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.

Go Shorty! It's Your Birthday!

Yeah right. I did my hair. Actually my friend did it for me. My ends are a little frazzled. Unfortunately, the lady that I wanted to cut my hair waited until it was too late to contact me. She wants to reschedule for next week and if my hair is indicator now, she will be cutting off at least an inch, which means protective styles for the rest of the year. So I didn't get a proper trim because she was not free for the time she scheduled me. My ends look horrid!  But I look fly. We fly high, no lie,... Yeah... So anyway... Praise God I'm 26 years old. In other news, focusing on God is getting harder. But I am up for the challenge. I need to be in order to come correct with God. And be prepared for Jesus and other things.

Dreams never lived

We have to get rid of the idea that we understand ourselves,... -Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest I've been ignoring this idea for a couple of days, that I have not accomplished things that I have shied away from for whatever reason. It's depressing to think of how far I've gone from my unfulfilled dreams. I always settle for less than best.  I've dreamed of changing the youth program over here in California where I attend church. Never did it. I've dreamed of empowering my young people back home to make changes. Never did it. I've dreamed of becoming a Senior Youth Leader. Never finished! I've dreamed of being a Medical Missionary. Not accomplished. I dreamed of sining my own songs before people. Not done yet. I dreamed of writing tons of books. Completely unfulfilled. So in listening to the motivational speeches, I focus on things that I can do in the future rather than the things in the past that I have not accomplished but in truth, they

Complaining

Quite recently, I was speaking about having to wake up early in the morning in order to get a ride to the school. I was definitely hurt when someone responded and said that I was always complaining. Every once in a while, this person has hinted that I whine and complain. I was annoyed because to be quite honest I would love to use this person for a character comparison. Unfortunately, I actually like this person, which is why it hurt when I heard this person say this. Which made me think: Does this person even want to be around me? They don't respond to my texts and they give me strange looks. Unfortunately, I do complain but not in the spirit of being mean spirited and pessimistic. But mostly in the spirit of needing something to talk about. It annoys me that my life is only summed up in the amount of things I can complain about. It annoys me that I am not joyful enough to be better.Help me Jesus to be better. Phillipians 2:  14  Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15  t
