On the Sixth Day...

It is Day 6 of the Daniel Fast, and a lot of things have come to pass.

The semester has started, and the assignments are clear as day.

But there were things I did not understand. This morning during my quiet time, I discovered the word abundance. Now, it refers to what we have in great quantities. There is a great quantity of time. There are great quantities of knowledge I have. But what we do with these qualities may lead to things becoming idols that rob us of both.

This morning, the Word became so clear. For the past week I have been trying (and failing!) to fast off of the news and limiting social media that I have almost no sight of the forest beneath the trees.

For now, it is time to refocus. God is still on the move. He will always move. I will receive it and believe it.

Monday, I have to go through the process of confirmation. And classes start Tuesday. Welcome to another round of hard classes and nearly sleepless nights. I hope to return with some updates throughout the semester. Until then, see you later peeps!

Unmasked

I've had a lot of things on my heart and mind lately. Somehow, I have entered a new season in my life without even realizing it. I'm not the same person I was a year ago.

Interpreting social cues has been a long-standing weakness, even as I started this blog almost four years ago. Sometimes, when I read old posts, I do not recognize the person I was when I wrote them. Writing them was a way to channel the raw emotion I've held inside. Looking back, I could have channeled my emotions privately. I don't know for certain how the future will look like moving forward, but things are so much different now and I am still learning. As a digital citizen on the Internet, I have a responsibility and an obligation to live authentically and humbly, and to spread positivity and

The Realization

Many things happened during the nearly three years of law school. When I started this blog years ago, I struggled to figure out who I was. The only difference between high school and college was that I had obstacles. I had barriers that no person in their 20s should have faced. Don't get me wrong; I had obstacles in law school, but I overcame them.  It should not be a shock to anyone that I persevered through the law school obstacles, with the only obstacle left being bar admission. I am graduating with a law degree nobody can take away from me. Here I am with a message to my younger self. It's a message I wish she had heard while going through the education program. The message I heard was to find somewhere where you will shine. If she were to hear that now, transfer schools. My younger self did not deserve to be somewhere she had been gaslit at any turn, where she was called a liar when going to board meetings instead of chapel service, and she certainly did not deserve the l
