He's Actin UP

Specktators, what's goin on?? I know it's been a while, and I know you all missed me Lol. I apologize for neglecting the blog, but I'm back now so let's get into it. This won't take too long...

So I've been single since the beginning of this year, and I enjoy this life quite a bit. It gives me the opportunity to meet new people and discover more of what I like and dislike when it comes to the opposite sex.

Anyway, I have this friend {who's name I choose not to reveal}. Real cool dude. He tells me he wants to go out on a "friendly date." Never had I EVER heard that term in my LIFE, but in my mind I was like "It's whatever." because I knew it wasn't anything serious...because HE'S not serious...Lol. So yea, he says he wants to see a movie, and I agree.

The plan was to go see RED, but I ended up seeing it with someone else by accident. I then try and reschedule, and this dude says that we're not going unless I'M paying for the both of us......HOLD UP!!......Are you serious?!?? LOL His rationale?: I'm fully capable of paying for two, plus he likes to "mix it up a bit" SMH ""It's so typical to take someone out on a date AND pay," he said. -_-

I look at it this way: if you ask ME to go somewhere, YOU should pay. Not because I'm incapable, a gold-digger, or anything of the sort. That's just what it is. I actually don't see anything wrong with the lady paying every now and then. But at the same time, if you say you wanna go somewhere with me, then you can't tell me that I'll be going alone if I'm not paying for the both of us...Am I crazy?? Old-fashioned?? Or do ya feel what I'm sayin...?? Guys and gals get back to me on this one......

PS - It was not my intention to put my friend on blast Lol..It's all love, so don't say anything crazy about him cuz only I can do that!! Lol

Blessings

Get Glad!!

What's up everybody? I know it's been a while since I've written, but I have to make sure that each post is meaningful {to both you and me}. It's important to me that when you finish reading, you're able to take something away with you. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I'd like to ask you a question...

Have you ever received news that left you without breath or thought for a couple seconds?....The type of news that completely steals your joy?....Well that's what happened to me on the 27th of June. It's been bothering me ever since, so today I decided to write about it before I explode. This was inspired by a friend who's very dear to me, but it's really for anyone who's ever felt like giving up on life..Here goes...

There's A Light

You've been though things I cannot imagine

Now you feel like there's no point in going on

You wake up angry that you're still among the living

You think the only on you can count on is you {NOT true}

Even the ones who are supposed to be there to love and nurture you forever {your parents} are absent

For a while you began to move past it all

I watched you grow spiritually, but now you're fed up..wishing you could fill that void

You've tried ending it a few times, not realizing that there must be a reason why it hasn't worked

It's all too much to handle

The hold you're in gets deeper every day you're above ground

But you know what..?

It doesn't matter what things may look like

It doesn't matter who's there and who's not

It doesn't even matter how low you feel each day...

Why..?

Because there's Someone who spoke the world into existence

Surely He has a plan for your life regardless of your situation

So when darkness closes in, remember to let GOD be your light!

He's MM MM Good!!!

Wah gwan Specktators?! Lol That's my nickname for ya..You can like it or love it Lol..So I'm finally back to share a little more me with you all....

Since Wednesday of last week, God's been saying the same things over and over to me. "Make time for ME!" was among some of those things. See on Wednesday, I went to prayer meeting here at my university and we discussesd {among other things}the fact that we often put so much before God, yet we say we know Him and/or want to strengthen our relationship with Him. How can you do this without spending time? The answer is you CAN'T. When you want to get to know that special someone, you make time for that person yes? For some reason when it comes to God, things are totally different. We make sure we get up early enough to do whatever we have to. We make time to talk on the phone to friends, go to work, class, or out on the town and somehow, God gets shoved to the last slot in our day {if He's made a part of our day at all}. Why isn't our Creator put above everything? He deserves it..It's the very least we could do. I know I definitely have to do better about communicating with Him and spending time reading His Word.

We also talked about how we tend to get off track when we're tempted in different ways. Of course this is normal, but we shouldn't stay on the wrong path. We spoke about being "dressed for battle"..Having on the full armor of God. This is one way to allow Him to transform our lives and live through us. It involves "dying to self" or submitting fully to Him..Living according to His will. Sometimes we're faced with temptations/trials and in those moments, we fail to realize that the enemy studies us long enough to know our weaknesses..what will make us fall. He's not stupid. He presents us with situations {after being authorized by God of course}, and we are left to choose to act in a way that is either godly, or ungodly. Geez I could go on and on and on.

I'll end with this: Let your thoughts be His thoughts. Don't live under the influence of your fears, temptations, etc. Remember that no matter how many trials or temptations the enemy throws at you, you have Someone bigger in your corner! Most importantly, stay centered on the Word of God. Without it, you're a dead man walking. {read Ephesians 6:10-18! It inspired me to right the majority of these words} I thank the Lord for reminders! I heard the same message Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, AND Saturday! He's SOO good! TOO good! He really shows Himself if you pursue him with your whole heart. So I'm doing my best to try and live right and encouraging you all to do the same. These are, afterall, the last days. He's coming soon whether we're ready or not. Live life for HIM because your life is not your own. Remember Him, and He'll remember you in the end!

"He traded the praise and worship of the angelic host for the mockery and jeers of an angry mob." Why not sacrifice for Him..??
