Two More Weeks Until The Year is Over

I can't believe it this year of 2013 is almost over. There has been so much that has happened, good and bad. Even though things have been at a halt or so it feels like it has, God has been good. I just wanted to write this post just in case, I may not even write anything at all. I know you are probably thinking wow 2013 is almost over and that you want 2014 to hurry up and arrive. I always think in my head, why do people always say that though. I just expect nothing but great things to come forth in 2014. There are certain things that have happened I am most certainly not pleased with but to God be the glory. I just have to keep in my mind of who I am and who's I am. If I don't, then I know I will go insane. But thanks be to God, He is the only one that can understand me.I refuse to believe that I am beneath and not above. For even though I went through this year and we go through every year to be honest SOMETHING; I know that this year will be more blessings than trials. I decree and declare it over my life in the name of Jesus. You have to keep on saying things over yourself even if you can't see it. It's crazy because when I look back over this year and I see where I was supposed to be heading to as of next year, it seemed like it was going to be great but God saved me from the relationship that I was in. It didn't feel good and I believe that I still fully haven't understood but I will understand one day. When it happens I will know that God already has the BEST for me. I can't believe that 2013 is almost over. It gets me excited but at the same time helps me to reflect on the year that has taken place. Looking at where I was in the beginning to where I am now and even though some things haven't been manifest yet, I can see that there has been change. There are some areas in my life spritually as well as naturally that need some change, but everything in God's timing. I know that I have grown and there are still some tendancies about me that still have to be shedded off. But, I bless God. I am not complacent and at least I'm not hoping that I am, but I am positioning myself to see the change and be apart of the change that is to come at my place of work. I am expecting many of the strongholds and things that once have hindered me to be loosed and that I will be better in Jesus name.I will say that it does get rough and I do shed tears, but with each breakdown and time in which I cry I know that I am one step closer to my victory. I know where to leave it at and who to give it to.I am not perfect but I am striving toward perfection in Jesus. Wow, to think that the year is almost over is amazing it feels like I had ended up just started school and now to see that I have passed my classes and soon am graduating is amazing. This is only the beginning and there will be more to come. I have been underneath or so it seems for a while, but I remember the story of Joseph and what he had to face as an example. I realize that I must be humble before being exalted and I know that some people will talk about me and hate me for no reason. But, that's what Jesus faced.If He had to go through it what makes me any different and so I have been mindful that all is lowliness is good because I am well on my way. Just reflect on your life during this year. This is my reflection. 

 Happy Holidays!

It's Time to Do You!

Honey, I have been learning this title for a minute just recently. If I didn't know before, I surely know now. Don't mind why I may have decided to write in this color, it was the time to something different in a sense. I hope it caught your attention too. Smile. This is something that a sister in Christ says all the time when she talks or sends text messages. It's time for you to deal with you and stop supporting everyone else. I mean we can still support them and be a part of what their vision is but if you don't indulge in yourself daily in which you give your vision time to cultivate, then there is surely a problem. I am learning this very thing  because  currently I am supporting sisters and brothers in Christ and the vision they have. What about me? Now, I can't ask this question if I'm not doing anything about it.Now what their vision entails can go a long to the point where if I play my cards right, I can end up helping myself by being apart of them. It took me a while and it is still taking me a minute to wake up and actually get it but I believe that I am getting it now. I have to make sure that I work towards myself in some way because I have to market myself and this is not an easy thing. You have to pull some strings and make connections to get to where you are going. I am learning that from those who are around me and who are mentoring or keeping me accountable. I am really thankful for them being in my life and how God has really placed them in my life. It doesn't matter what anyone else says because at the end of the day they can care less about you when it comes to them. I'm not saying to treat people the same way they treat us. If you are a born again believer and following after Christ you shouldn't be treating them that way anyway.You have to treat them better that they think that you are weird and something is wrong with you, but you know that it  is the Savior that lives in you and you make the difference from everyone in the world. We live in the world, but we are not of the world. I can say that I am ready to do me because God has to move aside this person and this significant other just to get my attention and say hey time to do you boo. God knows just what is best for me more than I will ever know. I can't imagine not having Jesus in my life for I am a mess but am turning into a message right before His eyes. This is a journey and a journey is not something that could be rushed but it is a step by step process that is gradually progressing or sometimes not progressing but you would hope for the journey to progress as time goes on. If we don't invest in ourselves and we invest in everyone else, then we won't be able to do the things that we are supposed to do on this earth. Whether you want to believe it or not, you have a purpose, you're not here just to be here and there is something that you are supposed to be doing for your Creator. Do you who that is? It's not your parents because who created them and it's not your grandparents because who created them? Honestly, this list will go on and on. It's too complicated to figure out. But, I just know that it's time to do me and not allow anyone or anything to stand in my way. With God's help, I GOT THIS! I'm nothing without Him anyway so why not allowing Him to take over and be in control while I just sit back and relax. Of course, I have work to do, but once my portion is over then it's up to Him and He doesn't fail. So, if you don't know it before IT'S YOUR TIME! IT'S TIME TO DO YOU! No matter what others seem to think of you. If you think you're not qualified, then it may be true but God does that qualifications.
