A Woman and a Fork~ the best is yet to come!

There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her things 'in order,' she contacted her Pastor to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. 
Everything was in order and the Pastor was preparing to leave when the 
Young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her. 
'There's one more thing,' she said excitedly.. 
'What's that?' came the Pastor's reply. 
'This is very important,' the young woman continued. 'I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.' 
The Pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say. 
That surprises you, doesn't it?' the young woman asked. 
'Well, to be honest, I'm puzzled by the request,' said the Pastor. 
The young woman explained.'My grandmother once told me this story, and from that time on I have always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of encouragement. In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.' It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming...like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance!' 
So, I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in 
my hand and I want them towonder 'What's with the fork?' Then I want you to tell them : 'Keep your fork ..the best is yet to come.' 
The Pastor knew that the young woman had a better grasp of heaven than he did. She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge. She KNEW that something better was coming. 
So the next time you reachdown for your fork let it remind you, ever so gently, that the best is yet to come.

Togetherness

"Turn your lights on real quick, take a breath of fresh air
Put your feet in brand new kicks, buy the most expensive pair
Now doesn't it sound great, now doesn't it sound fair
Oh it's how life should be, every day without a care
Now get in your car real quick and drive to the nearest business district
You've seen it a million times but I bet this time you've probably missed it
There's people that need your help that are down on luck, but truly gifted
Can you spare some change for food, but you tell them no while claiming you're christian
Ya'll sit and watch Cribs every day, talk about these stars and their pay
But when a needs right in our face, we just keep walkin' away
Do we dare just keep what we got, walk on the with life on our blocks
Don't take a little second to stop and see where the focus is dropped
'cause it's our life man, we get one chance to make it
So those in tuned to this stereo here's your chance to take it
I wanna do something good, something worth it, something true
Take some time to erase the blue, it starts with two, me and you

Look into his eyes and
Tell him that he's dyin'
'cause nobody is tryin'
Nobody's beside him
I can see him cryin'
But he's still survivin'
Why do you deny him
Why do you deny him

We make all sorts of excuses and stay so far and exclusive
We say they'll clutch and abuse it, use it on drugs or they'll lose it
But keep in mind these are people we never invite in our steeples
We need to fight off this sinning that keeps our mind from all giving
I want to be near it now, joy of God, do you hear it now
Who am I to ignore the sound of people screaming crying out
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
I want to give it all, because my God gave to me first
And when I hear that call, I'll know that God's taken my dirt
Away from me and not by actions, but by grace and love
Just give 'em something man, if not the money at least a hug
How can we see them in the gutter drinking rain water
Not feel compassion even though we're from the same Father
We lock the doors to our cars when we pull up beside 'em
We cross the street when we seem 'em instead of just passing by 'em
We turn the cheek on our brothers, why don't we speak to our brothers
It's time to change, I'm gonna be different, time to eat with our brothers

We build a church on every street you see across the nation
And every week we give our money and feel that good sensation
But then we turn and try to show off to the whole community
'cause bigger buildings and more members takes the place of unity
Meanwhile there's somebody starving on this side of town
While we cook massive meals for every congregation crowd
And then we wonder why we don't see changes in our neighbors
America's dying 'cause we won't get out and feed the strangers
Do really think this Jesus stuff is going to have an impact
To someone begging for a nickel just to get his kids back
You can't expect salvation just because you came to speak
When he's tuned out 'cause he's more focused on just trying to eat
As christians we got things mixed up and now it's time to fix it
We need to stop just talking, maybe show some actions with, get it back on the Its time to get us running back on this track
And I'm a try to feed the world before my God comes back" ~Lyrcsist



How have we gotten Gods main goal mixed up? To love each other, not judge each other.

LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT

Life can be good. Life can be bad. Your glass can be half full. Your glass can be half empty. Its all about perspective. Stay positive!!!
Negativity is so easy to get caught up in. Especially when it comes with others around you. Its easy to get caught up in what people say or do, wether they intentionally or unintentionally hurt you.  
No one can define you unless you let them. You are your own person. You have your own journey.
Let people say what they want about you, because in the end, you can conquer what they say is impossible. I mean the Bible is packed full of ordinary people who werent defined by what others said about them and instead decided to trust God and suceed.
All it takes is a little step of faith!
Dont fear failure!
And make the best out of everything!
Pop your bubble of negativity

And dont be afraid to take chances!
Take some positivity and pass it on.

Cause life is what you make it!!
Believe!!

One theme has seemed to play over and over and over tonight. I dont believe its by chance. No, in fact, its God. MY GOD IS HEALER!!!!! He heals my brokeness, my broken heart, my broken friendships. A God of second chances, is in the process of healing one of the most important relationships to me. My God Is HEALER!

Been thinking alot lately about how dependent I am on God vs how dependent I want to be vs how dependent I need to be.
God is so many things I need. The scriptures above really say it all!!
He is everything His children need, so I question myself as to why I fight with just letting myself depend on Him.
He is the Master.
He is in control.
With God, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!

My fashionista icon



Audrey Hepburn has to bethe greatest fashionista of all time. She was beautiful, simple, elegant, classy, and even modest. My favorite is her little black dress although I enjoy wearing all of her essential pieces. She has a timeless and sweet feminemity. <3
