Took a little time........

I have been extremely going through some major things in my life. Work, sickness, financial issues and just experiencing life. I have been off work for a few days due to health issues and I know God is good and  he is delivering me from all the sickness in my body. I had been having issues with my Asthma. I'm learning to lean more on God and I know that he will come through in any situation. I just wanted to take a little time this morning to blog and share some thoughts and feelings. There is a song by Kirk Franklin that just came out that I have been listening to because I can really relate to it's words.

Enjoy:

Sometimes You Just Gotta Let Go-

Sometimes you just have to let a person or thing go. Just as simple as that. Let the reason that detached you from the person or thing help guide you to something better that you want to hold on to! Z-

Sometimes you have to let people go...it's as simple as that. In life you find that it's very short. When and as you get older you start to think of the things that you really want in life. I know I have. As far as relationships I have some regrets on giving people so many chances to not change.

Sometimes we wait when in reality the person can't be forced to change. I have learned that I can only take time to change myself for the better and I can't sit around bitter with others because I am in control of my own life.

I was in a very long relationship with a man that had so many issues and I am learning to let go. The experience made me a lot stronger but it also made me weak in a lot of aspects of my life. It feels good to let go finally when you have held on to something for so long.

I refuse to be lied too. cheated on, along with any other crappy things that people tend to do to others because of lack of care for there own being. I refuse to let someone control my life and play mind games with me or try to intimidate my intelligence to there ignorance. I got so tired of letting him hurt me and being sad over something I knew he was not going to do anyway.

God is all that matters in my life. He will not leave to alone in life. He has so many plans for me and I am so excited to start to seek all that God has created just for me. When you start to build your relationship with God he shows you things you may not of seen before.

My thoughts are if you are in a relationship that has you crying more than smiling, wondering more than being trusting and confident you may not be in the best relationship. God has designed someone for everyone and at times if you can be alone building a more intimate relationship with God he will speak to you and show you things you have never dreamed of.

I just hold out my hand for God because I will follow him and what he has for me. I'm in no rush I just want to build my relationship with God.

Sometimes I sit back and wonder how a MAN can be so insensitive to someones feelings. Don't ever forget that Man was not created to be perfect. Only GOD holds the key of perfection.

How can they be so selfish and inconsiderate to just life and someone Else's heart? I will never let myself let anyone hurt me continuously. My limits to others that have been hurtful has changed. Why be weary and stressed over someone that has shown you nothing but the worse anyways. Don't expect better from someone that has shown no action to care to change for his self or for life in general.

Just remember that God is the ultimate lover. He will never leave or forsake you in any situation.

A New Year coming....

It's hard to believe that 2010 went by so fast. This year has been an emotional roller coaster for me in many aspects of my life. I am going to try very hard to make some in depth changes in my life for the better. I have learned that being stressed is not worth it, you miss out on to much in life when you are stressed. I must give my happy and sad days to God I know that he will work everything out for me in my life for all the right reasons.

I have my own personal things that I want to work on in my life and I am excited to get things going in a new fresh new year which is a great start for me. All I am expressing is life is so short. So many people dying younger every day and it's getting sad in this world. It's time for people to make changes for all the right reasons I would hope.

You can't tell everyone...

"That's what friends are for"

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.  ~Leo Buscaglia



You know sometimes a real friend and an associate can get equal definitions. Let me first off tell you what a real friend is. A real friends listens no matter what you are talking about, they don't judge, they will accept early morning or late night phone calls. They are encouraging, dependable, trusting, and you should not be limited to what you tell them. A real friend is someone you should be able to tell EVERYTHING and ANYTHING to.

Growing up my Father and Mother use to tell me that you will only have a couple real friends and maybe just one. I never believed that because growing up I had a lot of friends and I just thought it would carry out to my adulthood. I know now that friends don't come by the dozen in my world but you do come accross people that you get to meet at work and different community places that you may become friends with which is fine but too you have to be careful what you say to people you don't know that well.

A loyal friend laughs at your jokes when they're not so good, and sympathizes with your problems when they're not so bad.  ~Arnold H. Glasgow

Spend time with people and get to know there character and see where there humblness lays. I know it seems like I am rambling on but the point is there some people who you can talk to and some you can't. If you come accross someone in your life that you can't tell everything to then um.. that's not a friend in my book. Who wants a friend they can only tell bits and pieces to? Not me. I want a friend that I have no limit of conversation. Someone I can depend on to always be there for me and comfort me. I don't need any one to judge me because God is in control of that when it's my time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship

Frienship is precious and delicate. I will talk more on this topic later but I just wanted to put some thought and feeling out here. Be careful who to tell things to because sometimes you can't tell people everything and some people that seem to be your friend are around to pick information to take it to another person. If you have a best friend do all you can to show that person that you care and that you love them and accept all of them. Good friends are hard to come by so when you have one that you have shared your most inner thoughts too it was told to them for that reason. A real friend loves you when you are low and helps bring you back up higer than you ever thought you could go before.

But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.
~William Shakespeare

A friend is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,
Or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched.
A friend is like an owl,
both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
whose spirit never dies.
A friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend. - By Adrianne S

Letting Go and Letting God-Seasons change

Who said that life would be so easy? I can remember when I was younger I was so carefree. Not a worry in the world so it seemed. I sit back and reflect on this past year. Last year around this time I was finding God more than ever. I was more humble than ever and had such a deep desire to serve the Lord.  My mother and I went on our journey to find a church where we could go to and feel free to serve the Lord. We found a church where we found acceptance and love. It was a life changing event for me as I started really feeling the Lord for who he is. March 3rd I bot baptised and felt so close to the Lord and things were changing in my life for the better with God.

All I could think about was going to church on Sundays and listening to the word, reading the word and surrounding myself with people that loved the Lord as I. I can remember being younger not wanting to attend church, being shy to be around so many people and it was different for me. That first Sunday in January I joined church and accepted the Lord into my life. That was a fresh start in my life and I was so overjoyed and excited to be apart of such a big and great church.

My pastor taught me so much and I felt so close to him so fast. Over the next few months I attended church with my mother every chance I got even if I had to walk to church I would be there and try to be as active in the church as I could. I learned more about Tithing and did my share to serve the Lord the way I knew how.

I studied and read the word a lot. I became a different person for all the right reasons for once. Although still battling other issues in my life I was learning to lean on God more instead of my own understandings of what I called life. One day my mother and I attended church and our pastor was not going to be at our church any more. For reasons I don't want to get into. Very personal. I was heart broken, my mother and I along with people all around cried and screamed in sadness and I was shaking and scared. I had finally moved past my fears of being around a lot of people and joined this great accepting church and the one that I learned so much from was leaving. It was very hard for me and I felt so lost and empty.

How would I get through this, why did this happen like this? To make a long complicated story short. My mother and I was lost and to this day have not found another church home. My soul still longs for the Lord but I fell off a lot from where I was before and it is really sad. I am trying to find God again and it's scary to know that sometimes we depend on MAN more than God when no other MAN should be before GOD in the first place.

I had to remind myself that MAN does not control my destiny but GOD does and although I have reached a hard time in my life I can not stop serving God because of things that has happened. God places us in places for different seasons to give us experience and lessons to make us stronger. God is able and I have been learning that I have to let go and allow God in my life the way it was designed for him to be. I will have a church home soon and I know God has a plan for me.

Things have not been easy for me but I know GOD is a GOD of second chances and this year it is my order to be faithful to my GOD and serve him forever no matter what hard times I reach. I have to keep his word in my heart. I will no longer let others dectate my strength or passion because GOD will never leave or forsake me. With that being said. God allows things to happen for a reason it shows you a lot for all the right reasons even when you may think it's wrong. God places your life in different seasons but hard ones don't last always.

God has a design and purpose for me and I know he will supply my every need. Churches change, pastors chance along with seasons. I can not let that affect my relationship with GOD the one who forgives me and shows me love and compassion. I thought that this Church was where I would be for a lifetime and things changed so it is up to GOD to lead me to my new destiny. I will not talk about what I am going to do I will place action on it.

I hope this helped someone out here in the world. God is a good God and is able more than man. We must learn to depend on GOD and let man come last!

Welcome to The Life Expereince

Hello world. My name is Zaundra. I am 28 years old and I love to write and inspire others.

I thought I would come up with a new blog for the new year and try to stay as consistent as I can. Over the past couple of years I have created different blogs geared to women for support of us but this time I wanted to create a blog reaching out to everyone in the world no matter where you come from or what gender. Life is a experience and we go through different things every day and I thought I would share some things to the world from every aspect of life the bitter and the sweet and the things you may not want to hear.

This is a place where you can come for inspiration and be able to get connected with others that may go through some of the same things you go through. I have learned to be open minded over the years and be open to listen to others for reasons of being able to learn from others. You never know what a person is going through beside you and I just want to be a ear to listen to others and be of assistant to others.

I will be reaching out to people soon creating different out reaches and just trying to do some other things in the world to help others. I don't have a lot and struggle just like others on a daily basis but I want to try to be a better American and help others in need as well. So come on in and watch and see growth within myself and find your place in "The Life Experience".
