1 in 3 people under the age of 30 don’t believe in God. Unfortunately that number is growing. It’s not my best times that made me a believer. It was my worse times where I wanted to give up or just got tired of life where something in me said God is here & God will take care of me. People let me down but something in the universe always made me feel I’m not completely alone. There’s plenty of times I’ve felt alone with people but it’s when I’m just with me & just reflecting on snippets of nature I feel most at peace. At that time I feel I belong to something. Strange but true.
How To Refuse Being Unhappy
I heard something powerful today. It was ” I refuse to be unhappy because someone else is okay being unhappy. That’s when I got wrapped up in the Lord. I was made for happiness & to spread happiness.” I truly believe God’s blessings are infinite no matter the circumstance. If you ask for peace and blessings, God will deliver someway, somehow.
God in the Eyes of Children
Recently I started a project to ask children to draw God for me. I have always been told children are the closest to God. So far, I am fascinated by the project. The pictures are anything but human. I think I might collect the pictures to see if I see any trends. So far it seems the sun is a very popular and important factor about God. Children do amazing things without realizing it. Ask children to draw God for you. It’s worth a look.
My Thoughts on MLK Day
Happy Birthday Dr.Martin Luther King jr. Thank you for changing America for all people,not just Black people. When I was young people use to call it a black holiday and write excuse notes from ceremonies so their children wouldnt have to attend a black holiday. I hope now these same children pick up a book and learn what was accomplished and still needs to be accomplished. Dont continue the trends your parents promoted. I like to be a trend setter, not a follower. Please do service on Monday. Without the actions that were done I wouldnt have gone to schools i have attended with diverse people , minds and cultures. I wouldnt work around people I am glad I came across in my life. God bless everyone with knowledge. Knowledge is power and kindness is cure for all of mankind. -Briana Booker, founder of Fromgirltogirl
The Power of Prayer
So one of my New Years resolutions is to pray more often. I decided I would pray at least 21 times a week. I did not want it to be prayers of need but prayers of thanks to God. I decided to do this after learning about Jesus continuously praying to God through out each day of his life. It inspired me. I am trying to grow my faith in God and myself. In the Bible it states through God all things are possible. I believe in it. For New Years Eve I sealed a wine bottle my loved ones( including my life partner)had a drink of wine. I put two leaves of my praying plant in the bottle. I put rolled up papers of everyones prayers in the bottle. I would like to think that God is listening. There is power in prayer. I am working on making it through the week. If I can make through the week, then I know I can commitment my faith. -strongBriana Booker, Founder of Fromgirltogirl via mobile./strong
To Find Love: Learn How To Manage Your Weaknesses
By Briana Booker
Weaknesses. We all have them. If we did not, we would be perfect, but I have not met any perfect person. Shoot, I am not perfect.
With that said, weakness is nothing to be ashamed about. You can find love even with having weaknesses. You just have to learn how to manage your weaknesses the proper way so that you have control of your destiny and can live a prosperous professional and personal life.
Acknowledging your weaknesses instead of hiding them is important. For example, I am stubborn and have a bad temper when I feel I have been wronged in a romantic relationship. My temper is the worse when I question why I was mistreated because most of the time I try to give my all to the one I am committed to having a happy and healthy relationship.What can I say? I am a loyal and stubborn Taurus.
No relationship is perfect but if you are given bread crumbs constantly in a relationship while you are offering a luxurious feast, you should find real love. No man or woman that truly loves you would treat you bad constantly…that is not love. That is controlling and abusive.
Living life, I realized losing my temper was not the way to be happy or resolve romantic dilemmas. I realized I needed to learn to work around the flaws of my partner and promote him to do the best for our relationship.
I can not change the past. I can not erase the males I gave a chance to build a healthy and worthy relationship. It is in the past. All I can do is live in the present.
I must live for the now and treat my new partner the right way. I need to work as much as he does to make things grow into something beyond my assumption that all men cheat or lie.
Not every man is a cheater or liar. Not every woman is a cheater or liar.
Once I stopped making assumptions and predictions about how my relationship would go with a man, that is when things started to look up. I took time to forgive the mistreat of my past to open my soul to someone I like to think is working to be worthy of me.
I can not predict the future. I can only live in the now. And right now, I am taking a leap of faith with the man present in my life. Even if he may or may not be the one, he is teaching me a great deal about myself and him. I am thankful to God for putting a man in my life driving me to grow into better not worse.
My best advice is take your time. Ask questions. Do not be quick tempered when you are confused or uncertain. Most guys, if mature, will try to resolve things with you when they have made mistakes in the relationship. Know your worth. Give him space sometimes to be himself. He will return, if he truly cares for you. You can never keep a man away from a woman he truly loves as much as he loves his life.
