I Wonder...

There are times I sit and wonder what my life would have been like if I would have made different or better choices earlier in my life. I wonder if I should have done better in high school, if I should have gone off to college instead of staying home, I wonder if I should have pursued jobs in other states, I wonder if I chose the correct major for graduate school...the list can go on and one. Honestly, I try not to dwell on the what if's. I know that where I am now, is where I am now and the only way that I'll be able to move forward is if I just focus on the future and make the right choices.

I'll be 35 years old this year and I'm learning daily that life is all about what you make it. I'm choosing to make my life enjoyable, memorable and pleasing to God over everything else. I know that God has His hands on my life...it is His desire that whatever I do in this life, it'll bring Him glory. It is not for my own glorification but for His. Proverbs 3:5&6 states that I am to "trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths". That just confirms that He has my best interest at heart. He wants what is best for me. Yes, we all make choices and we will make mistakes but once the "light bulb" comes on that God wants nothing but the best for me/us, all of that wondering can be put to rest.

I'm learning that when I start wondering about different things, to either write it down or open my laptop and start researching. I've asked God to give me dreams and to help me to become a better thinker, mainly because I know that there is so much in me that I haven't even tapped into yet. I know that there is so much inside of me that others haven't seen as well. I don't want what He has put inside of me to go to waste with just my thoughts...I'm going to stop wondering and start putting "life" into those thoughts and dreams.

If I'm thinking about it and dreaming about it, then guess what? I need to put those thoughts and dreams into action. I want God to lead and guide me. I want Him to give me great ideas. I want Him to trust me enough to get whatever it is done. He gave it to me, I owe it to Him to get it done.

What God has given me or you, is what we are to do. It's not for anyone else to do...it's our assignment.

Praise Your Own Pond!

Who are you praising? I'm a firm believer that you praise individuals who are deserving and who earn the praises. Praise is defined as the act of expressing approval or admiration. Everyone likes to be praised for the good things they accomplish. Whether it's a child that did good on a report card, a teen passing their driving test, that man proposing to his girlfriend, a marriage, graduation...I can go on an on. All of these things listed are worth praises. Do we praise people for the "good" that they do or do we sit and spew hate or negativity towards them? There's a saying that states, "It's a poor frog who doesn't praise its own pond", I agree. Why wouldn't you praise yourself for your own accomplishments? If you can't praise yourself for the "little" or "big" things that mean a lot to you, that means you can't genuinely praise anyone else for theirs. You have to start with yourself first. Even if it's a ...

Shake it like a Polaroid Picture

Last Christmas I was gifted with a Polaroid Camera that I requested. I use to admire the Polaroid Camera's when I was a kid; I never had one but I always wanted one. To finally have my own personal Polaroid, it was nostalgia. I started making plans for all of the candid pictures I would take with my new camera and since it was Christmas, I was looking forward to all of the instant pictures I would have on that day. I have used my Polaroid a lot since Christmas; I even had to get more film. The best part of having my Polaroid Camera is watching the picture come out and watching it develop right before my eyes. The anticipation of what the picture is going to look like; is it too dark, too light or did it develop just right? Making sure the camera's settings are correct before taking the pictures make a big difference. Sometimes the pictures can develop too dark or too light; both make it hard to see the image. Having messed up a lot of pictures due to the wrong setting can be ...

"Easy[Like Sunday Morning]"

I've been thinking about this song a lot lately and wondering what was Lionel Richie thinking when he penned this tune. Did Lionel Richie attend church on Sunday mornings?! Some of my Sunday morning's aren't easy at all. Lol! They are filled with trying to decide what to wear to church, how I'm going to do my hair, how my hair is going to turn out, if I'm going to like how I'm going to even look for church, do I want to attend the 8am or 11am service, etc.  Although some of my Sunday mornings aren't "easy", I don't allow the uneasiness to hinder me from attending church. The bible says in Hebrews 10:25 for Believers (Christians) to not skip church services and to encourage other Believers to attend church services as well. We are to surround ourselves with one another because we can uplift and empower each other. We get our teachings and motivations from listening to God's Word; listening to and applying His Word not only makes our Sunday...
