When my dreams remain at the forefront of my mind, there is seldom enough room to complain or to loose focus. My life is the business of creating. I only have time to build things glorious. I only have time to fight for things worthy. I only have time to stand and create a life that matters to me and the people watching–you know the ones, the little girls and the little boys who will need some footsteps to lead the way. The PRO 31.27 does not have time for gossip and complaining and PITY, she only has time to build things that matter.
We all have those pity days where we think we are the only ones going through and we have it worst than everyone around us (well poor, lonely us). I say ‘suck it up ladies (and gentlemen)’ because it’s time to learn how to take what we have and turn it into what we want. Get your head straight so that you can walk your plan right out of your mess and into your dream. Even if you have to baby step it out, get to stepping. Pity parties shorten your stride, limit your vision, dominate your dream-focus, and you don’t have time for that. As my mother says, you only have time ‘to get that root.’ Meaning, there is a problem that only you are qualified to solve for your life, your family, your community, and your team. You have to solve it, in other words, you have to get that root. There will be all kinds of distractions, but you have to stay focused because you are assigned to get that root.
Our personal and individual struggles are real and I don’t take them lightly, but don’t you isolate your heart and allow yourself to believe that the pain and struggle is bigger than the answer because it’s not. There are women (and men) who’s husbands (and wives) are at war and they stand because they have to. There are women (and men) whose lives are turned upside down because of divorce and they are strong enough to stand up for their lives because they are able and they must. Well, if you stand there with a dream that is deferring and it is festering in your heart, then get your head together too so that you can stand for the long run, learn the lessons of this season, and walk into your destiny with a heart unscarred but strong enough to hold on to the dream that you always wanted.
Get your head together, because the PRO 31.27 has work to do, the hardest work of all,
that heart work,
that growth work,
that I can be and will be better than I am work,
that I will change and grow up work,
that I have the guts to face my fears work,
that condition my heart and steady my mind for the long haul work,
that keep me humble and keep me holy work,
that ‘I can do all things through Christ Jesus’ work.
‘All things’ is ‘all things,’
so
get your head together
because you’re a PRO
and you have work to do.

She looks well to how things go in her household, and the bread of idleness (gossip, discontent, and self-pity) she will not eat. PRO 31:27 AMP
