Good things comes to those who wait.

Romans 12:12
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

I always have to remind myself that what I want for myself may not be what God wants for me. And if things don't go the way I want it's because God has something better. This week's been really hard for me. I have a lot going with work, dealing with my attorney regarding my accident is a straight up PAIN. I thought hiring an attorney would give me a smooth ride but it's been the exact OPPOSITE and I still have to get my bumper fixed from the accident. On the bright side, my neck and shoulder feeling a lot better, I leave for LA and Vegas in 4 weeks, the weekend is 2 days away, I just ordered these shoes I really wanted AND they were on sale! Despite all the headaches life's good. I NEED to be more thankful, things could be a lot worse.

Just emptying my mind...

You know, I don't understand the logic some people have going on in their heads... Why is it that when a friend (certain friends) f*cks you over they flip the script and start acting shady? Then all off a sudden it's like you've done something wrong, rather then the friend who just pulled the rug from beneath you. What sense does that make? What ever happened to fessing up to your faults, apologizing and moving on? I don't get it. LOL. It's just weird. This all goes back to one of the blogs I have about pulling some weeds out of my life-- weeds being the friends that I don't need.

It's also hard for me to take advice from people who don't help themselves/take their own advice. Here's an overly exaggerated example-- a 500lbs person telling me to stop eating fast food and jump on a treadmill. O_o? Yeah. ha ha.

Lastly, I fall guilty to flaking. This is something I try hard not to do because I know how much it bothers me to be flaked upon. Or when someone takes interest in my dreams/goals and they hype it up like they want to take part and have interest in it-- then, do nothing. This is why I've started to keep these things to myself. I've never been dependent on anybody but myself and it's time I move on ALONE. Nobody's going to help me get to where I'm going but me. After all, I'm not going entirely by my lonesome... I have the man upstairs who's going to be by my side. His love never fails.

I didn't mean to come off bitter or upset in this blog. I just needed to empty some things I've had that were setting heavy on my mind. Love covers a multitude of sins - 1st Peter 4:8. Do not let love and faithfulness leave you; bind them to your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart - Proverbs 3:3

Let's see...

I have been working out consistently since last Saturday. ha ha! I haven't seen any progress yet but I know it'll take time. The trainer said up to 30 days-- goodness! I am off to LA in about 3 weeks! I need that beach body. Feel me?

I got into a fender bender Saturday morning. Was rear ended while I was at a stop light and my neck is all messed up. I just thank GOD I am a live. Everyday.

God's been really testing my patience and faith this past week/month. I'm not in the mood to get into detail but I need him! Always. It's times like these that I need not to rely on God.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.

Memorial weekend is coming up! which means I have a 3 days weeeeekend! HALLEJUAH. I'm going to visit my bestfriend Gee whom I haven't seen in a while and was looking into some hotels since a few friends of mine also want to come along with me. The Custom Hotel, SO modern. I love the decor! I've been researching hotels in NYC too and found the not only were boutique hotels cheaper than hotel chains but they were wayyyyy more SUPER COOL and the interior designs inside some of these hotels were absolutely STUNNING. Anyways, if we in fact do decide we need a hotel for the LA trip that's where we're going to book our stay!

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. - Luke 6:32

I can't count how many times the bible references the word LOVE.

I dealt with the MOST difficult person at work today. SERIOUSLY. The man went OFF on me. I've never had a stranger go off on me like that (never mess with people's money and healthcare haha). ANYWAYS, turns out he was misinformed and I happen to be the next person to be at his service. After he left I just wanted to pull my hair out and throw his renewal application in the shreddar, so that he'd have to do it again. I ended up venting to a friend through text and she replied, "you can do that or do what God would do. Pray for him." I'm telling ya... it's friends like her that keep me in check! He was probably having a worse day than my worst day. I'm tellin ya, I felt God was testing me at that very moment. Testing my patience. It definitely took an act of patience and LOVE to keep my cool during my meeting with him. God is good. The End.

A random post.

I don't like talking on the phone-- minus a few excepetions. Although, I do get text anxiety when someone doesn't respond to me back within a reasonable amount of time.

Orange juice tastes good while eating chocolate.

Allergy season has hit unusually late this year and oddly it's only effecting right eye ball.

I've seen more and more people walking their dogs in strollers. -_-

More and more people have also forgetten the phrase "thank you". I've opened about 5+ doors for people at work, handed a woman her hair clip after watching it fall out and offered to get coffee for my cube mate. Not once did I get a thank you. Not that I expect one but it'd be nice. Maybe it's just the people that work at Group Health that don't know common courtesy. ha ha.

Don't BUY ANYTHING ON CRAIGSLIST unless there is a photo attached to the posting. Today, I went to meet up with a fellow from craigslist to purchase a blackberry he had posted for sale. Turned out I knew the fellow from a mutual friend and he runs some kind of black-market-underground cell phone ring and tried to sell me a crusty, USED blackberry that still had someone's sim card in it. SMH.

I just heard the new song by Ciara and Justin Timberlake- Love, Sex and Magic. I think that Janet Jackson would've been more suitable for the song. I love Janet.
