The Bible and Lil Wayne

Hey Guys!!!
I know, I know. How dare I show my face here when I have neglected to update my blog for WEEKS! I sincerely apologize. I just know all of you were sitting at the edge of your seats waiting for some kind of life. Have no fear! I am alive and I am inspired. As I sit in my cozy home on this snowy day (check twitter for some twitpics!), I feel very much like a young Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City. If only I had a Mac, blonde hair, a chic apartment in the city, and chic designer clothes, I would fit the part perfectly. Anyway, before I go into the subject of this title, I guess I'll give you guys a few updates. First of all, I hope you all had a merry and bright Christmas! Jesus is the reason for the season!! lol. I got scolded by my mother for saying happy holidays. I had a great Christmas filled with lots and lots of family (the way it should be I believe). I pretty much got everything that I wanted, except for a new ipod :[. But its ok. I'll live. I hope you guys who celebrate Hanukkah and Kwanzaa had a great holiday. Also, today is NEW YEAR'S EVE!!! Can you believe that we have completed the first decade of the new millennium?! INSANE. I hope you all have a very safe and wonderful New Years and that you will all be blessed in the coming year! 


Now on to Lil Wayne and The Bible. I was thinking about this during finals when I was at school but didn't have the time to get to blogspot. As I was mulling over two of my favorite quotes, one from Lil Wayne and the other from the Bible, I figured that two things are the secret to success; Action and Faith. 


"Don't make statements, make moves."- Lil Wayne
"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20


What I love about these two quotes are their positive life changing messages. Lil Wayne may not be the most eloquent person in the world, but this quote really resonated with me. It is easy to say what you want to do, what you are going to do, what people should do, etc. It takes work and effort to turn those statements into actions and actually do something. Lil Wayne is saying that it is useless to make these empty statements and to "make moves". Act on things that you think are worth acting upon! Jesus says that with faith, anything is possible. I believe that you can succeed in anything you set out to do with hard work and a little bit of faith. 


I love you all! I promise to post more later
