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

Update! I'm Back

Omg! It has been so long since I blogged. A lot has happened since I last posted.

I plan on updating really soon :)

I miss blogging and have not forgotten about y'all :)

I feel like a stranger to blogger now and I am not sure if anyone even reads or is interested in my blog but for those that do....IM BACK! lol

I have missed all the people that I used to read like clock work. Not where I want to be but I am one step closer.

tty soon! :)

Only in His time

I want to cry but my tears are all dried out
Fear brings and makes me anxious
Only to be criticized in the end
When will I ever win?
When will my story begin?
Back and forth, up and down
No time for my feet to be leveled to the ground
I'm caught up
No where to run
No where, no place, no face, no sound
But the ceiling fan
And the chords of my favorite band
Soon they tell me
But none have ever been able to assure me
So it is a lie
Until I find the truth
Maybe it's only in heaven
Only in His eyes
Only in His time

made my day...Sha Sha Jones "Butterfly"

LOVE THIS SONG!

Soon it will be over...long time coming :)

I know it has been a little while. These days have been filled with wonder, confusion, and deep thought. I am happy though to say I am becoming more at peace and content with life's situations and problems. I am starting now to not sweat the small stuff and am realizing everything truly happens for a reason.

My mind has been focused on finding my purpose, true joy, and what makes me happy. What makes me happy is helping others, singing for God, and staying close to the ones who truly love and care for me. Nothing else matters...really.

Cliches aren't just simple cliches that are sparked from thin air. They are relative to every day life and will make sense in due time.

As I move forward, my prayer is that I never lose this feeling and moment. I pray I can share my whole story one day and feel no remorse or shame.

I am a work in progress but steady moving forward. I pray you are doing the same.

*Side note: I will be done with that work situation 3/31/12. I will update you guys on that and everything it has taught me.

Well love you all :) xoxo
