Wow its been so long. A lot has happened in the last 6 months. I completed an internship this summer with a marketing and communications firm in Dearborn.  I got to do a lot of really cool things, like plan Nascar events, fly to L.A., plan Golf Classics, attend award events and meet a lot of really cool people.  It has been such a great experience, but school is back in now.

Since school started I have been primarily focused on the Orienation Process for my sorority and looking for internships.  I will be graduating this year so I am on the grind. 

I moved off campus with two of my friends/sisters, Portia and Raynai.  I love those girls, they are crazy fun and we all have the same personality. 

Well thats enough for now - MORE GREAT news to come.

Let Go in 2007

Its been a while I know.  (please read the message below) I hope this message below helps you transition in to the new year happier, wiser, and with a greater hope then 2006.  God Bless and I love you all.

Let it go for 2007..
By T. D. Jakes

There are people who can walk away from you.

And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from
you: let them walk.
I don't want you to try to talk another person into
staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you,
coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.
When people can walk away from you let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

The bible said that, they came out from us
that it might be made manifest that they were not for
us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued
with us. [1 John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you.
And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.

Let them go.


And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just
means that their part in the story is over. And you've got
to know wh en people's part in your story is over so that you
don't keep trying to raise the dead.

You've got to know when it's dead.

You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you
something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth
spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's
that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll
give it to me.
And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging
people to stay.

Let them go!!

If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and
was never intended for your life, then you need to......

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains .

LET IT GO!!!

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and
see your worth.....

LET IT GO!!!

If someone has angered you ........

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and rev enge......

LET IT GO!!!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction......

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or

talents .

LET IT GO!!!

If you have a bad attitude.......

LET IT GO!!!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better......

LET IT GO!!!

If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take

you to a new level in Him......

LET IT GO!!!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken
relationship.......

LET IT GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try
to help themselves......

LET IT GO!!!

If you're feeling depressed and stressed .......

LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so
used to handling yourself

and God is saying "take your hands off of it,"

then you need to......

LET I T GO!!!

Let the past be the past. Forget the former things.
GOD is doing a new thing for 2007 !!!

LET IT GO!!!

Get Right or Get Left
. think about it, and then ....

LET IT GO!!!

Faithful Visionary

I have had to make some hard decisions since school has started, mostly about me and ministry.  But strangely enough the decisions have both been about the same things, "not compromising."  I can't compromise who I know the Lord purposed me to be to please others, or make others like me.  I wont try to make others change for me, so I would expect the same.  All I can do is keep showing everyone that good Godly love and pray. 

I also cannot compromise the meaning of ministry in order to make others feel more comfortable about the choices they make or the life they lead.  If you don't want to live according to the bible then fine, I will be the last person to judge you for it.  Yeah, I was there too at one point.  You just have to do what is right for you.  But I think some people may get confused about being a willing member of a ministry and understanding that their lives stop being about them and start being about positively helping others with their walk with God.  And in order to do that, they have to minister not just with the instrument that God has blessed them with, but with their lives as well.  People don't stop looking to you for spiritual guidance once your done singing or dancing or preaching or whatever.  If your going to talk the talk you are obligated to walk the walk as well.  You have to be living examples of what you minister about, or else you could compromise the walks of the people you are ministering too and allow others to accuse you of hypocrisy. 

I know it is not always easy.  It is never easy to go against what is "popular" or "normal."  I have to fight temptations to do things that I know could be compromising, but that are considered "normal" behavior for a college student.  But once I decided to be apart of a ministry the choice was no longer mine. 

Not always to my liking, I am aware that God has placed me in a position in which I have to make that stand and not compromise Him for anyone.  Its not always fun but necessary in order to help myself and others grow. 

Thought of the Day:  "Just do you, as long as your not hurting anyone else's relationship with God"

Lord direct my path

What can I say about my life right now.....

Lots of opportunity but not enough time. I feel like anyone in the world would be joyous to live the life I live right now. And I am extremely grateful for all I have, friends, family, health, education, beauty, wisdom, and above all that an amazing Father to guide me through life (My Lord).  So why do I always feel the need to do more and be more than I know my time will allow.  It's like I am always striving for this perfection that is unreachable but since I am a perfectionist I reach anyway's.  That wouldn't be so bad if the reaching didn't wear me out so much.  I know this must seem crazy and I tell myself all the time "Dorthy you can't do everything, its alright to say no."  Maybe one day I'll learn.

The wedding was amazing. James and Katie were a wonderful groom and bride.  A lot of us from CMU went to the wedding and it was so much fun. There was a mini praise and worship service before the actually wedding (that was a first for me).  I have been having such an amazing time this summer. Too bad it has to come to an end.  But this semester is supposed to be even better.

THANK YOU God for directing my path.
