I'm Amazed

Yes I'm taking a picture with my phone. And what? Look at that forehead! The majority my face is my forehead. I don't know what I'm doing with my hair. Think I'll wear my hat tonight. But look at those beautiful teeth! And those eyes! Sweet! Can wait till I grow back those eyelashes and that brow! I need to rock those contacts. Those eyes can not be hidden any longer. Bday is coming up in a month and some days. Y'all pray that my lashes grow back by then. Any who...so the reason why the phone is in the pic.

I lost this phone yesterday evening when my friend was dropping me off near the mailbox so I could bring in the mail. Unfortunately, I was clueless to what occurred until I was in the house. By then I wasn't sure if I left it in the vehicle, if it was hidden in one of the bags I take with me to school, or if I had accidentally dropped it on the ground in front of the house or the mailbox. As it was already dark outside, I decided to leave the excursion for later and search inside the house. I searched all over (hehehe if you know the song) and I could not find it. I assumed I must have dropped it outside or in the vehicle. The next morning, I found out that the phone was not in the vehicle. So I came home this afternoon with the intention of searching this house and the outside. I searched all over (hehehe) and I couldn't find the phone. I prayed. In my prayer, I recounted to God how he helped me find my charger on Wednesday (Right after I prayed). Then I praised Him for finding the phone and for just being who He is. I'm sure I said other things. Then I searched the house some more. And then I started to despair. I prayed for God to take away the negative feelings and again for my phone. Yes! Then I got up and had lunch with the plan to walk back to the mailbox to search for the phone. On my way to the mailbox with an ice cream sandwich in my hand (so good, so good) I run into one of my neighbors named Kenneth, who is an Atheist from Chicago who loves NY, and he was also going to get his mail. So I decided to also not look like I had lost my puppy and I picked up the mail for the house I live in also. As we're talking I know I've got to ask him for my phone, and as he is leaving to go back into his house, I ask him about the cellphone. And of course he has it. He tells me that it was quite fortuitous. I suggested that it might be providential. Being an Atheist, he brushes that suggestion away.  I was shocked at how amazing God worked. Kenneth is also someone I've got to pray for now.
I know that y'all are thinking that I was just being careless again. And you're right. But God keeps proving to me how un-careless He is. Yes, I said un-careless. I'm Amazed.

My hair and discipleship

Oh man it has been a while since I've wrote in this. So let's start with my hair. Can you tell from the pic that I'm feeling my eyes? Can't wait til I can wear my contacts! Back to my hair! Right now, It's in some mini twists. This morning I washed it with tresseme naturals conditioner (the moisture one) and I left it in all day. Unfortunately, that also did nothing much to retain moisture but create a gel-like hold. The only thing that seems to work is when I put oil in my hair and I pull in back in one . So I just put water, oil and kckt in it from root to tip and I'm going to leave it out and see how my hair keeps the moisture. If this does not work, I'm going to have to invest in a good wig or moisturize every six hours, because this dry climate is going to break off all this hair I'm trying to grow. And yes, I have been watching vids with girls that have ridiculously long hair. SMH! This past weekend, I attended a discipleship training, in whi...

Die, Chick, Die!

Yeah...problems. I have cried more in these last weeks in front of people than I ever have.  First last week, I cried because I made mistakes. This week, I cried because I interjected in a confrontation between John and Nadine ( my host parents) and I felt so justified but I suppose the Holy Spirit is working in me, or maybe it was self rising up in me but I felt remorseful about my outburst and I cried in front of them again as I was apologizing to John. Poor John. Poor host  family. I believe crying is a response to the books I've been reading about dying to self. But I cannot discern whether it is the Holy Spirit or self that is causing this emotional response in me. But I am realizing the futility of self and it sucks being unstable. In other news, My hair is a mess. I slept on my twistout last night becasue I didn't want to twist them over again and risk more breakage. One side of my head is all straggly and the other side is full and luscious...

Don Lemon Update!

This Video made me think of Don Lemon. You'll see why. The media seems to be so accepting of homosexuality and yet not accepting of those who choose to be heterosexual after clearly experiencing the homosexual side of things. Poor Antoine Dodson has to deal with people hating on him because he has chosen a different lifestyle. As I watch the video, I am a little annoyed that the anchor woman seems to find no problem with insulting millions of people who believe in a higher power and that higher power by sarcastically stating "pray the gay away". Can you say biased? She seems to be offended by his instability in choosing a sexual identity. People change their minds all the time. Why can't he be accepted for choosing to be a heterosexual? Antoine Dodson is definitely brave. But then his personality is so huge, he could pull it off.  I definitely appreciate Don Lemon's personality. I appreciate his support of Black History Month and the need for it. I li...
