But we’re not there for the heartache and heart break. We’re not there for the almost successes or the rejections or the nos or the try agains or the…and the list goes on.

After listening to Marvin Sapp’s “Never Would Have Made It,” I thought about my life in 2009. This time last year, I was in a major rut and so unsure what to do with myself. Well, I “knew” but I didn’t “know.” I KNOW you guys know where I’m coming from. I was planting a lot of seeds, but not seeing a lot of fruit. But I had hope. And I had God.

In the first four months of 2009, four of my five wants have come to pass (with the fifth trying to do its thang), and to me, as I experience this, it definitely feels like OVERNIGHT SUCCESS because one moment I felt down and out, and the next, blessings upon blessings were falling upon me like sweet rain quenching a drought.

But it wasn’t overnight success. Took me years..hell, almost two decades to get here…but I’m blessed to be here.

What I realized is it’s not about overnight success, it’s about how fast our God can move when there is an opening in our life for Him to move IN.

When I finally said (and meant it) “God, I’m done. Take the wheel, please,” He took it and drove me into a beautiful place.

And He can do the same for you…overnight.
