SolaVaca13:Day4

Day 4! Marveling at Gods Beautiful Creation! The Beach is my favorite but be fore I could get to South Padre Island ... I had to stop at the Selena Museum it inspired me to embrace my culture and talents to make music for God! Music and great character can really impact the lives of people! 

I totally want to live in a lighthouse

Radical for God

My earthly father crushed my spirit, when he questioned the reason I blogged. I tried to explain that I used it to share ideas and what God has done for me. He bombarded me with questions and he told me how irrelevant it was and how I was using it for social media reasons. He said there was no point in this and it angered me and I haven't felt rage in a long time.

So, I ran to the bathroom and told God that no matter the hurt I felt that I'd follow Him and not some man who clearly doesn't know what God is doing in my life. My soul cringes when I replay the words my father said to me in my head. I know that if I have hate in my heart I can not be righteous, but it hurts. And then I remembered :

1 Timothy 4:12 says this, "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity."

It's time for me to take up my cross.

It's time to stop playing games

It's time to get radical for God

Answer

When your family doesn't understand what God is doing in your life. Remember you answer only to God :D

The Art of Sola Travel : Future in Travel

On my #SolaVaca I scrolled through the television channels to find something to watch and I ran across one show on Hollywood Ex's and the other Sister Wives.  As I pray for my future, I talk to God on what I want and what He thinks is best. I'd really like the man I get in a relationship to be the one, I have no desire to play games any more. Marriage is serious. But, when I watch these shows, I see women who made excuses and didn't commit. It's as if the media has made a mockery of  holy matrimony and as sad as it is divorce is becoming so very popular but it is nothing I want in my future! Oh NO!

I remember when I was younger talking to God on how I would wait to have sex until marriage and so far I'm doing pretty good. 22 years strong but I want to have the same will power for my marriage. I want to be committed and dedicated to making things work and I pray that my husband would have the same. Giving up is easy but I want someone to build an empire with and anything worth having is worth the struggle.

I am officially no longer looking for a man...




And officially dedicated to finding what God wants me to do with my life

Traveling is so awesome I'm considering becoming nomadic.

Back in Florida when I wanted to travel the world and help people, I'm starting to feel the same.

If I could find a job that combined travel and helping women and children ...

That would be the perfect opportunity for me

SolaVaca :Day 3

Last night, I had no peace about a certain situation with a certain someone! So I broke my fast to investigate. Ultimately, the investigation gave me peace to sleep but I should have just trust God instead of listening to my flesh! I had heard from a significant person in a while and I feared that we had just grown apart but this morning, I woke up to a message from my buddy and it made me feel soo much better. 

For brunch, I was craving Puerto Rican Food and boy oh boy was it an intense journey just to get there but at least I can say I did it!

Above is my first stop but...

This is where I ended up 

It was delicious! But, it made me culturally aware of all the beauty God put on the earth! The infinte God didnt make us alike for a reason, there is beauty in diversity. This intensified my desire to travel and experience new things...

But for now I'll just be RiverWalkin'

SolaVaca :Day 2

Traveling has inspired me to be more and do more! Life is starting to feel like Eat Pray Love... I know that everyone is looking for love but I dont have to search for love from any man. The one man I was expecting to hold it down has dissapointed me but its all good! There is no need to search for any love other than Gods! 

I want to travel the world and help those I can.  As much as I desire a family and want children. Its time to live my life for God and have an amazing time! It's time to live it up ...God's Way! 

Lets get crazy!

Maybe A Mentor

I believe its easier to achieve a goal when you have someone in your life who is where you want to be. I'm starting to think I need a mentor to help me stay focused on my goals in life. I need to surround myself with more positive and accomplished people. When you are surrounded by successful people, you cant help but succeed! Time for me to take things to the next level! 

Make an Impact

I was asked to speak at a girls camp a couple weeks ago and of course I said yes without really considering the input needed for the job! So like always I put it off until the very last minute. God had been sending me signs to fast but I didnt want to sacrifice anything. 

But yesterday I woke up with my mind set to fast from food until after my speaking engagement. When I arrived at the ranch I was a little nervous. I was expecting a young crowd! 

However it became a diverse group ranging from 4-17! Raking on a group with different ages, personalities & maturity levels. I was thinking they would receive me well bit I'm so thankful to God that He put the right words in my mouth! I got to speak on Gods Love, Modesty, Beauty and Self-Defense. 

The girls enjoyed it they asked me to stay the night so I did. It gave me a taste of what it would be like to open my own girls home! I'm so thankful to God for His grace and mercy and I hope that He continues to use me! Empowering young girls is my passion and encourages me to  do and be better! 

 

Ready for the next step! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sweet Lesson in Modesty from Ali

 

As I workout, I'm noticing improvements in my body and boy oh boy do I want to flaunt off my hard work. Thoughts of tattoos and piercings have floated through my mind and then I ran across this article. I find this very amusing because I have been very focused on boxing and becoming a better fighter and reading this made me a better woman:

 

 

MUHAMMAD ALI'S ADVICE TO HIS DAUGHTER

An incident transpired when Muhammad Ali’s daughters arrived at his home wearing clothes that were quite revealing.
Here ...is the story as told by one of his daughters:
“When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my younger sister, Laila, and me up to my father’s suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to scare us. We exchanged many hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day.

My father took a good look at us. Then he sat me down on his lap and said something that I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, “Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to.
Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected.
Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell.
Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You've got to work hard to get to them.”

He looked at me with serious eyes. “Your body is sacred. You’re far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too.”

Fighting & The Flesh

 

After some very interesting events last night, I knew that I needed God and I wanted to be restored and I didn't want to feel empty.  because feeling out of God's Will makes me feel gross! So I talked to my buddy Adaeze about what was going on and luckily she just went through a drought too.. Thankfully she prayed for me and my mess and I prayed as well & its time for me to have a Funeral of the Flesh and a Revival of the Spirit.

So this morning:

 I was asking God what He wanted me to do with this passion for fighting. I told Him about my ideas for teaching womens self defense and He sent a woman who had been abused to the front desk. She asked about my bruises and told me her story & showed me her scars! Yess God! Women's Self Defense it is! 

My focus lately has been on fighting to be an amazing fighter when my focus should be on fighting to help women and children protect themselves from being attacked. Even though I felt so far from God because of my previous mess ups, He opens His arms to me. I 'm so thankful that He loves me so much! 

It's always Time to Focus on GOD!!!

FLESH DIE

Just last week God starting opening doors for me and you know what I did, I began to do things I knew I shouldn't do. I fell into temptation and I loved every moment of it but because I can not serve two masters, I feel so corrupt. God has removed "special" people from my life and instead of chasing God, I'm chasing these people to stay. My flesh is tooo strong right now and I need to get right. I feel horrible, disgusting and just unfit. EWWW.. I hate this..

Turns UP *PRAISE MUSIC*

Time to GET RIGHT
