Started my journey

So I have started my law school studies, and the journey to get here was no joke. I didn't end up going to school in the city that I had planned, but God had his own plans. Being a 1L is tough, but I am trusting the process because I know what is on the other side if I remain steadfast and prayerful. I'll keep you updated.

Law School Update

Ill be attending law school in Boston Massachusetts this Fall. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I have never even visited the city. Any support or  suggestions on things to do , places to visit, or food to eat are welcome. Support @  gofund.me/helptika Change is constant, I must embrace it.

God works in mysterious ways

He is exceedingly and abundantly amazing. He is the Alpha and the Omega. My only beginning and my only and. His Word says "good things come to those who love the Lord.  He is our Savior Jesus Christ sent to Earth by God to save us from sin. I shall not worry. Last night I was speaking to a Muslim friend of mine from college and I expressed to her my concerns about being able to grow in my faith the way she has grown since we graduated and she's been married. She told me that all praise goes to God. She refused any of the credit. All she did was ask him to help her and he did. He also sent someone who would be able to help her for life, her husband. I know that I'm still a work in progress but I'm trying. I know that trying isn't good enough though. I'll have to do the things I need to do to reap the benefits I desire. In the intermission between one phase of life and the next there's always chaos. People sometimes lose their way to their blessings because t...

Day 7- Where can you find God?

Big blessings can come in very simple packages. Yesterday I had lunch with some amazing people. One of my friends spoke about his introduction to ministry. He mentioned a game he would play where you are asked to identify God's presence in seemingly meaningless stituations or objects. The game is simple: Rule #1 Ask yourself where do I see God in this? Many times as a young follower of Christ I find it difficult to judge whether my behavior aligns with God's Word. My friend today reminded me that our God is omnipresent. In order to get the right answers you have to ask the right question. The right questions are not who, what, when, where, how, why. The one and only question that need to be asked for clarification is where do I see God in this? I was used as an example how to play the game. He pointed to a cup in front of me, but continued  explain the situation at hand. At that time I thought to myself that this silly game. But as I continued to contemplate his speech with ...

I AM THIRSTY... Water gives me Strength

LIVING WATER There was this little seed And in a garden it was sowed It had the warmth of the sun But it needed water to grow. Now this very seed was watered By the raindrops that fell from the sky It was even given water By many people who walked by. Even though it was given plenty of water This kind of water was never enough For you see this seed's heart was dry And it was also very tough. Now one day a stranger walked by And poured a different kind of water on top This seed was so excited That it absorbed every last drop. For the water this stranger gave Was not of an ordinary kind It didn't cost the seed a thing Not even one thin dime. This water was living water That Christ gave to the women at the well This water was the gift of eternal life And this water is free and not for sale. This poem is an open invitation A gift from God to you from me You are a seed that needs this living water And you can have life with Christ in eternity. "For God so loved the world, tha...

Strength to make Choices- I AM PROACTIVE

     The title of this post has perplexed me for some time now. Never in a million years did I think it took strength to make choices. All I thought it took was wise council and risk analysis, but I am learning that while those two things are important when making choices the most important part of the choice making process is  having the strength to live with the choices you make.       I believe that everyone is put on this earth for a reason and that no matter what one does you will end up where you were always supposed to be. You where destined to be there and no one else. God writes amazing stories for our lives(hence the name of my blog).  For many years I struggled with learning how to navigate this world as a triple minority. In high school I thought I found the answer, and that answer was be proactive not reactive. While I truly believe that is the answer to most problems, I now realize that at that point in my life I was to immatu...

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...
