It was no surprise to anybody that ended up at a Diwali festival. I love India, or better put, I love the India I have built in my head from an overdose of Indian movies and music. In all honesty, I thought Diwali was a celebration of the Indian new year. Turned out to be the festival of lights, a celebration of Lakshmi, a Hindu god. It just happened to coincide with the Indian new year. Awkward.
God is intentional about you.
I know the new year for a lot of people signifies a shot at a fresh start. We are four months into the new year and chances are the hopes of a fresh start for some people have already started to dissipate. This is just a little reminder that you are not alone, you are not a mistake, God is intentional about you, and His thoughts towards you are precious and numerous.
WE WILL BE OKAY.
I really wish I could say things always go according to plan for me, and that there are alternative ways to learn certain things, but sadly there are not. There is a form of resilience that only comes from being pressured and having the air sucked from your lungs.
CELEBRATING LITTLE VICTORIES.

Although, I do not know the history... Continue Reading →

READ THE MANUAL.
Are there people in this day and age, who get a product and take time out to read the manual before attempting to use it? Well if there are, I'm definitely not one of them. Yes, I usually start with trying to figure out how it works *because smarty pants* and when I get stuck I check the internet *honestly I'd rather someone pointed out the exact solution to me than read through a manual*, if that doesn't work I check my manual.
LITTLE MISS COWARD.
You see, I'm afraid my creepy neighbor is lurking somewhere in the dark waiting for the perfect opportunity to start a conversation.
Conversations are good, involuntary 2 am conversations aren't.
JUST A REMINDER!!!
This is just a reminder that you are not alone, Jesus is with you. He is as close as the mention of his name, he is nearer even than your very next thought. “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of...
