Back in June, I wrote a blog post With God, I Can! In this post, I talked about how I was frozen in life from fear and how I didn’t think I could move forward in life. I then talked about how God was thawing my fear, with His love and promises and how I realized that with God I am capable of seeing past my fear and seeing life with God leading me. When I wrote this post, it was more of a prayer than a testimony; I was still frozen by my fear when I sat down and penned it. Honestly, I was writing this to me; I was writing something…

Leaving the Comfort zone
I do not like to do anything that may seem crazy, dangerous, adventurous or scary to me. I like to live life safe and in my comfort zone. I enjoy my comfort zone and never do I ever plan to leave it. However, even though my comfort zone is great it hinders me. I am learning that while I am in my comfort zone that I keep myself from growing. I am guessing that you need me to explain this? Here it goes. When you think of a comfort zone, you think of somewhere that is safe, somewhere that keeps harm and danger away. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a comfort zone is;…

The Wait.
I have talked about the gift of patience and being patient because God has you. So. . . what do you do during the wait? That is a great question. What do you do while God prepares you for the next? You pray and study the Bible. Why?? It is during the waiting season that God wants to prepare you. How do I know this? Life. I have been in the waiting season for a while. There have been some prayers that I have prayed that God has not answered or He said just wait. There has been some goals and dreams in life that I have been chasing and God…

Be Patient, God Got You
Patience. I have learned so much about patience recently that I’m going to talk about it a little more. Patience, according to the Dictionary it is “the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.” * Basically it is waiting without getting upset. This sounds easy for some things but it is actually hard when you really want something. It is extremely hard to have patience in a fast-moving world. We live in a give me society; no one waits or has patience’s anymore, everyone wants everything right away. If a fast food place takes longer than 10 minutes (this could actually be too…

The Gift of Patieince
I am not the most patient person. If I think I can accomplish something sooner than someone else, I tend to go behind the other person’s back and do the task (this is a very bad habit that I am working on breaking). I do not like to wait for people, I hate slow drivers because it takes twice as long to get somewhere and I hate, I absolutely hate waiting for what is next in life. Let me explain what I mean; I am a planner. Since I was 8 years old I have had a good idea of how my life was going to work out. However, since graduating…

The Extra Mile.
As a child I hated doing extra work. There was a neighbor who was elderly and had a long drive. My mother would tell me that when I was done shoveling our driveway to go and shovel our neighbor’s. She did not pay me for shoveling which would make me more upset. My mother told me that whenever I had the opportunity to help someone else that I should do it with a smile on my face. Mad and cold, I would shovel the neighbor’s driveway. However, the more I did it the easier it was to do nice things for people or go the extra mile. The idea of…

To The Guy Who Makes Me Smile
To the guy who makes me smile, Anytime that I think about you, I smile. Someone could just mention your name and I smile. It is funny how much of an effect that you have on me. There are times when I am just down but you know how to lift my spirit’s up. You know how to say the perfect something when I am upset and how to comfort me when I’m sad. Whenever I need something, you always know how to provide it. I love it when you just decide to give me gifts, they make me smile even harder. Our late night and early morning conversations always…

When God Breaks You
“God cannot grow you if you are not willing to be broken.” I mentioned in one of my post that God broke me. So how did He break me? This past school year at Oakwood University (OU), I was the Chaplin of Voices of Triumph Gospel Choir (VOT). Honestly, I never really wanted to be Chaplin, I just wanted to be on the board of the choir. Originally I was planning on running for outreach coordinator however, God had other plans for me. Instead of being outreach coordinator I became the Chaplin. During that summer break, I started planning for the semester and figured that being Chaplin would be easy.…
