Where's your faith?

I do not consider myself a very religious person, but I do believe in God and the power of faith in him. I guess that make me religious, huh?

As Christian’s we are taught to give God our troubles, worries and problems through prayer. Then have faith in God working them out. I notice that we all forget these basic rules.

In the last month I have reminded several of my friends and myself of these. I admit it is hard at times. You continue to think about the issues troubling you. Contemplate solutions to your problems and stress over your worries. Holding on the them like a bad habit. Shoot, this is many people's main bad habit!

I have often wondered where the line between letting go too much and having faith is. I know that may sound strange, but I think that sometimes God shows us what we should do and we miss it. Like when we completely put our troubles, worries and problems out of our mind we are so far from the issues that we miss the solution. Though, when we constantly keep them on our mind we’re not allowing the resolution to be revealed either. There seems to be a line that I have not been able to find in between the two. Maybe it’s just me…

Over the last month I have watched faith work in numerous ways. Job promotions, new jobs, buying homes, new and renewed relationships, money come through at the right time and more. It is an amazing thing. How when you believe in God, your heart, and mind that things will work out how well they actually do!

My question to you is where is your faith? How you put it next to your bible (wherever that may be right now), in your car’s glove compartment, boxed up with your dreams or in your back pocket?

Wherever it is find it and use it!

The Wedding Industry

Today while chatting with my girls we began discussing the wedding industry. The hoopla and money associate with a wedding. During this conversation I stated that how happy I am I didn’t stick with the original budget we had for our wedding. How I would be mad if I had spent that much now that I am married. Some times I feel like I am anti-weddings. It might be from being on The Knot (TK) since this past July. Or seeing couples, especially the women, put so much work, time and focus into their wedding and its over in a snap! Some spend a year or more planning their wedding. Researching, looking, buying and stressing over every detail of it and the day is over before you know it. I am NOT saying don’t do what YOU want, but do NOT get caught up in the hype! I mean seriously, would you put this much time in planning a party? A get together? A retirement party? Nope... so why your wedding? It's technically a party. It is a celebration of your union. Definition of wedding (1) a marriage

Inappropriate Questions

I am the queen of asking questions. I ask because I rather ask than assume, but I try not to ask inappropriate questions. If only others would do so too! Here are some I get and/or hear. “What grade are you in?” Um stupid motherf’er I am GROWN! Notice the diamonds on my left hand and my wedding band. The nice business casual clothes! This is a question I get atleast once a month from some random stupid person that don’t know me and they usually get a rude response. I mean if you are observant enough to look at me and think I’m that young you need to really be observant! And I’m a sistah, yes with a H! Yall know black don’t crack! “When are you due?” This one always makes me laugh when someone ask a woman who has a muffin top stomach and is NOT pregnant! I know it’s funny to me since I don’t get that question, but still how ignorant is that! “When are you having kids?” Um lets see, never! Why are you all in our sex life? I mean really! I am going to start saying, “We

The New Yorker Cover

I was not going to address the New Yorker’s broadly publicized cover, but since it’s all over the place I will! It portrays Democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama, in a Muslim outfit and his wife, Michelle Obama, in a militant outfit. When I first say the cover on theybf I was very upset. I understand freedom of speech but wow! It seemed like a blatant attack on Obama’s campaign to me! I was appalled at how they put it up, on the cover of all places. Then to have the audacity to call it satire! I know it was sarcasm, but just like some jokes, it did not come across well. Atleast to me! I spent some of time on Monday and Tuesday reading responses and explanations to the cover. I was not as upset after reading some of them. Others made me want to scream. Tuesday, Obama was on Larry King Live. I really enjoyed this interview. At the beginning Larry King asked Obama what he made of the cover. His response: “Well, I know it was the "New Yorker's" attempt at satire. I
