20 REASONS BEING SINGLE TOTALLY ROCKS!! A year and half ago, I thought I would be the last person to write a blog about how being single TOTALLY ROCKS, I was more likely to write a piece on why being single TOTALLY SUCKS! Lol (let’s take a minute to thank God for change). I was just dead hot up to be married and have some babies, don’t get me wrong there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting these things, but we must remember there is a season for everything and if we spend so much time rushing through some of the key seasons of our lives we will miss a whole lot of lessons and some amazing experiences.    A little over a year ago I decided to take Andy Stanley’s year challenge; the Year challenge dares singles that have been dating their way and making selfish decisions throughout their previous relationships to take a YEAR off from dating, to learn how to really love God, love themselves and to eventually learn to date God’s way. At the beginning of Decem...

As I sit on this balcony overlooking the water, I think back to how faithful God has really been. “I’m not where I need to be, but I’m definitely not where I use to be!” God I just want to take a minute to bask in your awesomeness, your faithfulness and your unconditional love, you blessed me with 29 unforgettable years on this earth and I praise you for your grace and favor. 28 taught me a lot of really hard lessons; it was a year of pure growth.   It was also a year that really grew my faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and not seen. On my Birthday Food tour, my bestie (well   one of, we’re a tripod just so you know lol) , but yeah like I was saying one of my besties asked “What are 3 things you hope to do before you turn 30?”.  I started to list some things that were already in motion and she quickly said they didn’t count. I’m thinking if I can’t even see how a certain thing could happen, I don’t know if I want to put it on my list. In my h...

Are you in Love? Or are you really ready for Love? I remember at the beginning of my senior year of high school, I met my first serious boyfriend and in one of our first conversations he asked if I had ever been in love before. I replied “OF COURSE not! Do you know what being in love really means?”   Boy did he sure open up a can of worms when he said to tell him. I took out my bible and began to recite 1 st Corinthians 4- 13. Riddling off each verse as if I truly understood what these words meant. As I sit here as a 28 year old and over 12 years later, I now realize how insightful, yet so clueless I truly was. Although I could recite the scriptures, I really didn’t know what it meant to love like the list below; this list makes you ask the question; Am I really ready for Love? 1 st Corinthians 13 says…    Love is Patient –every time you ask your partner to do something on your personal time frame you’re not showing love; so guys when you ask your lady for sex...

                Often when we think of goodness or someone who is good to us we think of people who praise us, buy us things, do things for us, something similar to kindness, we want to feel as if we benefited in some way. An often times when these things are done we tend to brag on the person and say this person is so “good” to me. However I have been blessed me with people in my life who have also been “good” to me in a different kind of way.                 One of the things I love to do is host public events, host on the radio and even host TV shows. So one of the first times I had the opportunity to host a show on the radio I got so excited.  I blasted the message on Facebook and I set up the radio before I left home so my mom and entire family could listen to me. I got on the show and the vibe and energy was just ...

New Year's  Resolution – Kill 'em with Kindness As I sit and reflect on the last few days of 2013, I am beginning to pray about the things I feel God is leading me to do in 2014. 2013 was a year for growth and change and I believe that 2014 will be a year of harvest and blessing. If you read my first entry in August you will see that one of the things I lacked the last time God blessed me with a season of harvest and blessing was humility. Like I've mentioned before I struggled with selfishness for a long time, so I wanted to make a promise to God to always remain humble and to always find a way to be a blessing to others, especially during a season of harvest.  I have realized that God has blessed me in so many ways and has taught me a lot of things.  Therefore learning how to truly exercise the fruit of the spirit kindness is definitely a goal of mine for 2014. One of the things that inspired this change was watching others give so much of th...
