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 to audacity to initially tell God???

 “But God, I don’t wanna go now...”

 At that point I wonder if Jesus put His head in His hands and released a deep sigh. I know Jesus loves me, but I’m pretty sure I tear His nerves up...

I know I prayed for it, but I was finally getting to a place of contentment. My current jobs (yes jobs) were taking a turn for the better after years of hardship and stress, and I didn’t want to miss out. I was just starting to become comfortable.  Plus, the unfamiliar has never been appealing to me… but there’s got to be a reason He’s finally opened the door now….after all this time.

And my mind and soul knows I have to take the step forward. Even if my heart and emotions want to say something different. 

My prayer for change that I’ve been praying for years has now become an opportunity, and I’m nervously stepping off the boat being prayerfully confident that I’ll be walking on water toward something greater.

It’s all apart of the journey to trust God more. To go from faith to faith and glory to glory. So pray me up and stay tuned!!! I’d hate for you to miss the great places God will be taking me!

P.S. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for a Year of A Peculiar Kind of Classic!!!!!! All the Facebook likes and shares, the Pinterest saves, and the blog views means so much!!!!! Continue to follow the blog as I go through this thing called life!!!

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

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
