			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>OVERNIGHT SUCCESS. I hear this a lot in my circles, especially when it  seems like a writer got his or her &#8220;fame&#8221; a bit too soon&#8230;or out of the  blue&#8230;or without any obstacles and setbacks.</p>
<p>But we&#8217;re not there for the  heartache and heart break. We&#8217;re not there for the almost successes or the  rejections or the nos or the try agains or the&#8230;and the list goes  on.</p>
<p>After listening to Marvin Sapp&#8217;s &#8220;Never Would Have Made It,&#8221; 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 &#8220;knew&#8221; but I didn&#8217;t &#8220;know.&#8221; I KNOW you  guys know where I&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>But  it wasn&#8217;t overnight success. Took me years..hell, almost two decades to get  here&#8230;but I&#8217;m blessed to be here.</p>
<p>What I realized is it&#8217;s not about  overnight success, it&#8217;s about how fast our God can move when there is an opening  in our life for Him to move IN.</p>
<p>When I finally said (and meant it) &#8220;God,  I&#8217;m done. Take the wheel, please,&#8221; He took it and drove me into a beautiful  place.</p>
<p>And He can do the same for you&#8230;overnight.</p></div>
