No Drive-Thru

It had been 8 months since I moved down to Atlanta and I was on a roll!  I was feeling better about myself and my circumstances.  I was forming friendships and exploring the city.  Work was going well.  Things were good!

You see the week before I moved to Atlanta, God jump-started a healing process in me.  So 8 months later, when life was better, I was certain that the healing process was complete and I could zoom into my destiny.  (Dramatic I know.)

And then came a word from the Lord. LOL!

I was at my community group and a young woman shared that God was telling me "no drive-thru".

When she said it, I knew the word was from him.  I was so ready to zoom through the healing process so I could get on with my life.  I felt the healing was a waste of time, preventing me from reaching my goals.  I am learning that - 1) healing is a part of my destiny, and 2) without healing I will never awaken to the true nature of God and walk with him into my kingdom purpose.

Fast food at a drive-thru sits heavy on my stomach.  I've learned to stay away from it.  It looks, smells, and tastes so delicious; there's no palate substitute for butter, sugar, and carbs lol.  But the lingering headache, heart palpitations, and nausea is not worth it!  

Now when I am committed to eating balanced meals featuring whole grains, fruits, and veggies, I feel light, energized, and ready to take on the world!


Both meals satiate but only one really satisfies and fuels as designed.  

I'll skip the drive-thru, travel to God's house, take a seat at his table, and delight in his all natural, home-cooked goodies.  They truly satisfy my soul and prep me for righteous living.  There's no substitute.
