I am a Christian because...

This video spoke so much of my truth.

Long time....Oh how I have missed you.

Hello!

Its been so long since I have been on this blog and wow!...so much has happened since I last posted. I am ready to get back to this journey...fearlessly. To sum it up...things have changed but they have only made me stronger, wiser and better and now more than ever is great time to start back into writing poetry, inspirational posts, and sharing music I love...maybe even sharing a few videos of me singing. Who knows! ;) Missed this site and now I am back at it again.

Please let me know if you are still here with me :)

Made my day: Michelle Williams "If I Had Your Eyes"

Happy Saturday!

How many times have we all been guilty of judging a book by its cover? It would take all day to count especially for me. Know that we all have a story and you never who you are talking to. Dont miss your blessing :)

Hey.

God is in control of all of your dreams, plans and aspirations. We can only see things from our own perspective but God has a bigger plan that we could never understand or comprehend. It is our job to simply place our trust and faith in Him. I know for me it is hard to relinquish all control at times because it is natural for me to be analytical and want all the answers. I even go as far as to make decisions without consulting with Him first. This year I can truly say that I have decided to only place my trust and faith in Him even it doesn't make sense to me or I will be looked at some type of way from people. I strongly encourage you to follow what God tells you to because He is above all things and knows all things and has your best interest at heart. Gods got you no matter what.

Made My Day!......King "In the meantime"

Ready.

the vision haunts me
like a nightmare seen both in the day and night
fear is so overwhelming but the dream feels so right
only i am left to configure
if only it came as fast as a trigger
i have no words but the thoughts that linger
hitting me like a snap of a finger
tick, tock, tick, tock
it just wont stop
and i am just like time
passing...
like cars on the freeway
when will it be the day
destination so unclear but yet so near
and im just
Ready.

Orientation Complete!

I completed my orientation for graduate school and I am so excited.

It feels good to start on a goal and see it come to life. God is so good as always.

I feel like He is giving me another chance and it just simply feels amazing.

Cant wait to see how everything goes.

Wish me blessings :) xoxo

See you in 2013!

As this year comes to a close, I have definitely learned the lesson of purpose, happiness, and strength. I cannot allow myself to step into another year by not being true to myself, grinding for my passion and listening totally to God. Everyone may not agree with the vision given to you but it is your responsibility to answer to the call. I truly believe God gives us chances but if our answer is always "soon I will", "not right now", and/or "I am scared/afraid", how can you expect for Him to continue to give you opportunities? Its time to take life for what it is and live it. Enough of wonder, confusion and doubt!

Faith without work is dead. Believing is an action word, so what are you doing through your life to show you believe? Forgive those who have hurt you. Love those who hate you. Let go and truly let God. As cliche as it sounds, you do only have one life to live, so why not make it worth it?

I have found myself often listening, always wanting validation, and taking the opinions of other people to make decisions for my life. Only to find myself unhappy, more confused, and always taking several steps back. You cant allow other's thoughts and opinions be an excuse for why you are not where you need to be because at the end of the day, God's thoughts of you should be all that matters. He has the ultimate plan over your life. (Jeremiah 29:1 - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.)

In 2013, I will get back to blogging, lose weight, start graduate school, and make the proper changes so I may make my past self proud. 

Time to get to work! It's time to fulfill dreams, purpose, and visions given to me. Play time is over :)

I hope everyone has a Merry CHRISTmas and a Happy New Year!!! 

I will see you in 2013! xoxo
