Anywho, this is the 6th month of the year and time has flown. We are almost half-way through the year already and it seems as if 2011 just started. After six months of blogging, I can say that I am proud of myself. I may not know all of the ins & outs of blogging, but it is something that I've wanted to do and have done. I haven't posted as much as I would like, but something is better than nothing. I'm currently in the process of trying to see exactly where God wants to take me and this blog. It gives me a chance to express myself further than my facebook statuses will allow....lol. Even with them, alot of people look over "my" statuses when they see how "lengthy" they are. Why? I don't know...maybe its because they don't like to hear what "I" personally have to say, maybe its just that they are lazy and don't want to read, or maybe I'm not talking about anything that tickles their fancy so they say to HELL with me & my stats...lmbo! Regardless, I thank God for how he uses me, my words, and thoughts through social networks such as facebook. If I help just ONE, then I've accomplished alot, and that is my sole purpose. Yet even with my words that people overlook, a blessing is coming out of it.....stay tuned!
My healthy hair challenge that I started on May 1, 2011 has come to an end! The past 30+ days have been awesome. I went from having 20+ participants down to 13....and that is A-OK with me! We have shared our thoughts, tips, advice, encouragement, and more with eachother and I'm grateful for the experience. It has been such a great success that they want to continue on, so we will certainly do that. I begin a new job in a week or so working with the youth in my community through a non-profit organization, at which I am very honored. This has been an area that I've wanted to work in for a while, so I pray to do my very best with it and I know that God will open doors from this if it be his will. Its been a long time, but its now time to get off my hind part and do some things & get the ball rolling both in my community & ministry within my church.
For the past few days, I've been doing alot of thinking. I've had mixed emotions. I've felt empty, joyful, sad, lonely, content, calm, happy, etc. I know a "shift" is about to take place in my life. I've always been the type of person to not necessarily be "afraid" of the unknown, but I've been "iffy" about it. I know that life is full of the unknown and that I have to be uncomfortable sometimes. But even through that, God has a blessing with my name on it and before I receive that blessing, I want to make sure that I worked for and deserve it. I am certainly FAVORED, but God deserves so much more than a little 'thank you' every now and then.
So all in all, that's been up with me. Nothing much to really share right now. I've just been "cooling it" as the young folk say...hahaha! Its time for me to give more of myself to God and others. I've been a bit selfish lately in my prayers, always asking God to do things for me...me...me, and not realizing that I haven't been praying for others as I should. It is so NOT about me, and I must do better. Whether it is overcoming fears, nervousness, laziness, or just the unknown...I know I have a greater purpose and the enemy's job is to put fear in us. But he is a liar in the name of Jesus!!!!!!! Stay tuned for more!!!
