Learning to......"Ask for HELP!"

Challenges appear to be just that...a CHALLENGE! You observe, analyze, plan a way to solve, and then ATTEMPT to implement the plan while crossing your fingers; hoping that it will work!

People spend so much energy on decisions because they lack preparation. You would never go for an interview of a high salary job without preparing for it; you want the final deciding choice of applicants to be only ONE-and that would be YOU!

In "The Confident Woman Devotional," Meyer suggests, "Ask GOD to give you courage (p. 178)." We all need courage...you do not have to do anything alone! Have the courage to live by FAITH and the courage to TRUST your faith.

What is impossible with man is possible with God (Mark 10:27).

Teaching AIN'T for everybody! But LEARNING is...

Young minds are always directed to ponder the age old question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I am STILL trying to find out as I explore a plethora of career options.

All through high school, a focus was set on Biomedicine and my love grew from exposure to Science through my teachers. One teacher in particular was Mr. Green (Miami Central Senior High School-Rocket 4 Lyfe!!!) that I had for two years of advanced Science. We had t-shirts with the cool slogans (at least we thought-the "original geek squad") to increase awareness of animal extinction, environmental causes, and anything else deemed worthy of our support.

What type of student are you? Are you a visual learner-needing to SEE everything first or auditory learner-needing to HEAR everything? Do you prefer hands-on (kinesthetic)?You can be all of these "TYPES" at one time; just be willing to become a life long learner.

Think of your experiences and exposure as foundation building to uncover opportunities to learn; to grow. Use your knowledgeable skills and put it into practice...after all, practice does produce experts!

Being an expert is a GIFT! We all have gifts (things you do well), qualities that set you apart from everyone else. Inventory of self: What is your gift and your calling? Are you using it? My personal gift is TEACHING and my calling is working with CHILDREN...and yes, I am using it!

According to Meyer (2010), "God is not in the business of frustrating and confusing people."

Thought of the Day! "Do YOU want the HOOK UP?"

Via Confident Woman Devotional, "Ask GOD to give you DIVINE CONNECTIONS." I ask for the right friends and associates. Amen.


Personal Reflection: Many of us just "LET" people in our life without really knowing who they are! As my sister (Tiffany Holliman) asked me, "What are your requirements in a relationship?" I thought about this briefly and fell into a deep reflective state...She went on to add, "Treat this as a hiring process-what qualities and skills do want the IDEAL candidate to possess?" 


Don't just settle for the "HOOK UP" in your life-Ask GOD to give you DIVINE CONNECTIONS!
