Quitters take the L!

Ever feel like giving up? Who am I kidding I know you have…we all have. So much so we feel it’s a natural part of life, we have adapted giving up into our routines. It becomes especially easy to give up when things get tough.

---

With the influence of social media or media in general I have always had this held expect
ation for my self that by a certain age, at least 20, I would have been far along in my endeavor to attaining success. I would be pretty well known, making big girl moves, and have been recognized as boss lady. Honestly, I couldn’t feel farther away from that goal. I mean.. I’m not 20 but 18 is close enough! A few girls I have followed on instagram since freshman year and used to DM
, are now millionaires.. yes Millionaires! They have their own start ups and didn’t even feel it necessary to look into college. Watching them grow and proper before my very eyes, I can’t help but be overcome with the feeling of defeat at times. But that’s just it! you have to keep in mind the devil has an agenda too. God is Love and comfort not fear or negativity. I had to remove the things from my life that were posing as barriers, they bl
ocked me from clearly seeing the destiny God had for me. I had to detox my self from the negativity, envy, and temptation of comparing myself.

I am great and successful in God eyes;that’s all that matters.

Anything you desire or that has been put on heart to pursue has been put their for a reason. Second guessing, doubt, fear are all the work of the devil, lead by faith. God has a list of promises he has made to us and through faith anything we desire we can have. Success is written in our destiny from God. Head and not the tail, first and not last.. He has declared this to us countless times! We have to stop
comparing ourselves to others be grateful for what we have and work
hard toward attaining the things we want. You can have and do anything with God on your side, if he is for you who can
be against you we are on the winning team. We will always prevail in God’s time.. the perfect time. We have a destiny to fulfill, Run Girl! Run after it.

Stay Prepared!

Pop Quiz! The two words virtually everyone hates, questions begin to flood every crevice of your mind; Am I prepared enough? Why didn’t I prepare? Why would this happen on the very day I didn’t review my notes?

Right?! We have all been there.. It kind of sucks knowing that you had the material; it was offered to you but you didn’t take the time to go over the notes or prepare yourself. You scratch your head and tap your pencil hoping that it will bring back some of that information your professor preached in his monotone drag the day before… maybe by the grace of a miracle you’ll receive an A. But why when it comes to a test that God gives us all the pressure to pass goes out the window? God’s pop quizzes are the only ones we should be willing to pull our hair out over.

This week I had a very trying week! Many tests came my way…I’m the first to say I didn’t ace them all but I came out with a strong B+.. ok maybe a solid B. Yet through it all there was goodness that came out of it. If you want to be used by God you have to strap up and stay prepared. The devil is relentless and will not stop  unless you prove to him you are on the winning team. If you are weak in the word of God, if you are weak in faith, or in your relationship with God he will attack if you are not prepared you will fail. I don’t know about you but F’s were never acceptable in my house.. who am I kidding Cs weren’t even allowed(I received my first C ever in my first semester of college). Anything worth having takes work whether it be preparation or practice. Just as I want to succeed in school I yearn to succeed in God’s book, that’s where I want my 4.0! That’s where I want to receive straight A’s. So I must prepare and stay prepared, we all have to stay prepared. Indulge yourself in his word, spend time with him, PRAY! Be a geek for God, Over achieve for once.

P.s. God loves you no matter what you GPA is:)

Oh..It’s better than Jamba!

On my new kick to a healthier lifestyle it has been hard trying to find treats that are healthy, delicious, and affordable all in one, especially in college.(I know, us poor college students).Yet in the midst of my search and experimentation I have found the perfect treat; I didn’t want to play any games when it came to my lifestyle this up and coming year so I made it my mission to resort to what I know best!  And Oh, trust me it’s way better than Jamba!

It’s sweet, delicious, it’s tropical,  it’s impeccable(too much?). It will have you juicing every day! Seriously I’ve eaten at the dining hall twice since school has started back up. Its so good! I put my little twist on it and adjust it to how I am feeling that day, it always turns out amazing.

I bought a little ‘bullet’ resembling appliance, I’m not too sure the exact name but it was only about 10 dollars at Walmart. Yes, 10 dollars! And it works like magic. Then I moseyed my way over to the freezer section and grabbed just about every frozen fruit bag I could find (they even have them at the dollar store). Mangoes being my particular favorite because I just snack on those when I don’t feel like making a whole smoothie. I grabbed some milk and some vegetables to throw in there to make it taste healthy and Wallah!

Heres what I use to make my Favorite smoothie, Let’s call her Bang Bang Baby! I don’t know, something that sounds cute because thats what I want to be after drinking all of these!

~1/2 cup Soymilk (any healthier milk)

~1/2 cup 100% orange juice
~Handful berry mix/mango slices/peaches

~Handful of spinach

~Stem of kale

~2 tbsp of Chia seeds

~1 ripen banana

Blend (add a little water if it is too thick) and enjoy!

Consistency is Key!

“I’ve been married for 37 years” an older couple states. The statement is followed by a few sudden gasps, heart clutches, and an applause.

Yep.. that’s usually how it goes, but why is that? Why is it that as Americans we stand and admire things that should be. Maybe because for the past couple decades consistency and commitment has become a such a rarity. If there is one thing I agree with  about our generation it would be that we suffer from this sense of entitlement. If things don’t come to fulfill our expectations within like the first 90 days we are out and we quit or decide to give up. For me, this is more relevant than ever before, it’s so easy to give up or take the easy route! Success takes more than that. Success takes diligence, effort, determination, and most of all patience. If being successful, starting a business, or following god’s plans for your life was easy everyone would do it. Nothing worth having comes easy, you have to be willing to work to attain success in this world and beyond. You have to decide if you want to remain the same for the rest of your life or if you want to be somebody. Over the past couple of weeks I have been exposed to the scripture Hebrews 6:12;

“Let ye be not slothful but followers of them who through faith and patience  inherit the promises”

It is so relevant! We have to have faith, We have to have patience and discipline. If you want to be someone in life you have to stick it out a little bit longer and try a little bit harder. With hard work and determination there is absolutely no way you won’t attain success. You have to sacrifice some things to attain your goals, dreams, and God’s plan for you. Be steadfast and diligent in your work and you will surely come to success. Ask God what he has for you and he will lead you to it! Be strong and stay consistent.

Love,
