Dating While Differenly Abled

I am in my mid 20's now so I think its appropriate to talk about dating. I always get so nervous to breach the topic because I feel like no one will understand, but we live in a world with internet. This means that millions of people have access to this post. Its not about understanding anymore. The focus is exposure and education. I don't know what I am looking for out of this, but I do think that the content of this post is interesting. I just have a few questions that need answers. To start, What do people think about dating someone with a differing level of or limited ability? Next, What role does social media play in all of this? Then, for those who date online, how much disclosure is necessary at the onset? To follow, do people have a right to put disclosure on a need to know basis? Finally, if it matters to you, why does it matter? I really want to know what people think. I have some great things coming in the near future. Lets start the conversation. Do not fee...

Be Limitless

Just viewed the Christmas Day service live online from my from my home church in GA and the message was... Don't be afraid of who you are, Embrace how God made you, and live without limits because like Rudolph the Red nose reindeer you may be teased and talked about, but then you are called to save the day doing something that only you can do, it its you that will go down in history. This message hit home with me because I am unique among those that know me. I have mild Cere bral Palsy, I use assistive technology to walk and get around,I AM BLACK, well traveled, a Latin honor graduate of the  ‪#‎ 1HBCU‬  Spelman College, A Teach for America Alum, a first Generation College student, and now I am a law student. I embrace all the aspects of who I am. I am God's child who is blessed and highly favored. There have been many people who do not think I should be pursuing the path that I am on. They are afraid that it is too much for me to handle, or that I won't ever make it to th...

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...

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 ...

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...
