You know how you sit and cry to God when you're alone about which direction to take, which decision to make, how to act on whatever things come your way???? And then you get the sign that you begged for and still find a way to go against what was thrown in your face? Yeah, that's been me. There have been plenty of situations where I have asked God to tell me what to do in this situation, and then when the time comes where I get that okay to do whatever it is that I should do, I talk myself out of listening to God and what he is telling me because I may believe that this situation needs more life or this person needs another chance. It used to be a major problem of mine, that in return, caused more problems for me because it is HARD to listen when you think that you know what is best for yourself, which we don't always know. Sometimes we are bias and allow people and situations to last in our lives a lot longer than they should, and we fight God in a sense because he gives us a lot of scenarios and signs telling us what we should be surrounded around and we choose to be blind to it. Because, you know when someone or something is bad for you. YOU KNOW. I know that once before, I cried to Him and asked him to show me a sign that I should leave my relationship, and looking back, he gave me more than my hands can count and I still did not listen. He started seeing me less and less, we argued more and more, I cried more and more, and I lost strength every single day. If I would have listened long before I did, I would have gained my strength back a long time ago and saved myself a lot of heartache. Today, I ask God for those signs and I listen and learn the first time...... FORREAL!
Girlfriends was by far one of the best television shows that I grew up watching, and still watch to this day... and when I think about the type of women/social circle that I would like to be around, Joan, Toni, Mya, and Lynn is exactly what it would look like. I remember starting off the sixth grade and traveling up until high school with a huge social circle filled with all these different types of girls and young women with varied personalities, values, and beliefs. Throughout that time, my social circle remained large, but there were some tweaks here and there and some people were not meant to last. What I mean is, we outgrow some relationships, we drain out some relationships, and we sometimes stop putting forth the effort to keep up effective relationships. Over the course of those years, I developed a lot of meaningful relationships and developed a slight sense of what type of people I wanted to be surrounded by. One of the major adjustments that I had throughout graduat...
