I just realized that I haven't posted anything in 2012. I just happened to look on my blog and while reading my previous posts, I realized most of them have something in common....Love, Relationships, Men. Wow! I guess 2011 was not my year when it came with handling men lol. I can say now I am in a much better place with that situation. Thank you Lord for that!
This year my main focus has been improving my relationship with the best friend a girl can ask for...GOD. I have been growing and I continue to grow spiritually and loving every minute of it. What made me decide to get closer to God? Honestly, I kept having this voices in my head of someone calling me to get closer to God. Everything I did, the answer lead to God. I just knew that God was trying to tell me something. I have still a long way to go. I am working on my faith and relationship with Him still and its one of the hardest things to do when the devil is always distracting you. I have better days when I'm really strong in my faith and then other days when I feel lost and at the beginning of where I started. I have always considered myself a Christian, I went to church, I prayed every now and then, I did good things most of the time but I knew something was missing. Now I need more of Him, I go to him for teaching, I go to him for praise, I go to him for encouragement. I pretty much go to Him for everything. I am more at peace with my life even when things don't go my way. Its a beautiful feeling. I have also found a great church that helps me learn more about God. I am reading the Bible more and more and spending time with God. Sometimes I feel that God is trying to send me somewhere but I have yet to hear a confirmation from Him. I am so happy because I have been able to bring my brother closer to God too. He gets excited to go to church with me every Sunday. Today he actually reminded me about tomorrows new series that the pastor will preach on. This is the most amazing feeling ever. I found a church, I told my brother to join me one Sunday and I can see a change in him. God is so good. I don't know His plan for me but I'm willing to go whenever he leads me and I want to take everyone with me. Anyway, I could go on and on and on but just wanted to talk about whats been going on with me.
I also have some exciting news about my career. I have been asking God to guide me into the right direction. I was at a point whereby I started to feel inferior at my workplace and wanted a change but nothing would come up. I have been praying about it and one day, I decided it was time for me to go back to school. Well, as of the fall, I will be pursuing my Masters in Nursing at Queens University. I am so excited and my parents are just so proud. Of course my brother took it as a challenge and said he will be getting his masters as well. I couldn't be a better role model to him. I just love how God is using me to influence my brother's life. I just hope I can influence a lot others out there. Baby steps I guess!
God has been the best thing to me this year so far, and the best is yet to come. I hope and pray I get to follow Him and become the woman He wants me to be. Praise be to the most High God! Amen!
