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…

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…

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.

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.
