One of my friends suggested compiling my Facebook status messages because she found them to be generally positive and uplifting. I thought it was actually a pretty cool idea. The more I thought about it, the more reminiscent it is of reading through an old journal and reflecting on your growth and experiences. So here goes Part 1!

This morning I woke up and just praised God for this chance to be better than yesterday. Praying we can all embrace being great today and continue to improve! Have a positively productive day ppls!

Send your prayers for our sister from the Atlanta Masjid of Al-Islam community who lost her daughter and granddaughter Thursday night in the car wreck on 285. This chapter from Qur'an came to mind this morning. Praying anyone who has lost a loved one finds relief in God's promise to ease our burdens and raise our spirits.
(The Holy Qur'an 94:1-8)
Chapter Ash-Sharh (The Opening Forth)
1: Have We not opened thy heart,
2: and lifted thee the burden
3: that had weighed so heavily on thy back?
4: And [have We not] raised thee high in dignity?
5:And, behold, with every hardship comes ease:
6: verily, with every hardship comes ease!
7: Hence, when thou art freed [from distress], remain steadfast,
8: and unto thy Sustainer turn with love.
This reminds me that during our toughest times God is working with us to get us through whatever the situation may be. And when we finally come through whatever our difficulty is, we have to stay focused on serving Him by living upright. God is Greater than any difficulty! Allahu akbar!

Reminded today again how precious life is. Please reach out to your loved ones, especially if you haven't spoken to them in a while. Let them know you love them and you're grateful to have them in your life.

Ok people. As usual I'm hoping everyone is enjoying an awesome and very productive Thursday. I just had to share this sad moment real quick tho, lol. Just about a week from my 26th birthday and I'm feeling a little aged. All these past sports injuries are really taking a toll during this recent training regiment I've been on. And to top it off, Agnes Scott College Registrar tells me they have to look in the ARCHIVES for my student records. The ARCHIVES???? Eeek! Ok, I'm officially an old lady. Thanks ASC. lol #OldScottieLady —

Value yourself. Value yourself by taking good care of your body. By controlling your messaging and always using a positive filter. By cutting out the people who don't help you become better. Value yourself because time is precious and this life is short! Happy Tuesday folks! God bless! #TooBlessed

Today I'm thinking about choices, especially in our youth. Every single decision we make has a ramification. It's up to us whether it's good or bad. God has blessed all of us with such potential. Such capacity to be great. To do great things. To consistently overcome whatever obstacles appear. It is NEVER...EVER too late to change course and turn around for the better, no matter what area of life. But we have to CHOOSE to be great! No one can do that for us. God is the Greatest! Allahu Akbar! #TooBlessed

When you sincerely pray for something. When you work hard toward that goal. When you set your mind to it. When you overcome all of the barriers and negative energy. You sure enough better be ready for God to answer your prayers!! Have a blessed and productive day everyone #TooBlessed

Praying hard and working hard for many life events and goals right now. God is good and I know His plan is the best. If you're aiming to do something, anything, just do it! When you work hard and pray hard NOTHING and NOBODY can get in your way! God will orchestrate all the good energies of this universe to push your positive growth plan into action one moment at a time. Everyone you meet will somehow be a tool to help you work toward a better you. Even the miserable ppl will be reminders of who you DO NOT want to be. A person who gives up on themselves and loses faith that God has the power to do all things. Why can't you become whatever you wish? Why can't you achieve whatever you dream of? #DreamPlanPrayWorkBelieve #GodIsGood! Allahu Akbar
