The year is half over, crazy huh? I know, time is ticking so whatever you did not finish early this year, make sure you finish before the year ends! I should talk, it takes me forever to start and finish but I plan to finish stuff this year. Poems, books, etc!
Today was such an amazing day. I reconnected with a friend that I met last year during a program. She has been such a blessing to me and is always encouraging me to be a better person, and she always looks out for me. We hang out as often as time and schedules permit, however, life happens and we get really busy so often times we forget to spend quality time with good quality friends.
Than after that awesome meeting I met up with another old friend and we chatted for a couple hours about life and everything about it! I love the friends I have. I AM BLESSED!!! Yes I have a right to scream it lol
We spent a couple hours chatting about life, love, education, passions, and we talked about my future, where things are going, my plans, goals, ambitions, and what I hope to achieve the rest of the year. We are in month seven. July 2011, can you believe how fast time has flown?
We went from being babies, enjoying childhood, having crushes, playing in the sand, dirt, spilling on our church dresses, moving around, making jokes, etc, to paying bills, having kids, not know where life will take you but still taking risks that can either take you farther or put you back a step, moving to a new city, starting over, getting married! Wow, this is life and though we have many ups and downs, we must count our blessings and thank God for the amazing things he has done! I am so blessed I'm speechless, I could cry. I have a very small business but it has done so much for me. I braid hair, and am planning to expand to more than just braiding singles. Though I do not have a salaried income, God has told people to come to me. In ways I never thought he would. He is telling me what I am good at, what makes me smile, and to never ever worry because he always has my back! How can I complain? I have no right! I have parents that love me, siblings that look out for me, friends that care enough to msg me even if its once a year, I have gone through so much, mentally, emotionally, financially, things have not been easy at all...I am in a better place, just had to open my eyes and see God was working in my life. My personal life is always a hard spot to talk about, but it is always something to work on. Yes, I am single, and yes there is a person of interest, but my struggle with love has always been, what can I offer him? And what can he offer me? Well, I hope I am able to offer something great because I know that I am a pretty cool person to hang out with! But, if God decides that this guy is right for me, than he will show me. But I have a pretty good feeling about it, but will pray, and keep being open, and see what God does.
I am a passionate person. I put my all into something, and the past year God has been rewarding me I just did not know. Silly me right? lol
I am dedicated. When I put my mind to something, I get it done, it takes time, support, and of course there is a process to getting things accomplished, but I make it happen, and if it is not meant to be, than I try something else. Life is full of endless opportunities.
I don't give up very easy but I do fall. Who doesn't, we are human and can only do so much.
I believe in commitment, My parents have been married for 30 years next year, and they have displayed an incredible amount of love, I have no words, They have shown love, honesty, they have struggled in every aspect, but they have stuck to the vows they said in front of God since day one, and I love them for that. Not giving up, and the faith they have in God is amazing. God has seen us through so much, that even on days when you think, "it's not going to happen," God turns it around ten seconds before we want to give up and the miracle we prayed for is there. It is never our time, but God's time!
My faith in God grows every day, and I know right now my biggest struggle is getting back into school. I need your prayers, faith, constant pushing and motivation to make it happen. Please do not give up on me, for it takes a village to raise a child! I am young and still have so much growing and learning to do, but it will not happen without you. Yes, my readers, followers, friends, family, I won't make it without you!
Education is important and in this day and age it is hard to get jobs without such and I am a firm believer in learning, but I am also a firm believer that one should work in a job that they love, and not do something mediocre and be unhappy. I love writing, blogging, and my book is going to happen. I plan to put my name out there and let people know who I am, and what I do, and what I do is help people look beautiful, think smart, and to never give up on what they believe in.
I hope you do not give up, but also do not turn your backs on those that have a hard time going forth. We can't all know at 16 what we want to do, or have the financial means by the time we are 25 to make the rest of our dreams come true, but we can keep pushing, going forth, and always trust in God that he will see us through.
I love you all for your support, and hope you will keep checking in! I took time off to write because I would rather share my good days and blessings with you than bring you down on my sad days.
God is good, all the time, all the time God is good!
