Classic Weekend!!!

Hey you guys I have to tell you I had a awesome time at the Classics this previous weekend!!! I wasn't able to post anything on here about it but I have to say I took some awesome pics of both teams FAMU vs. BCU, and both school bands. For those who dont know what the classic is it's when the historically black colleges get together for a showdown on the field. I tell you there is a diversity of people there and it is a wonderful experience for all!!!

Hope to see you there next year!!!

Thanksgiving!!!

When thinking about this year, I truly have alot to be grateful for. First, for life itself. Despite the glory days and the cloudy days it's a blessing to wake up and breathe in the air of a new day, still with my sanity (most of it anyway), in tack. Second, for my family who despite small annoyances are still there, when they don't have to be. Third, that although it's been hell and high water, I'm still able to go to college when most can't. Yes, this year has been a rollercoaster, but life just wouldn't be life without the ride. This is a ride I plan to ride all the way until it stops.

Taking A Closer Look

Constantly, I think that I'm in a place where I'm not suppose to be, meeting people that (in my case) I don't feel that I'm worthy to meet. Yet, when I take a closer look at it, I am exactly where God wants me. God does not make mistakes. He doesn't give us opportunities and achievements that he doesn't want us to have. Accept where God has placed you, and what he has given to you. He will give you the land, but it's up to you to conquer it!!!

Steps Towards A Better You

Hello, there it's ya girl...Lil'Lady. I'm starting a new series on change. Change is inevitable but it's only possible when we take the steps necessary towards change. I posted a blog on my myspace page, which I will be posting here soon. But for those who want to bring change to their lives....start by taking small steps. Nothing happens overnight, but if you begin with small goals leading to that one major goal then you can do it!!! Right now my goal is to lead a healthier lifestyle. Constantly I feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and running off of pure determination. Now to me that's nothing but faith when I can keep going despite everything that's going on or the way I feel. But perseverance produces character right ? Right now I am developing a self-plan in order to achieve my goal. I'm short on cash right now so I can't just go to the store and buy all the health foods they have. But I can take my baby steps by buying one or two healthy items a week and adding them to my diet. This week I brought some salmon. Also, I brought a little bit of fruit for me to snack on or eat for breakfast as a quick meal. What are your goals ? Whatever they are write them down and plan them out. Then go for it!!!

Through the Rain

People have done the best they can to stop me from going forward. But the thing that people don't realize is that the human spirit is one of the most extraordinary strengths. God allows us to keep going even when we don't want too, because of the strength he's already placed inside each of us. You know that scripture; greater is he that is in me, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). I'm no preacher, but when I think about it I immediately feel strong. Sometimes we doubt who we are and the power we carry because people have told us that we wouldn't make it. Sometimes we've been so hurt that it's hard to let it go and see the new horizons in our lives. But that's where faith comes in. Faith makes us strong. Faith in God. Faith in yourself. Don't doubt who you are and don't doubt who you can become. Have faith.

Living Life to the Fullest!!!

Hey everyone!!! My name is Lil' Lady and I'm here to blog about life. I am a college sophmore and plan on creating a career for myself in the world of non-profit. I want to help restore the lives of the many women who are abused and the children who suffer because of it. I write as a way to heal from my own abusive relationships and episodes. Writing for me has went from being a hobby, to being therapeutic, to being a way of life. And that's what I blog about life....all the parts of it. The good , the bad, and the ugly because although people hate to admit it life can be ugly. But that's when faith comes in. When you have faith you can make it through every storm and take every blow that the winds bring. I want you to know that life is meant to be lived to the fullest!!! Whether you have money or not....you can be fully in love with you and fully love living!!! I've had to learn although I'm young that, although bad things happen each bad can be used for a good. How ? By learning from the mistakes one has made. And as I grow I hope you can grow too.....
