Be Encouraged
Sometimes you have to encourage yourself. Sometimes you have to speak victory during the test.
...remember Giants, they do fall. ...Encourage yourself in the Lord.
As I make my way back to Valdosta from Athens on a Sunday morning, I listened to V103. Now honestly, I was not even going to listen to it but my ls/roommate turn the radio on. So I was like okay cool, I guess I will listen to Gospel music for 4 hrs. I didn't want to do it because I was already tired and didn't need "boring" music to make me more tired. However as we were riding, Be Encouraged by Donald Lawrence came on. As I listened to the song, it spoked volumes to me. Now I've heard it before but for some reason I felt in my Spirit that song was for me to hear. So I'm like yes this is it! And honestly, I was even thinking: this will make a good blog post. But as I write this now, it is more than a blog post and how dare I be selfish enough to have thought writing this will make for a good read. Because as I write now, I've realized that it is more of a wake up and get moving call.
For that very moment I knew that I needed to hear that song. I already wasn't going to make it to church because of the trip. So hearing that song did it. I didn't know why I needed to hear that song till this very moment. Once I got back to Valdosta, I checked my email. I've been applying for jobs and wanted an update. However when I checked it, I received bad news. But I thought about it, Be Encouraged.
I figured it was God's way of testing me after I said my couple of words. And immediately became mad at myself for allowing the devil to be able to defeat me. And though I feel like I have failed part of test, I'm determined that I can pass the rest. God wants me to get my feet wet, I'm sure. So like a mother bird who pushes her babies out of the nest, God is teaching me how to fly. I'm happy for the realization, but now I know I must work towards my goal. I feel like I'm finally at a place where I know the purpose of my life (well at least part of it). And it's my time to work (no pun intended). I thank Him for the revelation.
I also am constantly playing the sermon that I heard 2wks ago. Never been to the church where I heard it, so I know that Sunday I was there for a reason. What was it? If the world can get what they want/need then what makes you think that you, God's child, cannot get what you deserve? So I must speak over myself and call things how they should be and not how they are.
Be Blessed and Stay Encouraged,
B!

PS: I heard the song again watching Sunday's Best & mind you, I never watch Sunday's Best but did because my ls wanted to watch it & was paying me a visit. So I know because of that, what God has for me is for me. I just have to be encouraged.

Start Over--Beyonce
I feel weak, we've been here before
Cuz I feel we keep going back and forth
Maybe it's over, maybe we're through
But I honestly can say
I still love you
Maybe we reached the mountain peak
And there's no more left to climb
And maybe we lost the magic peace
And we're both too blind to find
Let's start over
Let's give love their wings
Let's start over
Stop fighting about the same old thing
Let's start over
We can't let our good love die
Maybe we can start all over
Give love another life
I can see that we're not happy here
So why would we keep pretending that there's nothing there
Maybe you like it, well I don't
And maybe you'll settle, well I won't
Maybe we reached the mountain peak
And there's no more left to climb
And maybe we lost the magic peace
And we're both too blind to find
Let's start over
Let's give love their wings
Let's start over
Stop fighting about the same old thing
Let's start over
We can't let our good love die
Maybe we can start all over
Give love another life
I know that this will hurt you
I know you'll cry
I know I called you selfish but that's a lie
I feel I know what's the best for us
Let's start over!
Let's give love the wings
Let's start over
I'm tired of fighting 'bout the same old thing
Let's start over
We both know that this love won't die
Maybe we can start over
Give love another life
**Beyonce Lyrics are giving me Life! SMH..it's ridiculous..**

Lemongrass Day Spa Update
So I just checked my mailbox and I must say that I approve Lemongrass Day Spa! I have not been back yet because of financial reason, but hopefully I will be able to go back within the next two weeks. They sent me a thank you card! That is definitely customer service! The thank you card was hand written by the owner, who also performed my microdermbrasion.
Within the letter:
An advertising magnet
A two-sided lamented coupon for $10 off any hour service and a one free appetizer and/or one glass of wine from Two Friends Cafe' & Market [which is right beside them and I saw it and was like I have to check them out!
And a sample that is suppose to increase firmness around the eyes.
If this isn't customer service at its best then I do not know what is!
This is definitely the type of stuff that makes you want to come back! It's almost like I feel obligated to and I cannot wait!
Love me, B!

Little Quote
I was reading my old, old post and I ran across a quote that I not only live by but it's a quote that I made about 2/3 years ago. [I use to have a thing for making my own quotes..I wonder where my little notebook is with all the quotes I made..]
Anyway..
Everyday is Motivation to do Better.

Living
So many people daily say something along these lines:
Don't waste your life doing nothing.
Live a little.
Live before you die.
Some people are just living to die; some are dying to live.
My point? Everyday people talk about how spontaneous one's life should be. But who is that person to define spontaneous? Who is that person to tell someone else they are not living? Who is ithat person to tell other people that they are boring, and they should live a little? Or better yet: what is "living"?
People's definitions vary. So what may be fun to you, may not necessarily be fun for me.
Who can define your happiness? No one should, except for you.
So what other people define as living, it may not be for you. It may not be your cup of tea. Just as you define your own happiness, define your own way of living.
What is living for me? Exploring. I want to explore the world. And I will. I am so glad I finally know what my definition of living is. Do you?

Silent Comments
Hey loves!
I would just like to say that I read some blogs that I would love to comment on, but when I go to comment..it goes bonkers! It tells me to sign in although I am already signed in and in the end..my comments never go through. And this is on more than one computer/laptop that I have tried. And it makes me sad. :(
So just know that I read posts and even try to comment but can't. Please don't take it as rude or anything else.
Anyways..outtie! <3
Love me,

Fixing your Situation
Want to make God laugh? Try telling Him your plans.
God fixes things that you thought you could fix yourself. So while you are busy fixing your situation, God is busing fixing what you are trying to fix so that everything can be fixed. :)
Moral of the story: Let God have for you what is for you. Don't go around making the situation what you want to make it. Instead, pray about it and let Him lead you into the direction that He wants for you.
Love me,
B!

Finding Your Happy Place
Every time my supervisor gets fustrated or stressed..she says one word: Beliz.
Beliz is a place she would love to go once she retires...and is her place of relaxation.
So I say..it's time for me to find a nice, exotic resort where I would love to go to for a get-a-way every time life gets stressful. Once I find it, I will randomly call out the name as she does as a reminder that there will be less stressful times. As a reminder that there is a place to get a way from all the hustle and bustle.
That one word will cheer you up.
Love me,
B!
