Thanks to All My Friends & Family!!!!

The dinner was so much fun! Even though we were all on our best behavior; I truly enjoyed myself. The dinner was at the Riverview restaurant in Long Island City by the East River. It was freezing! But I had a great time. To be surrounded by friends and love ones who I can have been there for me through it all was truly humbling. Here are some pics. I have church in the morning, so talk to you later.

The Day Is Here.......

The dinner is tonight. It’s 4:00pm and already enough drama has happened that I just want to climb into bed and stay there; but God is good! I am so excited! I have my vintage red Saks Fifth Avenue dress, my Grecian headband, my grandma’s necklace (may she rest in piece) and I am ready to eat, eat and eat! I never set up a dinner before and I hope it goes off without a hitch. Into you hands, I place this dinner….lol. Well, keep me in prayer. I am exhausted. I have to make sure I look awake for all those pictures that will be plastered all over Facebook.

Happy Quarterlife to Me!

It’s my Birthday!!!!!!! I am so excited and sooo blessed! I thank You Lord for allowing me to see another day and another year. I also thank all my friends and family who continued to keep me in my prayers; and those who prayed for me when I didn’t even know they were doing so. I feel so humble and so grateful that God has allowed me of all people to see another day; another year. I am forever grateful and in awe of His mercies and grace. I thank God for allowing me to se 25 years, and if it be His will 75 more! Lol. I close chapters and leave the past in the past. I move forward; there’s no looking back. I played Damita Haddon’s song “No Looking Back” this morning on my way to work. It really speaks to me. The song goes like this: “I am leaving this place now; letting go of all my fears, saying good-bye to the memory I hold dear. I can finally breathe again; it’s a new day fair well past, as I close this chapter I set free at last- I made up my mind, there’s no turning back. The past is behind me, there’s no looking back. I’m looking forward not behind; I’ve made a decision, I give you my life. - Every step I take is new. I found courage to go on; though it’s rough sometime I still have to be strong. I may have to walk alone, but the One who lives inside me is always there to comfort and to guide…..” I love this song! Lol. I am truly blessed!

One Day Away!!!!!!!

Tomorrow’s my 25th Birthday! I am sooo excited! I have my dress, looking for my shoes; confirm the reservations at the restaurant, etc, etc, etc. I am just looking forward to seeing a new year! I have learned to take nothing for granted; tomorrow id promised to no one. I have a lot of growing and learning to do and I ask God to lead me every step of the way. Pray for me and be blessed!

Measured and Found Lacking....

I haven’t blogged for a whole month! I am sooooo sorry! I am going to keep you up to date:

This month was our 32nd Church Convention (October 11th-18th, 2009). The theme was: “Stir Up the Gifts that is Within You” from 2 Timothy 1:6. It was an awesome week! The week before was praying and then I had to prepare our church newsletter/magazine called “Endeavor” for it. I have been so busy with it that I barely had any sleep.

My birthday dinner is at the Riverview in Long Island City, Queens. The guest list started out at 30 but now might be around 17-20. I would like for it to be an intimate affair but we’ll see. While I’m on the topic of the birthday dinner, a certain someone maybe a no show. But the dinner isn’t for him, it’s for me. You don’t turn 25 everyday.


My dress!!!!!! Where do I begin? I didn’t get in contact with my dress maker so I will have to buy a dress; the problem is that I don’t see any dresses that I like! Oh woe is me! I did see this awesome dress at H&M but we’ll see.

Dance- I am so humble and blessed that the Lord has allowed me to lead the Dance Ministry at my church. The vision has grown and I will be supervising 3 dance ministries. God is so good! I went to a Praise Dance Seminar today and was so blessed! I am so excited for the next chapter.

My relationship- My relationship with God is showing me that I could be sooo much further but I am holding myself back. I have found lacking and it’s time to get to work. I realize that we as Christians are always silent while other groups shout their beliefs and lifestyles from the hilltops; it’s time to stand unashamed!
There are areas that I am lacking in but I learned in my weakness His strength is shown.


My 25th Year a.k.a My Quarterlife- I am determined to end ties, and severe things in my life that are not of God and hinder my growth. It’s time to stand and stand for all to see. I have to make sure my lifestyle echos my words. It’s a new season; there’s no turning back. Also, I am back in Bible School! I started General Bible Survey 1. It’s a lot of work!

I hope that you guys have been blessed; I apologize for such a gap in my blogging. There has been so much on my plate lately. Be blessed.

Throwing Me For A Loop

I don’t know anymore. I get content with one thing and next thing you know; it changes. I really think God has a really weird sense of humor sometimes. I think He just looks down and entertains Himself with us sometimes. Seriously, I don’t think that but it feels like it occasionally. I am going Wednesday to check out Brasserie 44, View in Times Square Marriot Marquise, JoJo, and Montenapo. I am so excited. I am going to be 25! I am so blessed! God is so good and I feel like I am constantly saying that but it’s true.
