Do you put it into effect?

What is Intention?
Thomas DeMichele

Good morning my lovelies! How have you all been? Feel free to leave comments. I would love to hear from you all. I know that it has been a good two weeks since I have posted, but I didn't know any topics. No one left comments on the last couple of posts to tell me about some things that they would like to be talked. Well, last week I was in the car with my mom on our way to church. While we driving, this song named Intentional by Travis Greene began to play. I fell in love with the song immediately. What's funny, is that I ended having to sing it at church today. Isn't that cool?!?!? No, that's okay. Anyways, I recently launched my photography business named Start of Time. Y'all should follow my instagram page. The name is @pixational. Now onto the other important stuff. The information you have been looking for.

Topic of the Day- Intention

One of the reasons that I restrain myself from doing different activities is because of intention. I can have the ideas, but with no drive or intention, why do it? So, I decided that it was time to change things. Now, whenever I want to complete something I question the idea first. There are three questions that you must ask yourself first before completing a task. They are:

1. What is your intention for doing this?

2. How can you help someone?

3. How can you help myself?

When one has no intention, they have no drive for doing anything. They have allowed themselves to go with the flow of the world rather than going with the flow of God. I can attest to this statement because I didn't really want to take the spotlight. I would rather do the work and have someone reap the benefits. I no longer do that, but I was like that for a long time. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life, or what I wanted to even do in the moment. I liked following other people's orders/ directions rather listening to God's direction. The hardest thing for me at times is completely to God. There are times I question rather doing the task he gives me. I must thank God for not giving up on me after all this time. My words to you all (from today's' message at church) is DON'T allow yourself to wallow in the river of regret. From this moment on, you are going to step into new places and new graces.We are stepping into a year of supernatural blessings. Even when life seems too hard, you must believe that it will get better. Why you ask? Well, God has a purpose for all of our lives. It may not seem like it, but we were meant for greatness.This is where pure faith comes into play. You must take that chance, and strive for a better you, a better life, and a better mental setting. That is all for today, so please leave comments about what you think of today;s topics. I am always willing to give advice when needed, or to just pray over whatever situation you are going through. Make sure to follow my instagram pages @miraculousd__ and @pixational. I hope everyone has an excellent week.

Over and Out, BM Beautiful Me

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
