"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it."

He Saw The Best In Me ♥

Hello lovies!! How's your day been? How's your month and year been? I am so blessed to have wonderful listeners in you, my dear readers. I hope today was blessed.

Today, I was thinking of how exactly I could describe the blessings I have found in today, in this month, in this year and speak to all things in one blog post lol. Instead of writing a five hundred thousand page blog, Ill let this wonderful song speak to the gist of it. I hope you enjoy!!!



He saw the best in me,
When everyone else around
Could only see the worst in me,

(Can I tell ya'll one more time, one more time?)

I said he saw the best in me,
When everyone else around
Could only see the worst in me,
(I wish I had a witness tonight, all I need is one)
Heyyy,

[Choir:]
He saw the best in me,
(When everyone else around me)
When everyone else around (OOOOh)
(Could only see)
Could only see the worst in me,

(Does anybody have that testimony? When folk walks you off, Said you would never make it, what did he see?)

He saw the best in me,
(When everyone else around you yeaaaa)
When everyone else around,
(OOOOOH, Could Only)
Could only see the worst in me,

(Can I tell ya'll one more thing? I just need to tell you one more thing)

(Listen to this)

See he's mine, and I am his,
It doesn't matter what I did,
He only sees me, for who I am,
(Does anybody know that today?)
OH OHH
See he's mine, and I am his,
It doesn't matter what I did,
See he only sees me for who I AM!
(HELP ME SING IT,)

[Choir:]
(Said that He is mine)
See he's mine,
(I'm his)
And I am his,
(Said it doesn't matter, what I did)
It doesn't matter what I did,
(He only sees me for who I) (Yea Yea)
He only sees me, for who I am,
Yeaaa, Yeaaa, Yea, Yea, Yeaaaaa Yea, Yea, YeaaAAA

He's mine,
(I am his)
And I'm his
(It doesn't matter what I did)
It doesn't matter what I did,
(Cause he only sees me for who I am, yea yea)
He only sees me for who I am,
(I'm so glad)

(That he is mine)
He's mine,
(Yeaaa)
And I'm his
(It doesn't matter what I did)
It doesn't matter what I did,
(He only Sees me...)
He only sees me for who I am

He saw the best in me,
When everyone else around
Could only see the worst in me,

(I wish I had a witness tonight, Can I ask ya'll one question? The question is simply this... What did he see?)

[Choir:]
He saw the Best

(I can't get no help up in here, because there are some folk in here, people have walked you off, said you would never amount to anything, said that you would never end up being anywhere, but [? ] tell them one more time)

[Choir:]
He saw the Best

(When mama said you would never be nothing, When aunties, and uncles, said you would never amount to anything, When daddy didn't come home anymore, He didn't look at you and say that you wasn't going to make it, God looked at you... AND WHAT DID HE SEE! What did he see?)

[Choir:]
He saw the Best
The Best [x7] (I said what did he see [x6])

He saw the best in me
(Oh Lord, Oh, Lord)


God has been and continues to be a faithful God. When others see in me someone that is less than worthy, my Lord see a heir to the highest kingdom. When I see in my reflection failings and past troubles, my Lord sees an overcomer and woman after God's heart. Even when we forget about all the times that God has seen us through, even when we turn away from him in anger and frustration, even when we question his timing and plans for our lives...HE ALWAYS REMAINS FAITHFUL. It's time we see ourselves through the eyes of God. We are strong and more than capable...hold tight to those truths and mentally mute those who speak anything that contradicts the things the Lord see in you!!!

I hope this post finds all of you in good spirits. Be blessed lovies. xoxo ♥

I'm Back & Better Than Ever

I'M BACK!!!!....& BETTER THAN EVER!!!


I felt like I needed to take a brief hiatus from blogging cause I had sooooo much going on in my life! Have you ever been so overwhelmed with life that you cant even effectively put into words what you're feeling? Well that's where my life has been the last 3 weeks. Now, don't get me wrong...I was not overwhelmed in the negative sense of the word...quite the opposite, in fact, I've been sooooo overwhelmed by the amazing things that have been happening in my life! I'm finally on the path to all my dreams and I don't intend to leave it.
MY DREAMS:
#1 Becoming a performing artist (vocally & theatrically)
#2 Finishing School (International Business Management & Journalism)
#3 Moving out of New Mexico (To Cali or Atlanta)
#4 Being in the same state as my AMAZING BOYFRIEND (I love him ♥)
#5 (back up plan) Being a Sports Agent if #1 doesn't work out

Those 5 goals, last year, seemed like an unimaginably tall mountain that I could never successfully reach the top of. I stressed and cried and prayed and cried and stressed some more...I almost gave up on some of the dreams too. But Lord knows, lol of course He knows, that I am not one to EVER give up on something I truly want. God gave me the strength to hold on and keep believing...and lo and behold, in his timing, God has set into motion each and every one of the 5 dreams I listed above. I am on my way to realizing all my dreams and that I could just SCREAM with excited me every second of the day!! lol. Patience is most definitely a virtue and it is one that God is constantly perfecting in me. I welcome the days ahead!



So, this is where I'm at lovies...this is where I want to stay...this is the time of my life and I'm living it up!!! Sooo....C.H.E.E.R.S!!! Cheers to dreams...Cheers to patience...Cheers to faith...Cheers to perseverance and never giving up...& Cheers to you lovies!



I hope you all are doing well!!! I'm hear to listen and share in your triumphs too!!
Be Blessed!!! xoxo ♥

FEAR NOT



Isaiah 43:1-2

But now, this is what the LORD says—
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.

*An amazing promise from the Lord. That which is HIS will ALWAYS be safe, always be loved, always be HIS...FEAR NOT. These verses have brought me so many blessing and have continuously reminded me to keep my head lifted when I'm trudging through the mire. I hope this post will help remind any of you who are struggling to FEAR NOT. Be blessed loves...

Above The Clouds...




"For I know the plans I have for u," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper u & not to harm u, plans to give u hope & a future." Jeremiah 29:11





This feeling is like I'm soaring ABOVE THE CLOUDS!! Today has been an amazing day!! I'm moving closer to my destiny everyday. I have amazing people in my life that encourage me to be the best person I can be, to chase my dreams, to live life to the fullest and I have the Lord to thank for that.

Life is NOT easy...but the battles of life make the victories so much more triumphant. For me, I know that nothing can truly harm me...nothing can truly stop me...nothing can break me down to the point where I can no longer get up, because I have an AMAZING GOD who loves me, who has plans for me, who gives me the means to prosper, hope and have a future. Every morning I wake up in awe of the fact that I am able to see another day. I pray that for all you too my lovely readers.

Below are just a few of the people who God has blessed me with!!










I hope this post finds you blessed and deliriously happy!!

Faith Is Sooo Much More

F.A.I.T.H --- I've been thinking a lot about FAITH, lately.


The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines faith as:



a firm belief in something for which there is no proof - complete trust - something that is believed especially with strong conviction; especially a system of religious beliefs

but to me...faith is soooo much more.




For me, your aspect of Faith starts with you seeing your destiny atop the highest mountain imaginable. You are standing in the deep valley below and you know, in the very core of your being, that you are too weak to make the climb.



While assessing all that you are, you see what you desperately need...you see all that you have...and you see all that you have isn't enough to help you make it up the steep, jagged, crude wall of the mountain.



Example: Moses - God enlists him to deliver the Israelites from the slave hold of the Pharaoh. He and the Israelites escape from the clutches of the Egyptians, only to run into a vast sea that separates the Israelites from true freedom and the enemy in hot pursuit behind them. Faced with only two options...to SWIM or to FIGHT, the Israelites find themselves in a precarious position, knowing that both options are not enough to overcome the enemy. But God, in his infinite might, gave Moses more then the human eye could see, more then what Moses saw he had...and through his FAITH, Moses was able to wield a regular stick used as a walking staff and part the mighty sea before him.




To Read more on Moses' amazing journey read Exodus Ch 13 & Ch14

So you see...you're standing in front of this ominous mountain that separates you from your destiny. And it's true...all that you see you have IS NOT enough to help you up that mountain, but FAITH gives you the opportunity to use the tools that you cant see...the tools deep down inside you, the tools given to you at birth by a MAGNANIMOUS GOD. YOUR DESTINY IS YOURS...YOUR FAITH IS YOURS TO EXERCISE...WHETHER YOU OBTAIN THE TWO IS IN YOUR CONTROL...WHAT WILL YOU CHOOSE?!

I hope this post finds you blessed. I'm sorry that it's been so long since my last serious post. I encourage you not to let FEAR stop you from exercising your FAITH.



♥ xoxo my darlings.
