Empowering For The Future

Why I Am Giving Away All My Clothes "Obedience is greater than sacrifice" and in this season, I'm learning a good bit of both! One day I was in my prayer time with God and I was reflecting on the concepts He was teaching me: selflessness and humility. Although I have grown and come a long way, I still am not where I want to be. I want to be completely selfless ! A personal goal of mine is to be selfless enough that I can take off my favorite clothes or jewelry pieces right then and there when someone compliments me about it.

As many students start to count down the days until Spring Break, many preparations must be complete before you take off on any big or small trips! In this blog post.

Not physically hurt but emotionally hurt... from relationships. This could be any type of relationships from their mother, father, sister, brother, cousin, co-worker, boss, ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend.

Whether it's very evident, sarcastic like Judd Nelson from the Breakfast Club, or nonexistent/nonchalant like Kristen Stewart, it comes in different forms of expression. I believe every generation expresses it differently. I re...
