Destiny Unfolding

I am beginning to like this Blog.  I just pray that my passion for it continues once school starts.  Just a few weeks away.  Time is moving so quickly.  My going away party is Sunday (8.21.05), I preach my final sermon at Mt. Zion (8.28.05 / 10:00 and 12:00), I pack up all my stuff up (9.4.05) and hit the road (9.6.05)  Time is a movin’ and I’m trying to keep up.

But the truth is I have such mixed emotions about this next stage in my life.  I know that this is the place which God has called me to but it is a step I need God to walk me through.  

This year my focus has been on unconditional love.  I am so glad that this is the place God wants me at right now.  This year God has reminded me that He loves me unconditionally and I in turn have been working to love others unconditionally.  But now God has made it clear that it is time for me to learn to love God unconditionally.  What I mean is that I am on my way to seminary where I may learn some truths about my living God that I may not like.  But I have to choose to love God unconditionally.  But what I love about God is that God is consistent.  Thank You!

In this season of unconditional love I am falling deeper in love with God.  
The things I do.  The things I say.  The thoughts I think.  
God is amazing and stealing my heart.  

I am dissatisfied with my discipline in my prayer life.  But I think that will get better with time and with Seminary.  Chesla and I plan to pray together on a regular basis.  So that will help.  But what I do know is that God is moving me to a place where I can’t afford to not pray.  I do notice that I am constantly in a state of Worship.  It’s wonderful.  I think in many ways this Blog will become a part of my prayer life.  I tend to write when I feel the spirit present.  And I always pray that what I write will bring Glory to God and refine me as a creation.

Well, until the next time the spirit moves…

P.S.  – I hope you get to see my pictures below.  

Preaching at OIBC

Preaching at Olivet Institutional Baptist Church. I asked the kids to come to the alter. They FLOODED the pulpit. I guess that was a good thing.

Amazing. Every time I look at this picture I feel free.

Isn't that beautiful

I took this picture outside of the Hadley's home. It had me thinking that I might have an eye for photography. As I always say, "God works in mysterious ways."

My Three SIMs (Sisters In Ministry) Quinnise, Chesla and Nicole (L to R). We had an awsome vacation.

My Hair Isn't it long. I've come so far in this year. I think the hair on my head is an indicator of my personal growth. Chesla took this picture while we had a layover in Atlanta.

Hello everyone. I am trying to get into the habit of blogging even though it is difficult. But, I think if I start now I will have the hang of it by the time school starts.

Currently, I am on vacation with my S.I.M.s/Girlfriends. We are here in beautiful Florida. I feel like we have been all over the state. We flew into Orlando, are staying in Lakeland, visited Tampa and St. Petersburg and went on a spur of the moment over night trip to Miami/South Beach. We were blessed to ride jet skis and go parasailing at John's Pass (near St. Pete's beach). We rented moped/scooters in Miami. It took some getting used to but I have determined that I MUST get a motorcycle. I loved it.

Well, got to jet its time for dinner. I will post pictures some time next week.

Hello and welcome to my blog. Over my life I have had the opportunity to meet and interact with so many different people who have touched my life and supported me. As I venture off to Princeton Theological Seminary (PTS) this fall, I wanted a way to stay in contact with everyone and keep them abreast of my new adventure. So I utilized modern day technology by establishing this here blog. I will attempt to write (at least) every Wednesday evening while school is in session.

I thought that this would be a cool way to journal my thoughts as I go through this life changing experience.

Thank your for visiting and check back in when you have some free time.

God Bless!
