A Woman's best friend: Life UPDATE Part 1 2016-present

I can't believe it has been over a year since I posted here. I am so so sorry. So many things have happened in the past year. I moved apartments, states, law schools, and got a puppy. It is official. Once I finish my last final next Friday I will be a 3L.  Coincidentally, I did not know if I would be saying this so soon after what happened a couple of months ago. My former law school the Charlotte Law School got into so much trouble with the government that I did not feel confident I could trust the school itself with my legal education,so I left this past December. The transition was difficult. Colleagues, friends, and classmates all torn apart in the blink of an eye. I continue to believe that I am blessed. I found a school that accepted me and everything I came with. Everything works out how it is supposed to because now I am confident that this school and its network will place me on the trajectory necessary for me to be the best advocate I can be. To back track, I got a...

Watch where you are going

Hello Again, My last few videos were posted to allow my viewers to be entertained through great expression. I did this    because I needed inspiration. My mind has been so full lately.The past few months have not been the easiest, but they have also not been the hardest. The current chapter of my life will be ending in about 22 days. I have already completed my two years with TFA, and now I am trying to make it to law school. This road to greatness is filled  with challenges. Then again I am reminded again of the question posed by a dear friend: Where can I see God in all of this? The answer is simple really now that I think about it. Frederick Douglass said it best in his Emancipation of  West India Speech:       " The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. The conflict has been exciting, agitating, all-absorbing, and for the time being, p...

When it rains it Pours

As some of you may or may not know in April 2015 I was in a very serious car acciendent that has left my life in shambles. I have lost so many things that I worked hard to earn. For example, My brand new handicap modified truck, 5 pay checks and the chance to recieve summer optional pay. which is a lost of almost $10,000 that I was going to use to move, and  It is because I do not have a car that I do not have a way to secure a summer job to try and recover lost funds. My roommates have moved, so I have no transportation.  I have also lost my lawyer and insurance benefits because of the high front end cost of legal fees. I had a plan that was flushed down the toilet. I believe that there is God with a son named Jesus that died for my sins, and he promised to always care and protect me. I know that I will make it to law school. The only thing standing in my way is securing housing in Boston. Im selling mostly everything that I own but that wont be enough. I am raising money to ...

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...
