Why I need you all to believe

Have you ever heard of Barrington Irving? He is the 1st Black pilot to fly solo around the globe. Do you know that you can achieve anything in your heart?

I never in my mind thought that I would be a college and scholarship blogger. I have been MIA for a while. I pursued a second degree in African American Studies at the University of Maryland College Park. But, while many students are looking for jobs, I am organizing teen health summits for Maryland's health department. I am flabbergasted! I am usually the youngest person working fairs or in the office. And, I take it as a badge of honor. My life's mission is to help people, especially young girls. To Christ be the glory. He has taken me from a depressed teenager to young woman poised for greatness.

A young woman with a grrrrrreat (in my Tony the Tiger voice) and supportive husband and two great little girls! So, don't tell me that you can't do it! I know you can do it. The question is "Will you do it?" I had both of my children within a year during my collegiate career. And I finished! I've traveled the world, from the Dominican Republic to Italy, speaking and conversing with young women.
Everyone has challenges and fears. Few women are able to stop hiding from their fears and face the challenge head on.  Many of us are not living. We are broken and not really living at all. The reality is you are beautiful and worth living life.

Women and Girl's Conference in D.C.

Today is March 10. It is National Women HIV/AIDS Day. Washington's Xi Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated hosted a Women and Girl's Conference at the Catholic University of America. It has been a good conference so far. Shawn Yancy was the guest speaker. There are seminars on teen dating violence, HOME, finance, effective communications, estate planning, bullying, and personal branding.

I was honored to escort my sister in law Kai Bear to this conference. She never heard of Alpha Kappa Alpha, which is kinda cool. So, I got to tell her a brief overview of the women's organization.

It is a sea of pink and green. But, I was excited to see a HU alum in the building from the School of Communications. It was detailed, on time, and organized. PLUS! Best part of the conference is the cute pink bags given to the participants.

Press Towards the Mark

       Wow. I received word via my brother that Whitney Houston died. It was one of those situations that I expected but not now. I am shocked and at loss of words, because my children do not know the sound of one of the greatest voices of this generation. It is only february and so far, Don Cornelius and Whitney Houston has died. Both are deaths that not only ROCKED the black American community, but the greater American community.
      This is a sad, extremely sad day. My thoughts and prayers go to the Cornelius and Houston families.

The sad thing is there have been many deaths in my personal family. I pray that I become more serious about how I spend my life. I want to ensure that I value my worship and time. I am worth more that a government check or a pension check. I'm worth more than a selfish man or woman monopolizing my time. The best thing for me to pursue my time and effort is pursuing Jesus Christ. I need to read more. My new theme song is "Press towards the mark." When I don't feel like kneeling to pray. I will press towards the mark. Thank you Lord that I have knees to kneel before you and a bed in a home to thank you for. When I am in a rush to pray, because I'm late into getting in the car. I will press towards the mark, because the Lord blessed me with a car and a job to be in a rush to go to. I want my attention span to go outside of tangible items.
        I went to GIANT (supermarket) and I was so happy to have a lil' pocket change to get all the food that I wanted. I was thanking God for all the money I have. Went to the cashier and a man with special needs was bagging my groceries. I never thought to thank God daily for my mind. So, I remind you all that you have no control over many things. But, Thank God in heaven that HE sent HIS Son Jesus Christ for you and me. I can't believe that HE loved me that much.

Life Is Just A Minute

Life is just a minute—only sixty seconds in it.
Forced upon you—can't refuse it.
Didn't seek it—didn't choose it.
But it's up to you to use it.
You must suffer if you lose it.
Give an account if you abuse it.
Just a tiny, little minute,
But eternity is in it!

By Dr. Benjamin Elijah Mays, Past President of Morehouse College
