TIPS
ON EMBRACING LIFE’ S UNCERTAINTIES
Uncertainty; who said it needs to be embraced? There was a long time where I hated uncertainties and inconvenience. I truly believed that my time was more important than those around me. Pretty selfish, right? I didn’ t care who or what came up, if it impeded on my time I was angry. Now, I know I’ m not the only one who has or is currently experiencing these feelings. You are NOT alone. Understand that uncertainties happen but it’ s how you can learn to embrace them that makes all the difference. Let me tell you a story of my life’ s uncertainty. If anyone knows me, they know the gym is my safe space. There was one day I wanted to go to the gym and I needed my parents to watch my son. Which they always did, but this day in particular they had plans and couldn’ t. I began to feel my flesh boiling because I couldn’ t understand why they couldn’ t change their plans to fit mine.

Once again selfish, but in that moment I learned something that reframed uncertainties and inconveniences in my life. And that is“ In the times of uncertainty the only certain thing is GOD”. Even though I couldn ' t go to the gym, there were still other and better alternatives. Sometimes God is protecting you from something that you have no idea about. Ladies and gentlemen, remember to embrace the uncertainties of life by focusing on what YOU can control and strengthening your trust in God. It will make all the difference when it comes to embracing life’ s uncertainties.
