Chapter: Power

Wear a uniform. Tuck in the shirt. Wear a belt. Never forget your name tag. Closed toe shoes only. Clock in and out on time. Talk to people with respect. Understand the mission. Understand that you have superiors. Listen to your boss. Don't show up late without a good reason. Don't call out sick if it isn't important. What if I am actually sick? It's about teamwork. Who is apart of the team?  Don't say things on social media. Don't post on social media. Don't talk about work outside of work. If you use your phone on the clock then you are in trouble. Greet your boss with a smile. Always carry yourself respectful outside of work. Don't hang around someone older than you, they don't have good intentions. This isn't a job but an investment. Then how come I only make minimum wage?  You work hard, then you will be rewarded. Don't be a bad seed. Don't have a vision because you aren't really important you are just a little man. Don't wor...

Chapter Unknown: My Hot-mess-ness

I am a struggling Christian with a struggling Lordship to a powerful God. I am a 22 year old woman, who is struggling to keep up with the daily grind. I am a daughter who tends to forget to be thankful. I am a struggling sister, who forgets to say I am proud of you. I am church member who forgets to tithe every Sunday. I am a loved girlfriend who forgets to be more appreciative of the little things. I am a struggling friend who breaks commitments at times. I am truly just a HOTMESS! I also am a daughter of Christ who is forgiven..... I want to be perfect in every area of my life, so that means I buy whiteboards to keep track with my weekly bible verses and weekly "to do list." I am the girl that buys two planners for a school year and plans everything out. I tend to spend more than I have because I need to do all things and be involved with everything. Sometimes I feel that when I confess with my mouth that I am broken maybe a week later I could get it together. Jokes on ...

Chapter 3: Just Because You Love Flowers, Doesn't Mean You Are a Gardener

Image
Becoming a planter and having a green thumb isn't something easy to do. I remember house sitting for a family last year. They said that there is a garden that I need to water twice a day, especially, the greens that they worked so hard. The commitment to house sitting that I strive to be was a very hands on learning experience. Every morning before the sun peaks, you need to water the plants or else the leaves on the vegetables would burn. To be honest, the first day I failed to water them by noon, and later on that evening the tips of the vegatable leaves were light - colored brown.... NO! NO! I didn't kill the plants but obviously I didn't water the garden correctly. Lesson learned. The next day I got it right. I watered the plants on time and so on and so on through the entire week. I did good. Food for thought [punny ] This reminds me of how Jesus tells a parable of the farmer sowing seeds. The way he places his seeds in the paths and on the rockys and on good so...

Chapter 2.5 : I think I can....

There's nothing greater than learning to ride a bike - now maybe graduating Highschool or college, meeting your soulmate, or putting on your onyx ring, or purchasing your first car, or owning your first home. Those things could be better than riding a bike but to a child. Learning to ride a bike is probably the most gratifying thing ever in this world. I was about 5 or 6 when I learned how to ride a bike. White bike with pink details on the front and the seat with those sparkly tassels on the ends. My bike also had training wheels. One on each side! I remember riding that bike like a pro! However, I mist give credit where credit is due, Thank God for training wheels, Amen! Without them my balance would have been completely off and riding down the sidewalk would be nearly impossible. That moment when you are extremely good (or decent in my case) at riding a bike with training wheels and when those things come off, instantly we graduate into big kid world. We can handle it! That...

Chapter Two: I am a Human Being

Image
I remember Junior year of Highschool deciding I wanted to run track. That's funny because I thought I was going to be a track star one day, I thought I had speed and I can keep up with all the other girls on the team. One day for practice, we had run 300 meter dash. (The only thing I truly enjoyed about track was running those corners/curves, boy you couldn't tell me I wasn't a true track star) in reality I was terrified of track, especially the meets, I was a hurdle jumper and the day of the meets I would have serve panic attacks and say I couldn't do it. However, as soon as I would hear the gun fire, I would take off running!  Now that I ran off on a tangent. Back to the hot day of track practice. Oh my, it had be 85 to 90 degrees outside that day. And well I decided to wear a hoodie and spandex for practice. I remember our coach was being intense on practice that day. Man, I wanted the coach to be proud! That wasn't the case. I remember running a 300 dash fo...

Chapter 1: Titleless Entry

I'm being awakend by Jesus, opening my eyes to the bigger picture that he is trying to show me, instead of the minuscule details. Or as author Anne Graham Lotz would put it : " There is one true, living God who created all things and who controls all things - a God who has chosen to reveal Himself to you and to me. We just need to wake up and open our eyes to Him."  What awesome and inspiring words that doesn't move me, but the details of the book and what it truly means to see God  is what helps my eyes be readjusted and opened to his glory and majesty.  That's why this page was a titleless entry. God provides the title to every adventure we face in life whether its something that makes you jump for joy or brings you to your knees with tears. He provides a title that leads to a ending that is predestined. You can chose to write lines or fill lines with the ones instructed by the creator of all things because he is good. Now do you see God  in the daily bur...

Game Over

Up. Down. Jump. Duck. Dodge. You know all those game systems that have all those buttons that can make a game do cool stuff like jump up or duck and tuck in roll! I remember being about 15 or 16 and. My big brother having that game "call of duty" playing that game. What a rush. Wanting to beat my brothers and have the best kill streak, over time the more I played the better I could memorize the buttons, the better I got, the higher my kill streak went.  I would go and show off how cool I was at it. I wish everyday can be like that. The way God can show off and be an amazing gamer and allow him to control over my life, telling me when to turn towards him, jump for worship and praise, dodge the evil that comes against me, and crawl on my knees for his mercy. What kinda of video game is that.  The type of game, where it shows that Jesus is in control over your life.  Proverbs 19:21 | "  Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of t...
