You still have time....

Greetings Good People!!
July 2025 is here!!!
It has been quite some time since I pinned a blog to share with you all. The first day of a new month seems appropriate for so many reasons. Not only is it a new month , it’s the start of the second half of the year that was also once new when this 2025 journey began. It is the half-way point of said year where people begin to evaluate what has taken place and what has not. For some the half-way point can seem a bit overwhelming, and one may have a sense of urgency to complete and compete with others to meet a goal or conquer a dream. Some may think that there is NOT enough TIME left to do what it is that GOD said do because six full months have passed and there is no proof or sign of what it is that you were believing for back in January.
As I began to pray and ask GOD which light bulb moment was appropriate for this new month , new day, and the halfway point of this interesting year I was prompted to remind each of you “ YOU STILL HAVE TIME”!!! It was hard to put into clear words initially what I heard but then I began to see reflections of the past and was reminded that our TIME in the natural and GOD’s time in the spirit are not running on the same clock! There are twenty-one key scriptures that reference TIME in the bible, yet we lay our hopes and dreams on one and that’s the global communities favorite “ FOR I KNOW the plans I have for you said the lord ……. Jeremiah 29:11. Now don’t get it twisted it’s my favorite as well but I also realize that in seasons where TIME is moving rapidly I need a reminder that does not just remind me of my hope and my future but one that reminds me of the FAVOR of the lord and WHAT the lord says about the TIME I feel I am up against in the NOW! Not my hope for later and my future but in the very moment. If this is something that you have found yourself thinking about lately when the calendar moves day to day month to month this these reminders are for YOU!
You still have TIME to do the thing(s) you need to do! But honestly it is going to require something that you run from on a daily basis. FOCUS , DISCPLINE and OBEDIENCE!
These are the three components to approaching TIME well. I say this because I want you to WIN. I want you to experience life on the other side of executing your purpose and not just doing things for a position or a post. I am talking about the things you have put aside and don’t share with a soul because it brings tears to your eyes every single month that passes that you don’t execute it! Or it’s the thing or things that are stopping you from moving forward in your finances , your mental health , your physical health, and your relationships that are attached to your Jer 29:11 faith. You have to do your part and the TIME is now!
I called this entry YOU STILL HAVE TIME because GOD is a GOD of grace …and GRACE is a reminder that if you tighten up YOU STILL HAVE TIME and if I am honest , less you tighten up you will always feel like you are running in circles, and that time is running out! Be mindful of what you are chasing!! You may feel like time is not on your side because you have been chasing the things that make you “ that guy/man “ or “that girl/woman” publicly but keeps you in shambles in private. I want you to take some time today on this first day of July , on this new month to start the second half of the year strong and whole!
Ask yourself these questions as you reflect and prepare to take charge of your TIME this MONTH!
· Where do I need to SHIFT my FOCUS in order to maximize my TIME?
· What areas do I lack DISCPLINE that is potentially hindering me and my TIME?
· What does OBEDIENCE look like in order to conquer and overcome the DISTRACTIONS associated to my FOCUS and DISCPLINE?
You have what it takes to WIN , TIME is on your side…… Maximize it!!!
Reminders:
· Proverbs 16: 9- A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps….
· Ecclesiastes 3:11 -He has made everything beautiful in its time….
· 2 Corinthians 6: 2 “In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you. “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
No more doing things just to be doing things , this is BIGGER than just being INTENTIONAL this is a purpose journey! ALL that GOD has for you is right in front of you and YOU have all of the tools to maintain it and sustain it! Every day is another opportunity to BE what he said. You notice I did not say just Do what he said , but BE what he said!
Some of your greatness is hidden behind what you do , just BE and DO the things that will push you into the direction of your dreams with JOY!
Love you all Deep!
Still here , still surrendering, Still Creating and Still BEING!
You still have TIME ; The TIME is Now…
