Why Resting Before You’re Ready Is The Most Powerful Act of Faith

The Most Powerful? IDK But it Sure Is POW👏🏾ER👏🏾FUL👏🏾!

“When I listen, God speaks.”

And baaaaaby! God sure be speaking quick, don’t She?!

I wish I could capture the fullness and beauty and glory that have transpired since I wrote my first post of the new year. And my first post since August.

So much good. So much power.

A whole heap of rest, too!

Though last night? Something kept me up. Perhaps it was the work I didn’t do to prepare for my 3 new interns starting today.

THREE. INTERNS.

Do you know what some people call that?! HELP! SUPPORT! ANSWERED PRAYERS! GOD IN ACTION!

I got home from my new PRN job (aka less than part time for my non-healthcare professional friends), and ya girl was tiyard. As in tired, but more. Because that’s what happens when you take a long nap and not a good sleep.

I didn’t even know last night that’s what it was. Like I knew a lil bit but not a lotta bit. I got home early from work. (Thank you for that, Sweet Black baby Jesus because respectfully, the American Heart Association videos are a lil dry, ya know?) I sat down to eat. I completed the Narcan training.

And then I did what I’d tell anybody to do.

I rested.

Yep, right then and there.

Work undone and incomplete. Not yet ready to receive my interns. But I know this, babes, God’s gonna meet me in the messy middle each and er’ daggon time!

And today was no different: I napped. Woke up. Hydrated. And me and Claudette bka Claue.ai finalized a very dope presentation in less than 45 minutes.

I had only their names and their resumes.

I joined the Zoom. And the merriment and shock and surprise when I saw 3 Black women staring back at me.

Could I have planned it any better? NOPE!

Y’all know I live for people of the global majority. Not in jest, but in ernest.

I have breath in my body to help others like myself.

And it was immediately evident that I need them as much as they need me.

And then I joined my two way prayer meeting. There was no chair. So I chaired it. And baaaaby! The prayers that were prayed?!?!?!?!!?! Chiiiiiiile.

I’m not gonna share er’thing from this prayer because I still got things ta do before I call it a night buuut, here’s my 3-way prayer (what I heard God say to me):

My child, My Love,
You are because I AM and they are because you are, too!

Don’t try to be anything. Don’t struggle or strive or reach.

Simply REST:
Reimagine
Exist
Be Still.
Time Travel.

My God. My love. My life. My ALL. I AM everything in you and nothing without you.

Help me direct them. Use me, oh God. Speak to me and through me.

I’m ready. But far more importantly, I AM WILLING.

When I listen, God speaks.
When I obey, Love ACTS.
This is the law, power and promise of prayer.

And so it is. It is written. It is said. It is spoken. It is already done. Amen!

Be Willing, Even if not Ready

Rest First. Trust God. Let Divine Orchestration Do the Rest.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before you take the next step. You don’t have to be “ready” to rest or to receive help or to let God meet you in the messy middle.

What if willingness is enough?
