So, I have been working for Texas Christian University as a College Adviser with College Advising Corps for the last two years. It has been a pleasure serving Seguin HS with college access. Because it is a service job, it was only a two year contract. As sad as I was to leave my students and job behind, I was very optimistic and anxious for the next steps! My contract ended June 30, 2018, so I began searching for job opportunities since December 2017 because I do not procrast

I have recently been feeling disconnected from some of my friends, some of my hobbies, and some of my passions in life. I can never put my finger on why but it has been a very uncomfortable feeling. I am currently in the season of job searching, approaching my final year of graduate school, and managing my personal life all at once. It is a lot going on, but I just find myself not presently living in the moment. I do not talk to certain people like I use to. I do not do some

Growing up in a Holiness church, I was taught that pants were a sin - so I only could wear skirts and dresses as a young girl. Due to that, I use to feel insecure as a elementary student because I didn’t look like everyone else. And it wasn’t just the pants that set me a part - ultimately, I stood out. I was different. I AM DIFFERENT. I never could honestly fit in. The skirt dilemma was just a noticeable thing I wanted to point out, but I really felt like man, why can’t I fit

Have you ever felt like you were on top of the world – as though you had it all together, then suddenly – you feel like you have no purpose? You suddenly feel like everything you have been doing has been a waste of time? You suddenly feel like life has no meaning because nothing makes sense anymore? It is such an uncomfortable feeling. It is a dark place where your mind travels when you begin to feel like you have no sense of direction and that you are just living life just t

I’ve realized that 2018 has been a year of “Revelations” because God has been revealing a lot of things to me. And in the midst of all of my revelations, they all have one common denominator - letting go. Letting go has not been the message for just me, but for my friends, my family, my church, and for my students. We tend to hold on to so much that has hurt us. The old saying “I will forgive but I will never forget” can be a contradicting statement because you are telling Go

So let’s just get this out there in the open - I talk a lot lol. I speak my mind, I never hold my tongue, I’m bold with my opinion and my beliefs, and I will never sit still and not say what’s on my heart. On the flip side of that, I like to debate. I like to get the last word out. I like to prove a point. Mainly the point is I’m right and they’re wrong lol. And sometimes, I get emotional (well a lot of times) and when I’m trying to express how I feel, I don’t always think be

Scripture: 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 NIV Growing up in church, I use to hear how we must have “faith the size of a mustard seed”, and I use to think, just a mustard seed? My seed can be as big as a watermelon or as big as the universe. Of course I was like nine when I thought that haha, but I truly believed that my faith in God and the things he can

When an ambulance or fire truck drives past us with their lights on, as drivers we halt. Stop. Pause. Because we foresee a warning, a caution, that danger is near. We must get out of their way by moving over and halting, so they can save some lives. God will have a huge sign warning us that danger is in the lane, yet we do not halt. We do not get out of the way. We attempt to deter the way we think it should go. But we get mad when we get a ticket or violation for not followi
