Realizations/Decisions of the day...
I) 10 years ago-I was a freshman in high school. YIKES
II) My little cousin [Sophisticated Insanity] will be graduating from High School in June. DOUBLE YIKES
—I mean it was just 2006, when we had reconnected and she was graduating from middle school…MIDDLE SCHOOL. Oh Man! P.S I’m a terrible person, I miss her terribly and I haven’t seen her in months. Must Chance ASAP

So much for that
Recently, I started a new ‘invite-only blog called Naked: Mind, Heart, Soul. It’s basically supposed to be all the things that I struggle with, think about, etc. But as I write in my physical journal, I thought “I’m definitely not putting this on the blog”, and I realized how am I suppose to be transparent when I’m deliberately withholding things from people...
Definition of me - Mandisa
Everybody’s got an opinion Of what they want me to be Everybody’s got a condition That I may never meet So tired of looking in the mirror It always says the same thing I want to be about something different Something more than the mirror can see Like joy, peace Alive in me When it comes to my identity Chorus: I want the love I want the light I want the beauty On the...
Little Ms. Know It All Complex... SIKE!!!
thoughtsofpeace:
I have this disease… its debilitatingly refreshing. You see I feel the need to be the Ms. Know it all. Its a curse because once I make that declaration then I feel people expect me to be an expert. Examples:: 1) saying “I’m an English Education major” turns you into the human dictionary and the editor of all things written. Confession:: I use spell check for text messages, red...

In truth
I just want to hurry up and be a real adult already.
You know, real job, own place, a degree, etc.
Um.. are grad students considered real adults?? hmm

Lessons In Humble Worship
Humility is the most prominent feature of Heaven from our perspective as believers. Every believer we see in Heaven is constantly doing one thing over and over—falling on their faces before an Awesome God who alone is the One to be worship-worthy, adoration-receiving, and humility-receiving.
Paul described true believers as humble-worshipers? Those two, humility and worship seem to be tied.

Hello Leake & Watts, Goodbye Foster Parent Advocacy Foundation, Inc
I haven’t heard from my FPA supervisor in a while, even after I called and left msgs [which is strange]. But now I need to speak to her particularly because I just got a new placement @ Leake & Watts (which unlike FPA offers credits toward my degree as well as potential future job oppertunities).
I hope she...

I wanna be in Jamaica… I just feel like driving to Pavilion or Manor Park Plaza… or taking a drip trip to Burwood beach in Trelawny (you know, since I won’t have to worry about drowning or anything.)

and not tell anyone for like a week.
why?
don’t want to be found, annoyed, stressed, etc.
I will change my # though maybe not soon but I will and a lot less people will have it. I just hope my friends treat my # like I treat theirs.

I finished the fourth chapter in Francis Chan’s Crazy Love. My first thought was, guilty as charged! My second thought: What made me buy this book?! Third thought: This is God’s way of saying “It’s time for an oil change.”
I can’t get past chapter 2. I keep stopping and just soaking it up. Man, there are no mistakes with God. I was supposed...
