I Am Uniquely Qualified

Feeling warm sand between your toes at the beach Seeing a baby light up with a giant grin Getting a handwritten note in the mail Listening to your favorite music Warm, fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies A magnificent sunrise or sunset Cuddling Good chocolate Holding hands Laughing until you nearly wet your pants Inside jokes Spending time with people you adore A cloudless sky Your favorite flower Getting a call or email from someone you love out of the blue Watching your favorite childhood TV show Singing loudly in the car Hugging your babies, no matter how old they are Stargazing at night Lying in bed listening to the rain Finding money you didn't know was in your pocket An icy glass of lemonade (or beer) on a hot summer day Getting a great parking space Sleeping in Fresh bed sheets Putting on clothes straight from the dryer A breathtaking view -- water, mountain, cityscape, forest, whatever A picnic Plump summer tomatoes Bodysurfing A fireworks...

  Through my personal trials and tribulations I have learned one thing- You need stored up ammunition to shoot down your enemy. When 2012 began I was slowly coming down from a natural high set by the year prior. 2011 was probably one of the best years of my life. I met and fell in love with a wonderful man. I felt feelings I never knew existed. I tasted true love and felt butterflies in my stomach you only hear about in love stories. It's fair to say the beginning of 2012 was somewhat of a twilight zone. The "Coming to Reality" part was difficult and I tackled my first set of road blocks empty handed. I was knocked down repeatedly, until I found myself in the bed with overwhelming feelings of hopelessness.   I prayed… Lord knows, I prayed.   During this time I learned when the devil tries to take you down you need bible ammunition to stop him in his tracks. I needed scripture versus as my weapons. You store up ammunition by spending time with God.   Somet...

We fail at wearing our problems on our sleeves at times.   We all face hardships, but there are only few who can smile through the storm.   I‘ve always admired people like this.   I sometimes wish I could have the strength to smile through adversity as they do.   Truth is I can and so can you. I guess the reason why I feel it’s impossible to do what others do so easily is because I’m viewing it through two different lenses.   When I see them happy and joyful in the face of an obstacle, I see it as strength.   When I have the opportunity to smile through my problems I look at it as being fake.   There’s a part of me that says, “Why smile? Your life is upside down”.   Rather than focus on negative situations in your life, choose to only see the positive.   Focusing on the bad parts of your life can eventually lead to depression.   Do not claim negative circumstances.   Make the choice to be happy.    We can al...

Here’s a trick about this thing called life, "Lots of hard work and little play." My father always told me I have two choices in life. He said, "You can work hard and play later or you can play now and work hard later." Let that sink in for just a moment. Which route have you chosen for your life? In high school I played, so this made college very hard. I don’t have the normal college stories of parties and sororities. I was on my last leg of chances since getting expelled my senior year of high school. This meant I had to come up with a plan to get into school if I wanted a college degree. It's by the grace of God that I made it. Today, I vow to work hard at everything I do. The trick is to factor in only a little 'play'. This will take you a far. Let me remind you of another trick- volunteering. There is surpeme power in volunteerism. If you have never volunteered your time I suggest you try it. There was a woman I recently met from the Harves...

I've been given the most amazing opportunity- to spotlight amazing people in the community. Is that you? Keep reading... I'll fill you in on the whole story. For a while now I have been lost and confused with my chosen career. I didn't know what I wanted and I wasn't sure what I was working towards. You know that fork-in-the-road when you start to question the path you've been on. I was praying for direction but the answers were blurry. Finally I raised my hands and said, "God you know what, I'm not going to move until you tell me what to do. I don't care if it takes two months or two years I will practice patience until you speak to me." Low and behold a few weeks later (Thank God) he spoke to me and told me exactly what to do. It was scary at the thought but I did exactly what he said and Glory be to God I now have this amazing opportunity to showcase organizations in the community that do amazing work for others. My motivation in doing thi...

I was speaking to a friend and he asked me how I got to know God. I think it was one of the greatest questions anyone has ever asked. As he listened I rolled out this long story about how God called me. That's how I feel I met him. I feel he's always watched over me bringing me closer to him one obstacle at a time. Slowly dimming the light on the path I was on and taking me to a better journey. One that is promising, one that endures forever. I really feel God knew me all along. He was just waiting on me to know him. My coworker began to tell me how much he loves hearing stories of how people grow to know the Lord. I encouraged him to write a book about it lol! I would love for you to share. How long did God wait for you? How did you get to know God?
