| whoa. signing on to xanga for the first time in a year.
in an attempt to breath life into my xanga i realize that so much has changed since the last time i updated. here goes...
3 years ago...
i was bright eyed and bushy tailed, fresh out of the deuce, ready to conquer a new and bigger city...
i was determined to not let anything or anyone get in the way of my dreams... this meant one year without friends, without going out, and only intense studies... making myself a martyr for this dream was a sacrifice that was necessity...
after a series of uhh.. 'less than desirable events at G-town', i was sure that God had brought me to Chicago having destined me for success...
in the last 3 years...
i ended up in a crackhouse living with Coco the crackass, dodging rats, peeping toms, caving ceilings, and floods.
i worked my ass off and graduated with confidence that my hard work would pay off.
and i was rejected. and i was tested. and stretched.
i was heart broken.
in the last 3 years, i've learned that relationships cannot be 'put on hold', that they cannot be avoided and neglected without consequence, that my family and friends are everything to me...because these very relationships that i was so ready to sacrifice were the ones that pulled me from the deepest of waters.
above all else, i've learned that my failure, my success, my life is not my own...
now is the season for change and i put my life into HIS hands once again... this time more scared than ever before, and more trusting than i ever was.
Chicago chapter closed... for now.

| Lord, take my life and make it wholly Thine;
Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine.
Take all my will, my passion, self and pride;
I now surrender, Lord—in me abide. —Orr

| There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
What
does the worker gain from his toil? I have seen the burden God has laid
on men. He has made everything beautiful in its time.
ecclesiastes 3:1-11
