Happy holidays everyone!
Hope that your holidays are filled with lots of love and cheer!
Quick update: I currently have two new videos that I’ve uploaded on youtube. One is a song cover with one of my friends and the other is a video for my poem “since high school.”

Below is a post about how I am learning to be more patient and trusting in God. Not just with relationships, but with my career and education as well. Hope it blessed you.
I move so fast.
I don’t understand why I feel like I need to rush the process. I think that by rushing, it will some how make things move faster but in reality it will just slow things down.
For example,
When I first graduated from community college I had the option of either going to school immediately in the spring with no scholarship, or wait to attend in the fall on a scholarship.
At that time I didn’t want to waste anytime so I opted to go in the spring. Granted I did have financial aid, but if I had waited it would had been an easier stress free transition in other areas.
Another example,
I remember six year ago I started getting close to one of my male friends. I noticed that we were always in constant communication, and instead of waiting on God’s timing, I decided to place matters into my own hand. I believe the guy and I only talked for three weeks and even though I knew that it was best to move slow and wait it out. I knew that I shouldn’t have rushed things, and that I should’ve taken the time to really get to know him. Instead I decided that I would flirt and see what would become of it. Let’s just say that it didn’t even last a minute…
Back then I was the chaser, ( I was told by one of my best friends.) She told me that I would be the one to chase guys . She said that I was the one to pursue them. It pained me to hear her say that, because in all honesty I was not aware that I was the one that was doing the pursuing. She told me to slow down. She was right! She told me that I should get to know them better before I start flirting it up.
For the future I decided that If the guy is doing the pursing and I am interested in him, then fine by all means I will respond. But if it’s me that is doing all the heavy flirting and the guy is not being responsive then I need to let it go!
It’s ironic that society tells women to be independent and go getters, but when it comes to relationships it’s really all up to the guy. If the guy isn’t feeling you, then it will not go anywhere. No matter how hard you may try. The girl can dress cute, and be super intelligent and have a ton of things going for her, but if the man does not want to be with her, then it will not happen!
And that was something that I learned six years ago.
Because of that I told myself to slow down and get to know a person. I do find it hard at times to wait and watch the guy, to see if his actions matches up his words.
Sometimes waiting seems like it’s going on for forever, but it’s worth it.
A few encouraging Scriptures about being patient and waiting on God’s timing:
- “And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”-Habakkuk 2:2-3 KJV
- -“Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”-Ephesians 4:31-32 KJV
- “Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.”-James 5:8 KJV
- “I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.”- Psalms 130:5 KJV
- “Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.”-Psalms 27:14 KJV
- “My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.”-Psalms 62:5 KJV
Be Blessed, Be Bold, and don’t forget that you are Fearfully and Wonderfully made!
BE BOLD FOR CHRIST
