Wow! Talk about a hiatus! Actually, it's only really a hiatus if:
1. I actually really had a HUGE audience/group of blog readers who missed me (Hellloooo 3 blog readers! Haha)
2. I was never really online (which I have been, as you can see from my Twitter and Instagram posts)
3. I needed to get away to reflect about life
Number 3, is, however, kinda accurate. I have been reflecting on life and I've been doing a lot of thinking about where I am and where I want to be in my life. I've also been crazy busy (two jobs = no joke). So here I am now, on a Monday night, face filled with makeup (still haven't showered from taping earlier. Ew.) writing. Reflecting.
I think it's great to have Bible Study every Monday night because it really sets me up for the week. Tonight's Bible Study was very powerful because it tackled the topic: "What to do when you don't know what to do." Gaing noh? I wish it had given me a list of concrete things to do (don't we all just wish things came with a manual/survival guide?) but instead, it left me to reflect and ponder about how I am especially when I'm feeing lost or tired from life.
God speaks to us in the most unique and random ways. But nevertheless, His ways are always perfect. Tonight, after my dinner, I went on Tumbr and started scrolling down through pictures of delicious food, girls in bikinis (it's summer okay I follow summer themed accounts- I'm not a pervert!), shoes, Rihanna and Kardashian updates and of course, some spiritual and God themed accounts. I couldn't help but be moved when this post showed up on my dash. Allow me to share it with you all:
It's amazing how things speak to you, how things touch you and move you especially on days when life just seems to be getting harder, instead of easier. Reading this post made me reflect in my own ways, how I feel about MOVING FORWARD in life. And here's what I've come up with:

You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
Psalm 139:16, NLT.
Did you know that God has already recorded every part of your life from the beginning to the end? He knows every disappointment, every loss, every challenge; and the good news is that with Christ, your story ends in victory! God has written out a plan to bless and prosper you. When you choose His plan, your final chapter concludes with you fulfilling your God-given destiny. Here’s the key: when you go through a disappointment, when you go through a loss, don’t stop on that page in your life. You’ve got to decide to keep moving forward. There’s another chapter in front of you, but you’ve got to be willing to take the next step.Sometimes, we get so focused on what didn’t work out that we stay stuck, reliving the disappointment. If that’s you, recognize that you’ve been on that page long enough. It’s time to let it go and turn the page to the new chapter God has in store. You may not understand, it may not have been fair, but remember, the next chapter is full of blessing, full of favor, and full of victory! Make the decision to let go of the old so you can move forward into the abundant life God has in store for you!
