Just an awakening!

The other day a friend of mine leaves me a voice mail. She said she really sensed a shift happening in our local church. This statement immediately settled within me. I heard it loud and clear. I have been sensing the same thing for a while. Not just in our church though, in the body of Christ at large.

This post is very different from all of my other posts. I just feel a great push to document this within the parameters of this blog simply as a line in the sand. This friend of my is great at challenging me to keep moving forward. To allow God to work in and through me to accomplish what He has designed for me from the very inception of time.

I will, I am, positioning myself for this shift. Please do likewise. Whatever it is you sense God telling, showing, compelling you to do; do IT! In other words, PUSH!

PUSH past all of your old perceptions. Don't allow what you already know to color or contaminate what new is coming to you. Many times I have the propensity to allow my understanding to operate in the same mode it has in the past when I encounter new information. I have committed to stop that. I will look at things from God's perspective. But foremost I will ask Him to lend me His perspective on every matter that concerns me or my children.

PUSH past all that you fear. I will no longer allow what I think may happen to hold me back from doing things I know He has planned for me to do. I will not be limited by my own strength nor my concept of it.

PUSH all the way into where God is showing you to go.

PUSH! PUSH! PUSH!

it's been over a year!

I can't say the time has flown by. But it really has gone pretty quickly. My life and my locs are going places I never thought they would go. I am still in school, and I believe my locs have saved my life. To cut out the half to whole hour I used to spend on my hair in the morning has been a God send. I get a little freaked out now because every now and then I feel something graze across the base of my neck, then I realize it is my hair. I haven't felt that in years. That is pretty fun.

As for school, I am in my next to last quarter at the White Castle of Colleges, and will be transferring to a nursing school in my area this fall. It's hard for me to believe that I have been in school now for two years and my dream of becoming a nurse is this close. God has been so faithful to me. I really didn't think I could do it. I never had the support growing up that would say you are smart you can do anything God puts in your heart to do. Rather, I always felt like the negatives were harped on more than anything. This experience of being in school has been beneficial in manifold ways. Just to name a few. I have learned that I have a great brain and have scartched the surface of how to use it. I have perseverance that I had not tapped into before. And I love science. I would not have told you that in my high school career. Although, thinking back now I really didn't mind it. It was math that I abhorred.

Oh well, I just took a study break to jot these thoughts down. Thanks for checking me out.

Love ya!

P.S. I feel like I always promise this, but truly pics are coming.
