Matters of The Heart
Gooood afternoon yall! Hope yall iz doin well :)
Well, every mornin I wake up, I always get online to read the news for today. This mornin was no different.... So I log on to Yahoo News and this story catches my eye. It was entitled "British Girl's Heart Heals Itself". I said to my self, "lemme go read this!" So I click the link and read this amazing story about a little girl who, in 1994 @ 6 months old, was having heart trouble and she needed a transplant but the problems she was having with her heart were also affecting her lungs so she was need not only a heart transplant but also a lung transplant as well. The doctors came to the conclusion that she was jus too fragile to perform BOTH surgeries on so instead, she received a donor heart from a 5 month old. But here is were the interesting part of the story comes in.... Instead of taking out the old heart and replacing it with her new heart, they attached the donor heart to her old heart. (She was taking medications so she wouldn't reject the donor heart. The drugs caused her to have cancer. She took chemo. Got over it.) So they were jus keepin an eye on it and a few yrs later, her old heart had completely healed! The only problem at that point was that the cancer spread through her body and she eventually rejected the donor BUT her own heart was working fine so it was not important to remove the donor. Fast forward to 2006...
Her 'old' heart is back at 100% so the dr's were able to remove the donor and she is now living a full life (she is 16 now and doing normal teenager stuff.)
So I said alllllllll that to say this:
We as children of the Most High, when we feel pain (emotional), the first place we feel it is our heart and then it begins to affect other areas of our life. Well... As we all should know, God is love. When u think of love, u think of a heart (duh!). When we as children of God feel pain, as we need to do is go to THE doctor, and He will have THE cure! All he wants is for us to keep Him in our hearts sooooo.... when we feel pain and it starts to "spread" to other parts of life, God is simply there to wrap his loving arms (His heart cuz God is love) around us and wants us to know that things will eventually get better b4 we even know it! Now, we are able to share to love of God (the donor heart) with other hurting ppl... Wheeew ok. I'm done!
I hope this blessed someone as it has blessed me.

"friends"
Well... I have learned over the last couple of days that I really don't have too many people I can call "friends". I think God has given me the spirit of discernement (sp?) for a reason and it has been "used" over the past few days. I find it funny how people find it soooo easy to smile in your face but find it even easier to say negative things about you behind your back. I have jus come to the realization that NOW may be the time where God may not want me to be friends with certain ppl. Ppl who I thought were lifelong are clearly only meant for a certain time sooo... If I seem like I'm pulling away, I have my reasons. Tired of two facededness lol (I guess that's how u spell it but you get my point lol)... But seriously. Time out for foolishness.... Time to do ME and ONLY ME!
Ok I'm done... Had to vent...

heeeeeeeyyyyy ppl!
Weeeelll.... It has been a while! I hope this msg finds ya in good health! A lot has happened in the last month or so. Where shall I start??
Me and the ex have finally called it quits. Like fa real... I had been with him on and off for 2 years and looking at it now, it wasn't a very healthy situation to be in. I had already started to distance myself from him and had really moved on wit my life, but he msgd me the other day and we actually made it "official". I was somewhat sad for a few reasons. In the msg, he said that he was going overseas to work as a civilian. And then he went on to say that I needed to find someone who will do me the way he did but that he has tried to find someone like me but that didn't work out. Well.... Let me say this b4 I vent on my irritation with him. It was bittersweet because its like, you don't believe something until you see it so seeing it in ink (us breaking up) kinda sealed the deal. Then I was sad, cuz although we had been thru a lot, I was sad he was going overseas cuz I would be devistated if anything were to happen to him. Now.... As far as me findin someone that would "do me like him"... NEVER! Although he and I have had a lot of good times, the BAD outweighed the good. So if I had to find someone like him, I would take some of his qualities and group em with what I'm lookin for in a new guy cuz if I began to explain to the world just exactly what I have been through, I think yall would stone me to death lol... And as far as finding someone like me?! Ummm... No! I am me and there is NONE like me! Anyhoo... With all that being said, I wish him the best of luck in all his endevours....
Ok.... So... I got rid of one of my "friends". He further confirmed for me whhyyyyy I don't date guys more than a year younger than me. I guess he was wantin to jump into a relationship the week after meeting me but I don't do that. I like to get to really know ppl b4 I just jump into a relationship with them, especially after this last relationship. Then this person just started to become too overbearing and needy. A big NO NO in my book. So I will admit, I just became a lil distant because I just don't do the whole "I gotta be around u 24/7" thing... So I guess he got the hint. But the funny part about it is that he all of a sudden is now in a relationship wit someone. My only irritation is that I feel like he was talkn to the girl the whole time we was chillin. I could care less but don't talk BS about "oh... You the girl I think imma marry" and "I'm addicted to your kisses" and so on... And then you all of a sudden cut yo feelins off. My only request is that u just be upfront. He didn't lie to me, but he just held back some important info... With all that said, I do not deal wit pplz children! Best of luck to him. Moving on...
Now, just to make a long story short, I have become closer to one of my male friends. I think we both are crushing on each other but neither of us will admitt it so its just gonna be the big pink elephant in the room till one of us points it out lol. I came to this realization when I went to his house while I was in his neighborhood. It was after midnight so he thought I was caking and he seemed to have got a lil jealous (I was at a party and NOT caking.) so now he has a lil attitude wit me which I think is actually kinda cute :p anywhoo... Let's see where this goes!
Nooowwww.... On to the last guy. He and I been cool and been chillin for a while but lately it seems like we have been gettn closer as well... We both attend the same school and church. We r very involved in the different organizations at the church. We both love to eat, laugh, watch movies, all that stuff. Idk where this one is gonna go either lol... I'm single so I'm just weighing my options and we will see where all this goes!
Yaaaaay! I feel better now that I got to vent. So...
I have taken on the responsibility of starting a choir at my church as well as helping out with the worship team. Pray for me.... I have a lot of knowledge to share and I hope it is received with open arms and ears!
And.....
MY BIRTHDAY IS SUUUNNNDDDAAAYYYYY! I can't wait. Don't have any clue what imma do. All I know is that the mall and Burlington Coat Factory is calling my name and I shall answer! Lol
That's it!
Peace and Blessings :p
