Sharing Gods great deeds

It has been an extremely long time since I last made a post! This year thus far, has been one with many test and triumphs. I recently received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a minor in Spanish. Conquering those four collegiate years was not easy, but God brought me through it all. On May 18^th, 2015 I walked across that stage with an overwhelming feeling of exhilaration and joy. About four years ago during the winter session of my high school year, my guidance counselor advised me not to apply to a four year school because my parents would not be able to afford it. Rutgers University, Rowan University, and Hofstra University, were all my initial choices for higher education. As legacy of Rutgers University, I knew I wanted to experience something different. One day in Spanish class my cousin Lashae gave news that she got accepted into Clark Atlanta University. Not knowing about Clark Atlanta University and the surrounding institutions she began to explain to me about the Atlanta University Center. I was sold! I ignored what my counselor advised, and followed the guidance of the Lord. Man will deter you from your purpose, but you have to be able to know who predestined it. I received acceptance letters from all three of my northern choices, and waited for my one and only southern choice. Graduation came and went, still no letter. One day my mom called me with the news that I got accepted into Clark Atlanta University. As an only child my mom was very apprehensive in sending me all the way to Georgia. My cousin’s mother convinced my mom to take me to the new student orientation in July, and she did just that. Once I hit the AUC soil I knew that it was the place for me to be. I had some financial difficulties during my years at Clark Atlanta, but I knew where my help came from. What my guidance counselor did not know is that my family may not be rich, but we are wealthy in the blessings of the true and living sovereign God! Many sleepless nights I cried because I thought I would not be able to go back to school, but God! My purpose was in the AUC, but specifically at Clark Atlanta University. I was going to transfer to Morehouse, and then CAU gave me more scholarships. My experience at CAU was bitter sweet, but I would not trade it for anything in the world. I met great friends that turned into family, and made connections that will assist me in my career goals. God knows just where you need to be, it is up to you to adhere to his voice. I served as the lead Chaplain Assistant at CAU for three years, and that ministry kept me rooted and grounded in my faith to persevere through anything that came my way. I continued to lift up my eyes to the hills from where my help comes from! I knew it came from the Lord (Psalms 121:1-2)!  No one could ever convince me that Jesus is not real! I made it through four years of college with no break at all, with doubt from the world that I would make it, but through Jesus Christ we are MORE than CONQUERORS (Romans 8:37)! The Lord directed my paths and I made it through so much turmoil and hell. As the former Mr. Atlanta University Center, former Lead Chaplain Assistant I know that I had a major assignment in the Atlanta University Center. If I can do it you can too! Do not follow your dreams! Find your purpose! God gave you purpose and he has plans for you to prosper and not to be harmed! Plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11)! Life is not easy, but we have to know that God is always working on our behalf. No matter what the world has to say about you. No matter where they try to condemn you to. Remind yourself I A M E U D A I M O N I A. Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all of your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path (Proverbs 3:5-6). I continued to trust God, serve him, and he gave me the desires of my heart. God has many great things in store for me and YOU! J U S T B E L I E V E.  I just had to share that with you all! The world needs to this savior who can make the impossible, POSSIBLE. I had every intention to write a new post, but it seemed like I was always being distracted. Yesterday I read 1 Chronicles 16:8, and it pushed me to let you all know the great deeds God has done for me!
