Today, October 15th is National Latino AIDS Awareness Day! Hispanics have a ratio of 25.0 per 100,000 population. In the United States, every 9 and a half minutes, someone is infected with HIV.<br/>

As a sister to a brother living with this disease, I urge you...DON'T be another statistic. GET TESTED! KNOW YOUR STATUS! Find a testing site near you at http://www.nlaad.org/<br/>

There are days I wish I had super powers...and I truly believe we all have SUPER abilities, but there are those days, the days when your spirit feels defeated. Where even the slightest emotion of crying seems too hard to handle. People think I'm rude and mean. Along with any other word you can conceive in your mind. In all reality...I'm too busy taking care of my family, that it gives no time to give in to the influence of back-biting, backstabbing, gossip, etc. My life consists of assisting with the health of my Father and <a href="http://elevationofpurposeanddesire.blogspot.com/2010/05/happy-birthday-brother.html">my brother</a>, all while trying to keep mom sane. In no way am I trying to gain sympathy...I love that I am able to take care of the people who mean the most to me. I have an amazing family and I wouldn't change it for the world.<br />
<br />
When I feel that life has got it's best of me, I simply remind myself that... <br />

March 8, 2011...Lupe Fiasco's oft-awaited 3rd album will finally be ours!! First single to be released, Tuesday, October 26, 2010 via www.lupefiasco.com! <br/> <br/> If you havent experienced the lyricism of the Chicago born Rapper...you're missing out. <br/> <br/> As stated by Lupe himself: <br/> "Lasers are the opposite of losers. Lasers are shining beams of light that burn through the darkness of ignorance. Lasers shed light on injustice and inequality. Losers stand by and let things happen. Lasers act and shape their own destinies. Lasers find meaning and direction in the mysteries all around them. Lasers stand for love and compassion. Lasers stand for peace. Lasers stand for progression. Lasers are revolutionary. Lasers Are The Future. We are Not losers...We Are LASERS!!!" -L.F. <br/> <br/> I can't control the excitement. :) <br/> <br/> Blessings to a Lasers filled day!

The changing fall foilage never fails to surprise and delight us. Do you ever wonder why and how a fall leaf changes color? Where do the yellow and orange colors come from? <a href="http://www.na.fs.fed.us/fhp/pubs/leaves/leaves.shtm">WHY DO LEAVES CHANGE COLOR?</a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #990000;">I began to imagine our lives as those of leaves. We (humans) have the same sort of changing process and in it is a beautiful scientific reasoning. Change is needed to become better. And God made us for better.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><span id="goog_1464888350"></span><span id="goog_1464888351"></span></span></span></span></div><div style="color: black; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We live in a culture bent toward self-improvement. We spend a lot of time analyzing ourselves and trying to figure out how to make the bad, better. From time to time, we all notice areas in our lives that we struggle with; Areas we wish could be different.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: #bf9000;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">We fear people knowing the "bad" part of us... because in all reality, who wants to be known as the "mean, angry, snobby" woman/man? However, if we try to hide the unacceptable parts of our personalities, we can rapidly lose touch with who we truly are. </span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I dont confide much in others and I rarely shed a tear. We often have little choice regarding the people and circumstances God brings into our lives, but I have come to learn (slowly) that I am becoming the person God wants me to be. Not who my coworker, church folk, family, friends, or acquaintances want me to be. But, that in which God created me to be. </span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: black; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The leaves flow with the process that God designed. The only limit to change in our lives, is the degree in which we don't reveal ourselves. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

The dreams he implanted in my spirit are to be flourished. The strength he has instilled in my body is needed to overcome. And the trust he has placed in my heart comes to my rescue in times of perseverance. <br/> <br/> I was reading my daily devotion this a.m. and it truly spoke to my situation. Here's an excerpt: <br/> <br/> "...you may be frustrated because you feel God's plan isn't working in your life. But never fear, God is arranging all the pieces to come together to work out his plan for your life. Don't grow impatient. Don't try and make things work in your own strength. When its God's timing, all the forces of darkness can't stop him. In due season, God will bring it to pass." <br/> <br/> Adversities and hardships are opportunities for us to go higher. What an amazing confirmation. <br/> <br/> I may not have all the money, beauty, or brains in the world...but the comfort in knowing my God will NEVER forsake me is enough to fill any void. <br/> <br/> .b.<div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.5.5.2</div>Bethany-Ashley N.

It's true. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">But, lately I've been so busy... I barely have time to sleep(about 3-4 hrs). I guess it's a good thing to be busy, but some days.. it's too much to handle. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Truth be told... my time-less life is not as bad as I make it sound. Some days God gives a little more "umpf" to my day and I feel like I can't control it. I literally feel insane... my brain goes on overload and I tweak. I understand worrying is a normal human function, but I yearn for the day where worrying is no longer in my vocabulary. I <strong><em>want,</em></strong> I <strong><em>crave, </em></strong>I <strong><em>desire, </em></strong>I <strong><em>NEED</em></strong> to NO longer worry. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I'm learning: Worrying accomplishes NOTHING. Worrying is a mental burden and sometimes causes us to become physically sick. Worrying pushes you in an entirely different direction then that which you are supposed to be trekking. AND... Worrying is the opposite of trusting God. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em><span style="color: #b45f06;">Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus</span>.</em> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em><span style="color: #b45f06;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;">(Philippians 4:6-7)</span></strong> </span></em></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Life is about how we choose to see things. Even in the difficult times, when it seems like no one cares, I can put my trust in knowing that God cares for my EVERY need. I'd like to spend my time more wisely and enjoyably...</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong><span style="color: #e06666;">How do you deal with worry?? I'd like to know.</span></strong> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This weekend I was able to visit the controversial "<a href="http://www.bodiestheexhibition.com/">Bodies:The Exhibition</a>" with the BFF. I was simply amazed! We never stop to think how intricate our bodies are.

All become as red as roses<br />
And the colour of their faces<br />
Makes me think of orchard places<br />
Where the juicy apples grow,<br />
And tomatoes in a row.<br />
<br />
And to-day the hardened sinner<br />
Never could be late for dinner,<br />
But will jump up to the table<br />
Just as soon as he is able,<br />
Ask for three times hot roast mutton--<br />
Oh! the shocking little glutton.<br />
<br />
Come then, find your ball and racket,<br />
Pop into your winter jacket,<br />
With the lovely bear-skin lining.<br />
While the sun is brightly shining,<br />
Let us run and play together<br />
And just love the autumn weather. </div><div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding-left: 14px; padding-top: 20px; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding-left: 14px; padding-top: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">Finally...

I woke up Thursday Morning feeling weird, by Thursday night... the flu bug had set in. It's always times when i make the decision for change that something comes and ruins all the fun. Despite pleas from the parents and Dr. I continued the fast until I couldn't step 1 foot out of bed. SOO-o... if you didn't get the post by now.. I had to abruptly discontinue my Daniel's Fast and was told not to retry the fast until my (energy)levels and body were up to par. Thus ruining my attempt at Daniel's Fast year Numero Dos. </span><br />

I hope your weekends went well. For me, the weekend was a blur, but a very relaxing blur.

And it is so refreshing to know that he always has my back! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

I had the opportunity to watch a video. And for the first time in a long while... I actually shed a tear. <br/> <br/> I shed the tear because I realized how I have failed to mention my love for my parents. I shed the tear, because I haven't properly stated how grateful I am for them taking time out of their lives to mold me into the woman I am today. <br/> <br/> I can remember when I was young(er) and all the mistakes I made. And all the problems I caused. Yet, my Dad and Mom would ALWAYS mention how much they loved me. They have made MANY sacrifices along this journey to raise me. To love them in spite of their "imperfections" is sometimes difficult to do, but definitely worth it. During what parent's now-a-days would call "time out", I was made to write out a certain scripture, however many times my Mom would state.... And I will NEVER, ever forget what it has done to my heart and the appreciation I have for the parents God has blessed me with. <br/> <br/> Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother" (this is the first commandment with a promise), "that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land." Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:1-4 ESV <br/> <br/> The power of love of the parents rises above distance. It overcomes distance and connects. No matter how old a child is, parents still look out for them so if even children are adults, parents are still concerned for their well being. If you view your parents as your loving allies, it will improve your relationship with them tremendously. <br/> <br/> Love is the basic ingredient which forms the basis of all life on earth. <br/> <br/> Be Blessed! <br/> <br/> .b.<div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.5.2</div>Bethany-Ashley N.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">B-DAY!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Though i don't feel older... I'm not liking the fact that i am getting there. It's a scary thought, knowing eventually I'll be an old skipper. Talk about depressing!!!! =0) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Although... i do thank God EVERYDAY for giving me another chance at life... there's nothing like waking up to face another day... and no matter how hard I think my life is, there will always be another who has it far worse. So, why not celebrate?!?!?! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hope i don't bore you with the pics... I had such an awesome weekend!!</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Lately I've had a case of the Summer Blues. I'm not a fan of hot weather...Point. Blank. Period! I would rather it be 30 degrees than 104degrees. In the Winter, you get to bundle up and wear cute boots and jackets, but in the summer you can only strip down so much. And personally, I'm not the strip down kinda gal. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Speaking of stripping down, I've been participating in the 30 day Shred along with the BFF and we are happy to say... WE ARE SHREDDING!!! Jillian Michaels is NO JOKE! and might i add, although i am skinny... i am so-o out of shape. The last time i worked my knees this much was during Softball season...and i am dying (due to LCL and ACL strains). I'm trying to get to the point where my knees are strong enough to carry me through kick boxing classes, which are a part of my bucket list I've written up. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Has anyone else tried the 30 Day Shred? P90x? Insanity? Any workout programs that are giving you insane changes?? I would love to hear stories. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Anyway... since I've been back on my health binge...i decided i wanted to make something hearty, but healthy. I browsed through a bunch of recipe sites and nothing sounded interesting enough to me. So-o... i decided i would browse blog recipes and I came across this recipe from <a href="http://mrsbettierocker.blogspot.com/2010/06/chicken-with-rosemary-butter-sauce.html">Mrs. Bettie Rocker's Blog: Chicken With Rosemary Butter Sauce!</a> </span><br />
