Teenage Confessions: The Key to Success!
Teenage Confessions: The Key to Success!: "Opportunities come when you allow them to. You have to have an open heart and mind in order to allow it to be filled with moments that are unforgettable. I would say I wasted so much time on meaningless things and situations but in reality everything I have been through has just been preparation. Everyone have their own desires and interest, which should not be taken lightly no matter what anyone say. The good thing is that we all need enemy's (Haters) just to show them that we are who we say we are. If we did not have people disagreeing then we are obviously not doing something right. God has given us talent and gifts to bring people closer to him and to allow us to be rewarded in the process. Keep pushing yourself to your maximum limits; we only get one chance to make a difference, why not start now! It will not be easy, but it is worth the time and effort spent. The minute I open my mind to what I enjoy doing, things has started to take place in my life that I would not have imagined. The good thing is that God is not done with me yet!! I am proud of who I am and what I have become because the Lord knows I have been through a lot just to get to where I am today!! Join me in my victory in success!!
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

Refusing Silence
Refusing Silence
i pick up my pen
to write the words that
all mankind needs to hear me say but
why is my voice not heard
have i been
permanently placed on mute
has my
signal been permanently blocked
how can i
reach those who thirst
yet are being held in famine
being pulled into
false realities
when the truth
is only one page away
listen
to the voice inside your heart
pay attention
to all of your surroundings
believe
what you know to be true from knowledge of self
and let no one trick you
leading you to fall for what’s not real
hear my voice…
listen
as i bring forth wisdom
for i am not afraid to go against the grain
i trust in my own perception of the world
and
i wonder
where we have all gone wrong
hear me…
believe me…
and release yourselves from the rut
that society has forced you in
speak you mind
live your life
and be
who you are
as opposed to
who they tell you to be

Favor
Life is full of favor. Some of us may not recognize it in our lives but it's really and truly there with each step we take. To be in one's favor is basically to be in one's good graces. God shows favor in our lives on so may occasions and in so many ways that we as human beings have a tendency of overlooking or taking for granted, if you will, the things He has done for us.
It can be something as little as somehow gaining a couple of extra seconds on your way to work that caused you to be right on time instead of just a little bit late.
How many of you have started to do your laundry and found money in the pockets of your pants that you forgot you had? What about those near misses on the road where you either unknowingly pull out in front of someone, or they do it to you and neither of you were hit? That's favor.
God is constantly keeping a watch over us. Anything that happens in our lives happens with a purpose. Sometimes we don't see the purpose or know the reason but there's always something to be learned in what God allows or doesn't allow to happen. Those lessons, and that learning process is designed to strengthen us against a recurrence of that same situation. It's sort of like going to the store to buy something specific and realizing you didn't bring enough money with you. It's embarrassing, but I guarantee that you won't make that mistake again.
That's the basic principle of life. Things are going to happen, but the way we deal with those things will determine our growth. That's just how it works. God's favor is something to be grateful for. It's something to rejoice about and it's definitely not something that should be overlooked or taken for granted.
Thing about some of the more recent "situations" in your life. You'll be amazed at how much work God has put in on your behalf. That ladies and gentlemen, is favor.
Love y'all. Keep growing.

Encouragement
Just like beauty, encouragement is also in the eye of the beholder. What does that mean? It means that every individual will find their source of encouragement in different ways.
It may come from something someone has said or done. It can also come from something we see, do or come in personal contact with. No matter what the source may be, it is a necessary part of our existence.
Encouragement is what keeps up going from moment to moment. It is the motivational tool we need to carry us through situations that may be designed to hinder is from moving forward. If for whatever reason the people and/or things around you don't of cannot offer sufficient encouragement, there is always a verse or few in the bible that will keep you on the correct path.
We were all make from a specific design and have a specific plan on this earth. It is up to us to use our given talents to find and figure out what that plan is. Once you've found it, God will open up so many doors and so many opportunities will present themselves to you. It's as if everything will automatically fall into the correct place in the correct order. This is how you know that God's will is being carried out in your life and that, ladies and gentlemen, is the greatest source of encouragement of all.
Be blessed everyone!!!

Learning To Let Go
Letting go is one of the most important aspects of growth. In life, there will be people, things and situations that will deter you from your path. There will be stumbling blocks on your journey. No matter what someone says to you, about you or does to you, that cannot be used to define you. You are who God says you are and who you believe you are. Feelings and emotions may run strong in you, but you must focus on the positive aspects and the lessons within everything that occurs in your life. Continue to push forward no matter how hard it seems. It's never about what you're called, it's about what you answer to. It's not about what the world and the people around you, or your circumstances say you can or can't do. It's about what you know and believe you can do. It's about how far you can follow God as He leads you on your journey. It's about your own willingness to succeed beyond the shadow of a doubt. Keep your head up, your thoughts positive and stay focused, one goal at a time.
