WHY MISS D AND NOT MS D ?

I have a possible opportunity coming up that would allow me to try new products from NPowerNutrition. It requires that I have an Instagram account. I also recently signed up for three years of Social Media Coaching with Steve Black. Any how I asked my coworkers to follow me on Instagram @Missdkirkland. My boss said you spelled it wrong. It should be MS. not Miss. The have called me Ms. D for many years.

That question set me back. I thought what in the world I know how to spell how could I make such an obvious mistake. I immediately asked God what was I thinking? How could I make a mistake like that? Did I hear you incorrectly? Yes, I talk to God, yes, he talks to me no I am not crazy. God very clearly years ago told me to write this blog. He very clearly gave me Coffee with Miss D. I did not immediately obey him. Delayed obedience is still disobedience. If you have been reading my blogs, you know I am doing my best to follow him instantly.

What was God’s answer you ask? He reminded me that he did give me the name exactly the way I have it. My favorite verse came to my mind. For I know the plans I have for you, “declares the Lord,” plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

I realize now he wanted to show me some of the things in life I have missed, the ones he allowed me to. I could have easily been killed when my husband was. I could have died in the bad accident I had in 98. I was not available one-night years ago when a friend killed someone and wanted me to get them out of the state. The list can go on, I am sure. These are just a few of the things I know he allowed me to miss.

Then he reminded me of things I have not missed because I trust in him and do my best to obey. I have lived a great life. It has not been without sorrow or difficulty for sure. He has brought so many wonderful people into my life. See these two brothers. I am married to the one in black. We have our ups and downs, but I married him after much prayer and when things come up, I just pray we figure it out. He is a great guy. He loves my children as if they are his own. He is a wonderful grandfather to all of our grand angels. The other handsome dude is my awesome brother-in-law. He is one of those people who just leaves you feeling better. He lights up the room. I do not get to see him or talk to him as much as I would like but he holds a special place in my heart. He was a bonus when I married, along with many other family members. Glad I didn’t miss this.

Last year I joined a Networking group. I was nervous at first, however God led me to this group via a beautiful soul Pam Burton, she is another person who is a pure joy to be around. Lisa Lewis is also another person who lights up a room and leaves you just feeling better.

I joined the Nicole Wilkins community at the end of 2019. It has introduced me to lots of new people. My great accountability partners, Naomi Rabon trainer extraordinaire and numerous others with the same goal as myself.

I would have missed out on those muscles I am getting. I would have missed out on how good I feel. I would have missed being able to run and keep up with all my grand angels.

Finally, just in case I was doubting myself and the whole Miss Vs Ms. I heard two songs. Keep Me In The Moment by Jeremy Camp and I Don’t Want To Miss I(t by Ellie Holcomb.

There you go. Live in the moment, do not miss what God has for you.

Blessings to you all,

Miss D
