"My head is bloody but unbowed"

That is one of my favorite poems for reasons that I'm not getting into right now! But none-the-less I found it fitting as a title.

I know life is going to test me that's the point. It wouldn't be much living to be done if I wasn't. And I have realized that I have been looking at the negative aspects of life a lot lately. I don't have this, I had to leave, I want a new...and etc. You get the point. But I have stopped and looked at all the things I do have. Yes life threw me a jab but I'm not Knocked Out! I'm still living. And now is the perfect time for me to start looking at the positive. So that's what I'm going to start doing. So if you catch me in the streets being a "Debbie Downer" just come correct me real quick!

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...

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

Yesterday, I found that my Aunt Lou (my grandmother's sister) passed. This is my first time dealing with the of someone so close to me. When my sisters and I spent summers in Detroit we spent a majority of our time with her. It has been hard for me to deal with mostly because my grandmother has lost both of her younger sisters. The only thing I can think of is that my grandmother being the oldest is going to be gone soon as well.
