Check Your Connection

One of the classes I took last semester was Health Science 2. Since it was my last class, and it lasted 2 hours, I had to take a bus to the career center where I took it. On the 10-minute ride to the place, we go through different areas to reach our destination. Some areas you can see have wide open land with few houses. Then some areas are mostly trees and it’s cluttered with houses and things of that sort. When the bus takes us through those open areas, my data works on my phone and I have no problems. However, when I go through the area with many cluttered trees, I realize I don’t have access to good service.
That’s just like with God. God can’t connect or reconnect with you as he wants to because your environment is cluttered and full of unnecessary things that you need to remove from your life to have breathing room. When you make space for God, you can connect with him on a level where you can obtain the blessings and the things He has for you. Holding on to things that are affecting your connection with God makes it hard for you to connect with God. We all have to make room in our lives for the things that are important and can’t have things that make us disconnect from the things necessary to get to where we need to be.


Personal Questions to Reflect On?

What are you holding onto? 
Why are you holding on to it? 
Is it causing you good or harm? 
How can you de-clutter your life?
Are you becoming addicted to a cluttered lifestyle?

Wait In Line! Your Time Is Coming!

       In the beginning of the semester, I can't even tell you how many times I ate at Chick-fil-A on campus. It was the best place to eat on campus in my opinion, and I believe a lot of other people thought the same thing considering the long Chick-fil-A lines. There's not one time where I went to the fast-food restaurant and the line wasn't long. It would take about 15 minutes for me to get to the screen to put in my order and another 10 minutes to receive it. On the other hand, standing in those long lines made me impatient, but I had realized something. As I move up in the line, more people would get in it. Where am I getting at with this? Even though the line was long, I was relieved of not being towards the end of it. I was grateful that I was in the spot that I was in, because I could've been at the end waiting longer to get my food.           My point is...wait in line because there's someone that wish they were in your spot. It ...

Restart & Update: It's All A Part of the Process

        About 2 years ago, I had invested in a Chromebook laptop to work on the things I wanted to achieve, such as this blog. One thing that I noticed about it is that it needs constant updating. Sometimes my laptop can glitch and become slow if it's not properly updated when required.  Sometimes in life we can go through uncomfortable situations or circumstances that require us to restart and update. Through the different seasons of life we may encounter, they all call for something different to be produced in our lives and we have to be the initiators of the fruit we want to bare. Yes, it can feel weird and uneasy at first, but that just means that you're in a season of transition. A caterpillar has to be enclosed in a cocoon, a tight and probably uncomfortable space, in order to transform into its potential self of a butterfly. Comparing how it's abilities differ from how the caterpillar started versus it's final transition, it was only able to crawl an...

It Starts With Your Foundation

I think it's amazing how God can speak to us through the little things in life.       In my dorm room, I have 3 plants that I love to care for. One of my plants I left at my dorm while I was gone back home for Christmas break. When I came back, the plant was withered, weak, and the stems were droopy. I didn't want to just give up on my plant so I began to water it. While I watered it, God put an awareness in my spirit. I realized that I wasn't watering the leaves or the stems, but the soil.       Then I got the revelation! Why do a plant need more tending to its soil and roots? Why does that have the most impact on the growth of the plant? These questions stirred in my head, but then I got the understanding that feeding into a plant's foundation helps it obtain the resources and strength to grow. It's the foundation that makes it strong and able to withstand its environment or circumstance. It's the foundation that the plant uses to obtain what it...
