Bright Light amongst my darkness

I know that plans have been moved, adjusted and stopped but still I do not worry.
I do not squirm and fight,
Pout or Complain.
I remain firm in my faith and trust in Him.

Oh yes I have been tempted!
By the persons of my yesteryear, whose intentions aim to harm,
But God sent me friends and a silver lining to lift my spirits and encourage my soul.

Even when I am surrounded by doubt, from persons and events close to me
For some reason I find warmth and lightness in my heart , that radiates through my actions.

I have developed a concept today known as :" filter out the garbage". This refers to removing persons, things, thoughts and intentions that aim to burden, hurt or limit you in anyway. Rejuvenate and fill yourself with all that is good, hopeful endearing, beautiful, wise and everlasting.

Since my fast, I have received great enlightenment, understanding, blessings and joy. It is beyond words , the gifts I have received from following the instructions of the Lord on that Monday morning & I would never take it back.

Gettin' It Together

I've decided today to get myself together: for real.

Listening to a good friend of mine tell me of the items he has structured in his life for 3 months really inspired me. In fact, I was proud of him . He's a newlywed and recent father and has placed certain events such as toastmasters and exercising as a part of this weekly routine for a set time to reach an accomplished goal.

It made me want to do more, push more. REALLY work one establishing myself while increasing my value and self worth simultaneously.

I plan on meeting with a financial adviser who will guide me in managing my portfolio. I want to save, invest and know the market well enough to make a profit and be constantly aware.
I want to make smart choices and choose the right companies while building good relationships.

I want to manager my health and weight effectively. Be aware and understand my health entirely, have annual check ups and be on top. Construct a daily exercise and eating habit that will help me to tone and maintain my build and weight successfully.

I want to continue to grow in all aspects of my life: socially, intellectually, professionally, academically and most importantly spiritually.

I also want to grow in maturity, wisdom, acceptance, love and peace as a female, sister, wife, lover and friend.

I feel so great, so inspired and so driven to stay on this path ; no matter what comes my way.

Faced by the past

It feels good knowing that I was myself, my true self throughout this entire experience.
I have learnt how much I have grown and matured,
and also how little some persons haven't and may not.
I am proud that I took a chance,
and refuse to feel sorry for myself or feel weighed down by this experience.
I have learnt a great deal, and as I have noticed within the past few weeks.
I must learn to continue to hold my head high, stay strong and confident
no matter what is placed before me.
It is not what people say I am, but what God says.
I will not succumb to the wicked and evil plots of the devil.
This recent scheme came at a time I felt so proud, happy and confident in myself
and it was meant to blow out the light in my eye and my heart, but I will not allow it.

God , please continue to help me to withstand the pressures of a sinful unjust world.
Aid me in rebuking evil thoughts and succumbing to the whims of others.

Small Victories

I'm very much into celebrating small victories this year because every step in your journey counts.

Today I wrote the biography for Scharadl and he was very impressed. It got me very excited and eager about my future in writing and the beauty of the gift i possess. I want to share it and do it more often. I also saw an advert for beauty schools of America and may attend the enrollment seminars this weekend to study massage therapy. if i do this i would work from 11am - 6pm on weekends only. also i really want to apply to vtv and get my writing potential out there. i am considering working from home only and stopping in on weekends. I'm really loving this feeling i am having. it's hope.

AMAZING

Only one word can describe this feeling that I have: AMAZING!

God has fulfilled a promise given to me on the first day of my fast today, on my 27th birthday. One day away from a year ago when I fell down the stairs at my former workplace and missed 3 months of my life. Who knew that I would be able to walk, talk , even function at this time. I was told that my acct. with a long time person would be settled today and the money came true!! He stated it to occur on my birthday and it did! I kept faith and stayed encouraged with a great group of friends. I am growing stronger and stronger in my faith, accepting who I am , more confidence and so much more. I'm becoming a true believer and I love it. I am not scared or worried of the future. I want that my partner experience this feeling and more. Oh how I pray that he does! God is giving me a great team. I am more filled with joy and anticipation than ever before.

I have also become more accepting, patient and kind towards others and see my selfish ways die slowly but surely and replaced with a view of the bigger picture, selfishness and maturity.

I have also been given many opportunities with writing which I'm taking as a sign and I truly love it!
