Still Choosing.....

"Because you never know where life is gonna take you and you can't change where you been, but today, I have the opportunity to choose...." - India.Arie

This past weekend I went back to my alma mater (still doesn't sound right saying it, but Thank God..) for Homecoming. First, I had an AMAZING time. I probably had TOO much fun :) But most of all, I had a chance to reconnect with my amazingly-genuine-consistent-FUN-LOVING friends. I also had a chance to kick it with some of my favorite people back at Miami too...and I must say, I was really happy to see them. I appreciated the break and it was much needed!

Sometimes, we go back to our beginnings to see how far we come, and to make sure that we do not forget from whence we come. My years as a student at Miami were some of the GREATEST, and also some of the most DIFFICULT times of my life. Going back there helped me to realize how strong I have become, and how much I cherish the experience. I have grown so much since Miami, and i have grown so much because of Miami.

As I traveled back to Baltimore, I couldn't help but remember God's promises to me, of peace and love, and of Joy, and of a DESTINY...and going back to Miami was a reinforcement of that. I am so grateful to God, for grace and mercy (even in the midst of my craziness)...and for also continuing to push me to greater lengths. I can't change where I've been, I can't change the decisions I made or didn't make, I can only choose to continue to press forward and take the world by storm with love in my heart, and God pushing me forward.

PEACE.
