Patience

Patience is a gift known by many and yet only blessed to few. We've all been told to have patience, sometimes in round-about ways such as "only time will tell", or "wait it out" etc. Patience comes in many forms and is needed in almost every situation whether your waiting for food in a restaurant or stuck in traffic in the city. Or maybe your simply waiting on the right opportunity or relationship to come a long. How many times do we really listen when someone tells us to have patience? If I'm being honest then I know for myself the answer is well quite rarely.  
   Patience isn't something we automatically receive the moment we leave the womb, its a trait in which is squired over time and through consistent practice. As hard as it may be, this quality is one that we should all enrich ourselves in. No matter where you are in the process, remember we are all human which means we all have aspects of ourselves that need improvement. Don't let the areas in your life you need to work on scare or intimidate you. Improvement is a chance for success and determination/ consistency are the aspects that drive us to success. If we didn't have areas to improve upon then we would have nothing to learn, and if you ask me, a life without knowledge and learning is one I personally would not find pleasurable to live. 
   My advice to you, as hard as it may be to have patience, practice it prefusely. If your nervous about an upcoming opportunity or even just scared you won't make it to work on time because of the traffic, pray about it. We as humans are not perfect but were blessed to serve a God who is. Lastly if you want an opportunity or a relationship with someone bad enough then know what you want, work for what you want, don't give up and trust that Gods timing will make it happen. In our world today we face a lifetime of unknown, but take comfort in this, we serve a God whom has had an eternity of purely known :)

Phoenix

 I feel there is something not talked about enough, everyone knows the feeling of failure. We all make mistakes, comes with being human, we all cope with that. How though do we cope when unplanned mistakes take place, I know your wondering what on earth I mean by this, most mistakes are unplanned… I am referring to the mistakes, the trials that occur even when the “rules” are followed, those that incur even when perhaps we have done everything right that is within in our power. This takes a different type of coping, paired with an even greater understanding and matched with yet a greater perspective. In order to cope and heal from these unplanned mistakes we need to evaluate what was within our control and what was genuinely not. Often times when things go wrong we immediately blame and criticize ourselves because let’s be real, that is much easier than accepting the unknown and accepting the true lack of control we had over the situation. It is facing this fact though that allows for

Defining Life Through Choices

 Life is a crazy thing, what's crazier is how we each define the course we take through it. Often times we categorize our lives by the bigger more obvious choices, for instance taking a job, going back to school, getting married, having children etc. If we created a road map of our lives on paper it would likely consist of big landmark choices. Is it truly those big choices however that sum up our lives? Is it really those land mark sized choices that got us where we are today and propel us further into the future? I'd like to argue that they are not. Every day, every moment we are faced with choices, big and small choices. Perhaps the most seemingly miniscule choices are in fact the most monumental. When you start your day, what thoughts do you allow into your head? How do you nurture your mind, body and soul when you rise and when you begin to settle down for the day? How do you choose to interact with those around you, how do you speak to them? How do you speak to yourself,

Write Your Story

 It’s been over a year since I have last written and I can honestly say it has been quite the year. Writing is an outlet unlike any other, it creates doors to inspire, uplift and change. Perhaps the lives of others may change by the words you place on paper, however I believe the real change happens in the heart of the author. Whether it be fiction or nonfiction or a mix of both, putting the words on paper in a way that betters those around us and potentially those we will never meet aside from words meeting eyes, that changes you. It allows healing, growth, and a change of perspective on life. If there is one thing I have taken from the last year, it is that we are all the author of our own stories, we all have tales dying to be told inside of us, fighting to be born into paper. There is nothing in life that a change in perspective and a plan cannot conquer, we are only as limited as the limits we put on ourselves. Change stands directly in front of all of us, the question is not if i
