I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I believe 2015 is going to be a good year as I’m growing in my faith and relationship with God and trusting him to do great things in my life, making all things new and granting me my hearts desire! Earlier today I was thinking about how in the movie Back to the Future. The future was represented as October 2015. Now that we are actually in 2015 I compared what the movie predicted 2015 to be like with how things actually are. It seems the movie had some pretty good predictions but some of the speculations were a little over the top. Talking to someone while seeing them through a screen for instance is common today with programs such as Oovoo and Skype. Though flying cars aren’t as widespread or rampant as they were in the film, There has been an invention of the flyng car. Talking/moving billboards are also common as predicted in the movie and a few other things as well. Needless to say we also have countless technological advancements that weren’t even portrayed or even thought up for the film, and in my opinion are fashion is a little better too! What do you guys think? Also what are some of your New Years resolutions? I would love to hear them just comment below! Happy New Year!!! http://abcnews.go.com/US/back-future-part-ii-scored-2015-predictions/story?id=27946920

Fix my Eyes
Hey guys, I just want to share with you that I’ve been going through some trials in my life and if you read the previous blog you’d understand why. However I have chosen to change my focus and fix my eyes on Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who promised me life more abundantly. I have slowly but surely began to notice my anxiety diminishing, my fears, hurts and regrets no longer blocking me from reaching my destination It has been through trials and tribulation that God has used me and strengthened me as I am being molded into a new being, the person he has called me to be. I’m excited about my future and enjoying every minute of my present while no longer allowing the Devil to steal my joy by focusing on past short comings and mistakes. I believe that greater is the one living inside of me than he who is living in the world and because of that I live a life knowing that the joy of the Lord is my strength. I believe my purpose in life is to use my voice for his glory through singing praises, public speaking is also what I believe my calling is in life. I battled a speech impediment when I was very young and have spent so long hiding my voice, or trying to please the world rather than God. However I’m taking charge over my life no longer allowing the enemy to shut me up because the righteous are as bold as a lion and like Katty Perry’s song, your gonna hear me roar! God has truly been moving in my life and has filled me with so much joy! If your at a turning point in your life or at the cross roads, and feel as if your playing a game of tug a war with your flesh and sinful ways versus God’s plan for your life and walking uprightly, just know that you are not alone.
When God calls for you to do something outside of your comfort zone, you should trust him and do it! Many times it’s at the end of your comfort zone when true living begins, and it’s at the toughest times when a breakthrough is right around the corner. There will be times during your transition when you may become frustrated and ask God, “why me? I’ve done your will but nothing has changed, how will I fulfill my dreams and purpose? It’s perfectly fine to ask God questions like that but just continue to trust him and endure, it will be well worth it! I went to a concert the other day, the You Matter Tour of For King and Country. In one of their songs, “Fix my eyes” they mention how the road less traveled is hard to walk, and how it takes a soldier who knows his order to walk the road he’s supposed to walk”.That song really speaks to me and I’ve chosen to fix my eyes on God his will and not my own. Where will you fix your eyes?
Anxiety
For years I have struggled with social anxiety, it has been a long hard battle and painful at times. The disorder is not easy to explain in a way for others to understand and it’s hard for the suffers to completely understand their irrational and persistent fears as well. Being shy is not the same as social anxiety, SAD is more chronic and for some makes it hard to function in normal life circumstances. Rather than going into detail about my past and present battle with SAD I’d like to just say that I’m feeling very weary and I’m ready to start actually living the life God has for me breaking free from this bondage. I know the potential I have, many outside my family don’t realize I am and extrovert and a free spirit which makes this disorder so hard for me as it inhibits my natural desires to connect with people and to interact in a way free from excessive inhibitions. I trust God will deliver me and heal me of this and that he is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above what I can ask or think, I believe he has not given me the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind yet I still feel weary and emotionally drained. I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember, making songs and playing the piano by ear since age 4.In middle school and high school I participated in many talent shows. Music has always been my passion and for some strange reason I don’t feel much anxiety when singing on stage.
I’ve also always been interested in public speaking which is ironic since I used to have a speech impediment and though I suffer from SAD I believe it’s God’s plan for my life for me to use my voice and not be kept silent. I graduate from college next year and I’m ready more than ever to start reaching my dreams and goals. Meeting the right guy for me, and to live a life anxiety free. After trying so many things I know now that I can’t do this myself I’m going to need a miracle and only God can deliver me. I also believe that faith without works is dead so I will do my part as well but ultimately God has all the power to heal me mind body and soul. I’ve also struggled with auditory processing disorder which has made school challenging for me many times I end up teaching myself the material since lectures don’t do much for me. Auditory processing disorder also makes it hard for me to understand what people are saying in a loud crowded environment like at a party or something. The pressure from all of this seems to accumulate at times and today is just one of those days. I feel discouraged, and if you’re reading this I ask you to please pray for me as I am in need of healing and a breakthrough.
Live, Love, Laugh!
In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years.
~Abraham Lincoln
This quote by Abraham Lincoln is small but speaks volumes! It is very true because when you think about it to live doesn’t necessarily mean you’re alive if you don’t take a moment to step away from the chaos and stop to smell the roses for a little while. Appreciate the beauty of nature, Indulge in something you enjoy, appreciate the small things you normally take for granted. When it all boils down, time is more valuable than money, time waits for no one so it is important to spend it wisely. Time goes by quickly so enjoy every moment of it the best you can.
If you find yourself dwelling on the hard situation you may be going through or experiencing always remember there is someone out there who is worst off than you and be grateful for what you do have which is what so many others out there wish they had. What you focus on expands so focus on the positive and it will increase your quality of life. Focus on some food for thought; What have you done for yourself lately? For others? For God? Ask yourself what choices have I made today that will impact my future and quality of life and if I consistently make these choices what will be the outcome? Most importantly LIVE, LOVE, and LAUGH!
