Twisted TwistOut [VIDEO]

I never do TwistOuts...cuz they never turn out well! But I didn't give up completely. I just tried two techniques to my routine. One is from my friend, Rhonda. She coils her hair as she twist [Don't worry, I show you in the video]. The second is from Natural85, she uses flat twist to get more definitions. She also twist and stretches her hair across her head to get more length. Confused, just watch the vid; I explain both.
And they both worked for me! Now I can't wait to do another twist out. This way my twist out gives me elongation and defined coils. Let me know if you try it and like it or need more direction.

I Rest In Him #30Layers30Days

I am busy all the time.
Always on the go.
Meetings. Rehearsals. Class.
But feeling unfulfilled? I don't have that problem

Salvation has fixed that for me.
Christ-centered life. All eyes on my master.
With Him, I can't be unfulfilled. The Holy Spirit flushed me out an fills me up.

Such an awesome peace that can only come from Him.

Would you like to know such peace?

My Mind Contradicts #30Layers30Days

Born to church, I have always thought I think the best way possible.
Like my mind and thoughts can't be corrupted.
But after a good 29 years of living....that is so far from the truth.

The daily contradictions of the mind.
I think LOVE is an factor important in anyone's life. Having it, giving it.
To friends, family, spouses.
But the romance of it all....
The time that is invested....
The simple idea of sharing the small special part with someone other than God...

I just can't take it.
Love is needed and I will get it from Him who is on high.
For now at least....till I face the fear of actually loving a human soul.

God is love.

Desire #30Layers30Days

Inspiring.
Successful.
Fulfilling.
Fun.
Exciting.
Christ-Filled, Centered, Focused.

Even though it's listed last, Christ is the most important. Lately He has been taking over every thought, movement, and action of my life. Dedicating time to God each day has changed my life and my whole focus. And I won't dare ever miss that time again.
It is shocking think how I have even survived with out this daily quiet time.

Fun and Exciting days of my life. Given to my children. They keep me young, mobile and on my toes. Never a dull moment and don't let me waste time with them around. They bless me [tire me, lol] with their thrills.

Successful and Inspiring. I know I am. God has made me to be. But am I walking in that faith? Reaching others and sharing my story, advise, love, and gift.  Being hard on your self and your toughest critic has its advantages and disadvantages.  Seeing your own lack of focus and uncompleted task. Ugh, Sickening. But I can change it. Do better and be better.

Philippians 4:13.

The desire to be a Christ-radiating female. A fearsome and accomplished thing to behold in the eyes of other.
A great desire I will be sure to meet and defeat.

Habits #30Layers30Days

A good habits can keep you moving forward.
On track.
In the right lane.

A BAD habit...well. You know.
It can put you in the wrong place, at the right time...for the devil to trick you, persuade you.
Have you tore up from the floor up.

Or just have you behind on your blog schedule. LoL
Like me.

Procrastination, you will not win forever. This year. 2015. I will defeat you.

Success #30Layers30Days

How do I define success?
By how accomplished I feel at the end of the day. If I can get my whole To-Do List completed by there end of my small little 24 hours, I feel quite successful.
I use to measure by more than a day. Setting goals for years in advance. Once I reached a goal, completed an accomplishment, I would then feel successful.  The problem with this is it would take me too long to get to another accomplishment. Thus making the feeling of success few and far in the between.
Then it would take me months to then again feel successful.    *sigh*

Time to change it up.

So my goals became smaller. Easier to accomplish, complete. Then making me a quite successdul woman all in one day.
I didn't want to feel useless and purposeless...I wanted to feel more important. Instead of relying on another to make we feel as awesome as I am, I just looked at myself in this new light.

Each day I completed my TO-DO list. Each time I marked off something, I felt more and more successful. I could have been thinking that was pacifying myself and making my goals "baby-sized".
But I don't beat up my mind anymore.

Who cares if they don't think you do great things everyday.....you know the truth.
