1 Thessalonians 5:18 - In everything be thankful, because this is God's will for you in the Messiah
Jesus.
Sometimes, I'm guilty of taking my blessings for granted without realizing it. Nevertheless, I'm always thankful and grateful when I reflect on things during the course of each day I'm blessed with. Case in point, I recently transitioned into a new position a few weeks ago. Before making the transition, I was trying to weigh my pros and cons with the number one factor being a cut in pay. Each time I tried to weigh my options, I would become distracted with something else which would seem less important. That's when I had my epiphany: it didn't matter about my decrease in income as long as I was happy and didn't have HALF of the stress that I had become accustomed to in the job I had before my transition.
Along with my epiphany came one of my favorite Bible verses, 2 Corinthians 12:9-10: But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. ” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Since making my transition, I feel like a brand new me and my former co-workers, friends, and family have noticed the change in me as well. If there's one thing my parents and my maternal grandmother has taught me from as far back as I can remember is to be thankful and grateful in ALL things. To God be the glory!!!
I had a moment of reflection earlier this morning and this song popped into my thoughts. With that being said, my moment starts now as I re-reach for the dream I once had. The same goes for others who may have let go of their dreams for whatever reason. Have a fantabulous day!
So I heard and read about the buzz all day long today regarding the 2Pac hologram performance that took place recently at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival. I couldn't wait to see it for myself after coming in from work earlier this evening.
I was astonished to say the least. I had to make myself realize that this wasn't real although it was surreal. The movement around the stage was unbelievable and for a fleeting moment I could feel the crush I used to have on Pac come rushing to the surface as he performed "2 Of Amerikkka's Most Wanted" with Snoop Dogg (don't judge me).
Anyway, I have mixed feelings on what took place: on one hand, the technology was beyond spectacular; on the other hand, it was kind of weird and messed with my mind for a brief moment because it seemed too good to be true. Is this going to be the new form of cloning? Hmmmmmmmm...
Oh yeah, before I forget, let me just say that the ending was out of this world! And was it just me or did the background music sound like a slower version of the intro of Michael Jackson's hit, "Off the Wall"? Eery...just...eery.
