7th Day of my Journey

Greetings and may you all have a blessed week, I am on day 7th of my Fast and It was hard for a couple of days.. I had written this long entry explaining everything.. but It accidentally got deleted.. anyways.. I will leave you with the important points


Fast: Day 7 and will keep going.. not so easy.. I was addicted to Internet and netflix.. =) but I am doing it.


Family:  I spent the weekend with my nephews and I took them to see HOP, I had promised to do so before my No Internet, TV, Music Fast and I had to keep my promise, plus we spend quality time with each other and that's important to God. Loved the movie its a must see =D, I love the baby bunny , he reminds me of my nephew and the Pink Beret girl bunnies are just like my niece. 


And today we went to 7 am church service  to Thank God for everything so that sacrifice makes up for the movie, and it was a sacrifice to get 2 kids up at 6 am to go to church, but they Love it so it was worth it.  After service we had a picnic in our front yard and we had a blast.


Also I truly believe that blessings are coming our way, my church has churches all around the world and we are all in the same faith with this fast. So I know God will send and bless us with the Holy Spirit. It is written in his word that when 2 are in agreement here on earth, it will be agreed on in heaven .


Mathew 18:19
Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth, concerning any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.




May you all have a blessed week and enjoy your time with loved ones.. yesterday is History, Today has gone by, but tomorrow is Promised to no one..


take to enjoy life and its wonders and to smell the flowers

To GOD goes all the Glory !!


Yesterday I logged into my Schools web site and I found pictures of my Commencement Exercise. So I went through the whole Library to see the expressions on every graduates face, and I loved seeing their faces. I saw Tears, Happy Smiles, Eyes deep in search for their love ones among the multitude of faces. And a whole lot of Cell Phones..=D

And it brought back memories, on that day as I was walking towards the stage I felt this unexplainable feeling. My eyes started to tear up (after I had told myself "Don't cry" ).

But it was unexplainable..I felt a rush of emotions all in seconds.. two steps away from the stage as my name was being chopped when being called out.. all I said was Thank You GOD!!
I was overwhelmed by what I was about to experience, see I had a hard time getting my degree, I had family obligations to my parents that I needed to focus on , that took me away from school for a couple of semesters, but I have no regrets, I grew up and I became responsible. I had to get a full time Job and help support my parents, and on paper it shows that I was no longer a dependent student and now I was considered independent so they kinda want you to pay your tuition. So it was almost impossible to be able to work full time and afford to attend school. But I am so grateful to God that he opened the door and made it possible. I could not have done it with out the support of certain angels. First and Foremost THANK YOU!! GOD for giving me the strenght to accomplish this. Second Thank you to all my UCKG/IURD Pastors for their Prayers and their Guidance and for teaching me that "with out Sacrifice", nothing can be accomplished. At work my friends had to cover me on the days I was not in, And my special partner in crime who would go with me to look for supplies,and books that I needed . He would look on E-Bay and half.com for texts at a reduced price than what the book store was selling them. and I had to work on weekends to make up my work hours and of course a big Thank You to my HR. and former Manager and new manager for working with me and allowing me to work the weekends so that I could afford to go to school two days out of the week. And many co-workers and friends who believed in my potential and who supported me emotionally, always telling me how proud they were.

That meant the world and kept me going. Specially on my many sleepless nights , see I had 2 days for school and had to get assignments done in the evening because I had work the following day. Many days I was running on 3 hours of sleep. All that rushed into my mind as I was walking up to the stage. And at that moment I was pleased with myself. I began my college career trying to please my mother. But I finished it pleasing myself and learning that there is no such thing as impossible, when we put our minds to it.


But the best part was sharing this with my nephew and Inspiring him. Seeing the Sparkle in his little brown eyes and listening to him tell me how he is going to go to College and he is going to have a Blue car and take me shopping. That was as Master Card says -- Priceless!!





  • Abnormal Psychology Text book on ebay: $60
  • "A" on a term paper that took the whole night : $10
( Monster Energy Drink and Green Tea)
  • The Look on my nephews face as he wore my Cap and imagined himself a College Graduate:


" PRICELESS!! "

I also have a 4 year old Niece and I hope that when she gets older, I am also able to Inspire her.
