My thoughts and dreams,...

Balance: (n.) mental steadiness or emotional stability; habit of calm behavior, judgement, etc. Life is a series of ups and downs, your either in the midst of a storm, coming out of one, or one is nearing your path. It is representative of a constant series of battles based on achievements and failures. Within each of us lies a constant war, some are bigger than others, but that does not necessarily mean they are in any way more significant.  It is when we are in the midst of a storm that our principles are put to the test, how we carry ourselves speaks multitudes of our character. In our everyday complex decisions of life our daily habits tend to become our identity and we lean on consistency. The struggle is not to find an answer to every problem and catastrophe, but to find a sense of peace while in the heart of disaster.  Coping and adapting during times of hardship is a sign of a strong individual. The relation that all these aspects have in common combined is ...

"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate to do I do. "                                                                                                                                                               -Romans  7:15 Have you ever had a goal that seems to end unsuccessful, or a desire to better yourself, only to find that you willingly commit acts that result in your own failure? There are definitely a few things on my agenda that keep getting moved forward thanks to my "never give up" attitude. One goal of mine in particular is my deep des...

The following thoughts are shared from  Sunday service at Temple Baptist Church,  presented by Pastor Fred Gurule... First of all, how can we be blessed by the bible? Let me ask you a question,.... Do you or someone you know own a bible? Do you ever open it and read the word? Do you get the "information for transformation?" "The purpose of the information is transformation." -Pastor Gurule "I want the bible to be more than head knowledge, I want it to change me." -Pastor Gurule Bibles are everywhere in America last year there were 500 million bibles published in the world and thats in 18,000 different languages, meaning the bible is available for us to read it,.... If or when you search scripture, is it daily, weekly, monthly or yearly? Do you discern and gaze or do you glance?  After Jesus resurrected two disciples ran to the tomb, John looked in and he didn't go in, Peter got there and he not only looked in, but he ...

"People will forget what you said,  people will forget what you did,  but people will never forget  how you made them feel."                                                                                             -Maya Angelou "Don't forget to be awesome" -unknown "Mistakes are proof that you are trying." -unknown "One kind word can change someone's entire day." -unknown "Two things define you, your patience when you have nothing, and your attitude when you have everything." -unknown "Raise your words, not your voice. It's the rain that grows flowers, not thunder." -Rumi "New beginnings are often disguised  as painful endings." -Lao Tzu "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you ...

You may see me as a happy individual with a good life, but I like you have my ups and downs. I am definitely not perfect, it's the way I was made, I'm only human. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry but  I always endure and carry on through the never. I don't like to use my foundation as an excuse to be a failure and I take responsibility for my actions. If I have a problem I let you know, not to stir up trouble, but instead to solve a hindrance. Sometimes I have to take a step back for a breather because let's face it, sometimes everything is just too much to bear. I grew up as a "have not" and to this day I still carry a bit of resentment, though I try to hide it and not let others see the  envy that builds within me. Sometimes I'm screaming inside, tearing to get out, sometimes I am my own worse enemy and I keep myself captive. When I think too much is when I find myself at my darkest. Why must darkness consume me? Why can I not be that which I wish ...

Warning!!! Graphic Details: December 28, 2011 was the worse day of my life... my sister, Lynette Renee Yazzie-Becenti , was horrifically taken from all of us! In the New Mexico Pueblo of Jemez a man by the name of Gavin Yepa , 26 at the time, chose to take a precious life. Alcohol was involved, but alcohol cannot be the blame. She was raped with a shovel 16 inches to her diaphragm and she died of internal bleeding. This unbelievable nightmare happened at Yepa's residence in Jemez Pueblo and he is claiming that another individual by the name Rodney Adams is the guilty one. Pointing his finger at another will not make it go away. Adams was present at Yepa's residence at that time of Yepa's horrific acts and had witnessed Yepa insert a water bottle, pull it out bloody and lick the bottle before taking a drink. Rodney Adams left the house as a thief and with his hands he took her cell phone and other contents of her bag. At this time his testimony is being argued in re...

In short GOD is LOVE... The word love is used 551 times in the NIV bible according to christian bible reference: <http://www.christianbiblereference.org/faq_WordCount.htm> Love is Unselfish        And now I will show you the most excellent way. 13  If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind, It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love nev...
