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…

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…

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…

Peace in the Storm.
Being a college graduate and not going directly to graduate school is stressful and overwhelming. As a college graduate, I need to find a job, apply and get into graduate school, I have a knee injury that I am dealing with, not to mention the unending questions of what is next is exhausting. At the moment I am studying for the GRE and MCAT which is extremely stressful. I also find myself stressing over the fact that I don’t have a job and not going to school in August. Sometimes I feel as though I am in an unending storm. My storm consist of studying, applications for grad school and jobs,…
