I’m currently sitting on the couch, at my mother & stepfather’s home outside of Maysville. & decided to go ahead & kick off this new week, this fresh start, this chance at life for another day-another week, with an encouraging & spiritual post. The song I tagged is a gospel song that I am absolutely in love with *and am currently listening to while typing this new post* As most of you know, I was raised in the church, I never had options about going to church on Sunday, or participating in worship at my church- from praise dancing, playing the piano, singing, reading scriptures, attending Sunday school & bible school, helping with anything I was told to do- I was always an obedient follower of Christ & learned about Jesus at a young age- although that DOES NOT MAKE ME PERFECT. & more than ever, right now- I have been disobedient to what Jesus Christ wants from me- He literally needs more of me, more undivided attention from me & for me to reach deeper into His Love. I haven’t lost touch with the Lord but sometimes, we stray away a bit & sometimes it feels too far but if you’re a Christian & even if you’re not a Christian, when God needs to bless you, teach you a lesson or reveal something to you then He’ll pull you right back in where He needs you to be. & that is exactly what God has done for me this weekend of being home. Friday night I spent my evening at Good Friday service & learned so much but the bottom line was Jesus’s unconditional love is seriously what I need most right now as I am anxiously chasing my biggest goal/dream. Saturday I also spent time at church worshipping through song at choir rehearsal with my home church’s young adult choir which I have been a member of since I was like 8 years. That choir rehearsal just lifted my spirit so much & there’s no place I could have received such a touch from the Lord. Sunday morning at 6am, my mother ministered at my home church’s Sunrise Service & besides the fact that she always taught me about Jesus, I’m just lucky & blessed that she is my mom because she is someone that I strive to be like in a few aspects. Sunday I attended Resurrection church service at 11am as usual & God has just got me right where he needs me to be for these next few months & for my future & I’m so incredibly overwhelmed with joy for what God is about to do in my life. I know that my Hallelujah certainly belongs to You God! You deserve it!

Okay so many many years ago, my mom introduced me to this story.. a couple of years after that, I read the story aloud at my church's 6am Easter Sunrise Service... I'm currently up blogging on this Easter Sunday as my mom prepares to deliver her Sunrise Service mini-sermon in a few hours... EVERY EASTER, I think of this story & it replays in my mind; such a heartwarming, amazing, eye-opening story. Definitely a MUST-READ

There are people that you can't do life without & they brighten your life in a significant way; I call them friends 💛

Just want to brag on my friends & tell them how much I love them, for a moment if y'all don't mind... Kelcie: MY FAVORITE upcoming 2017 college graduate & my favorite artist, thank you for never turning your back & being the absolute realest BEST SISTER-FRIEND since 1994. Like me, you have held your own & killed college not allowing any illness hold you back. & I believe that our strength comes from us being raised together! You have truly shown me how important it is to have an A1 since day 1. You're far more than my best friend, you're my sister. This year will be absolute bliss for you; the light at the end of your tunnel is literally 4 weeks away 💖 Tiara: Since 7th grade you have been my flashlight in a dark tunnel, you seriously guide me like a big sister or a momma lol & these past 7 months being your roommate has made me appreciate, a thousand times more, the fact that you are MY BEST FRIEND: you've knocked on my bedroom door to wake me up when I wanted to sleep in & not tackle a day of productivity lol, you've listened to my pity parties, my silly stories, my stress & gave me laughs & amazing advice, like you always have since 7th grade. You have undoubtedly been my backbone here recently & I'm grateful. 💕 Stephanie: My UK bestie, you have shown me so much these past two years, that has made me realize that growth is both external & internal. Watching you become a mommy & watching you tackle new responsibilities has been the best front row seat I've ever experienced. You love me, nurture me & read me for my worth like a big sister. Having a blunt friend like you is what everyone in this world needs. You've shown me that reciprocity makes some of the greatest friendships- I got you & you got me no matter how many silly sister arguments we have. I know, with you, I always have "a hitta to the left of me" 💞 Paden, Jazzmine: y'all two, to me, are like the friends everyone wants lol I'll explain very briefly: a 2LT & a law school student. You both became my very close friends at a perfect time & I wouldn't have it any other way, you both motivated me during my senior year of college & that speaks enough for itself. The laughs, the advice, & memories in the short amount of time exposed to me the true definition of "lifelong friends you meet in college" Y'all are dope! ❤️ Sabrina: you have made it very clear that when you say something you actually mean it even if I argue with you lol. It seems like we met so long ago which we did but you being my first friend at UK is more meaningful to me than you will ever know, you taught me how to be unapologetically me no matter how many people like it or don't like it. You are undeniably a true friend, a great mommy & all around a genuine individual. 💙 Hannah, Tierra: y'all have taught me that new friends are okay to be forever friends.. I never enjoyed letting people into my life as friends until I met you two. The fact that I can confide in you both no matter our length of time being friends is something so real. Thanks for being the loving little sisters that keep me laughing 💛 &last but not least, Zekey man: the old PIMP that turned into someone's future hubby: you've shown me that throwing away old ways & changing for the better is necessary at this time in life. You make me so proud to be your best gal pal, Zekey & your best interest will always be somewhere at the top of my list. Having a blunt GUY friend isn't something that everyone gets but I'm super blessed. Thanks for being you & nothing less.
