so amazing

God is so amazing.  So are people.  I'm grateful for those I call friend.  I've been learning that actions will always speak louder then words.  Little things that people do will always mean more then what they say.  

I finally found a church that I could attend and feel good about it.  Since I've been in Texas, I've been going from church to church and it feels great to be attending the same church enough that the pastor recognizes you been there more then once.  Above and Beyond Fellowship is a great church.  Pastor Will Lindsay!  Yes his name is Will Lindsay.. quite interesting when I told ANQ Will Lindsay!  Anywho, this past month he's been doing a series on the seven deadly sins.  It continues to bless my life.  This past sunday his sermon really hit home.  He talked about sloth and basically said: no purpose no point.  That is a motto has been a part of my lifestyle for a while.  Helps to keep me from doing foolishness.

But what happens when you fall in love.  Yes that's right.  I feel in love.  It was a great time and a blessing from God to understand such a thing.  Everything that the God talks about in the bible about love is so true.  I also began to understand how much work it is but I don't have to worry about that because I'm single.  :)  I'm happy when I finally get to connect with the person God has for me, I will be able to understand the true essence of love and know that true love comes only from GOD!

God has opened so many doors in my life and answered so many question.  I've always wanted to know what it meant to be in love.  I would pray and ask God what is the deal with being in love.  He allowed it in his own special way and I am more then grateful.

Okay enough of that.

I'm thinking about starting a web show.... lol!  Looks like fun.  We'll see...

so much more I would like to write... I'll figure out how to put it in words.  ACTion > Words!  And since I'm such a visual person, doing is easier.  later reader

Dropping a line

Thought I would stop by to drop a line... say God loves you, so do I, and continue to walk in his will for you life.  HOLLA!

So I'm here pt. 4 - Refreshing pt.1

I never blog as much as I should.  I have a valid excuse this time.  I am building my Mary Kay business!!!  I never thought that would ever want to be a beauty consultant, but I love making people feel good about themselves.  Mary Kay has provided that avenue as well as extra cash. I was the top selling consultant this week and I've only been working my business for 2 weeks.

On my way home from my meeting, I was on the phone talking a my girl Rece as she make me realize that I need to stop looking for another job.  I teach dance and sell Mary Kay.  If I work my business full time, I know for a fact that I can be successful.  So I'm very happy that God is placing me where He wants me.  I never imagined doing this full time, but I love what I do.

I am setting up counseling this week for my dad and I.  He's working in dallas this week and makes this very hard to do.  I went to visit his sister (my auntie) over the weekend to see how she's been doing since the breast cancer surgery.  I walk in the door, and get the look.  I haven't seen my family since the incident and I don't know what they've heard and they wont ask either.  So I don't volunteer information, but when my cousin asked "So how are you doing?", I know what she is implying.   She wants me to go into details about what happened but it's not gonna help my situation nor help her life.  My family members are all about image.  So if they have to lie to keep that image looking good, they will.  I am not like that at ALL and I praise God for it!!!

This entire situation has allowed me to see where I am and it is not a bad place.  It's a place of transition, growth and molding.
I'm transitioning in my career, my lifestyle, and my dependencies. Making sure they all lead back to God and that I only depend on him.
Growth in my emotional self.  Since understanding why I could not access my emotions, they have opened up so much more.  The love I have and have shown, is growing.  The pain I feel so much more, but I know how to move on.
He's molding me and getting me ready for something HUGE!  I just need to be in the right place.  If you are reading this, know that he is doing the same with you, everyday.  Make sure you are paying attention and adhering to his voice.  He has such great plans for us and only wants us to be happy!  He would never create a will for our lives that does not fit who he has created us to be.

Thank you so much for reading along with this series.  The new series to follow will be Refreshing.   It will follow my journey through counseling with my dad.
anddd the random blogs will begin again.  It has been extremely important for me to get these things out.  Thank you again for the support and I pray what you've read touches you life in a positive and helpful way!

God Bless
