My Purpose

My Time.....Be Patient

My Purpose

Patience is one of the hardest things we as people have to deal with. Instead of waiting and enjoying what is happening in our life at this moment we always want to rush the next phase without even being ready for it. I constantly hear people including myself often saying things like I can't wait until I'm rich, I can't wait until I'm married with a family, or I can't wait until i find a new job with more money; without even knowing if I have a plan on what to do when that time comes. What good is it if you become rich and not even have a plan on what to do with the money then lose it all just to end up right back where you were? What good is it to get married to someone you think you love just to find out she or he isn't truly your soul mate?

Over the years I have constantly prayed for patience and asked God to allow me to trust in his timing. For I know when he feels I am ready for greater things, then he will bless me with them. When I finished school, I was looking for a job, but I kept getting rejection letters no matter what I would do. This made me question God a lot and constantly ask him what was I doing wrong not knowing that he was only testing my patience. I remember my aunt and my mom telling me just to be patient and trust God, for when he is ready for you to have that job it will come. I took their advice and low and behold he blessed me with a great opportunity which even allowed me to move to Houston. I understand patience is hard to have, but I've learned when you stop worrying and looking for things to happen, that's when they will start to happen.

I challenge you as reader to enjoy the phase you are currently in in your life right now, but continue to never settle. Use it as a time where you can explore who you are as a person. Use it to make a plan for when that next phase in your life do come you will be more prepared for it and ready to make the most it. Worry less, but always expect more and believe that YOUR TIME IS COMING!!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
