When You Get a Glimspe of Purpose.....


Well hello friends! 2019 is just around the corner and I can tell you with all honesty that I’ve never been more excited for a new year. Just when I was embracing the “just making it….´ or “status quo…..” mentality. I was becoming ok with my life and the way it seemed to be heading. Accepting that this is what life had to offer and that what I was offering was all I had.

That kind of mentality will make you do strange things. Things usually out of your character. So sometime in the middle of the year, I decided I would start doing things just because. As long as it didn’t hurt anyone. Go see the play. Go on the trip. Read the book. Start the blog.

That last one threw me. I’ve never considered myself a writer. Truthfully?? There are some teachers and professors out there that never considered me a writer either according to their grades and comments. I’m usually the math and statistics girl. Two degrees in Economics. The one that likes to be analytical.

Writing won’t hurt anyone. So why not….and you know what? It didn’t turn out to be so insane. In fact…..it began something special for me. It made me realize that I may have something more to give than what I’m currently offering. It opened my eyes to new areas that possibly needs my influence.

Is this what you call purpose? Maybe so. Now due to my overexcitement, I have jumped into somethings I wasn’t ready for (Grace is a beautiful thing folks). However, through prayer, advice, and training. I’m tailoring, focusing on a vision, and preparing for new things.

Which also brings impatience. I work fast and expect for the people and things around me to do the same. So when I decide to write the vision and make it plan, people who usually do a great job of testing my patience decide to up the ante. Little things in the house start to break down. I decide to run over the only nail in the middle of the street and flatten my new tire. Then my patience is almost nonexistent and I’m ultimately distracted from my new goals and forget my overall purpose.

Right on time for the new year, right?

So I’m pledging to stay in the fight. To finish 2018 strong. That way I can start 2019 in the right frame of mind. I’ve got to keep this ball rolling!

Listen I plan on making 2019 a big year! More blogging, more traveling, big birthday (entering the last 6 months of my 20s!), trying new fashion, dropping some more weight (fingers crossed), and for the first time in a while, making room for the lovely surprises along the way! I plan on continuing to pursue the classic life in the same “peculiar” fashion. Being set apart. Going against what the world would deem normal. I’m excited, and I hope your wanting the same for your life. We can encourage each other along the way!

When You Look Forward to the Future...

Isaiah 43:19 I celebrated a birthday over the weekend and have officially been in my 30s for three whole days. And the one big thing that I have found is a change in perspective. It’s slowly been creeping up on me the last few months of my 20s, but I’m embracing the change day by day. The big word of the year?!?!? GRATEFULNESS!!!!!!!!!! I remember fellow family members, friends and classmates that didn’t make it to 30. That fact alone is nothing short of sobering. It makes you aware that life is truly God’s gift and my being alive is on purpose and for purpose. Not only grateful for that, but for the amazing opportunities God has set before me, past and present. In my 30s, I see myself taking more risks. I’ve said it in my blog before, but I feel more confident so it bears repeating! 😊 I’m frequently reminding myself that I am now a risk taker and plan to take advantage of all the good opportunities coming despite how qualified I feel for it. To help me, I found myself j

When It's No Longer A Prayer...

Matthew 7:7 Today marks a year since I published my very first post! First, let me thank God at how amazed I am to still be writing. Not only have I grown in persistence, but I’ve also been able to see how much my mentality has changed. I have a deeper understanding of purpose, and how it’s important to find it and how impactful it is for you and your environment.  This blog in a sense has become “rough drafts” of my prayers to God. It’s where I happen to share the things that’s happening in my life and the things I want to happen in my life. Then I pray and I meditate and I wait and wait and wait and wait and…..you get the picture. So I was completely dumbfounded when I was presented a solution to a problem I had been praying about for years. Today I interview for a new position in a totally different field than I’m currently working. A field, more importantly, that correlates with the field I studied and attained not one, but two degrees for. And do you know what I had

Intentionality: Affirmation Of Validation

1 Corinthians 3:10-11 Personally, I like S.T.E.M. (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) subjects more than the English or Literature. In S.T.E.M., you’re presented with a problem and your objective is to provide the solution. I loved the fact that in most cases, there is only one solution and there’s a clear cut method to get to the solution.  The more advanced you get in those subjects, you’re often given the task to write proofs, or validate that the method you used to solve the problem works no matter what real world problem you’re presented with.  We’re understandably in an era of seeking truth...about the state of the economy, or maybe the state of our relationships. The problem is there’s never a clear cut answer. Everything is subjective and the state or one thing most times depends on another.  Sometimes it feels our our confidence...our self esteem...our self worth gets wrapped up in the subjective. Our worth depends on who said what about u
