Brand Spankin’ New!

I’ve been 25 for a month and 5 days here’s some things I learned: 1.

1. I’m tired of talking about men – too much time and energy and effort goes into talking about men. Tired of the stories: Why won’t he do this? Should I do this/that? Why do I keep thinking of him? Is he thinking about me? I’m so sick of the whole thing, truthfully. There’s only one man in my life that’s worth telling everyone about and I want to talk about Him everywhere I go. How often do you think of Him? I don’t talk about Him enough. Christ is all!
2. Did you know that happiness is a choice?  Choose to be happy. It doesn’t mean that everything is well with me but I decide not to let it control my day. I don’t need to walk around like the world’s biggest victim. I was created for a purpose, which includes living, walking and breathing in joy.
3. It looks like my home vacation is over – I spent a lot of time at home this summer. Last year – this was not the case. I had my car and I was everywhere I wanted to be. This summer was a welcome change of pace. Admittedly, part of the madness was that I never wanted to be home… (long story). But now, I have my own space. I usually get no rest in the summers – but this time – I did. I’m glad I did. I feel energized. I’m not trying to keep up with anyone but myself – its called Essence Living for a reason. I’m the one living it! Hello! 
4. I’ve started praying again. This is huge for me – I was on a several month hiatus – not being able to verbalize my prayers but I have no problem saying them now. I’m so glad that He’s been so patient with me.
5. I need to find a crew of more focused indiviuals – there are things I want to do and places I want to go. I need to surround myself with that. Jesus did – when He was on earth He got himself a crew of 12! Eagles don’t hang with chickens. So if you’re unhappy all the time, always complaining about something, never satisfied with anything, can’t find a reason to smile or praise, got some bad habits that you’re not trying to fix – to the left! Ugh – shakin’ you off! I want to be better and you can’t do that with negativity around you. Remember: Eagles don’t hang with chickens.

That’s all for now!
