what do you do?

what do you do when you think of something so much that the more you try to occupy your mind on other things, the thought of that something gets stronger?





i guess its like car shopping. when you first start car shopping, you have an idea of what car you would like based on the model, mileage, year, and make, and from there you formulate your dream car. you start to shop around by yourself and sometimes with others that have your best interest in mind...right? well nehoo, you get to shopping and you finally see the car that comes extremely close to your dream car and you just have to have that car BUT of course the car is out of your price range for the moment and it would be best to shop around some more just to ensure you are making the right decision on buying the car. i said all this to say i want that car that i first seen that had my eyes glued even when i went to shop around some more BUT how can i get the car if its out of my price range at the moment.

btw the "something" that i want or thinking of is not a car. its simply used for an example.




when that something (whatever it may be) is steady on your mind constantly...what do you do? do you hope and pray that something will come back, wait for it to be in range at the right time, or simply just go looking for something else to replace or come close to that something you cant stop thinking about? any suggestions?? anybody???

dont be afraid to leave a comment...i really want to know how you feel about this:)

Baby Steps...

Hey everyone. How are you guys? Me...Im good:)

Today I only had one class at 1 oclock and I did two hours for work/study (mostly work). Nehoo I am just getting back from working out and I am happy that I followed through. I did 30 mins on the treadmill and 3 mins on the eliptical (i do not know what it is called but it works out every part of your body). I know thats not much but I am taking baby steps.

I took soda out of my diet and I am eating healthy. Also I am not eating after 7 so I think I will be able to meet my goal of 10lbs. by Feb. 26. I feel that if I continue to take baby steps and gradually add more to my workout, I should be fine. One thing I dont of course want to do is start and stop, so I recognized the common pattern of working myself out too hard and quitting. Hopefully with these baby steps I will soon be able to make big girl steps to grown up steps lol

I will definitely update you guys daily or weekly on my progress. Well ttyl...love you guys and remember KEEP GOD FIRST!!! because you can do all things through Christ that strengthens you:)

Hello my inspirations:)

Im back at school and since I have been here, we have mostly been snowed in. Classes were cancelled the 2nd and 3rd day of classes. Hopefully next week will be better.

Also, it has been really really boring here and nothing exciting has happened yet. Thats why I havent been able to blog about too much of anything. I am having alot of mixed emotions since I have been back. Its like I love the people I am around but I cannot wait to get far far away from this school.

btw I think I may have found a grad school that I may like. My plans are to go to grad school and find a job on the side. I feel this is best for me and where I am trying to go.

Well until next time, ttyl xoxo-Dominique

Love.

Hey you guys...How are you? Me Im feeling bittersweet about going back to school tomorrow for my last semester at Wilberforce University (Da Wu!) but all in all I cant wait to get it over with and start a new chapter in my life.

Well hopefully I will be able to post more about me personally and share some photos also with you guys.

Look at ME poem/ New Year's Resolution

Look at me

Proud and ready to be

All above the possibilities

Look at me

Im happy and free

No more chains holding me

See my fire and desire

Harmonic and melodic like the choir

I am one and all

Here fulfilling and running to my call

Realization hits and im just

As HE wants with no fuss

Look at me

A prize for all to see

Child of God ready for duty

Intellect far more than a cutie

No longer that should be me

No longer searching for prosperity

This is it

Safe and sound

This is it

Declaring for heaven bound

Taking the stand

Don't need a brand

Secure and wrapped in the blood of the lamb

Look at me

Can't you see

That little girl is erased

A woman has taken her place

And she is more that you can imagine

Filled with love and deep passion

Not amused by your dress

Because it takes far more to impress

Don't second guess

Look at ME


As 2009 comes to a close, I have to say that I am thankful for this year because it was definitely the year of letting go. I am closer to God, focused, and ready. 2010 is the year I feel will be the year that I will finally WIN and God will reveal things to me that I never saw coming. I am looking forward to being stronger spiritually and mentally. I also want to gain my security back and get my health on track. I dont really want to make a New Years Resolution but continue on God's path.

btw I am happy to see some new inspirations (70 followers yay!!!!) I hope this blog continues to grow and stand for its purpose:)

Know your POSITION.

I think as women we need to understand our position. God placed us here on earth to be simply help. Now this doesnt mean you have to be under someone command or demand, but you do have to understand your position. This is the reason why marriages are failing and why sometimes us good girls end up with the short end of the stick.

God made man the head of the household and made women his help and not the head. After that is the children. It may seem again we are being brought down, but look a little closer, it isnt that way because men arent suppose to rule us or dominate over us. He is simply the one with the final say with our help.

Position is simply a place or arrangement for order. It has nothing to do with having more education, wisdom, or other attribute to make us feel we should be higher than the next person. These things do not make you or anyone else ruler of anything. It is just what it is. We are the weaker vessel not in strength or faith but in position. Yes, as women, we were made and its in our nature to be independent beings (there is no coincidence there is more women on earth than men but nehoo!), so in essence it is true, we dont need men, they need us, but we must understand position and order.

Ephesians 5:22-33
5:22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord, 5:23 because the husband is the head of the wife as also Christ is the head of the church – he himself being the savior of the body. 5:24 But as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 5:25 Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her 5:26 to sanctify her by cleansing her with the washing of the water by the word, 5:27 so that he may present the church to himself as glorious – not having a stain or wrinkle, or any such blemish, but holy and blameless. 5:28 In the same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 5:29 For no one has ever hated his own body but he feeds it and takes care of it, just as Christ also does the church, 5:30 for we are members of his body. 5:31 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. 5:32 This mystery is great – but I am actually speaking with reference to Christ and the church. 5:33 Nevertheless, each one of you must also love his own wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

A few weeks ago, a preacher brought this to the attention of the church and it really but many things in perspective, so of course I had to share this with you guys.

2. Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart


3. Doesnt Mean Anything


4. Like a Sea


5. Put It in a Love Song
