faith is one thing in my life that has been tested so many times. i decided that 2007 for me would be the year of walking out on faith, and letting God guide my paths, and with the first quarter of the year over, God has proved that he is indeed an awsome God. I have a new church home, closer friends, and family members, tog media is growing more and more each day, i have a new boyfriend, and i am developing into the type of young man i have always wanted to be. as i explained to a friend in a recent conversation it is not about driving a bmx or living in a nice crib, faith is based on knowing that all you have is a blessing, the good, the bad, the happy, the sad. when i put my life into the hands of the Lord he has shown me he has so much in store for me.......I truly know the best is yet to come.......

Death makes you think....

Yesterday I accompanied my mother to her first cousin's funeral in Dallas. The services were bitter sweet, I know she had been suffering for so long, and I know she made the journey to Heaven. She and my mother over the past couple of years had become more like sisters than first cousins. I have a best friend, and two ex's that have lost their mothers, I could not imagine the feeling. On the drive up to Dallas I was able to talk about so many things, and just really understand more things about life in general. My mother and I might bump heads about each others decisions, in life, but when it is all over and done with, I understand the importance of a Strong mother, who is willing to do whatever she can that is morally ethical for her children. To have my mother as a mother is to know unconditional, true, limitless love. I am excited because Jay (my boyfriend) is meeting her today, we will see how this goes.....Mama I know oyu read my blog, and check my facebook, so I want you to know I love you so much....
