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...

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 ...

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
