Beautiful Day!

The Weather has been incredibly beautiful for this time of year. Today is the official first day of spring. Spring is my favorite season! Not just because I was born in spring(wink), but the weather is gorgeous, and I like that everything comes to life and looks amazing.Flowers, green grass, cool breezes, walks in the park, relaxing outside, and beautiful sunshine are a few things that contribute to this awesome time of year. As my last semester in college winds down, I get to not only celebrate and reflect on achievements and endurance, but I'll also cross the finish line while enjoying my favorite time of year.

Blessings,

Dany

Direction

I'm at a point in my life where I am seeking divine direction. I believe we all have a purpose, and it is important for us to seek out that purpose. How does one seek direction and purpose? This would be answered in many ways by many different people. My answer is: prayer. I have faith that through prayer and obedience, the Lord will reveal his plans for us. The word of God tells us in Jeremiah 29:11, " For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." God is very much concerned about our future. I believe many of us only think the Lord is concerned about us giving our lives to him, living as a Christian should, but everything else is left up to us. While we all have free will to do as we please, God does have plans for us. We have to learn those plans, and again, through prayer and obedience, we have hope for the future as those plans are uncovered.

I spoke with a Pastor yesterday at church, and he prayed over my friend and I. He let us know that this period that we are in is very crucial for our spiritual,mental,physical,and emotional growth. He let us know that many things will come against us, but we have to stand boldly and confidently in the word of God. I can see that the LOrd is gradually revealing to me what he has planned for me...in the meantime, I'll be walking in prayer, obedience, and love.

Peace and Blessings,

Amazing

Greetings All,

I've come across some of her spoken word before, and I wanted to share with you all an amazing poet/lyricist, Janette. Janette works closely with P4CM( Passion 4 Christ Movement) to spread the truth of the word of God through amazing poetry. In this particular poem she discusses how to be a Proverbs 31 woman(virtuous) in today's society. She has another amazing poem "I will wait for You" that you can check out @ your own leisure. I hope it blesses you as much as it has blessed me.

Peace and Blessings,

Dany

Recovery

After almost a week of not feeling well, I can see sunshine! lol. I actually opened my curtain and allowed God's beautiful light to shine in my room today. After that, one of the first things I did this morning was strip my bed of all blankets,sheets,pillow case,etc. I also gathered all clothing items, towels,etc used during my period of sickness. I threw those items in the washing machine asap. It felt good to get out of bed......REALLY good. As I mentioned in my other post, being sick definitely makes one appreciate being well. Who'd ever thought I'd be sooo excited to wash clothes? lol. I'm praying that I have complete strength asap, as I am on break this week. I don't want  to spend another week in my room trying to recover....it's time to get out and smell the flowers...well, no flowers yet, but there's still fresh air....or @ least more fresh than the "sick" atmosphere of my room for the past week. ha ha :-)

Peace and Blessings,

Things We take For Granted....

I know the idea of "taking things for granted" is nothing new and pretty cliche, but it's definitely a common occurrence for many people. I think we have to constantly remind ourselves of the things we should be grateful for. My mom always says "count your blessings," and she couldn't be more right! Of course, it would be impossible to sit and count every single blessing. Speaking for myself, God has been beyond good to me. I'm not deserving, but yet he still blesses me. This makes me want to go out and live a life that is pleasing to him.....

I have been trying to recover from a cold/virus/fever for about 3 days now. Not a good feeling. The sore throat has been the worst part. I don't remember EVER having a sore throat this painful/irritating. I've been tossing,turning,and groaning throughout the night and day. I have been trying to stay hydrated, drinking water, tons of green tea w/lemon,honey,and peppermint.I've had soup and chili when my appetite came back. sigh. Moments like these make me appreciate being well. I've been on a health and fitness tip lately, and I've been telling myself that as soon as I feel better I'm going to leap for joy....literally! lol. I'm on spring break next week, so I have plenty of time to recuperate. I pray you all have been well :-) Ttyl

Psalm 34:19 "The righteous may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken."
