For The Moment...

So I decided to start a new thing called "For The Moment..." which will be a couple of things that I'm into for the moment...I'll do it every so often....enjoy

Me.

I have to work on myself.
For the past couple of weeks I have been more obedient with having quiet time.(Quiet time equals spending time to talk/listen to God.) A lot of the things that I've been hearing from Him have been amazingly awesome. I've learned that I need to be more patient with the things that I want. I have to have faith in God and all that He says He will do/has for me. But in my last quiet time, I got that I need to be more focused on myself. Now this to me was really good advice because lately I've been crushing on someone and most of my thoughts have been about her. I understood why God was telling me to do this so I had no problem with it. But I guess I didn't realize how serious God was about this. Today I learned that my crush likes someone else. I'm not that type to chance after people so I've decided to let the crush go. While this maybe sad (go ahead and insert your "awwwww"'s here), I'm not that upset. It maybe because I'm used to things happening like this. Or because I didn't have that much faith regarding this. But whatever the reason, I know that God made this happen for a reason. I'm happy because now I get to grow in a way that I probably wouldn't have if I was always thinking about my crush. Now I get to work on me, which has always been something that I have said but never really got around to doing. Right now, however, seems like the perfect time. School life has been great. My relationship with Dad has been awesome. Social life = check. The thing I could work on is my style though, lol. I really want to start being more fresh. (I can literally feel you judging me) But its cool. I'm just being honest.
I look forward to my continual growth. Next time you see me I'll be one fresh kid, who just so happens to have a strong faith, love in/for God.
'Til Next Time...

Fire is life. This is a phrase that is used so much to the point where it is almost a cliche. But what does it actually mean? Taken literally this phrase makes sense. Fire is used to decontaminate water, cook food, and provide warmth. All there of which are essential to sustain one's life. We need clean water, food, and warmth/shelter if we want in order to survive. "Fire is Life" also has a figurative/spiritual meaning to it. Lately my fire has been out. My fire for everything really, not just spiritual. My fire for, not only God but, my fire to overcome my struggles, my fire to maintain/strengthen my close friendships, my fire to clean my room (!), they've all been out lately. There's this vision that just came into my head that can illustrate what I'm going through. A person is holding a lit candle. There's always wind blowing the flame but it never goes out because the person's hand is covering it. However the person keeps getting distracted and he drops they drop their hand. The flame goes out. My life's been so distracted that I haven't been giving time to those things that should have priority in my life. Every time I go to light the candle that is my life/spirit the wind just knocks it right out. My hand is never there. It's funny because as I'm writing this I keep getting new images and answers from God. I got that even though my hand my not be there, His will always be there. I just have to find faith in myself that the flame won't go out this time. It has gone out so much that I've come to expect the flame to die as soon as i lit the candle. But the things that I've witnessed this week are examples of how its important for me to continue to have faith in every thing that I do. I have to light the flame. Wow. Honestly the only real thing that I've kind of been on fire for is dance. I talked about my love for dance before but I have to talk about it again. How can I say this? Hmmmm....I FREAKING LOVE IT! It's such a blessing in my life. Recently I've decided to take my dancing a little further. Krump. This is the equivalent to fire, speaking of fire. The passion one must have is astronomical. I respect everything about this style of dance. It's the personification of how I want to live my life. All things happen for a reason, right? So the fact that joining a fam and learning how to krump at this moment in my life has to be from God. The time in my life when I feel my flame has gone out, just happens to be the same time I join a fam? Wow. Haha. God's a funny dude. I look forward to the fire to come back. If you ask me, I'm ready.
