BIRTHED                                                         

 

As we all begin to step into this new season, this new semester, I believe there are some thing that are about to take place and just wow our nation. More specifically I believe there are things inside of you that are about to be released into GSU, or whatever University you feel is best for you.

 

Everyone reading this please take note that your CURRENT SITUATION IS NOT YOUR FINAL DESTINATION.  With that being said, stop putting emphasis on where you are, start putting emphasis on where you are going. Your situation may be hard and you may be struggling, but the pain is temporary. When you go through hell be sure to come out on fire. I say that meaning when everything is going on and it seems like you can't go on just keep going. Let all the failures fuel your fire to reach your desire.

 

A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour has come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. Now I mention this as symbolism. I believe that some people are pregnant with new ideas, new thoughts that would transform and transpire to realities. I believe people have been pregnant with business ideas, financial aid ideas, new work, new love, new creativity and so much more. I mention pregnancy because when a woman is pregnant she goes through mixed emotions, weight gain, pain, and stress. That's how it is when you have a new idea about a school program, or you want to go about doing something in a different way, or you want to start your business. You have an idea that you are pregnant with, but there is a process in which your work load is heavier than before, stress comes, and you have to face pain. Things always get worse before they get better.

 
There comes a time when the pregnant woman has to give birth. When she finally gives birth and releases that child into the world she can train it up and she can watch it blossom and grow. That's how it is after you had all the hurt, frustration, and pain of a new idea. You get to the point where it's time to birth what's inside of you. What I like so much about this next season is that I believe some world changing ideas are about to be birthed. I believe some cures for diseases will be birthed. I believe some positive change will be birthed. Another reason why I am excited is because when a woman gives birth. Not only does she birth a child, but she releases a child into the world and trains it up. When you birth your idea, it is released into the world and it's up to you to train it up.

 

So I challenge you today, give birth to what is inside of you. Release it into existence. When it leaves the womb it's no longer trapped in a box. It is now free to expand and grow. Don't wait till tomorrow, next week, or next year. Today is your day to give birth and release!
