What Does God Have in Store for You?

That's a good question.

I just got word that I have been a named as a recipient of a major scholarship to study abroad.
My jaw dropped because I knew that we were supposed to be notified by early June, and I hadn't received any notification and today is the 7th.

God is so good.

This process has been an arduous one.
There have been many hurdles along the way but I was able to clear everyone of them with His help.
He is awesome, and I know he has an awesome plan for my life.
How did the grandchild of sharecroppers and paupers make it this far?
Only with his help. The way things have fallen into place in my life has caused me to believe without a shadow of doubt, that God is the creator and maker. He is the ONE. Period.
I feel Him calling me to be and do more. My life cannot, willnot be mediocre. My desire is not for fortune or fame, but it is instead to fulfill my purpose during my short time on this planet.

"And when the stars were aligned, a child was conceived.
She was the last of their sons and daughters.
The least of her brothers and sisters, but was destined to be the greatest.
She would lead them to salvation, and the promised land.
She would show them the way to Life.
She rests her head on the clouds, and clasps her trousers with Orion's belt.
The Milky Way quenches her thirst, and she plays hopscotch with the planets.
The Father's lullabies serenade her as she drifts off to sleep.
They meet in her dreams. =) "

Change ISN"T Inevitable

How do you become something more; something better than just YOU?

How do you change your Character? Your Dreams? Your Destiny?

Is destiny really inevitable? Can a person achieve it with only a passive response to life?

I'm standing in the place, where I'm caught between who I am, and what I could
should be.

Finding comfort only in the familiar pain of my past. It never changes. There are no surprises.

So here I am.
Stagnant.
Because change is foreign, and uncomfortable. It is the prick of a vaccinating needle. It sears my soul like truth. How do become this beautiful woman, the person I know am destined to be?

I sit and let my emotions wash away like sand on the shores. Only to be deposited on some distant land. Or maybe to be trapped in clam to become a magnificent pearl.

Facing yourself seems to be the most difficult task that God asks us to undertake.

But here I am standing infront of His Mirror of Truth.
Naked.
Ready to meet the real me.

Hello my dear. I've missed you.
