I'm blessed beyond measure to have these beautiful people in my life. Sharele, Jamila, Cass, Ty, Tiffany, Casilda,Diamond y La Kimberly. You each showed up at the right time in my life.
Ellos son mis primos de parte de mi padre. Era mi primero vez para conocer a ellos. Ellos vivan en Chicago con la mayoria de mi familia (de parte de mi madre, padre, y padre biológico). Ellos tienen corazones tan grande y hermosa.
These are my cousins from my father's side of the family. It was my first time meeting them. They live in chicago w/ the majority of my extended family.
So I am a tad bit behind on the 30 day blog...so lets just call it the next 30 blogs. lol. I jumped back into a full-time summer job in MD and have been quite busy with this transition back to the states. Trying to figure out my next steps while patiently waiting on the Lord to continue to reveal His will for my life. Transitions are tough and I have been experiencing some emotional highs and lows.
I am a recovering Type A personality, so being in control and understanding every moment of every minute of every hour of my life is important to me. As a result of all of these changes and the need to make decisions I felt myself slipping back into Captain Jettie mode (I'm your hero!).
I know where that road can lead, so I decided to confide in a friend about this struggle. She listened to my concerns, asked questions that challenged me, encouraged me…and most importantly pointed me to the cross. The following day I met up with a good friend and we had personal devotion about faith and trusting in God. Today after bible study a sister told me to lean not on my understanding but to trust in the Lord. Literally 10 minutes later a friend texted me to read Proverbs 3:5-6 and i look on facebook and another friend posted an encouraging video.
So in a nutshell this video describes my mood. Last night I felt like my prayers were ricocheting off of the walls in my room. I couldn't hear Gods voice. Yet today I am so thankful that God has reminded me that I must Trust in Him with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding; in all my ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6 )
What a great day for this topic. Today my parents celebrated 22
years of marriage. Felicidades mami y papi...los quiero~...
My mother is a teacher and my father is in the navy. Both of them
were born and raised in Chicago, Ill.
Mi primer amor ... fue un par de zapatos de cuero de patent leather. El año era 1988 y mi tío me trajo mis primer zapatos de baile. Mi familia vivía en Norfolk, Va en Pine Wood Gardens Apartments en el 2do piso. Todo el apartamento estaba alfombrado con excepción de una pequeña sección de madera, por el camino de la puerta. Cada dia que desperté me ponía los zapatos y toque mi pequeño corazón hacia fuera. Les llevaba a la cama tambien....ayyy recuerdos
My first love... was a pair of patent leather tap shoes. The year was 1988 and my loving uncle brought me a my first dance shoes. My family lived in Norfolk, Va in Pine Wood Gardens Apartments on the 2nd floor. The entire apartment was carpeted except for a small wooden section by the door way. As soon as I woke up I would put the shoes on and tap my little heart out. I even wore them to bed.
Siempre Pensando....Always Thinking. My mom has always taught me to think before I speak... so I think alot. Sometimes I'm in my own little Jettie bubble. I decided to put my thoughts on a wall for everyone to see. Mi madre me enseno a pensar antes de hablar...entonces yo pienso mucho. A veces yo estoy en mi propio mundo. Pues, decidi a escribir mis pensamientos en una pared para que el mundo vea.
