I GOT BAPTIZED!!! Part 1... 9.23.12

WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY!



Today was the day I gave my life to Christ Jesus, my Lord and Savior!   I will NEVER forget it! The overall experience was a bittersweet one: my parents weren't there, but it was still worth it because I had my Church family with me.  I cried and boo-hooed! It hit me even more as I walked up the stairs to the pool pit.



I made this decision for me, not for anyone else.  That was one of the things I became conflicted with: doing this just for show and not for the right reasons.  After I was dunked in the water, I knew I made the right decision.  Everything made sense at that moment.




I plan to have a video of the actual Baptism for those who didn't get a chance to see it.  That will be Part 2 of this blog post.



No matter what, stay positive, progressive and prosperous!


Peace and blessings,

Short and Sweet 4.23.12

Hey everyone! Glad to be back this week writing to you :) Thank you for choosing to read my blog and if you would, please comment and subscribe to it! I will make this short since I do plan on writing another post later on this week. I am always inspired to speak on something whenever I have a great conversation with someone. Tonight, I had one of those wake-up "calls" with LaTanya O'Kelley , a publicist here in Atlanta. She and I had been meaning to connect and communicate, however, due to our lives crossing so much, we hadn't had the chance. Tonight we spoke on the phone for nearly TWO HOURS about any and everything that came to our minds that correlates to what we BOTH are doing for ourselves. She actually gave me more information than I could have EVER asked for and I am so GRATEFUL for that. Sometimes, my motivation comes from within, other times it comes from other people who BELIEVE IN ME. Most times, a combination of both of those circumstances come f...

March 28th, 2012: Is It Wrong?

I posed that question because there are things that I do (although not perfect at), that I would expect others to do, but DON'T do. Is wrong for me to think that people will be courteous? Is it wrong for me to think that gratitude could/should go a long way? Is it wrong for me to move away from someone who sneezes/coughs, while being sick, without covering their mouth? Is it wrong to move on from a job and start your own career? Is it wrong to NOT settle for what you KNOW is not in GOD's plan for you? Is it wrong to expect adults to ACT as such? Is it wrong to be respectful to others' privacy? Is it wrong to put someone down due to their misfortune? Is it wrong to expect children to behave or to be raised properly?* Is it wrong of me to speak properly, as I was raised, AND NOT be judged? Is it wrong to be well-mannered AND NOT be judged? Is it wrong to also write in proper English, as I was taught, AND NOT be judged? Is it wrong to live in a way that isn't what SOCIETY...

First Official Post...(not really but oh well!)

Ms. V's BLOG! Hello to all!!! If you are just tuning it (lol), my name is valencia aka MS.V. I have written some posts prior to this one but let's just start fresh and call this my FIRST official blog post. A HELLUVA LOT has happened since I last wrote on here. I want to start out by saying that I want to make this a blog about a LOVE of mine: MUSIC as well as talk about my personal life and see how and what type of response I get from the reading audience. Music is what keeps me TRULY happy and without it, I don't know how I would function, lol! I want to discuss personal life because it's real, nothing made up. I know there are many people tha t can relate to what I go through on a daily basis, so I want to be able to vent about it somewhere where I know it can help another person in their struggle. WHERE TO START??? lol... Brief history... I am a year old college grad student looking for employment (who isn't right now? lol). Got my BA in Mass Communications and ...
