Breathe....Just Breathe.....

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

Lately I have been anxious; and there is no reason to be really. God has been blessing me: first with my job, with school (junior year is done!), and with a deeper understanding of where my ministry is. Yet, I'm still anxious. It's the No. 1 complaint any quarterlife will make: I'm single! In reality, if you look at it: I'm 26, beginning my career and finishing up school next year, the last thing on my mind should be adding more to my plate by thinking about being in a relationship. But from a Christian point of view: I'm 26!!!!! Lol. My main thing is that I miss companionship. I miss having someone to talk to everyday, go out with, have insider jokes with, etc. Every time I think about it, I look at it from the that point of view and I am ALWAYS reminded that God works on His time and He's always on time. So, what does this Bible verse tell me? Take a deep breath and talk to God, BE THANKFUL and let Him know what's on your mind/what you desire. Then He will give you a peace that even you can't understand. I know He's working it out, and that it will be more amazing than what I can think.....I just have to remember to take a deep breath and be anxious for nothing. Be blessed.

Happy Birthday Musings!

It's been 2 years since I started my blog Musings of A Quarterlife. I have found it a blessing to have the opportunity to share my musings (however random they are) with you. Have a wonderful day. Be blessed.

Happy Birthday to ME!!

Ok, so I's officially 26 (12:08pm). I am so excited to see what this year will bring for me. I always remind myself of Jeremiah 29:11 when I feel like I'm at a low point. So, I have a new job and.......a new hairstyle. I have really, really cut my hair. I love it! It feels so liberating! It's golden blonde and so short I don't have to do anything but brush it...until it grows out, lol. It looks like Amber Rose cut but a warmer blonde. (I don't care what people say about her, I love a person who isn't afraid to take a chance with fashion). I posted a pic of her to give you an idea of the cut, I'll try to post pics of me soon. I'm not sure what I will do this weekend to celebrate but tonight I'm going to the 92nd Street Y with a couple of friends from Redeemer Artist Small Group. I haven't seen them in awhile so it will be cool to catch up. Also, I have some really great news but I can't tell you guys yet.....Soon. Until then, be blessed.

Random Musing: My Quarterlife Crisis

Lately I have been dreading awakening and starting my day. It's the same routine: work, home or work, church. No variations, nothing exciting and interesting. I don't compare my life to others; I just think about where I could be if I buckle down and get serious.  Even working on my portfolio for design school has been a nightmare. I have no inspiration! After praying and thinking things over I realized what my problem is: I'm having a Quarterlife Crisis. I'm 25 years old (will be 26 in 1 month), I have a job but not a career, I'm single with friends who are all either married or engaged and I don't do anything for fun anymore. So, I am determined to make changes for the better. I'm trying to figure out what to do to get some inspiration for my portfolio asap since the deadline for early admission is in one month, I am trying to learn more about myself and what truly makes me happy, sad, etc. and I'm opening up my circle of friends. Most importantly, I'm working on my relationship with the Lord. I will know more about myself once I know more about Him. It's so funny how once I start to feel disconnected from Him, I start to feel disconnected from myself. It's like a relationship; when you haven't seen your boyfriend/girlfriend in a while you feel it. I want my next year to be blessed and led completely by God........be blessed.

Happy Valentine's Day & Happy Birthday Musings of a Quartlerlife!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day! The Love Dinner was a success! We catered to 80 people. My god-brother (who was th chef for the night) started his company called Infinity Catering. The table centerpieces  consists of willows in glass vases surrounded by stones, tea lights and Hershey's kisses (lol). It was extremely tiring and fun. I slept in today and will meet with my friend Beatriz to see the Valentine's Day movie and a cheapy dinner, lol.

Also, it's Musings of a Quarterlife birthday! This blog is fairly new; but I am blessed that I can share my thoughts and musings with others. Hopefully this time next year I will covered more diverse topics and develop a huge follwing so we can share our musings with each other.
