I gotta make a shedule!!!

The workout process is still flowing and I am still loving it, all my life the workout was never really the issue, it was the food. It seems as if I have cut back which is great, but the times I eat are really off. I am gonna committe to placing myself on a shedule. Due to the nice weather, that God has blessed us with, it has encouraged me to get outside and do some walking or some type of excercise outside. I love going to the gym and I will continue to go, but I am gonna try and stay devoted to at least three to four times a week at the gym. I have to also add, that I am gonna attempt to run a 5k in may. Key word here is "attempt"..lol. Seriously, I want to do this, and not for any event or anything, but just for me. I haven't accomplished much I would like to have, but I think this will be somthing that I will look forward to and a challenge for myself. In the end I wanna  be able to say that I did this and of course with God by my side. So I am gonna be getting ready to prepare myself for that also, so....Yay Me!!!
   So this week will be basically getting that together and  first and formost I will be praying that everything will work out for the good of God. I have found myself being so busy, that I am not given God the proper time that is due to him. He still loves me and he is still keeping me alive and well, but I feel, that if I can give more of my time to other things. Things that he created, then I can give him all the time that is required to him. I don't want to just do this, to just be doing it. I am doing this so that I can be alert  and ready for what is about to do in me. It is good to have him in my life. I don't know what I would do without him.
  I also have to include my photo process in on this, because it requires my time as well and alot of it, might I add..lol. I did a shoot yesterday of a mom and her son, they are members of my church, but more like friends to me. They are the nicest mother and son and I enjoyed my time with them. I was asked to do a wedding, that will fall on my birthday, how cool is that, I am excited and nervous at the same time. I will go into details on that later. I also will be doing a few prom photos and and engagment session alone with a wedding reception. I am really just taking God with me on this photo journey, that he's given me. I want him to keep working from behind the lens of my camera. He is really blessing my small business and all honor and glory goes to him.
 I have to end this now being that it is one a.m. and I have to get up at six. I leave with this thought I want to be a good steward and do all I need to do for the kingdom of God and not worry about what I don't have. He's my father and he will supply my needs, use that thought and live by it, because I am.

Feeling It!!!

Well, let me just say I am so sore, at the gym last night, we worked on some Abs workout and I am so so sore, I feel the tightness in my stomach. This is something I gotta keep at just like the machines. I know this will get better for me and I want give up. I however, for some reason has been not eating right and nor have I been eating a lot, if that make since. Well, what I mean is that I have been eating some days after the workout and I don't think that, that is a good ideal, but this upcoming week, my goal is to get my meal in before workout and then after, I will grab some fruit or something. I am gonna stay on this thing people and I an not gonna give up. I didn't mention, but I have to get in my these two dresses I bought last summer. I can wear the dresses, but I don't like the way, they fit to me and women you feel me on that, but my goal is to have them fitting the way I want before Easter, so I gotta keep it going and with God helps, I know that I will keep going.

I wanted to add about the Japan quake from yesterday, it was so sad to hear about and my heart and prayers go out to all who have lost someone. I know that we are living in our last days and this is what is spoken in the last days, but to see it taking place, is just so sad. I thank about all the ones who died, that didn't know God. What a sad thing to occur, one moment your breathing and then the next your lifeless.We as Christians really need to start spreading the good news, so that other lives can be saved. I am speaking on myself as well, I don't spread the good news enough either. I am so thankful that God is watching over my family, I got a real scare yesterday because of my two cousins, that were both up in that area of the quake. God is so good, one of them were on a ship out in the ocean and his boat had just docked, now if that isn't God, you tell me who it was, God is so good.
 
Well, I will be posting more another day, be blessed!!!

God is still working!!!

 Well, God is still doing great things in my life as well as for others around me, because he is keeping us all alive. I don't know what God is about to do with me, but I do know that it is good. I wanted to update on my weight progress, I have joined a gym that I have become in love with and I really feel the progress taking place..lol. I really love working out I am gonna keep that apart of my life. I thought I would struggle with the food, but even that is falling into place and I know that it is all God. I have yet to weigh myself , I don't want to get discouraged, with the weekly thing, so I have decided to just do it monthly. God even worked the payment out so that I could afford to keep the membership, he is so so good.

I am still working with the kids and enjoying my time with them, it seems like It was just yesterday, I first started on a job basically where I am not being stressed or treated like a I am less of a person. I thank God for all the other jobs I went through, because I know I had to go through all that, to get away from something that had me bound. I will be moving on from this job soon as well and I know that God has something else waiting for me and it will be even better.  I just wanted to do a small update, and so excited about what God is doing and about to do in my life.

God's Working And I Can See It!!!

 Well, it has been a mintue since I last updated my blog and since I am making a new with everything eles, I am gonna keep this updated and make a new blog for my photography bussiness. God is so good and you hear a lot of people say that, but in order to understand why they say that, you have to have God leading your life. My job is still flowing and the boys are the same nothing much has changed with them, other than height:) I haven't been worried about work once I leave this family, because I know God will supply my needs and he has been all alone. I recieved my very first pay as a photographer, on Jan 2, 2011. I was so happy and just in unbelief, that I didn't know how to recevie it, but God has my back and I am seeing that, and I gotta have his too, so 2011 I wanna give him my all this year.
  I wanna talk about my vows that I gave when I received christ as my lord and savior. I vowed to let him have my life and to do as he wanted to with it, and I vowed to be a new creature and to let the former things go and to leave them as former. I renewed my vows and no I haven't been sinning or anything, but as Christians we all need to be refreshed and with this it helps you grow in christ even more. I have things that wasn't done in 2010, that should have already been done and I refuse to carry those things into another year ignoring them as I have done. I want God to move like never before this year, so I am gonna let him take full control. I can't tackle these things along and I need Gods help. It's like an object you have to put together, but you need the manuel for help. That is how I feel, I need God's help to get through, these things, that I am about to tackle. I know that the ememy is gonna come and I am ready to handle him, so I tell him now. You want keep me held back any longer, I am moving on.
  I am still single and no guy has caught my eye yet, but I haven't really been thinking about that lately, now don't get me wrong. I would like to have the marriage and kids and the whole family thing, but it's not something that I have to have or i'll die if I don't get married as some people puts it. I feel that right now in my life,my single hood is very important on what God is about to do with me. He knows me and I know me as well, I need complete focus on things that I want to do. So if God includes a mate for me while he's working with me, that is part of the plan, that he has for me. In the meantime I am totally doing God's will and waiting.
 One thing I believe that God is working on me with is ministering to others. I do it yes, but not with strangers like I should. That's not good, because I plan to get into a little mission work and it's out of the country, I know if I can't talk to the strangers in my own country,how will I do it in another Country. So I actually did some  witnessing to a white family that just moved into a black neighborhood, where our new church will be. My singles leader went with me, and the presence from the son and dad was very pleasant and receving. I wasn't really nervous or shy like I thought I would be, but I plan to do even more witnessing to strangers and I am so ready. I have a trip to a nursing home on the 19th and that is gonna be very good.
 More on my life as a photographer, so I am loving this everytime I pull out fugi(that's what I call my camera..lol). Like I said receieving my first pay really was unbelievable. This is not to brag or anything, but it's like your doing something great and people like it. I personally just snap the camera and then do a little editing and really not knowing what I am doing at times, but the talents I have God gave it to me. I have to use it to the best of my abilty. I am still learning and want to learn more on photography, so I am gonna be looking into some digital classes. God is with me and I know that he has a lot more in store. I just have to be ready, for the ride. I will be making another blog to post my work real soon.
   The child that I keep during the day, will be attending pre-k next fall and I will be moving on. I don't know what God has in store next for me, but I know it is good. I am getting my debt out  of the way as well and I have a fiancial partner, that is helping me out. She helped me see something, that I hadn't been seeing. I have three jobs I am a nanny, a babysitter and a photographer. So I have no worries about wondering about what I will do about money once I leave my nanny Job. God says he'll supply our needs and all we have to do is see that and so I will just keep that in my heart as I have before and keep praying that my all my business will keep growing. Well, until next time I will update more information!!

A Story To Tell!!!



Me and Kiplin  looking at the oldest Mason, as he take our picture.
Kip is too cute!!!



 I work as a Nanny and I teach two little boys. The oldest is seven and the youngest is three. They are a joy to be around. I take pictures of them from time to time, because just like teaching, I also love taking pictures. Well, today  I decided I would take some pictures of the boys. The oldest wanted to take pictures of me after I took his, he did  really good. I just did a little editing and added some soft touches to the photo's. I just wanted to share his work.

My singles group at the Aquarium in Atlanta Georgia



lol..this otter was too cute!!



What a great day this was to get out. I had a great time at the Aquarium with my singles group and looking at God's creations, it really just  had me reflecting on how amazing  God is. I was so nervous about going inside the tanks. My fear of water is so crazy and I had to remind myself that God hasn't given me a spirit of fear. I still couldn't actally tackle that fear, so I went into the biggest tank there was at the Aquarium and I was still nervous, but I did it. I can't wait until our next outing. Here are some pictures I wanted to share!!

These fish are so pretty





The tank I wouldn't enter and got a shot of it from the back

Getting In Shape With God

It's not good to be overweight at all for heath reasons. Living for God and doing the things that he is calling you to do, you need to be not only in shape in the physical, but also in shape in the word. I have been dealing with my weight every since I was a kid and I have tried many diets. I learned that Diet's are not what I need; I need to get more in tune with what God will have me to do, to get in the shape that he needs me to be in. I am setting a goal weight and praying that God will renew my mind during this process because to me getting weight off is discipline and total control of the flesh. I am praying that God will help me start telling my flesh no and when it gets to hard, I pray that he will step in and take charge

So I have been in a routine of walking while taking God alone the way and it feels great.  I have been at it for about three weeks now. I even did a little jogging along the way, gotta start out slow...lol. Here is a picture of me at my biggest weight. I will keep updating as I down in size. Below is a picture of me at my biggest.

I can do all things through Christ Jesus who gives me strength...Philippians 4:13
