Shut up and talk!

Mother's Day church service was very good and God really spoke to my heart and the heart of my husband. You see, we are the type of folks that like to shout from the mountain tops when God blesses us or something. Well, we are now aware that other people don't always see those praise reports as such. Sometimes people see it as bragging and become offended by it thus we lose our "witness" of Christ. In order words, once the person becomes offended by what we are saying, they will probably turn a deaf ear to us... so the message of Christ's blessings is never conveyed. That is a VERY powerful revelation. Sometimes you just have to SHUT UP and allow your light to shine and your life to TALK to folk instead. The best decision we have ever made as a couple is to serve God. When I say serve, I mean wholeheartedly. We don't just attend church on Sundays and post a status here or there and believe that is sufficient. No, we pay tithes and we participate. We engage with our fellow Christians and most importantly, we seek counsel of the GODLY on things that we are confused about. There is nothing worse than talking to someone who has not been where you are, may not be going where you are going, or who has failed at whatever it is you are trying to accomplish. Although, the latter of the 3 may be beneficial in guiding you away from potential mishaps. Don't always think of failure as a negative thing. I've failed plenty of times at multiple things and so has my husband, sheesh! But the beauty of it is that you learn from that. I've learned that prayer is my number one tool for life. I literally pray without ceasing. It isn't always a long, drawn out, Holy Ghost shouting event either. Most of the time it is something as simple as a "Thank you Lord" for whatever reason. I challenge you to try it. Start with saying grace prior to eating... a simple "Thank You Lord for this food you have provided for me". No joke, it's just that simple. Now, this blog didn't start as a tool to witness for Christ, but be that as it may, when you are walking with God and you've given your life to Him...EVERY thing you do will bring glory to His name.... so remember...just SHUT UP AND TALK!

Currently...

Haven't posted in a while. School is OUT for the summer so I'm here now. Just completed my 2nd semester of NP school and I'm very blessed to say it was a success. It was very overwhelming at times but GOD! Now I can enjoy my days and work my nights (I'm a nurse by the way) as needed.

OAN: I'm on a weight loss, bikini body fitness kick right now. My husband says I'm so back and forth lol but it's true! But for now, I'd like to wear a swimsuit this year at the beach! 3 week countdown. I'm eating healthier and also working out 4 times a week at BR Krav Maga studio doing kickboxing and stuff. I'm also walking 5 miles per day when I can as well sooooo I should reach my goals!

Oh yall I HATE when people have opinions but not options! But that's a whole post within its self! I pay attention to everything and not much gets by me... I'll talk about that next time

FYI, this blog doesn't have structure on purpose! I'll post random thoughts as they come. So much so that even this post was a compilation of randomness based on FB posts, group texts, etc! Enjoy! Feel free to comment...
