Focused on God’s Plan

In My Feelings... I don’t want to Feel No Ways...I have Trust Issues and this is just NOT God’s Plan. Eh, I have Draked way too much, but I have a reason for this... so lately I have noticed that I need to make a change. I feel like I am stagnate and I have felt that way for a little bit now.  I decided to write down some goals. To go along with those goals I decided I need to brainstorm and research so that I could write a prayer for each goal. I also found scripture to go with the prayer that focuses on the goal(s). How does this go with being in my feelings? Well at some point in my life a husband and a family would be cool, but it’s not necessarily the focus. Let’s just say I need to take that goal through the same process of  writing a prayer and finding the scripture, but in the meantime, my mentality is not there. When I think about what I am attracted to and what I like in a man and etc etc... I feel like most of those thoughts are shallow or I am just saying what my mom would want me to want in a man. Reality is I am very very very shielded when it comes to dating and its only getting worst as I get older and different insecurities come out that I have to learn to accept and deal with before I can allow someone to get to me. AND I am mad independent. I also can’t deal with bulls***. In other words dudes don’t know how to keep it real like just say what you mean and mean what you say... like if you like me bet if you don’t bet... like I am old people now like I am over childish garbage. For the most part I feel better with out the extra emotional feelings about having a boyfriend. I feel better without having to think about how I might have to uproot my life in order to make something work. I feel better knowing I only need to feed myself. BRUH I sound selfish af. LOL. But you know why??? Because I have changed my whole thought process for guys who were kind of stringing me along. It’s not their fault as Drake would say: When I good thing goes bad it’s not the end of the world its just the end of a world that you have with... one boy.” I like single. I like making choices for myself. What’s the problem?
The temptation. Duh, I am human and I know what feels good. AND I am not even talking about sex.  I mean like rough days when you really wish your dude will just hold you. Nights when you want to cry on dudes shoulder and he won’t ask what’s wrong he just understands you need to get that out real quick. Kisses. Times when you really just need a hug or when you need someone who (so-called) for real likes you and will tell you that you are cute. Someone to twerk to even when you look like a praying mantis. Someone who will eat a whole cake with you. I actually have plenty of girls to do this with but um I like the opposite sex. And my last ex had some annoying habits, not gonna lie I miss those sort of things in moderation. What I am saying is the physical is missed... what appeals to the flesh is what is missed.  I am not here to say: That is wrong and that is condemnation to hell. NOPE... although pre-marital sex is fornication and even having the slightest sexual deviant thought is fornication I am not here to preach on that... you go ahead and pray on that for yourself if you feel convicted... I just recognize such a temptation might make your brain travel away from your focus. I am asking God to help me stay focused and now all of a sudden I miss as hug from a dude from 2-3 years ago... get out of here with that, you know who is trying to keep me from glory.... 
If I am saying literally saying: I DON’T WANT TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP.  Then that is just not the way for me right now.  I am trying to be a girl boss. 
Although at one point Rihanna was dating some dude while building her Fenty Brand she also stayed focused and found herself single too. Someone might be saying we all grown you can get your swerve on and build your brand. I really can’t. I am trying to recognize that I have a purpose and I have a really big idea/goal. I need to hear from GOD about it and no one else so I DON’T need extra cause that will cause confusion. I am the type who would drop everything for someone else. I also recognize that everything will happen as it is supposed to in its proper time. It took a lot for me to admit that I would like a husband and family one day, because I was starting to be ok without that. It is ok to be alone...YES IT IS... Is is ok to want a family one day... YES IT IS. All in due time. All in God’s time... All in God’s Plan.... was 

Scriptures about staying focused: 

1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV 

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.

Philippians 4:13 ESV 

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.  



Everything is one step at a time. 
In the meantime a girl can daydream 😂 SEE:

Random a year later...The dream wedding that got away....


Once upon a time I was about 10 years old and my mom was a maid of honor in a friends wedding. I was a junior bridesmaid.  My mom actually helped this and other weddings and has a bride's plan book. I would often look at that book especially as a pre-teen, when I was planning my wedding with Marques Houston. Marques and I were married several times btw. Once during the winter actually for some reason the winter one is stuck in my memory. I guess because many of the stories began with us already being married. Moving on... 


As I got older my wedding morphed with the relationship... such as the Howard U wedding.... the military wedding.... yeah... *crickets*

A few years have since passed. Marques is engaged to some chick name Marlena (its been a really long engagement and I am just like so when are y'all gonna *in my lil kim voice* "do the damn thing?") Relationships have come an gone and Danielle or as I like to refer to myself,  Miss Daniels (its a teacher joke, the kids can't pronounce my name and I don't correct them) has grown ALOT. Like ALOT ALOT.... 

One of my favorite things to do was dream/fantasize about love, families, "hearts, Stars, and Horseshoes, Clovers and Blue Moons, Pots of Gold and Rainbows, and Red Balloons...they're magically delicious!"  My wedding was a big part of that, but at some point through the process of personal growth and near death experiences I was just like...No....

I haven't thought about my wedding in years. I mean I have thought about the dress, I always thought I wanted the mermaid style, but sometimes I want a pretty pretty princess gown. I have always adored a princess cut diamond but now I am liking that emerald cut. I thought I wanted to be married on a beach, but my backyard isn't looking so bad. 
That tiara tho.... First wedding be like...

This isn't some sort of strange engagement announcement.

But questions and ideas have been brought to my attention. And I just find it completely crazy that this chick who has married Marq at least 5 times (in my head) has no idea what my wedding should look like.... and maybe it's because it's not a for sure thing...its just let's talk out of our a$$es momentarily. 

I actually find it to be sad. Most people became bridezillas I am just like maybe I should put it in my mom's hands when the time comes. ("Indy, Big mistake.") 

I guess I also use to be rich in my stories so there's the biggest difference. How I wish I could say money is no object... hahaha I only feel that way in a  Forever 21. 

Saving money, is probably a good idea...I also had no idea plates of food were so expensive, like why? My mom has been saying lately you should have a small wedding...which I would really like to know how one with large families and lots of friends can accomplish? Ppl gotta eat...and its a grip... smh.... 
Second wedding be like...
Being that its (engagement, parties, bridal shower, weddings, reception) in the horizon of the future I guess I can find that book my mom bought  oh so many years ago and try to remember one of the weddings I had with Marques.....

PS:  Pinterest just makes it worst. 
PSS: Mariah Carey was a guest for me and Marq you think she can make it to the Ryan and Danielle wedding...how does that work?
