Psalm 37:4 (New International Version)

Jeremiah 29:11 (New International Version)
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

Dream Big!

Lately I have really been feeling inspired to pursue my dreams (I have so many!! lol). But I must be real, it is easy to let fear get in the way. I know God lays things on my heart and has given me many gifts; its just that at times it is difficult to start acting on them. God let's us know that he has great things in store for us, but we seem to be afraid to not act on them. God has given me gifts, and I am convinced that it is now my time to act on them. Often, when we think of dreams, we think of these major events and occurrences, but we really just have to start small. God wants us to do great things here on Earth, as long as He receives the glory he is due, we just have to bring the desires of our heart to him! One of the first things I want to do is start doing some wardrobe consulting (prayerfully I can turn it in to a career), so you know what I did a few days ago to act on the gift God has given me? Ordered some business cards (Vistaprints has some extremely affordable ones)! I don't know what your aspirations and dreams may be (maybe go back to school, get married have children, start a new career, become an actress, etc), but I do not that by listening to God speak and acting on what he gives, you can achieve them!

So lovelies, time to get to work!!

Love, Peace, and Happiness,

Matthew 17:20 (New International Version)

Hebrews 2:4 (New King James Version)
4 God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

Happy Hump Day Lovelies!

Ok, so first apologies are due, because I have neglected writing for over a week. I have been kinda busy trying to maintain and venture into new things. By the way, I passed my TExES content exam; Praise God!!! When I got the news I was hall monitoring during the TAKS test, so I had to quietly praise God for seeing me through that test with a passing grade, instead running and shouting and screaming down the hallway like I really wanted to.

I knew I was in a school, and there is supposed to be a separation of church and state, but ladies, I really could not hold my peace. So you know what I did, I went to the restroom and had a small and brief praise party, lol. God is too awesome, not to give him the praise that he is due. The Bible says that God works the extraordinary not the ordinary, and if I can be real about my testing ability on April 4, 2009, God was being extraordinary when I got that passing score! I was so nervous, even seconds before I opened the score on my iPhone, which has gotten me to thinking lately. Why was I doubting God? True enough, I know I was falling asleep (not literally but very close LOL) during the test, had no idea about one of the works I was supposed to write about in my comparative essay, and felt like the stuff I studied in my test prep materials was not on the test. But, I had prayed to God about that thing on many occasions, including right before I started testing, yet I did not have faith that I would do good enough.

And you know what, God showed me baby! When I saw that score, I felt God say "I got you baby girl." It was such an awesome feeling, knowing that though I was doubtful, He had already taken care of me and reminded me that I had no reason to doubt! All it takes is faith in God and his wonderful abilities, for extraordinary things to happen. All he is doing, is waiting is for us to ask Him and believe in him. Sometimes, our prayers don't get answered, because we ask without believing. God wants to do great works in our lives, but we fail to ask. (I'm talking to myself too lovelies) So, from this day forward, lets talk to God, tell him the desires of our heart (according to his will and word of course), and believe in Him to do great things (in His time, not ours)!

In The Morning

Sometimes, it is so easy to get down, sad, or disappointed about the things happening or not happening in my life, but it always seems that after a bit of time feeling this way, I remember that light must come after darkness!  With the economy in the dumps, job losses everywhere, relationship issues, and so on, I know some of you may feel this way too at times.  I have to remind myself that God won't forsake me, and you know what?  He doesn't allow me to stay down for long!  When I feel down I do a few things that always make me feel better (aside from praying and going to church):

1) Do my nails (I love nail polish and all of its colors, and when I am down I usually go for more vibrant colors)

2) Listen to music and shake what my momma gave me in my long mirror, LOL

3) Dress up!  (my favorite one!)

For me personally, on days when subbing isn't consistent, things simply aren't right, or I'm feeling down, I put on a cute dress or some jeans and cute tee or shirt, and a pair of 4-5" stilettos, even if all I am doing is running an errand or visiting my mom and her co-workers at work!  I simply feel fabulous and much better after doing so.  These things do not substitute the amazing feeling and empowerment God gives, but I find them to be a tool God allows as a little pick me up.  I've come to realize that though I may feel down or my circumstances are bad, doesn't mean I have to stay in that frame of mind.  But to be honest, it wasn't until I started really trying to build my relationship with God (a daily journey), that I have been able to see the sun shining on the other side of my darkness, long before it even begins to rise!  So today lovelies, I just want to remind you that the sun is beaming, even if you can't see it right now or at difficult times.  All we have to do is look up to see the sunshine!

Live, Love, Be Happy!

Today's Bible Verse

Psalm 30:5 (New International Version)

 ⁵ For his anger lasts only a moment, 
       but his favor lasts a lifetime; 
       weeping may remain for a night, 
       but rejoicing comes in the morning.

What I Want Now: Shoes!!

So I was doing some web searching, looking at shoes, and I came across these!!!  

I am very picky about the kind of sandals I wear, because I have some feet insecurities (Lord help me, lol), but these sandals are perfect!  I always prefer a thong settle sandal, as opposed to strappy ones, because I like how they look on my feet.  The gladiator shoe is totally in this season, but most importantly: this turquoise color is DIVINE!!  I love the studded details too.  I can see myself wearing these with jeans and a tee or a cute blouse, or a cute dress (short or maxi) throughout the summer.  I must have them soon (can we say b-day present?)  LOL!

OMG, I love me a funky(in a good way) shoe, and this shoe is Funk-ay LOL!!!  I love the pointed toe, that is not too pointy.  The hidden platform is so in, and add comfort.  I absolutely adore the color blocking.  I am a pink/purple kind of girl, so this magenta is so right for me!!  The architectural detail on the back of this shoe (the raised back) is so on point!  Add a 4.25" heel and these shoes are just right for me; I totally see them in my closet (visualization is key, lol).

When I get these shoes (it is important to speak things into existence lovelies!), you all will definitely know!

La Vie, L'Amour, Etre Heureux,
