Walking In High Favor

Some older people in my community would say, “I’m blessed and highly favored” as a response to “How are you?” It’s so commonplace, it’s lost it’s impact on me and many others. I see people lives and it’s as if we have different definitions of the words they use. If you’re familiar with my writing, you’re aware of the fact that I believe in looking up the definitions of words.

Blessed means made holy or consecrated while favored means preferred or recommended. Based purely on the definition of the words, I prefer walking in high favor. Or better yet, an honest expression of how I’m actually doing when asked the question versus some sort of rote response.

Today, I’m making progress towards my purpose. I’m doing I can. I’m not over doing anything and at times I feel as if I’m not doing enough. The challenge is objective appraisals. I can’t see my progress as clearly as others. I’m living it, others are watching. “They’ve got their own mountain to climb” as my buddy John would say.

Walk in high favor, knowing you are His favorite.

Today, Wednesday, February 15, 2023, I am grateful that:

I’ve found a tutorial to assist in using and learning a new tool. It’s proven beneficial in the last day and I’ll make some more adjustments and learn more about the tool and the tutorial.

I landed another contract. Literally within six hours of losing one contract, I was awarded another contract. More hours at a higher rate, so more money. It should act as a propellant towards acquiring the team members needed in March and April.

I’ve adjusted to my new schedule. I’ll keep this schedule until I have to change. It’s that simple. I won’t overcomplicate things. This is what it is today. Tomorrow could change.

Know you are His favorite!

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
