Date Night

night

So let me just spoil the surprise from now, YES I HAD FUN! Out of the blue, a friend who I haven’t seen in a couple years, since he migrated, called me. Much to my surprise, he was in Jamaica and wanted to take me out for my birthday (a week before my birthday). Now, […]

Stop and smell the roses

Roses

I don’t know about you but I love nature. Nature, in many ways, soothes my soul.  I used to find it so amazing just to get up on a spring morning and hear the bees buzzing away in the three ackee trees that surround my house. Their work always filled my yard with yellow blossoms. I […]

Be very sure

thinking

One of the things I never want to have to deal with is a man who is not sure he wants me. A man unsure of how he wants to stand with you will never give you want you need. I remember when one of my best friends met his fiancée. He told me, “Chan, […]

Contemplations at 23

April 16 was my last day as a 23-year old. I’ve been very contemplative as I review the year that I have gone through. The highs, the lows and the in-betweens. As usual, I’ve learnt a few lessons that I want to share. I’ve began declaring into the atmosphere that year 24 will be a […]

I Met A Man… (Follow-up)

Chanel

When I was in my first year at university, I had a math lecturer who had the tendency to say “This one will separate the men from the boys.” when he gave us a particular complex math question to solve. I took that statement to heart when I realized how appropriate it is for life. […]

I Met A Man…

For the last year or so, I’ve have spent my time and energies primarily focused on rediscovering myself and God. This journey has been amazing! Over the period, I have encountered many males and frankly I have never felt compelled to look a second time. I have been very focused on God and me. This […]

God Speaks

meditation

Last night I wrote my first post for the year. In this post, I spoke about taking a page from David’s book and executing my one point plan for the year which involves getting closer to God and watching the pieces fall in place. Imagine my surprise when I woke this morning to find this as my Bible […]

Watch the Pieces Fall in Place

I must first apologize for not posting anything since the beginning of the year. This lack is not due to the fact that I didn’t have anything to say. Rather, it is a direct result of feeling off whenever I put pen to paper or in this case, fingers to my keyboard. As a result […]

I am THANKFUL

Thank You

As I knelt praying a few moments ago, I found myself reflecting on how I was almost four years ago and immediately I felt thankful. Sometimes we take the simple things for granted but if we just take a moment to look back… If you would just take a moment to remember where He brought […]

The Epiphany of a Lifetime

I must say that I had the epiphany of a lifetime yesterday. I mean, this is the kind of enlightenment that makes you want to cry and rejoice all at once. Man I don’t even know which one to do first. All I can say is that God is truly incredible! Let’s get into the […]
