\"WhenI asked myself that question just this weekend, as I wondered where in the world the first half the year had gone. So much I planned to do still sits undone, and yet there have been so many unexpected wins that I can\u2019t help but celebrate. It\u2019s amazing how you can be on \u201cpurpose\u201d even when you\u2019re off \u201cplan\u201d<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This seems to be the theme of my life now. You see for over a year, I\u2019ve been working on my book. Truthfully, I\u2019ve been talking about it so long, I\u2019m sick of it. I mean, I love it, but I\u2019m tired of hearing myself, and not seeing a book.<\/span><\/p>\n

So at the beginning of the year I decided enough was enough! No more chitchat \u2013 it was time for action! I scoped it out (for like, the eleventh time), moved content around, and diligently wrote. It was such a wonderful feeling as words started flowing on the page.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then in May I hit a lull in writing, and another opportunity appeared. To my surprise I was asked to be a content partner for an online television network. In the vast land of You Tube, they had stumbled upon the Loving on Me TV<\/strong><\/a> channel, liked what they saw, and invited me to come on board.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now if I wasn\u2019t on a walk of faith, I probably would have said this was just a distraction from my writing, that I should finish the book first, and then go on to the television series. But in my gut, I knew this was something different. This was the horse of opportunity, and I needed to take hold.<\/span><\/p>\n

You see, from the beginning God told me there would be television for Loving on Me. He just hadn\u2019t revealed how. So I was expecting that at some point that part of the vision would come to fruition, but not until the brand was more established. Or at the very least we had more than 38 You Tube subscribers! But God – I SO love those words \u2013 He had other plans.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, we\u2019ve now embarked on a grand adventure to produce a series of short, inspirational videos that prayerfully will light the fires of women around the globe. Not having gone to school for radio and television, I\u2019ve had to learn a LOT. But you know what – I\u2019m having a blast! My soul feels alive and in line with my divine assignment.<\/span><\/p>\n

And at the end of the day, isn\u2019t that what life\u2019s really about? Living life to the fullest, and taking advantage of the opportunities God places before us, rather than being afraid and sticking to the plan? Yeah, I think so too, and yet I have this tinge of disappointment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because, of course, now I\u2019m off the schedule I set for myself for the book. Will I finish it? Absolutely! But it probably won\u2019t be when I imagined, and that feels a little like I didn\u2019t make my goal, which kind of sucks.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s what led me to ask myself the question when is it enough? I mean, really! God blessed me with an unexpected, unmerited opportunity and I have the nerve to be disappointed because I didn\u2019t finish what I wanted to do. How silly am I?<\/span><\/p>\n

I had to immediately correct my thinking. Instead of focusing on what I didn\u2019t get done, I started thinking of all the things I did.<\/span><\/p>\n
