Easter Sunday!

Happy Easter, Everyone!!!

I've got to say we serve a MIGHTY GOD who was nailed on the cross and died for the sins of the whole world....how AWESOME is he!!!

But anyway!!!!!!!!

I was listening to this song my friend, Tanisha SANG on youtube...not sing BUT she sannggg it! lol The song is 'Make You Feel My Love' by Adele...what a beautiful song!!! LISTEN TO IT, PLEASE!!!!!

She says basically she would do anything for him to feel her love!! Rolling seas, storms, going hungry....

"the whole world is on your case,I could offer you a warm embraceto make you feel my love."

Doesn't that sound familiar!!!! Shaking My Head....

Thats it for now!

April Fools!!!! But the Jokes on Me....

Today, I was talking to my friend about a saying that I firmly believe in "if its meant to be, it will be" (Thats my STRONG faith!)

But after talking to him(my friend) and he bringing up the argument...if you don't do anything to make it happen it's usless.

Now I don't know what to believe....it makes me sad! :(
That all I thought was going to happen may not...because I'm sitting back and seeing if it may happen!!!

How strong is my faith now?

p.s. God makes a way out to NOOO way!!!

Jazmine Sullivan...OH EM GEEE! :)

If you know me well...you know I'm not a hard core rap and hip hop feen!

But more of a R&B and mostly SOUL person!!! Its the old woman in me..as some may say!!!

Today, I'm in that type of mood to listen to Jazmine Sullivan's music....She writes and sings my life story! Each of them correlating with my situation at the time!!!

Jazmine Sullivan is amaazzzziiinnnggggg!!!

From "Need U Bad" to "Bust the Window Out Ya Car" to "Lions, Tigers, and Bears"

and my latest jam....(not singing to my situation)..."In Love With Another Man" (constantly on repeat!)

"Oh HOT DAMN...this is my jam...keep it partyin' to the AM"

OKKKKKKKKAY...I'm done!!! :)

Nothing to really say today!!! :)

Nothing to say really...hence the title!

But I just wanted to write down a verse that keeps me pushing everyday:

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105

My Naturalness :)

But I can't express the way I love my hair!!

I decided to cut all my hair off one day in December...my suitemate got the scissors and chopped those permed ends off!!

NOT A TEAR!!!!!!! lol I was very proud of myself!

I have friends who call me Erykah Badu and Jill Scott...all in fun!! But heyyy...they, both are FLYY doing their naturalness!!

Just one of the steps of LIBERATION!!!!

I love my naturalness!!! :)
Curls, naps and everything else.... lol

Love Yourself....

Another beautiful day in New Paltz....

I really didn't want to talk about my relationship troubles on here...but I wouldn't be truthful to myself if I didn't because the way I say somethings and act sometimes is a direct result of my relationship woes!!!

I am BITTER! I am the first to admit!

After the things I've been through in the last year, I've come to the conclusion--just because you're in love with a person doesn't mean you are meant to be together! (dont get it confused with MEANT TO BE!!!..thats a different story)

My breakup was suppose to be a BREAK!! Most know the term...the DREADED term! We both needed some space...I guess!

After months of being broken up...I'm such a better person because I've learned to love myself so much more. To change for me and no one else. To be more independent. Not to say I wasn't a great person before...lol!!! But I'm better now!!! :)

This BREAK was necessary...and I had to realize when my friend wrote a note on his facebook...and i loved this line "I had to realize that in order to grow together you must learn to grow individually."

That line was my inspiration for today's blog!

Sometimes we have to grow and learn more about ourselves and more importantly LOVE ourselves a little more before we engage in a relationship. Sometimes beyond our control we put our significant other over ourselves. I can attest to that!

YOU HAVE TO BE YOU'RE MAIN PRIORITY. Besides GOD...ofcourse!

p.s. if its meant to be...it will be! Have Faith!

What a beautiful day! :)

Today, I woke up reading an email my mom sent me. Called "The Word for Today" and it was just the BEGINNING of A GREAT DAY!

"Give thanks to the Lord, because He is Good, and His love is eternal. In my distress I called to the Lord; He answered me and set me free. The Lord is with me, I will not be afraid: what can anyone do to me? It is the Lord who helps me and I will see my enemies defeated. It is better to trust in the Lord than to depend on man. It is better to trust in the Lord than on human leaders. The Lord makes me powerful and strong; He has saved me. I will praise you Lord because You heard me,because You have given me victory. You are my God and I give you thanks; I will proclaim your greatness. Give thanks to the Lord, because He is good, and HIS LOVE IS ETERNAL."

Just some inspiration!!
I don't force religion on anyone BUT I HIGHLY SUGGEST IT... :)

Then I was walking back to my dorm and saw one of my friends...talking about the weather, talking about spring break and then talking about how the semester is going. He asked me how the semester was going...I said BLAHHHHHHH which is always my response to that question! He asked me WHY! I said its not the greatest but HEY IT COULD BE A LOT WORSE!!!

HEY IT COULD BE A LOT WORSE is my motivation for this blog.

Sometimes it rains but it doesn't rain forever!!!!! Thank God! I've gone through a WHOLE LOT of stuff this past year...and only GOD has brought me through!!!
