25

I'm headed into my 25th year of life. I feel way too grown; but yet, still like a little kid. Some people say 25 is marrying age. I don't know...I don't think I could do a man any justice right now.
Part of me doesn't feel ready to grow up. And then, part of me is ready to step into a new season. I'm embracing God's work in my life, as far as what he has called me to.

And then, there's the watching of the coming together of law and ministry and my life. It may sound like a very strange combination, but they are going hand in hand for me....can't be separated. I know some people think I'm just way out there (E.H.), and I am. But I can't help thinking about the fact that one day, the only things that will matter are what we do for God. Nothing else....

Me and my lil cuzzin E

I asked him to be good:

ambicioso82: i am bein good
tbissorich: hmmm, well, i hope so
ambicioso82: im lyin
tbissorich: that's what i thought

the date doctor

My roomie is headed on a DATE! Her first one, after 23 years of life. I'm so proud.

inspired by J.N.'s poetry

Okay, it's interesting how everyone in my age group is talking about singleness, dating, marriage, etc., a whole lot lately. It seems like I can't have a conversation with anyone without it coming up. It's kind of cool to know I'm not the only one thinking about it.
My thoughts--well, I know that I'm definitely happy as a single now, but one day, maybe in a year or so, I wouldn't mind dating some ...mighty man. I know that I never ever ever want my heart broken again, so the next relationship has to be a mature one. I also think that the man I marry has serious vision being birthed on the inside of him for the black community and urban youth. How do I know that? It just seems like it would have to be, since that it what is so strong on the inside of me.
I also know that any man I date has to read the following: (1) THe Five Love Languages, Gary Chapman(2) Myles Munroe, Purpose and Power of a Woman, and (3) Dr. Creflo A. DOllar, THe Successful Family. Why, cuz we are going to do this thing right! Right, Dana?
Those requirements alone probably just eliminated over 95% of black men. : ) (jk) Would I date outside my race? Probably , but right now I certainly prefer not to.

Anywho, as for right now, I wouldn't mind having a guy friend to talk with, study with, hoop with, and all those fun things that friends do. Question to the readers: do you think women with degrees are still considered to be intimidating?

gotta say sumthin

MY HEART IS SOO TOUCHED. I LOVE FACEBOOK! I LOVE FRIENDS!!

anyway, so this facebook stuff is so cool. I've already gotten in touch with a few people who I've been wondering about recently! COOL. It's fun keeping in touch. I'm not that good at keeping in touch. Like there are a few people who I actually pray for and think about often, and just don't get to talk to. I've been trying to tell more people that I'm much better with email than the phone though; especially with school and work and music and my future career to think about.
COOL--Vito and Lew, the coolest prosecutors on the east side of the Mississippi, have both emailed me. My heart is touched. Does it mean that you're getting old when you have friends your parents' age? Well, these are cool peeps, and they have lots of good insight on legal careers and stuff like that. VITO, LEW, JAMES THE INVESTIGATOR, YALL ARE THE COOLEST, and you made New Jersey so much of a blast for me. You too, Pastor Dollar. : )

Today--pulled over by the cops. But, tune in on Tuesday night at Selah campus ministry; I think I'll share my FAVORable testimony.

FACEBOOK

Oh my goodness! If you don't know, you betta ask! Facebook is all that. I've only been on for like a week and already a slew of old friends from the Lou have gotten in contact with me. I'm still learning the ropes, but it's so much fun sending notes and stuff. Here I am in the library supposed to be studying for the week, and I'm catching up with some old homies who I've actually been thinking about lately! It's so cool. Okay, so sure I'm behind the times, and everyone's known about facebook forever. But give me a break....All I do is Jesus, purpose, school, and work.
(give or take a few) : )

Why Did God make black men so attractive?

Somebody help me....

how much time

Do you ever wonder how much time is left between now and the rapture? Like, so at what point do you drop everything you're doing and go yell in the street full time, "REPENT!! FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND!!!"

Mark bought us pizza again last night. He's such a sweetie, and Darrian's date is underway, GLory be. Now I just gotta find Dariel's date, and we'll be all set.
As for me, dating is fun and all, but I don't really have time I don't think. Don't get me wong, if some fly guy with the h.g. asked me out somewhere, I might roll. But, I want my next relationship to be the reel deel, b/c i don't got time to play with these lil boyz.

My shopping list: more pants suits, undiegarlies, boots, weave (maybe braids or those fake locks), curdoroys, turtleneck sweaters, and many many many scarves. If you wanna bless me, email me for the address!

You know, I think I should send Pastor Kevlo on a date too.

LYFE

LIfe really is a blessing. I guess the part that sucks is the hard times. I mean, it's inevitable that things will come, even Jesus said it. Then there's the challenge of overcoming those tough times, like when family members aren't up to par, or situations or circumstances seem too hard. But in the end it's all worthwhile when good things happen. Like breakthrough, deliverance, NEW LIFE (Go Mariah, it's ya birth week), prosperity, friendship, and some other cool things.
Sometimes, it's hard not to look at it like a game, especially since most people on this earth know nothing about purpose, and they basically just live so they can work, and die, and then their children go on to do the same thing.
But then, there's the kingdom of purpose, where you know you're here for a reason. But then, hard times still come then too. It can be rough, but fun too. Does that make sense?

So with all that said, what do I want out of life? My purpose fulfilled, and that's about it. If that means a family, then great; but if not, then fine. If that means I live in one spot, fine; if not, fine. I can no longer live to satisfy the expectations of those around me. I'm kind of glad about that. I got things to do, and can't be thinking about what errbody else is thinking about. So for all the haters..Bump you (just kiddin). I love u with the love of GOd, but you got to get on, 4 ya get hit on

wsup with me and God

Okay, so have you ever had a friend that you felt like everytime you talked to them, they had something crazy to say?
Well, that's me and God. It's mutual. I've probably had some crazy things to express in my prayer times. But He certainly is providing some crazy (to me) instructions. It's been interesting, and I know it's just the beginning.

I've been thinking about some things lately. (1) is how I can't wait to leave East Lansing, MICHIGAN. This place can provide somewhat of a comfort zone if you let it, but I'm certainly not one to abide in comfort zones. I gotta get out there. But, if I do stay in Michigan, I gotta move closer to the best Pastor in michigan--BISHOP!!!!! I love that man, he's totally been used of God to feed my spirit.
But I realized that I do have an all time favorite, and that's Pastor Creflo A. DOllar. He has taught me more than anyone else on this earth probably. Don't get me wrong, i totally wouldn't mind packing up and heading to the ATL. I LOVE ATLANTA, GA. But it aint the will, at least right now.
So, what's really up these days? THIS G.O.S.P.E.L.

been a while

a lot poppin off here lately. So my niece should be here by a week from now, so I think I'm headed down to the STL this weekend. YEAH!!!
Church has been off da hook--My Bishop Butler be bringing it for real. And, the ladies from Bible Study have all been hanging out more these days: shopping together, hanging at each others houses, etc. etc.
So last Thursday it was at me and Ann's, so hooked up a veggie meal. All those carnivores tore it up.
Friday night we went to Entheos and the Word was ALL THAT AND A BAG. He said some good tips on dating, too. I saw Jody Green there, and we joked a little. Saturday, Women of Virtue was off the hook, and then me and Quita and Shameka went shoping together. It was fun.

things are going well though. I've been thinking a lot about the future, as in life after law school. I think I've narrowed it down to a few things, but God's gotta plan. Where am I going? I know where I want to go, but God's got a plan. : ) I think some people will be very surprised about where I will end up after East Lansing, Michigan
