Hey, hey, hey, I hope everyone is good, hoping everyone is well. I have been on a long hiatus for good reason,

but I also want to speak of honesty in this moment right now. Life has been lifhing, but God has been guiding too.

A lot of things that I have been praying for has come to fruition and it has come in abundance.

The funny thing about God is that God doesn't ask us when we want things to happen.

It's on God's time.

And so when he inserts the answered prayer, God does so in a way that we just have to adjust

and walk through with what He or God has given us.

I felt like I was in the preparation season and many of you have intimately shared your prayers with God and invoked some form of strength, wisdom, and also space to receive what it is that you need to receive.

But also in the process of things with bigger and better coming, you also notice that time

management is at stake. And that is honesty, honestly what's been happening for me.

And it's okay. I really had to take a moment to get

myself together because one thing that I know about the purpose is that it's not about me

it's about God and I wanted to really get back to the podcast itself and sharing some nuggets, some things that I have been learning in the last couple of months.

This was a journal entry that I had written in the midst of my hiatus.

And I wanted to share it with you because while I was feeling down on myself about not being

able to check all the boxes with everything that began in the beginning, I decided to give

myself grace and knew that I needed to take out some time for me. And via the title of this podcast episode, it is perhaps you need rest.

Now, whatever journey you find yourself in, I want you to remember something.

We often want to rush the process, but then get upset when it's not happening soon enough for us.

I have a little story to share that correlates to what I want to explain.

So years ago, I wanted to learn how to sew, but mainly because I wanted to know how to fix my children's pants, hemming, and also adjusting the waist, because it was always something.

So one day I went to the store and I purchased me a sewing machine.
