Recently, I wrote this short little poem about what God means to me. I hope that you enjoy it and please comment below on what God means to you! God, the God of the universe means father. He protects me from seen and unseen danger. He takes my hand and holds it through the scary times of life. He holds me and carries me when I do not even know it. He help’s me choose good godly friends that will love and cherish me. God, the God of the universe means provider. When I am without He provides for me. Even when I am not worthy of it, He blesses me.…

Blessings and No Complaints!
I find that sometimes in life, I spend way too much time complaining than praising God for all the blessings He has given me. I complain so much that all the good seems to disappear and I am left with my sad depressing thoughts and feelings. It is so important that we remember what God has done for us. So I decided that I was going to stop complaining and start thanking God for all the blessings. Since we are in a new year, I wanted to start it off with 22 blessings ( and counting) God has given me that I am thankful for. Life Health Family Extended family Friends…

What 2018 Taught me: My top 5 lessons from 2018
And just like that, we are in a new year. I can’t believe that 2018 is over. I feel as though 2018 just started. However, the year is over and 2019 is here! I am so excited about this new year. New opportunities, challenges, learning experiences and so much more is possible in this new year. The new year provides us with an opportunity to ‘restart’ while at the same time grow from all the life lessons we experienced in 2018. I learned a lot in 2018 and want to share my top 5 lessons and what they taught me. 1. Strength is a mindset. This year taught me that…

2017, It’s a Wrap!
The year 2017 is over! This year flew by so fast! So many things happened this year that if I were to write about it I would need to start a blog (lol). As 2017 comes to a close and 2018 starts there are three important lessons that 2017 taught me that I want to share. Trust God. I don’t know how many times God has been trying to teach me the value of trusting Him and allowing Him to guide my life. God has given us promises in His word that tells us that He has plans to prosper us, that He will never leave us, that He will…

One Year Later… the Growth!
On December 6th, 2016 I big chopped my hair. After transitioning for a little more than a year, I decided to cut my hair. After I cut it, my hair took off and grew longer than it ever was when it was relaxed. Here are the four things that I believed helped my hair to grow. The first thing was NO HEAT! I do not put heat on my hair. The only time I did was when I graduated (back in May). Keeping heat off of my hair helped me not to heat damage it which helped my hair to grow. The second thing I did was protective styles. Whether my hair…

I Choose Me
The first step in becoming the Best Version of You is accepting who you are. When I started my journey of becoming the best version of me, I was at my breaking point. I didn’t like where I was in life and wanted a change. But, even though I was at my breaking point, it wasn’t until I chose the woman who I saw in the mirror and decided to love her at her current place in life that I was truly able to start my journey. What do I mean??? It is difficult to change something that you don’t like or love. Most of us want to make a change…

What Makes You Valuable
In my post You are Valuable, I shared the importance of knowing your value and worth and how you are valuable. But… if you are like me, you’ve probably asked the question, what makes me valuable? I will tell you! There are three areas that make you valuable; who’s your are, your personality and your heritage. Who’s are you? That’s a Great question. We are God’s children. In Genesis it tells us that we were created in the image of God, male and female He created them (Genesis 1:27). The Bible also tells us in 1 Peter 2:9 that we are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, and God’s special…

With God, I Can! Reprise
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…

Embrace Who You Are
Have you ever stared in a mirror and wished that you could be 5 years older? 30 lbs lighter? Or, just a better version of yourself? I know that I have spent many hours dreaming of a better version of me; a happier me, a smarter me, a healthier me, a successful me, etc. I use to (and still do sometimes) wish for the version of me where life is perfect. However, what I have come to realize is that before you can become the best version of yourself, you need to love the version of who you are now. You need to embrace the current you before you can become…

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;…
