FLYING

I guess I better get used to this. . . time flying and starting to feel like I can't catch up. It's just that with so much that's going on, I feel like I don't have time for me. But I guess that is what this is. . . a little time for me. So many things have changed throughout the course of this year. I finished one year of college, helped establish an organization on campus, met a lot of ppl- most of whom I feel blessed to be friends with. . .

However, it wasn't all happy. I also lost an uncle soon after coming home from school. It was wierd. I was so upset when I found out that he died. It may sound selfish, but I was mad that I didn't get to tell him about my year- accomplishments that occurred and lessons I'd learned. A friend told me that I could just find a place and tell him everything there. My own personal space. Well. . . the day after we found out about my uncle's death, I helped chaperone a field trip w/ my mom. The second part of the day took place at an amusement park. There, I went on a ride, where you sit on a bench that glides through the air. It overlooks a great portion of the park and gives the effect of flying. I had been on it for a minute, when I remembered what my friend said. So, I just started thinking about everything that I would have told my uncle. EVERYTHING! And when it was all over, I felt like my mission was complete. I don't know for sure whether he knows what I wanted to say, but I hope he knew how much he was loved.

So, as another school year approaches, I need to re-evaluate myself and see what I can change. There's always room for improvement. Hopefully, with improvement. . . will come success.

7 Revelations for 37

I really was trying to get through this birthday- well- get away with not writing anything specific, but all of a sudden, ideas started flowing. So. . . Here are 7 Revelations that I am trying to be mindful of as I go through Year 37. 1. Proverbs 4:23 is a command (not a suggestion). It reads, "Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life (AMP)." Other translations say to keep or guard  your heart. . . In other words, be selective and protect it. Watch what you allow to enter your heart. Seeds may be planted by various circumstances, people with whom you interact, etc. but you do not need to allow everything to take root. Things like bitterness, frustration, and envy will try to find a home within you.  Beware: Whatever you allow to take root in your heart will be reflected through your actions! 2. This goes right with Point #1. Be willing to have uncomfortable conversations. Clearing the air can also help to keep your heart [and spirit] c...

The Unexpected Temptation

I know. . . It's been time for me to write something new.🙈 However, coming across this video from Jackie Hill Perry to prompted me to actually get this post out. One line pierced my heart. "When you have a gift that involves words, one of the ways the enemy will tempt you is to be silent." Wow!  I hone stly think silence is one of the last things that comes to mind when people think of temptation. According to Oxford Languages, the definition of temptation is  the desire to do something, especially something wrong or unwise. I can hear someone asking, "How can silence be wrong or unwise?"  Oh. . . Hold on for just a minute and it will come together. There are times when our obedience [to speak] may be the key to someone else's blessing . Your words and actions could essentially provide healing for your brother or sister in Christ! In the book of Revelation, we read, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.....

I Almost. . . But I Didn't!- October 11, 2011

I almost forgot what I was worth. . . almost forgot that He loved me first but He reminded me. Things almost got out of hand. I almost walked out of His Will. . . His plan for me! Yet, He loved me! So much so, that He sent messages to me. Whether it was through a still, soft voice Or a gentle nudge to make the right choice. I heard it.  I felt it. I heard Him say. . . Don't listen to the world’s sweet nothings. Everything's not gold- just because it glistens. I've created you for myself . I want to be your love, your joy. . . your help. When will you realize how much I  love you? What more do I have to do?! I've given you strength, health and life. I can take what’s wrong and make it right. Don't sell yourself short! How I feel for you is in my Word. You’re wonderful beautiful fearfully made The love I have for you will never fade. Don’t let the world distract you. Simply set your affections on the things that are true Lovel...
