[FOOD • 4 • THOUGHT]

"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."

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...

Lord I Need You...We Need You...Now

It's been a rough day :( My Nina (My aunt & godmother) is in the hospital dying. She's fighting so hard to stay...but things aren't looking good for her. I'm seriously struggling to keep it all together. There's so much I feel like saying, crying, screaming...but with all the emotion building this song says it all. It says everything my soul is emitting. Lord, my family & I...we need you now.






I Need You Now
~ Smokey Norful

Not a second
Or another minute
Not an hour
Or another day


But at this moment with my arms outstretched
I need you to make a way
As you've done so many times before
Through a window or an open door

I stretch my hands to you
Come rescue me
I need you
Right away


I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now





Not another second
Or another minute
Not another hour of another day
But Lord I need you right away

If I never needed you before
To show up and restore
All of the faith that I let slip
While I was yet searching the world for more

The true best friend I have indeed
You're my best friend I know indeed
I stretch my hands to thee
Come rescue me
I need you right away

The agony of being alone
The fear of doing things on my own
The test and trials that come to make me strong
The feelings of guilt, hurt, shame, and defeat
The way the trials that beat upon me
But to know Lord that in you I've got victory


I need you now, Lord, I need you now
I need you right now, right now, right now
I need you now





Oh not another second
Not another minute, Lord
Can't wait another day
Oh Lord, please make a way
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Mmmmm, Yeah





I hope that you had a blessed and wonderful day. It's important that we be thankful and happy for everyday that we spend above ground. You see...someone somewhere didn't get to see this day...and someone somewhere wont get to see tomorrow. Our days...no matter how hard or how incredible...are still gifts given to us by our wonderful and mighty GOD!! Embrace each day...Enjoy the things you have rather then dwell on the things you don't. Carpe Diem...Seize the Day!!!

Please, if you can, keep my aunt and my family in your prayers. We appreciate it so much. I love you lovies!! xoxo

Prayers of My Conscience

Every night provides a moment to reflect on the day that's past and your life as you see it now. Today has been a special day...One of relaxing, washing dogs, talking to my baby and ending with a lil tv, guitar time and hopefully sleep...but as of right now...my heart is reflecting and this is what it's speaking....



Guide me when my faith isnt faithful
Guide me when my strength isnt strong
Guide me when my peace isnt peaceful
Guide me when my right is wrong

Guide me with your patience when my patience is no longer
Guide me with your wisdom when the answers are indiscernible
Guide me with your presence when im feeling lost and desolate
Guide me with your spirit cause you are my only mentor, Lord.

These are the prayers of my conscience.




Welp lovies...Im off to bed. I enjoyed another day and enjoyed writing another post. I hope you enjoyed!!! *Be Blessed* xoxo
