I have a question..

America has been dealing with some serious societal issues as of late. The education system is on a downfall, Congress is fighting against the current President, President Obama is being disrespected by every facet of the media, inner cities are virtually imploding on themselves, the environment is being ripped apart by markets, America's use of oil continues and has the potential to ruin the economic system

AND....

PEOPLE HAVE THE NERVE TO B WORRIED ABOUT IDRIS ALBA PLAYING THOR IN A MOVIE!!

Are you serious!? I won't state my opinion on the matter because it's irrelevant at this time. My friend sent me an article discussing the situation today and after reading it I sat down and read the comments. And I was astonished after being being called a Nigger one night at school by some upset white people and then reading those comments there is no way people can tell me that racism doesn't exist still in this country! The comments people made were astonishing. From what I thought Thor was a Nordic God but apparently there is some European Pagan Religion that I need to brush up on. So I won't speak too much on that...but from my understanding he was a God and just because he was portrayed as white does that mean he really was? Again not the point....

I just can't believe that people are so focused on this movie that Domestic and world issues get swept under the rug. I just had to get that off my chest.

Untitled thoughts

After Bible Study last night something hit me; that I have the tendency to be apathetic about things that happen to me in life. I'm willing to just see what happens. Which at times can be a good thing but I have come to realize it hasn't been working for me. There are some things that I need to be more proactive about: 1. My relationship with God. See it's not just enough that I am saved. There is way more to being connected to God then going to church one day a week and telling people that I'm a Christian. While I'm not going to be perfect there are numerous things that I can be doing to strengthen and expand my faith. Beginning with what I do at home. I have always thought that it was possible to just read the Bible once maybe twice a week, pray when I was need of something and everything be OK. This I have come to realize is not true. In order to have the relationship with God that I desire I need to be in constant communication with the Lord. And this has to sta...

#RoadToCandidacy

The moment you've all been waiting for, or maybe not, either way it's here!! As of today at 7:44 am my Qualifying Exams are underway!! That's right, for the next 2 months I will be on locked down writing at least 60 pages in response to 3 questions. Send me snacks, love, luck, motivation, and things to do for fun times (because baby girl will need a break)! Hopefully my depression and anxiety are willing to work with me. With that I am off to get started on Question #1! #RoadToCandidacy

Could you Speak up? I can't hear you.

I have always had difficulty standing up for myself or voicing my voice as the young folks say. Speaking my mind and expressing my thoughts and ideas terrifies me. I'm not confident in my opinions and often worry that I'm wrong. These thoughts are only heightened by my ever present anxiety. I'm constantly overthinking and concerned that no one wants to hear what I have to say. To me, my thoughts don't matter to anyone other than myself. My voice often shakes and gets quiet when I'm trying to express myself. I am either worried that my opinions will harm/offend or will go unnoticed. There are several moments over the course of my life where I regret not speaking up or saying something that was on my mind. There is a constant internal struggle that happens every time I faced with a moment to express myself. More often than not, I end up silencing myself. Which I can openly admit has done nothing for me.  All I ended up with was a nagging regret that I should have sa...
