Ready for this Ride!

Well... here it goes! 1st blog for 2010! Wow! What a journey it has been to get to this place! 2009 was an amazing year, full of surprises and wonderful experiences! I loved living every moment of it! The reason that I have not written anything is because I have been truly thinking about what I would write about for my 1st blog of 2010. I know, it's something that would not seem to much of importance but being me... it is. :) As I was thinking and thinking... I returned to why I started this blog... as you have read in my previous blogs, I have a passion to help young women. I have seen so many ladies struggle with themselves for years and it hurts to see them struggle silently. I , myself have gone through emotional struggles and know what it can be to feel like no one else understands you. I have sat with many ladies, as they look at me and ask me; how do you live a life that you are content in? How do you learn to accept yourself for who God created you to be? How do I draw closer to God when I feel so far away from Him? How do I deal with my past when it is constantly haunting me? How do I deal with my low-esteem? And the list can go on and on... as I tried to comfort and really just share my personal experiences and what God has done in my life, I felt like God was allowing me to look into the world of these wonderful females that God created Himself. Beautiful, talented women who behind "closed doors" are completely spinning around in circles with so many questions. The reality of it is that many people don't see the "behind the scenes". People look at the outside life but they fail to see behind the curtain. They don't see the pain, the tears, the sweat, the long sleepless nights, the burdens, and the questions that they deal with day in and day out. As women, we deal with these issues everyday and many times very silently. When I began this blog, I really had no idea where this would go. I have been so encouraged to find that what God has given me to write has been able to encourage other young ladies! Since childhood my only desire has been to let God be the one who directs my life. I never knew that this is where He would have brought me... and I feel so overwhelmingly privileged. Ministry to me has been defined as solely SERVING God's people. I have always prayed that if I can live my life and touch one person's life, I would be content. 2010 is a year of promises... 2009 was amazing and there were so many promises that were fulfilled but I believe that 2010 is going to be the year where we will see our prophesies come to pass. This is going to be our year; that the dreams that we have been dreaming will finally become reality. I wish all of you the best in 2010 ... go out and dream to the stars! Remember, that God is the King of dreams and He can make the impossible possible! Never give up on what you desire... there is no mountain too high, no dream too far to reach with God on our side. We are only a couple of days into the New Year and God has already begun to shower His blessing upon my life. Thank you for joining me on this journey that God has placed in my heart... I look forward to sharing my heart with you...
