Hope & A Tad Late

It's about being on time.

Hope Matters

Okay, so Hope Buddies, I know this is coming a little late. You know I can’t go long without talking to y’all. 🤗 So, here we are, a tad late.

When I tell you it’s been a busy week, and it’s not over…Gee whiz! However, I’m hanging in there for the good and the great. As I was thinking about lateness, I was reminded of a saying I’ve heard from girlhood until now:

God’s never late, but He’s right on time.

Let me be clear. I’m not comparing my timing with His. But, what I was thinking about was how, even at this stage of my life, God just is out here moving like He wants to and not like I think He ought. 🙄 It never fails that my ‘think He ought’ has almost nothing to do with His 'wants to.’ *deep sigh and an eyeroll*

Hope Buddies, what I know is God’s plans are always better. And honestly, I’ve been acting contrary to what I know and getting in His way. I’m out here being a whole problem to myself. So, I’ve developed a plan for staying out of His way, and here it is:

• Sit down, be still, and listen.

• Relax in the knowledge that He knows better.

• Stop trying to tell God what to do. 😆

• As I do what I’m led to do, just LET THINGS HAPPEN!

🗣️Y’all! I have this very human need to know what’s going to happen before it happens and also for having a plan for what I think is the inevitable. So, this is about to be an interesting journey. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I also can hardly wait to see it all unfold.

Hope Buddies, I encourage you to dial yourselves back and give God free reign to speak to your hearts, tell you how to move, then follow through. It’s gonna feel really weird, but let’s journey together shall we?

Hope in God’s timing. ☕️

Coffee Matters

Coffee Buddies, if you absolutely must know what I sipped today, it was Folgers and the only coffee available to me. 😩

However, I’m so geeked, and I can’t tell you why until next week. I thought I was going to be sharing another coffee adventure today, as I’m in another state and had planned to visit a coffee shop I’ve been eyeing for quite some time. Yet, things did not work out that way.

BUT, next week…ooo wee! I just need y’all to hang in there with me until then. This is a major coffee adventure that’s about to happen.

So…

What are you hoping and sipping this week?

I appreciate you taking the time to read this hopeletter about my life and coffee. Please share with a friend who could use a little hope or coffee recommendation.
