The journey has been long. It's had its ups and downs, good days and bad days. The good days outweight the bad, however. Sometimes I wake up feeling so down. The longer I lay there, the more the feeling deposits itself into my being. Misery loves company. So I search violently for the CDs and songs that I buried away; the songs that remind me of love, the songs that remind me of what I'm waiting on the Lord for.

Some people ask for money. Others ask for fame. Some people pray for material possessions. My top desire is to have the love of my life. This love

Thankful Friday

It's Friday. Thank God! This week has been a good week: no emotional melt downs (lol), no issues. It's been a week of confirmation, affirmation, and knowing. So, what am I thankful for this week?

1. My Job. All blessings come from the Lord. My job is truly a blessing. God has placed me in an environment in which I am able to learn and grow. In addition, the promotion potential is like none other! :) I know that God placed me here for spiritual reasons as well as natural reasons. In the natural, I have provision for bills, food, etc. But spiritually, I've been put there on assignment. I'm an example to those who don't know Christ. He has also blessed me with a wonderful friend. God plucked me out of Alexandria and placed me in D.C. to work. I happen to work with a woman who is around the same age as me, in love with the lord, and lives FIVE minutes from me. The way that we met was just too perfect for it to not be God. So, thank you lord for this job.

I Have to Check You

Okay. I feel the need to clarify some things, especially since my blog is now linked to my facebook profile. I'm not sure if that was such a smart idea because I am friends with a lot of people on there whom I'd rather not know ANYTHING about my life. But at the same time, I can't hide out and neglect the gift that God has given me. I'm a writer. I write. I'm transparent. My transparency helps others. This isn't something that I made up. This is evidenced from comments on my blog, messages I receive, and even people walking up to me. Not only that, I KNOW that what I do on here every day is a part of where God is leading me. And I will leave it at that.

I shouldn't have to explain myself, but I will.

The last post was not about me venting. It wasn't about me being upset. It wasn't about a girl crying over a lost relationship. The previous post was about the power of God. He cares so much for me and you too. He cared enough to talk to me. He cared enough to respond to something that was going on in my life. I've said it time and time again and I will say it again: God cares about the intricacies of our lives. He isn't a mean ogre living up in the clouds. He is love and he only wants the best for us. He is gracious. He is faithful. He is merciful. He is forgiving. He is my peace, my joy, my strength, my everything.

So, the next time I decide to be as transparent as I was yesterday, remember that it's never about me. It's about what the LORD IS DOING through it.

All things work together for the good of them who love the Lord.... (Romans 8:28). Get your weight up.

Be blessed.
