May I move forward now?

Uncategorized 2 Minutes

Hello Casters! It’s the first day of the month of May! The fifth month of the year, meaning that we only have about seven more months (244 days) left until 2020! For some people, you may be saying, “Yikes! I’ve better get moving!” for others, you may be saying, “I’m on the right track; however there is still more work to do.” Whichever statement best describes your current #mood; the key objective is to keep going; to move forward.

It’s been awhile since I’ve last blogged (while you’re here, check out I’m sure of it…) and though I felt pretty good about it, the blog was written on April 11th, 2019, almost a month ago.  Seeing that it was an achievement for me, I became stuck in the highlight. Today, when I checked my calendar, I realized that we were already in a new month. That which I was holding on to occurred weeks ago, which led me to ponder about other areas in my life where I decided to reside in the last “big thing”. I had to ask myself a very serious question, “May I move forward now?”

You may be questioning, why did she ask herself to move forward? Well, the answer is simple; it was me, myself and I that positioned me into a place of stagnation. Most of the time, we are ready to place blame, ready to find an excuse as to why we have not moved forward but this time I had no one to blame. Can I tell you this?  You are where you are today because of the decisions you made on yesterday. (Jim Rohn) I love how in the book of Deuteronomy 1: 3-7, Moses reminded the People of Israel everything God had commanded him concerning them:

God, our God, spoke to us: “You’ve stayed long enough at this mountain. On your way now. Get moving… Look, I’ve given you this land. Now go in and take it. It’s the land God promised to give your ancestors…” (MSG version)

Can I translate what God said into Keshia’s terms? Translation loading… “Get up from there! You’ve been in that place for too long! Geesh, how long are you gonna dwell on that mountain?! On your way now, get moving!” He even went on to say “Look child, I’ve given you this land (territory, your future, inheritance, etc.), what else do I have to do?! Now go in and take it! Darn!” I may have been a little extra (haha), but you get the picture!

So as a result, after diving into the Word, I’m ready to answer my question:

Self: May I move forward now?

Resurrected Self: I thought you’d never ask! Yes, you may (definition: have the ability, give permission to), on your way now, get moving! Oh yeah and don’t look back, as what’s ahead is far greater than what is behind.

Hello casters (my name for those who join me in casting their cares on the Lord)! My name is Lekeshia (some call me Keshia), welcome to Casting All Cares with Grace! I'm new to blogging; however I'm not at all new to writing. I've been writing since grade school and I absolutely love it! This blog is an expression of my love for Christ and more importantly Christ's love for me (& you). 1 Peter 5:7 tells us to cast all of our cares on Him because He cares for us. I find pleasure in knowing that whenever I feel burdened or whatever I’m feeling at that time, I have a father who doesn't mind me giving every care to Him...how amazing is that! Now a little about me...I'm 31 years old and I currently reside in Orlando, Florida with my two children Desmond, and Kalani. I enjoy spending time with family, reading, writing, music, dancing, ministry and life itself! My hope and prayer is that Casting All Cares with Grace will not just become another blog, however it'll be a place that will inspire others, that will uplift/motivate others, that will encourage others to push pass the obstacles of life while resting in Him, our creator.
