Rejoice

   I like the feeling of being pressed for time for a project, or a situation because it makes me want to do everything fast pace which is what I know best.... I thrive under stressed. (which is not good because the wrinkles are starting to show) I hustle, I network, I work all day and multitask with as much as I possibly can. That is just how I work best. However, I have just left two jobs and am in the midst of transitioning from the last two to two new jobs.... So, I have about 2 weeks of down time and let me tell you..... I HATE IT!!!!!! I honestly feel way out of my comfort zone because I actually have quite a lot of quiet time and down time.. ( though I have filled it up quickly with social events) But, this time has forced me to really just sit a be more than I usually do. Scary!!! When I have those quiet times I tend to freak out and begin to question if I am doing anything right in my life. Just a typical 20 somethings thought. ;) Why do I do this? Last week I was going crazy.... Literally.... I was going out every single night with dear friends, staying out super late.... and repeat the next day and night.... and just asking God what the heck am I doing with my life?! I then realized.... I was asking so much and freaking out, that when I turned on some worship music and played it though the house, my heart just stopped!! I had been craving to simply sit and rejoice in the moment. Ever think of that?!
   We press for time, and are always go go go and give God thanks for when things are good and busy, but then when we have a moment to sit we freak out and question everything. Well guess what! He gives us the time during the day, and during the night..... So rejoice, and thank Him. It is the little moments we claim count in life anyways.... I dare you the next time you have some down time... to blast the worship music and just listen to it with a thankful heart. You will be so filled with joy and contentment.  
  That is all for now:) Not to to much happening. Few dates and whatever but I will write about them later:) Gotta make sure they don't read this blog first ;)

Thank You

     You look stunning. I love that outfit. Girl you are looking good. Look how tiny you are..... These are phrases girls say to one another often.  And though we are quick to give these compliments away, we are stubborn to receive them. All my girls are stunning. They have wonderful figures, curvy and thin. Glowing skin, beautiful hair, great style and even more so they have such stunning hearts. I am in awe of every single one of them individually and make sure they know and understand their beauty. However, when I give them these words of affirmation, quickly argue about something on them that is wrong. I do this too! ALOT! And why is it when we want words of affirmation and are given them, we argue them and turn them down? Is it because it is not from a man? The thing is ladies, men love us! They love our figure because they do not have it. They love our faces because no one else looks like us. They adore our hips, our thighs, our skin, our arms.... yeah I said it!!!! THEY LOVE OUR ARMS!!!!! Especially the back of them... ( Which I do this day will never understand).... I know we have all had them pinch us on the fat part of our arms ;).... And they love it! So how about we embrace the fact that we..... are beautiful... uniquely in every way.
   My room mate and I were talking one night after a long day of working. We were both drained physically, mentally, emotionally and ever spiritually that night. We were just rambling on about how we were tired of always fighting so hard just to keep above water in every way. She is in a relationship and was talking about her struggles in the relation, and I was telling her how I was struggling some in the lack of relation I had. We both listened, and then both separately reminded one another that we are daughters of the Most High. Princesses of the Kingdom of God. Made in the image of God, and He finds such delight in us and our individual gifts that were given to us. After tears and frustrations, we really were reminded of our true pure beauty. Research what is said about His delight in us... and being created in His image.
  Be encouraged ladies. We all will have days when we feel so disgusting and do not want to leave the house. Days when we feel bloated, have a pimple, hair is too stringy, thighs jiggle to much...... But know you are beautiful. You are seen as beauty because you have something no one else has. 
  There is perfection in the imperfection I truly believe it.  So tell me what is the staple of you figure that you love? Mine?  My hips and my butt.... I love and hate them;).... However whenever I felt nasty or insecure... one of my best men would tell me to look in the mirror and say to myself.... You're a Sexy Bitch.....  Try it:) It works! 

-So remember ladies, Say Thank You
