Where There's God's Will, There's A Way

To be honest, I did not have the best day yesterday. Today, however, is a new day & my plan is to enjoy my life and not worry! I have a feeling that I will be successful. All I can do is pray. Looking through some pictures made me realize that I am Me...not you, but me. I can do what I put my heart to, but My heart has to be in it. I feel that that is key. When you put your mind to do something, nothing can stop you BUT God, if it's not in His will for your life. So if it is God's will/if God sees fit...I will have a wonderfully blessed day!

Today: Enjoy Life
Tomorrow: Out w/ the Tonsils!!
Thursday: ... ...

Uniquely Beautiful

I've been taking a lot of pictures lately. I liked this one a bunch. It's beauty in it's simplest form. Compare it to a beautiful woman, if you will. It was created by Alpha/Omega. It too is not Flawless. It is one of kind. It too is Beautifully made. BUT think with me for a moment... if God "clothed" "fed" and kept this flower, which can be found hanging Outside over my fence, just IMAGINE how much more He will do for the ones who are made in His image & are called by His name...

Beautifully Unique.

life IS what YOU make it

I, apparently, woke up on the right side of the bed this morning. I am feeling revitalized (thank you Jesus) which is a great thing considering that Moet/Ciroc "drank" my bestie tried to kill me with last night...o well, as I stated before, I'm still Living (thanking God again!).

Last night, my family and I went to Class of '68's reunion, and in the back of my mind I wanted to be sort of negative. I was being sarcastic and satirical, but in the end, the joke was on me and I ended up learning a life lesson.

Lately, a lot of different things have been determining my attitude and my overall state of self. So, I prayed hard because being puppeted through life is not as easy as it looks. I was sick (literally) and tired (obviously). God got me to together and I could feel His goodness, I could feel my light shining within, but when it came down to going to this "old" people class reunion I was less than stoked. However, while I was there, I enjoyed myself to the nth degree, and it wasn't because of the drink. Something had clicked inside of me, a little voice of sorts, saying, "this is your life, not the people who are looking at you, not the people who may judge you...this IS your life." From that point, it was on.

My Uncles were in the building!

My dad & his friends -- I loved it! They looked Great

The AfterMath

Moral of the Story:

The "Gotcha-Gotcha" in being a positive happy person is actively BEING a POSITIVE HAPPY person!! Being positive and STAYING positive is an essential ingredient!! Negativity is not the driving force in a truly positive persons life. For example, you cannot want to be the best you because somebody doubts that you can...that's not real (&/OR) you can't say, "I am going to have a good day" or "I am going to have a good time at this reunion" but really feel the exact opposite...that's not real.

Life is how you see it. If you see the bad in everything, your life will be miserable, and I know a lot of people say, "Well, it's not that I'm seeing everything in a negative light, I'm a Realist." Being realistic doesn't mean that you have to be negative, there is good in the worst of the worst. You have to make the best of Every situation. Regardless of one individual "bad" situation or a multitude of them, your life IS and can only be what YOU make it.

This Morning When I Rose,...

It is 8:04am, and I am in a really positive mood. I'm feeling like more than a conqueror, and to be quite frank, I like it. I've been down lately, but this morning when I rose everything seemed to be back in place. The minor aches and the occasional cough did not bother me one bit. I'm feeling mind over matter this morning. If you can believe it, you know the rest, WELL this morning I am believing. I'm feeling like nothing is impossible for me right now. I'm just feeling so swanky this morning. Is my swagger trying to resurface itself??

Well, I'll tell you one thing. I am thankful this morning for this sudden renewal. It is WONDERFUL to know that I am God's child!! I am happy and I am not going to allow different situations, people, the children at the daycare (smile), or anything for that matter to bring me down. This feels real good.

I'm Still Living

My Big Bro -- Very Debonair

My Classmates -- Leshia & Geneva

Lastnight was great! We drank Moet and Ciroc until we were content, we laughed until our cheeks were sore, and we danced until our feet hurt! Most important, we lived in the moments... that makes life easy. Lately, I have had to trust God and I know that he is real. There is no doubt. I just have to remember that God's word doesn't promise no storms, but that He will be with us in our storms. I'm just thankful today for my family and friends. God is good
