The Incredible Amazing Life of "T"

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...

     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...

Dear Anybody who needs this,     Words of wisdom: Trust only in the Lord for He is the Answer to all your questions, fears, and worries. Learn from Moses: Even when you say no God says yes! There is always a way with Jesus! This is the Aumna Arch at Spelman College. I took this picture my senior year at a time when I was not sure if I WOULD GRADUATE. The myth is that current students can not walk under this arch or they will not graduate. I indeed was not under it I was behind it. From this angle you can see the beautiful campus, the fountain of love, and two of the oldest buildings on campus( also the background for the television series A Different World). Once you cross this arch on class day during grad week, your world becomes different. Endless opportunities, love, and sisterhood await. Oh what wonders Faith can bring. Thank you Lord for Helping me find my way. Shatika D. Spelman Aluma Gemini Class of 2013 Cum Laude

Yesterday I completed my first year of teaching. I was a difficult year, but I know for certain that everything worth having is worth the hard work.       I entered this journey of teaching and learning because I was afraid last year as a college senior of being rejected from law school. At the time I convinced myself that there are other ways to help people besides being a lawyer so, I created an avenue for myself to run away from what I feared and go towards something that I felt I could be successful at. I understood that there would be challenges because I was pretty sure that most people in the school district where I work, and the company that I work for had never encountered a differently-abled  person like myself.            My suspicion was true, the organization and the district where flabbergasted to say the least. I was the crucial missing piece to the puzzle that was missing from this next phase of my life. Up until t...

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...
