It's 1:30 in the morning and I just got back in the house around 12:45pm. I had a great time at my youth ministry’s Good Friday Service. I recieved compliments on my monologue, I did a poem that the crowd seemed to enjoy, I had some great food, and the sermon was down to earth and relatable. The preacher for the evening, by the way, looked nothing like a preacher. She was beautiful, sexy, confident, and fly. Take it from me male bloggers, if you saw her out on the street you would either stop and stare or try to holla. My boyfriend couldn't even stop himself from sayin’, Damn, she’s bad. And honestly, I can't blame him. Besides her beauty, her sermon was on point. It was about finding your purpose; how the sinful things we do can cloud our vision and prevent us from fulfilling the purpose that God has for us. Our sin could be lying, stealing, smoking weed, having sex before marriage... anything that is not positive or not of God's work can block our blessings and take us away from what God wants us to do. She even spoke about friends and family holding us back and convincing us that we are not only nothing but are also incapable of achieving our goals. At the end of her sermon she everyone who wanted pray and to know their purpose more clearly to come up to the stage, since we were in the fellowship hall, so she could pray for them and with them. About 5 or 6 people went up to her. She asked the congregation to hold out their right hands and pray with her for those who came up. Although I reached my right hand out to pray for them, I was also praying for myself. I don't know my purpose and it sucks because people around me know that they want to be doctors, teachers, lawyers, criminologists, and lobbyists. People are telling me not to worry, that I have time to figure it out and I'll probably find my niche in college. But, honestly, I want to know now. Knowing now can possibly prepare me for college and the profession I want to go into. But as the old saying goes, everything happens for a reason. Maybe I know and just don't realize it yet. Or maybe I'm not meant to know yet because God feels that it's not the right time to reveal it to me. Or maybe I just don't know. Lol. Besides, most of my friends may change their major in college anyway. And since I’m undecided, I'll have a little more fun in college because I get to explore different majors. However, by my sophomore year, in some schools my junior year, I'm going to have to make a firm decision about what I’ll major in and what I want to do with my life.
Speaking of college, I received a letter from SUNY Geneseo today. I say today because my mother left early to go to work so I had to wait until I came home from church to get the mail. They rejected me from their EOP, Educational Opportunity Program, program because my GPA was too high. SUNY's EOP Program is a program that gives financially and academically disadvantaged kids a chance to go to college. In other words; if you're smart and broke, too bad. If your rich and dumb, sorry for you. You have to have both in order to qualify. But then again, Oswego accepted me in their EOP Program and I have over a 3.0. So I guess it depends on the SUNY. However, the told me that
I qualify for their TOP (]Transitional Opportunity Program, program, which is designed to provide NYS students who are traditionally under-represented on their campus the opportunity of enrolling in their four year college program.GREAT!!! :-/ They didn't tell me if I was accepted or not so once again, I have to wait. But such is life. Good things come to those who wait right?
Anyway, I'm calling it a morning. I'm going to put on my PJ's, eat some grapes, and then go to bed. Hopefully I'll get more work done when I wake up, do my laundry and go see Why Did I Get Married Too with my boyfriend.
Btw, what do you think your purpose is? Or are you just as unsure as me? Leave a comment when you get a chance.
Until my next post, be blessed and make sure your legacy is like no other...

My purpose and legacy is....sharing my testimony and myself with as many people as I can to encourage, uplift and motivate all people that were sexually abused, had a hard time with being a teenager or young adult that it's not your fault you're a victim, deal with your emotions by letting them out so you can grow stronger from what has happened to you. I stand strong on that with God as my guide I know I will succeed! AMEN
Wow. That was powerful Mrs. Mary. I'm glad you're willing to testify about what you've gone through. Most people would have just kept it to themselves and moved on. It's great that you want to help people overcome what they've been through. I just hope my purpose and legacy is to help people too. :-D
