Baby Shower

On January 15, 2011, I was showered with nothing but nice gifts for the baby shower for Baby Euri Makhi Jenkins. I was very grateful and thankful to have loving, caring and supportive family and friends to share in this beautiful day. The atmosphere and decor was amazing! Special thanks goes out to Whitney Wynn and Christina Robinson for putting everything together. I am so thankful for the two of you. Not to mention everyone else who assisted them in making this a very special day for me and my family.

It's very hard for me to sit back and let someone else do all the work as I'm so used to having my hand in something. I must say Whitney and Christina did a wonderful job! More importantly, I thank the Lord for all his blessings each and every day. He has done and is doing things for me that sometimes, I know I don't deserve and for that, I'm grateful, thankful and very appreciative.

No Title, No Subject, No Topic....Just Random Thoughts

Sometimes I ask myself, is my life really suppose to be this way. Is it suppose to be better? Is it suppose to be worse?

Why do I become acquainted with certain people? I know everyone plays their part in my life; however, I still wonder why?

I understand that I've been placed in certain people's lives to push them, to help them move forward, to motivate them but....what about me? Who motivates me? Who helps me? I guess I have to do it on my own. People look to me for answers. Guess what....I don't have all the answers and I never try to. If I did, I think this thing called life would be a tad bit easier, just a tad bit. I continue to ask God to provide me with the tools needed to do what he has called me on this earth to do.

There's a Reason for the Season

Have you ever wondered why you always have to deal with certain situations? Have you ever wondered why you come in contact with certain people? Have you ever wondered why? Why? Why?

Yeah I know, I know. I've been there and occasionally revisit those same questions. Whether you know it or not, there's a reason for every season. We have to realize that God is molding us for the wonderful things to come and we have to learn to appreciate the process to get there. Though it's hard, all things come together for the good of those that love the Lord. I'm preaching to the choir. Can the church say Amen?!

 I always wish things were easier than they are; nonetheless, I also know that if it were easy, everyone and their mama would be doing it *in my ghetto voice* Honestly, I don't think everyone is cut out for entrepreneurship. Some people are made to work for others but me....ummm....I wasn't cut out for that type of work. No, I don't get a kick out of having people work for me so don't take that sentence and judge me as being arrogant because I'm not and I'm far from it. What I do get a kick out of is being able to provide opportunities for those in need, those that need jobs, those that need some type of assistance. That's what I like. I get a kick out of just....helping others.

I understand there's a reason for the season. Often times, we never understand what we're going through and the reason we're going through it. Really, it's not for us to understand. We must do our best to weather the storm and keep it moving. Trying to figure out the reason why would just keep us at a standstill.

::Sidenote:: It feels so good to just write out my thoughts and feelings. I know I've been sleeping on my blog but I'm back! Aaahhhh I'm glad to just write, write, write! Have a wonderful evening. :-)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! WELCOME 2011 WITH OPEN ARMS!!!

Happy New Year to all my readers!!!

What are your new year resolutions? Do you have any? Did you keep up with the ones from 2010?

Well, well, well....I don't have any new year resolutions. Why? If you may ask, I don't feel the need to have any as I'm working towards being a better Makeva, better mother, better fiance, umm....yeah I'm engaged now! Better friend, better EVERYTHING! This will not go on only for the new year but I will strive for this each and everyday.

2010 was good to me. Goodbye 2010, it was nice knowing you. You brought me lots of learning experiences and I appreciate them all. 2011, we have a lot to accomplish and the time to start is now! I'm ready!

Happy New Year to you all! I wish you a very prosperous new year and remember, the only thing that comes to a sleeper is a dream; therefore, if you want something, go get it! Point blank period! No time for excuses.
