Emotions

I definitely miss that feeling of being with someone and having that one special person to talk to and send mushy texts… Reading quotes and watching movies on love makes it even harder. It gets hard sometimes and sometimes, I'm ready to settle for less, but I know that this time is time for me to grow and evolve into an even better woman for an even better man. 

Random Prayer

Thank You for all those you have brought into my life and for those You took away… Thank You that they taught me a lesson and help me to learn from my mistakes.

My Weekend Was Great Because...

Random (There will be many of these)

I'm heading out to the Bi-annual African Christian Fellowship Young Adults conference. I'm so excited! This is the first time I'll sing praise and worship with a legit group. It's definitely gonna be a learning experience. I also can't wait to meet Africans from outside the DMV. The main reason I'm excited it to see God move. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. It's gonna be awesome!http://www.eventbrite.com/org/1674963240

Death- a part of the Life cycle

Psalm 89: 

⁴⁷ O [earnestly] remember how short my time is and what a mere fleeting life mine is. For what emptiness, falsity, futility, and frailty You have created all men!

   ⁴⁸ What man can live and shall not see death, or can deliver himself from the [powerful] hand of Sheol (the place of the dead)? Selah [pause, and calmly consider that]!
Around me, over the past couple of months, I've been hearing a lot about death. So many people have been dying. It makes you realize that life is but a vapor. Tomorrow just isn't a guarantee. Death, if Christ does not return, is inevitable. So how are we living today? What grudges are we holding? Make sure you have your life right, because your next breath is not promised.

A Love Story for the Books.

I always dream of that diamond ring dazzling on my left ring finger. I dream of wedding preparations and that perfect dress. I’m African, so I dream of that perfect African outfit for the reception. I imagine the colorful bridesmaid dresses. I dream of walking down the aisle, smiling so brightly. I get up to alter and my pastor is smiling, ready to read the vows. I look at my man… WAIT… Where’s his face? It’s a blur. I don’t know who he is! I’ve tried to fill his face with guys that I like/ liked, guy friends, or even random guys, but none seem to stay. Sometimes I THINK I know exactly who he is and sometimes I think I’m wrong. Maybe I haven’t met him… Or maybe he’s a friend. I can’t wait to meet him or for the romance to be revealed. But I know that God hasn’t revealed him yet because I’m not ready. But until that time, I know God will work on me to make me the woman I need to be, the woman right for him. I’ll grow and learn all that I need to learn. So when I finally do walk down the aisle, it will be to become one with the man that God has created JUST for me. I know he’ll be all that I could ever dream of and more. He’ll be worth the wait.

What I Read This Morning (05/19/2012)

Psalm 23:1-
"The LORD is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack."

I've read/heard this verse so many times, but it really struck me today. God is the Ultimate Shepherd. Everything we need, nourishment, guidance, and protection, He provides. There is nothing we lack, so why don't we act like it? Why don't we have faith that the Ultimate Shepherd will do His job?

The One

College has made be raise my standards in a potential man. Not just any man will do. He MUST love God, undeniably and more than he loves me…

Perfect...

Hair out of place, make up in disarray, bags under the eyes, clothes hanging loosely… it’s funny that at these times, I feel perfect…

#realworship

In life, you come to a point where you learn to really, genuinely worship God, no matter who is standing next to you, because they don’t know what you’ve been through and they weren’t beside you as you went through it… 

Precious Promise

“Don’t limit yourself to what you see now, those are mere strokes on the masterpiece I’m creating for your life. Don’t worry, when it is revealed it will all make sense, just be patient.”
