I know I'm not the only one who doesn't like not knowing God's full plan. I mean like the way my patience is set up, I need to know in advance Lord, please and thank you.

OK, sis, sit tight ‘cause here's the message: Naaman in the Bible had leprosy. He was told by the prophet Elisha to wash in the Jordan River seven times to be healed, and he felt some type of way about it because the Jordan River just wasn't good enough for him (see 2Kings 5:1-19). Now fast forward to the blind man (see John 9:6-12). Jesus spit on the ground, made mud, and then put the mud on the blind man's eyes, and boom, he was healed. Now we know he didn't see that coming (lol). Stay focused.

Listen, I needed healing in my body, spirit, and soul. God was like, “Start journaling,” and I was like, “OK, God, that seems way too easy,” because you couldn't have told me that using the 'Show Up FOR Yourself' journal as a tool to achieve personal wellness, stress relief, and self-growth goals would transform my life the way it did. Because see, it's in the moments of uncertainty that we grow. We have to trust God even when God's plan doesn't make sense to us. Because uh, you ain't never created no heaven or earth anyway. Am I right about it?

God's Plan: Show Up FOR Yourself

I get it, sometimes you (WE) struggle with not knowing God’s plan. I mean seriously, can we get a sneak peek, a roadmap…something, right? Certainly, patience is a virtue, but sometimes I'm out here like, "Lord, a little heads up would be nice!" Amen?!

In those moments of "What's the plan, God?" we have to trust Him regardless. For me, journaling helps me to stop overthinking and turn over the reins of any issue I face to the loving hands of our more-than-capable Father God. It is a great way to keep track of prayers, answered prayers, goals, dreams, and frustrations – like therapy on paper, a written testimony. Who knew a pen and some pages could be so powerful?! He knows. As usual...He knows!

The 'Show Up FOR Yourself' journal is an anti-stress arrow to wellness and a love letter for your future self. Following the guided prompts will help you build healthy habits so you can show up for yourself consistently. No use trying to pour from an empty cup, right?! Think of it as your refill.

And again, I get it; trusting God's plan isn't always a walk in the park, or as simple as journaling. However, it can be that simple. And, guess what, whether hard or easy, He didn't need to consult us when He created the universe and He doesn't need to consult us about anything now. His ways are higher than ours, and sometimes they don't make earthly sense to us - AT ALL (lol). Be obedient to His voice anyway. God's plan never fails.
