NO TITLE......

I don't have that much to ramble about, but I just want to say THANK YOU LORD! As I say that, tears come to my eyes because he's been SO SO SOOOOO good to me & mine. Even through my shortcomings, when I fall, when I don't praise him, when I don't read & pray as I should, when I don't witness to others, and when I don't feel like acknowledging him, HE STILL FAVORS ME! I just don't get it. Without God I'm nothing, yet and still he calls me FRIEND! That overwhelms me as the song says, lol. Even now, thoughts from today's events are racing through my mind. I don't understand why some things happened the way they did, and I don't even understand why I feel the way I do, but I BLESS and TRUST God through it all! He is awesome and I'll never, ever be able to repay him for what he's done. I believe he's going to work out each and every situation I'm facing, seen and unseen. I've never been through a storm that didn't pass over, and I know he's an ON TIME God! Help me to be patient & have nothing but praise in my mouth Lord! He's going to stir up the gifts and provide what is needed. I appreciate God for what he's done, is doing, and will do. I can't thank him enough. No matter how hard I may try to leave, he's still there ready to accept me back with open arms. He's WORTHY of our praise. He's worthy of ALL GLORY and HONOR! I just pray that God continues to show me the error of my ways so that I may correct them in time. I just want to be real, raw, & relevant so that he can be pleased with my service. I just simply wanted to bless the Lord with a few words.

Thanks for reading :-)

Early Morning Chat

When a relationship's time is UP....its just that.....UP! There are many people that I've come into contact with whom I "thought" I had an awesome connection with, but as time progressed, I began to see that they weren't FOR me. Not saying they did anything wrong, but some people are only meant to be in your life for a reason & maybe ONE season! Regardless of how they may appear on the outside, its what's in their heart that matters. Some people put on a really good show, but their hearts aren't right! Don't be fooled by what you "see". Just because things are going right at first doesn't mean it will last. That's why its so important to seek God FIRST before forming bonds in relationships and friendships. But ohhhh I thank God for those that chose to leave my life because he certainly knows whats best for me! God will sometimes allow people to swing on by to teach us a lesson & to show us who they "really" are. I'm sure some people may feel the same way about me, and that's fine because they are entitled to their own opinion just as I am. But we have to just roll with the punches of life & accept the fact that every relationship isn't for our good! When I get certain "feelings" about people, they are typically correct (discernment). I read somewhere today that this season we are in is all about relationships, and I truly believe that because alot of people have shown me who they truly are! We must learn to just LET FOLKS GO & let the chips fall where they may! Just because a person may be good to one doesn't mean that they are good for YOU!*just thoughts* ~♥ Nina

Fight like a GIRL! (Breast Cancer Awareness)

I could not let October pass by without sharing just a few things about Breast Cancer. Though there are many cancers out there that everyone should be aware of, Breast Cancer is the 2nd most common type of "deathly" cancer among women & awareness of this should definitely be raised. Here is a bit of information about breast cancer that is WORTH reading:

What is Breast Cancer? Breast cancer is a tumor (a mass of abnormal tissue) within the breast. The majority of breast cancers begin in the milk ducts, however a small number start in the milk sacs or the lobes. Like other cancers, breast cancer if unchecked also has the ability to spread to different areas. The spread occurs mainly via the lymph ducts.

Who is at risk? Breast cancer is far more common in women than in men although men can also get breast cancer. Some women are at a particularly higher risk.

• Age-risk of breast cancer increases with age.
• Family history of breast cancer i.e. women whose mother, grandmothers, aunts or sisters have developed breast cancer, are at an increased risk.
• Women, who previously had breast cancer, have a slightly higher chance of having breast cancer in the other breast.
• Women who started their periods (menarche) at an earlier age (before 12 years).
• Delayed childbearing, women who did not breast-feed their infants, or those who never had children.
• Late menopause (after 50 years)
• Obesity
• Diet rich in animal fat.

It is important to mention here that even if several risk factors are present, if does not necessarily mean that cancer will develop in these cases. It is equally important to mention that 75% of women who develop breast cancer have no known risk factors.

What are the signs and symptoms of Breast Cancer? In a majority of women breast cancer is first noticed as a lump in the breast. There are other important signs and symptoms.

• Discharge from the nipple, particularly if blood stained.
• Change in shape or size of breast.
• Change in appearance of skin in a part of the breast.
• Rash on the nipples or surrounding areas.
• A lump or thickening inside the breast tissue.
• Inversion or turning in of the nipple.
• Swelling on the upper arm
• Swelling in the armpit

How can Breast Cancer be diagnosed?

Being in an area, which is easily accessible, the importance of early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer cannot be over-emphasized. Early detection and treatment can provide an almost 100% cure.

• Breast Self Examination (BSE) is important as it helps the patient to detect any changes occurring in her breast by herself. All women should be taught how to do a breast self-examination. However it is reassuring to note that all lumps in the breast are not cancerous, though one must check out with the doctor, when a lump is suspected.
• A Mammogram is an X-ray of the breast using a specially designed machine and is very useful in early diagnosis.
• Besides BSE every woman over 40 years must have Physical Examination of the breast done by a doctor, as part of the annual check up program.

Following a clinical examination a Biopsy is the only definite way of confirming or ruling out breast cancer in suspected cases. A piece of breast tissue is taken for testing; this can be done by inserting a needle into the Breast (FNAC-fine needle aspiration cytology), or by an operation under local or general anesthesia. A pathologist then examines the breast tissue under the microscope to check for cancer cells.

Below is a picture of how to do a 

Self-Breast Examination:

Breast cancer is 100% curable/treatable only IF it is found in the beginning stages! Ladies (and men), let's do self examinations & get wellness checkups frequently! Warning does come before destruction (I'm taking my own advice, lol!), and God wants us to LIVE! My prayer is that all women (and men) & their families who are currently battling this cancer will have peace, strength, and comfort during this time. I also pray that a cure will be found one day. I bless God & believe that thousands will be healed in the 

MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS.....AMEN :-)

I love this! I think its cute & it definitely grabs your attention! It is simply saying FEEL YOUR BREASTS for lumps & any other abnormalities!

Thanks for reading! Pass the information... 

PASS THE TEST!

You know, the enemy wants to take God's children out realllllllly bad! Many of us are giving in & giving him the satisfaction. Some of the things we go through are indeed self inflicted, some of the things we go through are tests from God, and of course, some of the things we go through come strictly from the enemy himself. Regardless of the matter, PASS THE TEST! God is calling us to OBEDIENCE! We cannot and will not enter into the kingdom of heaven based off of "good deeds" alone, for we have to live righteously according to God's will and plan for our lives. Trials and tribulations only come to make us STRONGer and they shouldn't tear us down to shreds. God didn't design for us to be defeated, but all VICTORY is found in him! Yes, God allows some things to happen in our lives that seem unbearable, but its only because he is building our character and actually showing us that he loves us just as a mother/father would to their child when they have done wrong. God will allow that car that he said we didn't need anyways, but still got it out of disobedience, to be taken away or even wrecked, he will take that boyfriend/girlfriend away from us that we felt we'd never live without because we gave them more time than him (for he is a jealous God), and he will allow the enemy to shake and stir us up in order to see where our faith truly lies.....but we still have the ability to PASS THE TEST! 

We pass our tests by facing the matters at hand and never leaving God's side, no matter how difficult the situations and circumstances "appear" to be. We pass our tests by trusting in God to see us through every problem, even the ones we've gotten ourselves into, and we pass our tests by learning from them & using them for God's glory! God loves us & wants us to prosper in every way. Stop moping around sad, angry, depressed, jealous, and bitter! Take your situations and fight light a champ. You don't have time to sit around and wait on your change to come (so to say), because you still have work to do. Even in the midst of difficult times in your life, you have to bless & praise God in season and out of season. Through your tears, BLESS GOD, through your pain, BLESS GOD, through your hurt and confusion, BLESS GOD! He will work it out. Be obedient to his will, be mindful of the things you say and do, and see things with your spiritual instead of natural eyes and spirit. Tests come to make us stronger....now will you pass yours or flunk out?

Thanks for reading!

Don't give up on God because he won't & hasn't given up on YOU! Pass the test with flying colors and watch God continue to work it all out for you! Be obedient to him, remain in him, and continue to serve and work through him. He loves you & so do I...please don't leave his side! God bless you!

[INTO THE ATMOSHPERE]

How are you doing in the challenge? Are you being obedient to God & seeking him in all areas of your life? Are you verbally speaking those things that are currently not as if they were already so? When you speak them, are you believing that they will come to pass and that God will deliver? If not, that's okay! If you have been but are currently slacking, then that's okay too! We just have to pick ourselves up where we fell & keep going strong. So I challenge you to keep your faith even if circumstances don't show themselves favorable right now. You gotta see it, before you see it, or you never will see it! *think about it*

As for me, I've been doing pretty good. The majority of my challenge will probably be done via facebook, but I will periodically update everyone with my [INTO THE ATMOSPHERE] declarations collectively. So far, this is what I've been speaking & believe God to do. Please share what you've been speaking lately if you desire! If not, keep going strong & stay focused. We have a mission to accomplish with our MOUTHS! AMEN! :-)

[INTO THE ATMOSPHERE] 
My nieces, nephews, & little cousins will be somebody great! They will accomplish all of their goals, be respectful, caring, & loving, and they will be successful in everything they do. They will be leaders in high places, and will be great role models and examples to all they come into contact with. They will their lives fully & make great decisions, always putting God first! IT IS SO!

[INTO THE ATMOSPHERE] 
 Every person that sincerely seeks after the heart of God and desires to do & obey his will daily will be blessed with more blessings than they can stand! No devil in hell can touch them! IT IS SO!

[INTO THE ATMOSPHERE]
One of a few houses that I will OWN! IT IS SO!
