Its Been A WHHHIIIILLLEEEE!!!

Family, its been a long minute since I last talked with you all. Let me first say that I'm not dead, I'm alive and well enjoying college and everything that comes with it. I'm still making great grades and I should be on scholarship next semester that will lock me in for the rest of my college career.

SO much has happened since my last post but I promise to keep in contact with you all! I don't have time to tell you right now but I'll keep you posted from now on what's going on with yours truly. I have to go now but I want to leave with my PARTY SONG!! (LOL)

You Have To Start With Nothing.

As I was in Math class on Monday, we were discussing Rational and Irrational numbers, integers, etc. Then our teacher discussed whole numbers. For those who been out of school for a minute, whole numbers must begin with zero. When I seen this, I knew it had to be an epiphany or revelation to share with you, my TFS family.

If you want to experience the full or WHOLE manifest of what you're expecting or what God has for you, you must begin at an empty place. When beginning at an empty place, you're showing God that he has the full authority over whatever the situation is.

The woman with the issue of blood ran out of EVERYTHING: money, doctors, etc. and declared, "If I could touch his (Jesus') clothes, I shall be WHOLE..." (Mark5:28) Then when she pressed through the crowd to touch Jesus, he said to her "Daughter, thy faith has made you WHOLE..." (Mark 5:34) You must remember, she started with NOTHING.

So remember if you start with NOTHING you'll end with EVERYTHING. If the woman with the issue started with her issue and no money and ended with her healing, we can exercise our faith to that same degree!

Thanks for reading!!

Happy New Year and Second Semester!!

Let me first wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I know that 2009 will be a productive and prosperous for all of you! I'm excited about this year! Now let me be honest, I'm SSSSSOOOO missing my laptop right now! I have 19 credit hours this semester and God knows I need one for this semester but I think I'll learn to appreciate another one once I get a new one.

Second semester starts tomorrow and I'm kinda nervous but ready for this challenge! I know that I'll have to manage my time a little more like an adult now that I have ALL THESE CREDIT HOURS!! (LOL) But this should a fun semester as well. I look forward to meeting new people and learning new things as I start my second semester of college

Well I gotta go now but I can't leave with a hot song. So I'm going to leave you with an old school classic by a PHENOMENAL artist from the 90s
