When you attend college, you know it's a four year term, well, at least for those who aren't playing around. You know that once you start college, without a shadow of doubt, you're gonna graduate because it generally takes four years right? You also don't expect to have drama, unresolvable issues (as it appears), complicated lengthy term/research papers, late night studying, early morning classes, broken hearts, back stabbers, scams & fraud, jacked up credit or any of that right? BUT you do know that if ONLY, if ONLY, if ONLY, you can get through all of that, you already know you're going to successfully complete those four years and graduate right? In saying that, you know and you don't know certain things but you do know that in four years, all of those things will be things of the past and you're now on to seeing better days right? Yeah, better days! *sigh* More after the break.

Trying to Stay Humble
So I'm gonna get that Bentley Coupe that I so desperately want. I'm gonna get the Range Rover as well. I'm gonna get the house with the stairs that my daughter wants. I'm gonna be making a million plus. How do I know this? It's all been told to me. God said, I will get all that I ask for as long as I'm obedient and faithful to his word. I'm not perfect; therefore, I ask for forgiveness and repent for my sins. What I'm praying is that I will remain humble once I have accomplished all my goals. It's easy to be humble when you don't really have all that you want. It's easy to be humble when you're on your way to the top. To see your name/face/company info on billboards, commercials, you've gained your celebrity status and you have that million plus in the bank, is it really that easy to remain humble?

Random Thoughts
I NEED PATIENCE!!!
I'm not feeling it today. I been kinda down. Anyone that knows me, know that I'm working really hard to get my foundation off the ground. I try to stay on the positive side because so many people are looking up to me, depending on me and believing in me to make things happen. I feel like giving up today. The only reason I won't is because I remember Tyler Perry's story as well as Michael Baisden's. They didn't give up and I'm trying my hardest not to give up also.
Every time I start feeling down and I have thoughts about giving up, I always get another confirmation (Read Listening When He Speaks 3/18). I left the house this morning to run errands, deliver the sponsorship proposal to various companies in Palm Beach County for the Youth Scholarship Benefit Dinner and purchase Monica's new CD. I felt so down because I feel like I'm working so hard and I'm not getting what I should be getting in return. As soon as I made it back home (working from home today), I logged on to check my email and I received an email that my non-profit organization is being nominated for a small business grant. It's for $1000. Of course, we need more but every little bit counts. I say that to say this was yet another confirmation from God that I should be patient and not give up. As you read this blog. Vote for Makeva Harold Foundation, Inc. to win this grant. Please see the link below. Thank you in advance.

Listening When He Speaks
For two years I've been struggling with something God told me to hang on to. It's not that I don't want to hang on to it, I'm just tired of waiting.
God gives everyone a message. It's up to you whether you listen or not. Speaking to you as well as myself, we all should listen when he speaks because he knows what's best. Matter of fact, he knows us better than we know ourselves. Over the past three years, I've grown more into God and I have a better relationship with him. We talk all the time. Every time I'm about to make a very important decision, I speak with him and ask is it the right thing to do. The decision I make is not always what he tells me. Sometimes I'm in denial and I want what I want so I'll do it anyway then say to myself, if it's a success then I know it's God, if it's not, it's still God, he's just telling me NO because that's not what he told me to do and I did it anyway. Though people on the outside looking in don't quite understand why I do certain things, it's not for you to understand. I've spoken with God and he has told me my next move. He has told me what I deserve, what I'm going to get and he's gonna give it all to me in his time. He also said that this isn't going to be easy but I'm giving it to you anyway because I know you can handle it. I can't tell you what he told me I'm getting because that's our secret ^_^ but I will tell you what he said it's gonna take to get there and this is for my readers too because he may have spoken to you about your own situation.
This particular day I cried, I cried and I cried. I prayed to God and laid everything on the table; feelings, questions and all. There are two things I want so bad and I work so hard to have them both. God has told me he's going to give them to me but I need to be patient. He's not going to give them to me when I want it because I'm not ready to have it and it's premature. He says all things need growth including me. Remember I spoke about tunnel vision? He confirmed that I'm in the tunnel, the toughest part of my life. Sometimes I go back on his word and say I doubt it's gonna happen. I think I'm psyching myself out because I want what I want so bad. Then God steps in again and confirms that I'm going to get it, just not yet and that I need to press forward. I've never been so confused about certain things in all the days of my little 26 year old life but God says it's on it's way. I know God works in mysterious ways so I'm sitting back wondering what is he gonna do to make these things happen for me. I don't know; all I know is he says it's gonna work. When I feel like it's not working or it's not going to work, I try to run away and my little confirmation runs me down and hits me smack dab in my face and...I smile again. Anyone that has a relationship with God, understands where I'm coming from and anyone that does not, you'll get it later. I go back and forth with God all the time about the message he gave me. Is it really gonna happen God? Why do I feel humiliated? He says you're suppose to feel humiliated, it humbles you. Then I'll say, I'm throwing in the towel, it ain't happening; I think I misheard the message. Then God steps in again and says, Child you are gonna get what you ask for, keep believing in me!!! Every time I have a negative thought and I feel like giving up or throwing in the towel, he always gives me my confirmation in a different way that this too shall pass and I'm gonna get all that I ask for plus more. I need to be obedient, live holy and lastly, listen when he speaks.
