WHAT KIND OF LIGHT ARE YOU SHINING?

2012-04-04T13:51:00.002-07:00

Today I am encouraged even more to live a life that is pleasing to God. I have been reflecting on this scripture. "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us," Hebrews 12:1 Which to me means that we have to be careful not to put God to an open shame. As a christian I can't walk around selfishly only thinking about me, myself and I and not caring about what the world thinks. As a christian I have learned that the world is watching me but most importantly God is watching me!! So I have an obligation not only to live for God but for those who are watching me. The bible says, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matthew 5:16. Your light may be the only light a person sees and causes them to follow Christ. What kind of light are you shining?? Does your light encourage others to Christ?? Or does your light turn others from Christ?? I have also learned that I have to be careful as a christian of the company I keep, the places I go, etc. It all adds up. If you surround yourself with negative people or people who are of bad influence that are not for living a life committed to Christ, theres a great chance of some of the energy rubbing off on you!! Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful." Psalms 1:1. I also have to be careful of the places I go. If I decide to go to parties/clubs because I am made up of flesh i'll probably give in to some stuff that I normally wouldn't do because of the atmosphere. Also ever heard of the saying "at the wrong place at the wrong time?" I'd hate to be caught in the line of fire on the dancing floor getting down when I knew in my heart that I should have been at bible study that night!! Although the pleasures of the world may seem so enticing I have to remember that God must get the glory out of everything I do. And sometimes that means real hard sacrifice. "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him." James 1:12. Sometimes sacrifices hurt and their hard, but the reward is great!! My goal everyday is to grow stronger in Christ. I want people to see God in me. And at the end of my race I want to hear well done my good and faithful servant. Choose to do good!! Don't fight against good, fight against evil!! Your are strong and you can do it!!

JEALOUSY

2012-03-15T18:29:00.000-07:00

Hey guys so on Tuesday night I went to Bible Study. The topic tonight was "Having The Right Motive" taken from 1 Samuel 17:53-58 ; 1 Samuel 18:1-15 In summary for those who dont know this scripture it when David had slew the philistine and returned unto King Saul. King Saul didn't know who he was so he asked David who he was. David answered and told him that he was the son of Jesse. Now King Saul had a son named Jonathan and when Jonathan met David the scripture said that his soul was knit with David which meant he had a connection with David the scripture also went on to say that Jonathan loved David as his own soul. Can you imagine that?? Such love for someone that you could love them as your own soul!! Now Jonathan later goes on to make a covenant between him and David. Jonathan then went on to strip himself of his robe!! Now ladies and gentlemen this wasn't just any robe, it was a princely robe because remember he was a prince and his father was King Saul!! He not only gave David his robe but his garments, his sword, bow and girdle!! Now time had passed and David and Saul came back and as they arrived women began to sing and dance and make music. Im sure Saul was enjoying the praises of the women but not for long because as the music was playing they began to say " Saul had slain his thousands and David his ten thousands". This made Saul furious because he noticed David was favored by the people. Saul began to make plans to have him killed. Now in all of this Saul had no reason to be jealous whatsoever. He was already King!! He had the throne. And as far as I'm concerned he shouldn't have looked down upon David because they pretty much grew up the same way. David was the son of Jesse a shepherd and Saul was the son of Kish who raised donkeys. Now who should have been jealous was Jonathan!! Because Jonathan was next in line for the throne and David was not only known to have killed ten thousands but he was favored among the people and now he was a son-in-law because he married Michal Saul's daughter. But Jonathan had a different mentality. Jonathan was humble he didn't boast and he had a love for David so strong that he went as far as to put his life on the line and warn him about his own father Saul. He warned him that he was after him to kill him. Now this doesn't make sense right? The reason why Saul wanted to kill David was because he was afraid of him. David had the spirit of the God with him and the spirit of God had left Saul. Jonathan had the spirit of God with him that's why Jonathan wasn't jealous or envious over David. I could read the scripture over and over and get a new message and a different insight every time but when I read this today it made me think that there will be people who already have it all and have no reason to not like you but will still be jealous over you and hate you. Saul had it all but still wanted to kill David. It also led me to see how precious the spirit of God is. That when it leaves someone who had it and they see it being manifested in someone else they would be so jealous of it that they would be willing to take that persons life over it. All in all the spirit of God is very precious don't take it for granted.

(This is my insight)

THINGS IM CRAVING TO ADD TO MY CLOSET

THINGS IM CRAVING TO ADD TO MY CLOSET by jenilletaylor featuring h&m dresses

So I have decided that from now on I want to add quality pieces to my wardrobe. Pieces that I can wear multiple ways and get many uses out of. These are just a few that I have my eye on :)

I'M GOING NATURAL!!

2012-02-06T20:24:00.000-08:00

So i've been debating back and forth about if I should get another relaxer or go natural. I've decided that want to go natural!! I've been telaxing my hair for quite some time now so I said what the heck I think i'm just going to cut out getting a relaxer all together and go natural. My only thing is I don't want to do the BIG CHOP and cut off all my hair :( So I decided i'm going to transition. Which means that I will not be cutting off all my hair but, growing it out and cutting off about 1 to 2 inches of my relax ends every couple months. I will be doing this until my natural hair grows out to a length that I feel comfortable with. I also feel that transitioning will give me the option that just in case I feel like I cant do it anymore I wont be angry that I cut off all my hair. The reason I have decided to go natural is because I feel like the chemicals in the relaxer are starting to take a toll on my hair. It feels as if my hair is getting thinner and thinner and I don't want to be 40 one day and wake up one morning and be bald or just have a few strings of hair on my head. I want to have my natural hair texture back and have the versatility of having it curly or straight if I want without chemicals. Now I'll tell you this I love straight hair!! so I will be using heat on my hair to straighten it but I'm making sure to use good heat protectors. I attached a photo below of the last time I took a picture of my hair length which was November 24th. Due to my lack of taking caring for it and most likely has broken off a bit now. But I plan on probably going to the hair dresser next week and getting a treatment and hopefully getting a good even cut because my ends are so damaged though!!

IM BACK AGAIN

REORGANIZING MY CLOSET SPACE

2011-04-19T21:43:00.000-07:00

So right now i'm in the process of redecorating/reorganizing my closet . I've been sorting through my clothing and noticed I just have way too much clothing and not enough space. So I toke out everything and sorted them into piles of what to keep, what to give away/donate, and what to just throw out. Here are some things i've purchased that I think are essentials for helping to keep a great, neat, organized closet.

Slim Line Hangers!!

They are SUPER slim which means they save you a lot of space in your closet. Also, your clothes will not slide off of them, they protect your clothes unlike plastic or wire hangers that can snag and rip your clothing and they come in a range of different colors. These are a MUST HAVE in my closet!!

Acrylic Shelf Dividers

They are clear and they are create for separating your sweaters or clutches/purses, etc. Keeps everything in line instead of all over the place on your shelves.

Boxes

I have several and I use them to store different things like for example large ones for my hats and hair accessories, scarves and more and small ones for little things like my sunglasses. Some people prefer baskets but I prefer boxes with lids therefore it helps prevent dust from gathering on the items.

Just a few things that are not expensive that will make your closet so much organized and help you to actually find things when you need them :)

IM BACK

2011-04-16T16:32:00.000-07:00

Hey guys i'm back!!! I've been gone for so long. I've been pretty busy and caught up and I also had some issues with my previous laptop, etc. Well I've recently purchased a new laptop and its the 13-inch MacBook Pro to be exact and I must say i'm officially in love. I've always heard people talk about it but never really care too much about it. But I made up in my mind that I wanted to get a laptop that was going to do everything I wanted and also serve me for a while and i'm happy I made the choice to go ahead and purchase one. Now i'm thinking of purchasing the ipad so that I can something much smaller and portable to carry in my bag, etc wherever i'm going.

Stay tuned. I have lots of new interesting things coming soon :)
