Really Random...

What's going on world?? Hope all is well on your end. There's been a lot going on in my world lately, not so much of the positive variety but you gotta just roll with the punches and keep going...

Lately I've been seeing a lot on Facebook with people listing random facts about themselves. It's kind of interesting to me so I'm going to do it here but I'm not tagging people in it or anything because I believe that it's one of two possible instances with this...either 1) you'll see it if you seek it out such as reading my blog or checking my facebook page or 2) you're just not meant to see it because 3) it's just a way of me letting my feelings up off of my chest...

• I’m Promo…what’s da deal? The one and only…
• I’m F.O.C. forever….
• I love helping people, whether they show their appreciation or not…weird, I know…but that’s just how I am.
• I’ve been going through a lot lately, not necessarily personally, but within the circle involved in my life and it’s really been getting to me whether I let it show or not.
• Basically I’m just not happy with life right now but I know that everything isn’t always going to be sunny…
• I’m starting to really grow because of the previous statement.
• I’ve noticed that a lot of my friends are either seasonal or are not friends at all, which is not to say that I don’t have a strong base of friends because I do and I love my true friends.
• A lot of my friendships aren’t 50/50, meaning that I don’t receive the same support that I give out and that really gets to me whether I show it or not but I still continue to give my all towards these people.
• I’m missing a lot of people right now.
• At this point, I’m guarding my heart but where I lead my heart is my choice and mine only.
• I’m starting to work more on my relationship with God because that’s what’s helping me get through a lot of my issues.
• Most likely, I love you and I hope that you know that.
• I’m missing two of my brothers, one blood and one not and hope that God is keeping His hands around both of them

Tough Time and Growing Up...

What's going on, world? Two blogs in one day, after a near 4 month lay off..well I've allowed a lot to build up in my life and just want to, you know, express them to sort of get them off of my mind, chest, and heart. No names though because that's how stress becomes a much greater factor and also some items may concern my family and I can't simply just go dropping names with them because that's disrespectful.

This school year so far has been a very testy one, with the adjustment of becoming more independent, and directing my life in the path that I see fit. At times, I get too anxious for things and that leads to complications with them and as I'm stepping back and looking over these last couple months, I still wouldn't have done anything different because in life, you have to take the good with the bad in order to truly develop into your own, because (1) if you think things are always going to be good, then how will you address adversity that you will inevitably face and (2) if you allow the negative things in your life to simply overtake you, then how will you ever learn from your mistakes and from the mistakes of those around you?

Throughout our lives, people put us through plenty of drama and hurt but rather then being upset with these individuals and placing an unnecessary burden on our shoulders, simply forgive them because we are all imperfect human beings attempting to be like our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, so how can we judge others but not want to be judged for our own sins? I've had a difficult time grasping that but it's becoming more and more clear to me as I sit back and reflect because I realized that I pray each and every morning that God forgives me for my trespasses and those that have trespass against me and the real life application is just as important as simply reciting it each morning...

It's plenty of people in my life and that I've simply seen before that cannot let go of their past and it simply weighs them down. I simply suggest that if that applies to you, just let that go because that no longer represents who you are as a person. Let that demon go and allow God to direct you into what He has planned for you.



Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, Today is the Present so that's a Gift to me...Many have probably heard that before but it's something that we sometimes need to remind ourselves of, me included. Don't allow your past to dictate your present, and don't overlook your present in haste for the future...

There have been plenty of issues within my own family and this Thanksgiving featured a smaller audience then I'm used to and that was plenty hard to deal with but as I just stated, I simply need to focus on those that I have available to me and simply know that when it's time for my other family members to be returned to me then it will happen according to God's Will.

As always, these are just my thoughts but I hope that by revealing my thought process some that I have helped you with your own issues somewhat...

What's Going On In The World?

World, how are you living? Trying to get back into a more regular writing schedule because this provides me with a more accurate way to express my ideas then the text message language lol...But lately, I've just been noticing that you've really got to pay attention to the individuals you are surrounding yourself with because not everyone is out with your best interests at heart and that the world has just gotten crazy period...

It's the holiday season, officially now..*Hope that all had a wonderful Thanksgiving*..and it's already been plenty of stories that can just make your stomach turn over several times...

A worker was trampled to death at a Walmart during their doorbuster sales the day after Thanksgiving....Two men shot each other to death at a Toys R Us because their girlfriends were arguing over items...

These stories have placed a serious damper over the holiday season, not only because of the horrific details that accompany each but also the small news coverage that is being attached to both of them. A child's happiness is surely one of the greatest sights to see but that isn't the purpose of the holiday season...

You can escape from your every day problems during this season...You can let your family know how much you appreciate them...You can let your friends know that their friendship is so valuable to them...You can prove that you love your spouse to a great level...but not at the expense of harming others or perhaps even those around you. Presents play a vital role in the season but remember that Jesus is the reason for the season at the end of the day and to give thanks for all that you've been blessed with and just try to make another person's life better through more then just material goods...Put a smile on, have a positive conversation, let an old friend know that you've missed them....It isn't all about how much you spend during this season, but rather how many people you touch with your warm spirit...

That being said, I hope that this holiday season continues on with few to no incidents and that you all enjoy this season to the utmost...
