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…

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…

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;…

YOU ARE VALUABLE
Recently in life, I have been learning another lesson and that is knowing my value/worth. What do I mean? I have been learning what all I bring to the table in life and not allowing someone to walk over me or take advantage of me. I am learning to recognize my worth in every aspect of life. Why? Because in life, you find people who see your worth and try to find ways to diminish it or belittle it. They understand the power that your worth gives you and try to destroy it before you can recognize it or use it. But can I let you in on a secret? You are…

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…

Becoming the Best Version of You
Hi everyone!!! I am so excited to be sharing this incredible new part of my blog with you. Back in May 2017, I graduated from college and it was the happiest day of my life. However, with college ending, I found myself trying to understand who I am, what my purpose in life is and how do I fulfill my purpose. I know that I am not the only person who asked these questions, I started a journey and I am calling it Becoming the Best Version of You. In life, we, especially women, forget sometimes to take care of ourselves. If you are a mother or a wife, you are trying…
