calm comotion



I'm trying. I'm trying. I'm trying. I can(?).

India Arie says:

It doesn't cost a thing to smile.
You don't have to pay to laugh.
You better thank God for that.

It's all about perception.

So you act-so you feel-so you are.

It's all about the size of the faith in your heart.


...I had an interesting text-convo with my stepmom. Inspirational and long...cuz i've been in a funk...

Trying to figure out my path and simultaneously feeling like I have no control over anything...

Keeping in my mind that God is in control is so very hard to live up to for some reason. Keeping my heart and mind open is crucial...

I try to yet I will not change who I am cuz where i've been and where i'm goin is all because of who i've been. I'm struggling with faith in God and myself.

i call myself "baby". when baby needs inspiration, i say: "baby...come on baby...i can do it...".

I have to repeatedly remind myself that what's mine will be just for me. God knew me before this world therefore, he will watch me and take care of me.

But, reminders only work if I believe in them. (as per my sm.)

Tanya really helped me the other day with her faithful words and her life encompassing quotes. I'm glad I texted and she called. I think she's an angel in disguise. So I want to immortalize her throught my blog. =]

Other than that...I'm gonna try harder to let go and let God. And to control my attitude and be thankful for who I am.

I'm trying along with you Lany, to let go
and let God. You are wise to cherish the
Angels God sends to you.

being an atheist, i think you're the one who's actually in control of your life- don't worry-we all go through some phases where we get lost and dont know what to do. but after doing some reflection and a little talkin' with some friends-soon, we'll just go back to our old route again.

some times, you have to look at a general view than one's self to actually understand things. look at some people from different parts of the world-they die of hunger and war-despite having their god-why isnt their god taking care of them?

you're the one in control-just make sure you go to the right way, whereever or whatever it is.
