Milano -

Good morning my loves.

Remember you have the pages, God has the pen. We write the draft but God writes in pen.

We can plan and plan. But at the end of the day, like a little child and a parent, we are the children and God is our parent.

He sees the big picture. He knows more than us. He’s all knowing. Sometimes when we see disappointment, God is really protecting us from what we can’t see.

So, today, when you feel disappointed or dismayed, keep in mind God knows the bigger picture. He’s writing your story. He’s all knowing and we’re not.

I always envision a little child who wants to get the cake out of the oven, but the parents know it’s hot. They’ll get burned. They must wait until it’s done baking, rising, cooling, icinged, and ready.

We’re like that. If we want what we want before it’s time, we might get burnt, or have a cake that crumbles and has no icing. We must not try to rush God. God is all knowing. He wants us to have the finished product, icing and all!

We must trust. We must wait on God. He has a divine plane for our lives and doesn’t want us to get burnt.

We must wait on the Lord. 🙏

Amen! 🙌

Love

Thanks for your patience! I know I announced the book would be out soon. However, I’m trying to go the traditional route instead of self publishing. Thanks for your patience! 💜🥰

To “find yourself”
Means what exactly?
by Darcia Marie

To be at peace with one’s self no matter what circumstances come and go.

To be at such peace within yourself that the hurricane can spin around you and yet, you know You can stand firm in the storm.

“Finding one’s self” is not “getting to know one’s self” … That in itself is a lifelong journey as we are ever evolving. We may pick our “favorite things” and by the time we “conquer” them, they are changing, As we are not the same as we once were.

So, we must learn how to ground ourselves in all situations, to stand firm, to find the peace within, to stand with a clear mind in the midst of the chaos, in the midst of the tornado, in the midst of the darts.

We must stand in our
Godfidence.

How do we do this? By being armed with he Armor of God. 🙏🙏🙏 Stand firm, friends, suited in your armor. 🙏💙🙏

In life,
We make plans, God rearranges them. We don’t see the future, but we trust Gods plans are better than ours, because, well, He’s all knowing and we are merely human.

The agony of going from where we were to where we’re going and overcoming the challenge of change, temptation, and detour is not an easy venture. However, it’s a rewarding and peaceful one.

Losing people in your life that aren’t meant to be there is heartbreaking, and it aches terribly, but sometimes it’s required for growth.

Letting go is an art that must be mastered because it’s inevitable isn’t it?

Growth. Growth is the goal. It it’s never free. It requires pain. It requires and endless exchange of gain and loss. It requires effort and intention. And discipline. And sometimes it just plain hurts.

BUT….

But the peace that supersedes the succession….. the joy the overrides at the completion of each mission….the knowledge of
Knowing we weren’t stagnant. The love of knowing we’re becoming what we desire our children to become.

All of that makes the pain worth having.

So, don’t give up. Hold on. Keep working, keep sacrificing. Keep pushing forward! Get up after you fall down! You’re worth it! Keep. Moving! This pain won’t last forever. Just hold on and put one step in front of the other…… ♥️🙏🥹♥️🙌🙏♥️😊💔♥️

We all get there… feeling stuck, in a slump, I’m the “merry go round”, walking up a down escalator at the same speed, walking around with gray glasses on. But the good news is, we don’t have to stay there!

Do you know that our thoughts impact our words. Our words impact our actions. Our actions shape our future.

Therefore by controlling your thoughts, you change your future! Bam!

We must not talk down to ourselves. We must not think we can’t achieve big things. We must not limit ourselves to “it is what it is” …. Nasty phrase! We have to change our thought process!

Controlling our thoughts is key to shaping our future!

We must not limit ourselves!

Smell the roses!
Reach for the stars!

Love, Darcia

Nobody is
'Not good enough to accomplish'
'Too small to matter'
Or Any of that false negativity and nonsense....

Whatever or whoever is telling you that you're not good enough, you can't do it, you don't have it in you, well .... Drown out that voice.

You are good enough! You do have it in you!

The question is, "Will you choose to change your mindset? Will you choose to take the actions? Will you choose to take the steps needed? Will you choose to accomplish? Will you choose to achieve?"

You have it in you. Believe in yourself and don't be afraid of the unknown. Learn, act, achieve!

Sometimes we are our own worst enemy. We sabotage ourselves. For instance, since we've failed before, we tend to think we're going to fail again.
Those are lies.

We must believe that we can succeed in order to succeed. People don't succeed by saying "it's not going to work anyway." When we have failing expectations, we tend to meet your goal / expectation of failure.

When we believe in ourselves and the ability to achieve and reach the top, we tend to find achievement, and maybe even find joy.

Rise your expectations to meet your desired goals. Know there will be speed bumps along the way. It may take longer than you had anticipated but it's achievable! Enjoy the ride!

Believe you can!
Know you can!
Do!

Book release is getting close! Time to work on the cover!! 🙌🙌

This is Now my new favorite picture; “Contemplation”.

The setting for this was an impromptu visit to a beautiful restaurant overlooking a gorgeous sunset. It was peaceful, serene, and just relaxing. The ambiance and outlook was the stuff dreams are made of. As my friend and I sat there she stole a few shots of me taking it all in.

I think of how life changes in an instant. One moment you’re in one chapter, and soon you’re in the next.

We must look forward to the accomplishments that lie ahead. Yet, we must learn to appreciate each chapter as were in it, not after we’ve lived it. Fore, if we wait until the moment is gone to appreciate it, we are truly not enjoying life, we’re just merely living reminiscing. Let us learn to take the moments in as we’re in them, to be present in the now. 💜

I was chatting with a friend on messenger and they said “I was kind of envious of you I guess you call it at first because... Seriously you look happy and you're doing your thing 👍”

I responded openly and I want to share:
“Oh man! Let me tell you, I also mourn the ppl that aren’t in my life anymore. I cry often bc I’m alone. Even though I’m meant to be in this season. I struggle every day. I motivate myself (almost) every day. I pray. I work diligently. I push myself. What I’m doing is hard. .. I’m trying my hardest to enjoy the journey, and sometimes I do. There are a lot of battles. But at the end of the day, I know I’m walking in Gods will. I know I’m on the path He destined and requested of me, and that, that in itself, brings my such a peace that supersedes understanding, such an abundant amount of joy.

So, even though my life is far from perfect and I’ve chosen to a difficult path, God grants me a supernatural strength, endurance, peace and joy. 🙏🙏🙏 “

That’s where my joy comes from, knowing I’m in His will.

Brené Brown would tell me my vulnerability is strength. So, I’m choosing to share not just the smiley pictures and achievements, but the raw struggle as well.

Your joy is inside you, it’s walking in your destined path! It’s not at the store or on social media or in a movie. It’s in overcoming obstacles and hurdles and walking in the place you’re meant to me, in your journey. 💖💜❤️

I’m back!!! AND… pieces of my book will be posted here! 🙌👏🙌

Due to the time restrictions of med school, my motivational posts will be posted at Mama’s Going Back to School! Please follow for more motivations there!!!
