The Complexities of Life and the Things its Taught me... thus far

     So, I am living the dream... or so I thought. Being in law school is one of the hardest endeavors I have undertaken. I hope in the end it is all worth it. I went to an Academic Retreat for the Black Law Student Association subregion associated with my school, and it got me to thinking--I am not prepared for this at all. My whole life I have been preparing for this, but my whole life didn't prepare me. The attributes of who I am have, from what I understand, put me at a disadvantage. I am African American, a woman, and in a wheelchair.      The good thing is that the demographic at my law school is majority women. Also, there are so many diverse students and students of color. Even though we make up a majority, we are still a minority. For me as a first generation college student, I just do not have the  connections. I have decided not to complain though. I have to take a step back and realize what school is for. If everyone came to school know...

Joy to the world!!! Big news!!!!!

So, the post about my summer was a no go, but I do have some great news. I am going to law school. This is has been a long and tedious process but with God's grace and mercy I will be entering a tier 1 school in the fall to complete my legal education. Keep me in your prayers.

Day 3

Day #3 (today) I was recommended for a placement at my job interview, so that means I have a new job. God is faithful you just has to wait on him. All good things come to those who wait. #100daysofhappiness

Day 1 July 8, 2014

I have a job interview tomorrow. Two weeks to the day tomorrow would be the day that I got administratively transferred and surplus from my previous job, and tomorrow I have an interview. How ironic is that? I truly don't believe that it is irony I believe that it is God working his master plan. In exactly 3 weeks from tomorrow I start graduate school. That's five weeks total, and that is the time that it has taken me to complete my first devotional cover to cover. I completed strength for the journey a five-week devotional by Tim Wesemann today and my new journey will  begin  tomorrow. #100daysofhappiness

Rebirth 6/6/14

So, its been a long time since I have written one of these. Lately I have had the urge to write. As I sit here and type this blog I am filled with of many emotions. The biggest of these emotions is fear. The antidote for fear is movement. With that being said, there is nothing to fear but fear it self. The Lord says: Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;  in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. I have struggled with this Proverb my entire life. Trust. Trusting someone other than myself to do what needs to be done for me. It is right now that I realize that my trust issues stem for the thought of me being the only person in the world exactly like me.     I know that sounds crazy because no two people are the exact same, but in most cases people are able to find kindred spirits that are a  similar type of person. I realize too that this belief may be ill informed, but fr...
