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…

God, I Will Wait.
God, I will wait until You give me him. A man after Your own heart. A man who fears You and walks with You daily. A man who seeks after You and chase You. A man that will trust and surrender to You. God, a man that has the faith like Abraham, leadership like Moses, wisdom like Solomon, a kind heart like Boaz, a story like Paul, a man who is obedient like Noah and loves like Christ. God, I will wait for a man who will pray for me and with me. A man who will fast and pray for me and with me. Someone who will study the word of…

What’s Next???
In the blog post, The Gift of Patience, I mentioned that God was preparing me for the next. So, what is the next? I’ll tell you! After a summer of waiting on God, sleeping, relaxing, working out, semi-studying for tests and holistic growth, God decided on July 30th to give me the next and I can honestly say that it was a miracle. On July 30th, 2017, I found a job posting at a local university for an adjunct biology lab instructor. I looked at the requirements and saw all I needed was a bachelor’s in biology or biological science and I applied to the job. The next day, I…

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.…
