The Cali Life

Yep I braided the back of my head last night. I just wanted to share with you guys a couple ideas and happenings. I was watching the sunset this evening and I was excited about life as I watched the sky glow behind the horizon. As I watched, simply in awe, a humming bird zoomed past my ear. I watched it hover and then land in a tree. When not flying, he seemed to be buzzing with action, looking everywhere and glancing at everything. Then it made it's call. In that moment, with sunsetting and the humming bird in front of me, I felt alive and buzzing with new energy. I can see how the pagans find the sun worthy of worship because a sunset can be super exciting, almost a religious experience. As I watched, I felt like I could do anything and everything. Now the verse that's really getting to me now is Colossians 1:27. Here Paul is about to reveal this great mystery of God. And this is it: Christ in you, the hope of Glory. The Living Bible puts it like thi...

Praise God for a positively radiant rest of the week. Yes, I praise Him in advance. So I've been taking time before classes to just pray that God's teaches through me and not me. Honestly, so much less stress than before. I'm smiling more. :) On a side note, I feel like making a vid because my friend made a vid and put it on her blog and it's private so I can't see it and I was so in the mood for a home vid. So I'm making one. I did not realize how much I actually sound like Brandy. I mean I thought I looked like her a little bit but I actually sound like her, which is not really acceptable to me because I appreciate her looks more than I do her voice. If you're wondering about my hair, me too. Trying to figure out how to moisturize these twist without the ends frizzing up. But the twists are still holding together.  The original song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX0cmUj4hvw

My hair was not cooperating this morning. Look at it! Mad stringy! I think the continuous twisting is thinning out my hair. And the pulling back is thinning out edges. Pray for my hair y'all. This week coming, I'm going to just let my hair hang in smaller twists, keep it like that for a month until my b-day. Anywho... Church was great!! I  love my pastor and my young adult bible study group. So last night, the group met and we discussed the reasons as to why today's society is the way it is, in reference to post-modernism and the secular mind set. We are doing a series on this starting with the middle ages that will lead us to today and how we can evangelize to the young adults of today.WORD! I'm so down! Then today for Sabbath School, we did a study on Daniel 2, 7, 8. 9, 11 and how each vision just gives more details than the previous vision.  So deep! Then the sermon was about the book of Esther. The title was "Ask for the Banquet" and Esther is a type...

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 fo...
