Be My Hands, Eyes and Brain!

I have my first 8-12 page paper to write! The most I've ever written was 6 pages, at most!

I've known about this paper at the beginning of the semester, but kept telling myself that "I have time" or "I'll start next week", but now The paper is due Wednesday, December 1st and I'm mostly still in the research phase! AHHHHHH!!

I keep procrastinating( ahem...blogging at this moment) to keep myself from having a meltdown!
And I still have a lot of planning to do, because this is a big paper and like all papers, you need a thesis to let the reader know which direction you're headed with the paper. So, I still have to narrow down the broad topic of 'Fredrick Douglass' into a part in his life that I can focus on!

I had to say a quick prayer asking God to be my hands, eyes and brain to help me get through this paper. I know once I get started it will seem easier, but for me, getting started on a paper is always the hardest part!
So If you don't see any blog updates until after Dec. 1st, you know why!!

God Bless!

God's Word!

Matthew 6:13 (KJV)
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you".

I am in love with this verse! So much so, that I've made it my motto for the upcoming new year!

I love it so much because I believe it's so true. I've had people from church tell me that when you turn your attention to Jesus, he'll allow everything to fall into place - what's meant to be yours will be yours when you seek Him first. I definitely believe that because, I've noticed that when I'm in tune with His spirit, I'm worry-free and at peace - things just seem to flow into place!

From this day on, I'm putting Jesus first and I'm gonna let Him provide my education, my career, my home, my husband, my children and everything else he has for me!

Hey And Welcome!

I'm just welcoming the new readers and 'subscribers'. I hope you guys enjoy what you see here. As I share my stories, feel free to tell your thoughts and reactions. :)

Getting Back On Track!

I remember sometime before the school semester began, I posted about having a personal bible study. However, when school started I kept putting it off to the point that I completed forgot about it.
Although school's not yet finished, I still want to at least try and continue my little bible study.

God's word is so powerful! It teaches everything we need to know about being 'good Christians' and living for God the right way! It's very important to take some time everyday to read the Bible!

Week Of Thanksgiving Services!

This entire week, from Sunday November 14th to today Saturday the 20th, my church held it's annual Thanksgiving Services.

It was a complete blessing! God sent some annointed preachers! It was just great and I fully enjoyed every night.

Just A Slap On The Wrist?

We all mess up. Christians, non-believers, those on the fence -- no matter where we are in our relationship with God, we, at some point or another, disappoint Him as well as ourselves.

I sometimes seem to got through cycles where I would slip up, give myself a slap on the wrist and pray a forgiveness prayer. Then a few weeks or months later, the whole thing happens again.
I get frustrated with myself, so I can't imagine how God feels.

I have realized that 'a slap on the wrist' isn't good enough. I need to stop telling myself that I need to grow closer to God and actually do it: get into some serious fasting and prayer to press thought the struggles, temptations and trials.

As long as we live on earth we will stumble and sometimes fall. However, God gives us the strength to get up and walk over the obstacles in our way instead of tripping over them again and again.
We need to get serious about our walk with God --a slap on the wrist, just isn't gonna cut it.

~God Bless! :)
