Inspirational Sunday

I haven't posted in a while, but I will catch you all up in another post about some of things that I accomplished this year. I am so thankful that it is winter break and I actually have time to relax and create some new content. 

I chose this quote because I just finished a semester of my junior year of college and it was challenging. Challenging trying to manage everything even when I wanted to give up especially during the later part of the semester. I didn't give up and I kept on pushing through.  Honestly, I love all the support that my family and friends give me. Don't ever feel like you can't reach a goal or accomplish a dream because hunny, you can. As I embark on challenges and achievements of 2017, I can definitely look back and say that I can do anything I put my mind to. 

You can find happiness. 

You can find love. 

You can find joy.

You can find peace. 

You can find hope. 

You can do anything. And I know there are so many people out there who can try to motivate you, but you are your only motivator. When you believe you can, then things will fall into place. 

I have to remind myself of this everyday, especially when trials and tribulations come in my life and I feel defeated. I can remember that the Lord place me on this earth for a purpose and I can rise above all.

Hebrews 6:19

Wake Up America

If you have been watching the news or even scrolling through social media, you've probably seen the massive posts about #blacklivematters and different videos of police brutality circulating. I always want to instill positivity on my blog and in real life so I know it would be hard to publish this post, but I did not want to ignore the fact that this is happening in America today. If you did happen to see the videos, you would know that it is sickening to see and I personally was heartbroken to see that happened. From the past week of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile to cops being shot, enough is enough. I pray that the Lord would remove the hatred from people's hearts and instill peace.

  I definitely don't want this post to be about a race issue or even targeting cops because that is not what I intend to do. The quote above is a great one because if we do want to end what is happening, we as Americans , need to come together and stay together while working together. I remember when I was younger I used to look up to policemen because they are the ones to protect us. Now, as I am older I do not feel as protected which is scary; to know I am living in a place where I do not feel protected by the people whose job is to protect All Americans while still abiding by the laws that are set. 

I know I don't have all the right words to say about what's is happening now, but I feel the need to speak up because I have not really spoken out about this subject. I am not trying to tell you how you should feel about this subject, but We Need Justice. 

This poem below  by Javon Jackson definitely touches my heart. I've seen too many Facebook posts about women posting that they fear having and raising a black boy in America, which definitely should not be the case. 

Prayers for the whole world!
Stay Woke!

Hebrews 6:19

Inspirational Sunday

This past week as been hectic for me, for no good reason at all. I officially started my job at a summer camp which I've work for three years previously, so this isn't a new job. On top of this job, I'm also looking for another part-time job, since my freshmen year of college, I did not work. With that being said, I am constantly thinking about how am I going to pay for this and that for school and just planning out all of my expenses and savings. So I definitely been stressing about  money situations along with other situations. Nevertheless, I am just going to keep on praying and putting my troubles in the hands of the Lord. I can not keep stressing about things I have no control over. Some things happen in life for a reason, and I just have to accept that. This is my summer break and I am going to enjoy it.

Let me know what you have plan for the summer.

Inspirational Monday

I know today isn't Sunday, but since I am finally done with my Freshman year of college; I thought an Inspirational Monday would still be appropriate. I can not say how much of an exciting experience my first year of college was, even though there would be an upcoming post about my first year experience and advice. This quote really just speaks to me especially since my finals are done. Even when you think you are done and are struggling; God has a plan for you. I truly believe this.  We all know what we are capable of, but those weakness of ours sometimes might get in the way of achieving and accomplishing other things. Simply because we didn't think we could do something because we aren't good enough. I am here to tell you that you are enough. Speak positivity into your life and see how things change. I know sometimes I was in my dorm like how am I going to get through the week, but I always manage to get through the week and come out on top. Don't give up on yourself.

Hebrews 6:19

Inspirational Sunday

What is standing in your way of achieving your goals and dreams? Maybe, yourself. Trust me, there are going to be a million reasons why you feel as though you can't do something, and there is also going to be people around you who tell you that you can't do something. If YOU believe in yourself you can do anything that you put your mind to. I've mentioned this so many times before in my Inspirational Sunday posts, but sometimes you have to encourage yourself and be your own supporter. That belief that you can do something just automatically gives you a little boost of confidence and self assurance. What is stopping you today? Hopefully, not yourself. I believe in you and YOU should believe in yourself.

Hebrews 6:19 

Inspirational Sunday

Sometimes we need others to encourage us to get the job done, but sometimes you have to encourage yourself and give your own self motivation. I start my spring semester of my freshman year of college tomorrow, and I know the workload is going to be heavy and that I'm going to have to put in a lot of studying, but hey, I've got this, and so do you. God would never put more on us than we can bare. I know there are many times in your life where you think that God has forgotten about you, but trust me, He has not and He will get you through your situation. If you are worrying about a certain situation, put it in the hands of the Lord because you've got this.  This year 2016 is still freshly new, so start believing and trusting in yourself. If you don't believe in yourself, who will? Be your own motivator, girl because you've got this.
