A lesson from our robot overlords.

Slow and steady win the race.

I've said it time and time again.

and I believe it, I just hate that it's true.

I mean think about it, who doesn't want to be an overnight sensation?

Our robot overlords didn't.

Did I just loose you?

 

I was thinking, in 2000, and the dawn of all these major technological advances, every one was screaming Y2k, the worlds gonna end soon, america is doomed, robots are taking over. 

That was 13 years ago.

13 years ago.

13. years. ago.

13 years is a long time.

(13+ because 2000 wasn't where it all started)

I hear all the time, how technology is getting more and more advanced, I think it's safe to assume that the general consensus is it's moving at a surreally rapid pace.

The thing is, It hasn't been rapid at all.

Tupac died in 1996. There was a hologram of him in 2012.

16 years.

That's a long time.

You catching my drift?

The point is this.

13+ years ago, technology was just a wee little baby starting to blossom.

13+ years later, it runs the world, it runs our lives.

It is overlord of all human kind.

Slow and steady really does win the race.

Do you have a dream?

Be patient. Do the work. It will come.

Slow and steady wins the race.

It's really that simple.

Just look what happened for our Robot overlords.

.Cycles of Life.

I woke up this morning, to find that everything was the same, per usual, yet again.

Not a single shred of evidence that this supernatural life, The all seeing, all knowing, all loving God that I claim to love even existed. 

How is it my purpose in life to bring glory to God even half the type I myself ain't feeling him. literally, and figuratively.

Back at square one. I'm not sure how life keeps bringing me back here.

Everything is the same. yet again. I'm frustrated, frustrated, and a little frustrated; also did I mentions I was frustrated.

Life keep bringing me back to square one. The same problems, the same prayers, the same perception.

"except", God told me, "Things aren't the same".

I am changing, He is changing me, from the inside out.

With every move I make, with every decision I decide.

A slow and steady growth occurs.

Even while nothing is changing; everything is changing.

Like the clouds God is always moving, it just take standing still to see it, in all it's glory.

I woke up this morning to find the everything was the same, per usual, yet again.

Here I am, Back at square one.

only this time, it's the 5th edition.

.Drop Kicking Truth.

Last night, for a solid hour and a half, I helped my friend dust her house, much of which was without dust.

Shelf after shelf, statue after statue I wiped, I polished, I dusted.

All the while thinking to myself, "This is stupid and I'm tired. There is no dust. WTfool are we dusting"

As I got on my knees to dust the bottom shelf of the table God whispered in my ear "Why wait until you see dust, to dust. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there"

There really wasn't anything I could say, I mean I knew exactly what he was talking about.

A lot of times, I skip out on prayer and quality quiet time with Jesus because I don't see a need. The general reason why I choose not to do something is because I don't see a need. I realized I base most of my decisions on whether or not I see a need.

On my knees laughing because God just drop  kicked me in the heart. I realized Whether I see a need, doesn't mean there isn't one. I am only a simple human being with the attention span the size of a gnat. (I officially pronounce the G since Mordecai did on the Veggie tales version of Esther.)

God sees all, as in everything, so if he directs me to do something, well then folks, I reckon I should do it. He knows what he's doing.

It's as simple as that.

 God really does think of everything.

Literally.

.Works of Art.

Another dead line has come and gone.

Another dream seemingly crushed because thing just didn't go as planned.

Another reason my heart floods with doubt and frustration and mounds of disbelief.

There are many things I am not.

A closer is one of them.

I often pride myself as being a free spirit, and credit my desire for adventure and openness to try new things to that.

However, sometimes, like today, that feels like a cop out for "never finishing anything" or "never following through". Sometimes, like today, I wish everything about everything was simply different.

*sigh*
Such a God thing to do.

 My sweet friend wrote about remembering who you are on her blog today, and I absolutely was touched. I prayed this morning, and in that prayer I simply gave my heart and my life back to God, and after that prayer he led me to Rae's blog post.

While, I often times feel like a failure, God reminded me today that I am a work of art, a majestic tapestry, a ten million piece puzzle. There are so many unpenned pages left in my book that'd I'd be foolish to doubt, fear or not believe.

God is working on me, every moment of everyday.

Even the broken pieces are being used to weave my tapestry.

Today, I called myself a failure.

Today, God reminded me that I was a masterpiece.

His masterpiece.

.Certified Fabulous Monthly Challenge. (March)

I couldn't be happier that the 'Certified Fab' Challenge has fell on day 6 of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week(NEDAW) AND Self harm awareness day! These struggles hit very close to home, and are part of the reasons Certified Fab was created!

My prayer today, as it is everyday, is that those who suffer in silence by such a consuming darkness can get the help and freedom they deserve, and those who know someone will learn how to calibrate sensitivity to help, and the firmness to not be an enabler.

Love is louder, recovery is possible, freedom is worth it!

The First of every month I have dedicated to ME!

A shameless celebration of who God created me to be.

I know from the outside looking in this may seem like a vanity project, but for someone who lives in a perpetual state of self loathing this is a healing process. Trust me;)

Each month I will list 3 different thing about myself that I like, 3 different thing about life that I am grateful for, and 3 insecurities that I have reconciled.

What do I like about myself?

I like that I am open to learn.

I like that I am flexible with what I want without being a pushover. 

I like that I don't hold grudges.

What am I grateful for?

I am grateful for the people I met through The Kite Project.

I am grateful for adventurous heart/spirit.

I am grateful for my teeth. I am grateful that they are properly placed and work efficiently, and are straight and white without an dentists/ortho's help. It's simple, but it's a blessing I definitely take for granted.

3 insecurities I have reconciled:

I used to hate the roundness of my face, now I realize it's perfect for short hair which is my fav kind of hair to have.

I used to hate my social awkwardness, then I realized if people were gonna get to know me, they would have to get to know me, and I am learning how to simply be myself. socially awkward and all.

I used to be insecure about how big my brain was. I think a lot and can usually hit every notch from one end of the spectrum to the other. I realized that this is just the way I am created, and my brain, without me trying to change it, will one day change the world!
