Blessed and Highly Favoured!!

Today, I write my post with a thankful heart :) The Lord has been good to me and I want to say thank you to my Saviour.

I woke up late this morning, I struggled to sleep because I was worried about the Psychology Masters interviews I had on Monday and Tuesday. Those two days were tough and emotionally draining. I finished my interviews on Tuesday and went home and got straight into bed. I had no energy to do anything else. The rest of the week was a blur to me. And so I woke up today, more than an hour late and stressed. I took a bath, ran a few errands and went to the University.

I sat in my car and started preparing myself for the radio interview I had. A beautiful, young and vibrant young lady who does the lunch time show on the campus radio station, Kovsie FM, was interviewing me about my blog. Akilah gave me an opportunity to talk about my passion and I embraced the opportunity. #LunchWithAkilah was amazing and she made me feel so comfortable. I was proud to be sitting there talking about something I love doing, but even more proud to be interviewed by a young woman who knew what she wanted in life. A young woman who is working towards achieving her goals and making things happen for herself. My interview went better than I expected and I left the studio feeling a lot better than I felt the morning.

So as I walked to my car, I received the phone call I had been waiting for all week. I answered and for a moment, my heart felt like it sank to my stomach. The voice on the other end of the phone asked me if I wanted to have a good weekend and my reply was an obvious 'YES!'. And with that, she gave me the best news EVER. I was one of the 10 individuals who were selected to do my Masters in Clinical Psychology next year. I cried, laughed and jumped up and down, all at the same time. The joy I felt was unlike anything I had ever experienced. The joy I feel is indescribable. I am going to do something I have always wanted to do and I can only thank God for giving me the chance to do it. He continues to amaze me, just when I think I cannot be amazed, He shows off a little more.

Today, I am proud to say that I am La-Toya Stone. Blogger. Shoe addict. Fashion lover. Dreamer. Woman. Future Psychologist. Blessed and highly favored.

God is getting out my dreams and I am going to make Him so proud of me!!


Take Care

What Susie says about Sally...

‘What Susie says about Sally, says a lot more about Susie than it says about Sally.’ I came across this and thought it would be a sin not to post this. I know I have written about this before but I thought I should say something about it again. How quick are we to judge others? It really takes nothing nowadays for someone to say something bad about someone else. It has become almost second nature to open our mouths and to spread a story about someone else. In most cases, it does not even concern us at all. We spend way too much time concerned with the lives of others when we should be focused on making our own lives better. And it is true, what you say about someone else really does say more about you than it does about them. If you make it a habit of spreading stories, lies, rumours, whatever it may be, soon, you will have a reputation. And no one will believe you when you bad mouth others, because they already know that you have a reputation of doing so. The bottom line is t...

The clouds will fade...

I love rainy days. Days like today. I love them. The air seems so much cleaner. I inhale it and I feel alive. I feel alive. Rain has a cleansing effect. It falls down to the Earth and wipes all the dirt away. It penetrates the ground and works its way through every soil granule and blade of grass it can find. It leaves its mark on everything it touches. It cleanses. And then, it makes way for growth. That is what rain does. It touches the Earth and makes flowers grow, it makes grass green, and it nourishes and feeds so that growth can take place. And after the rain has stopped, the dark clouds that once threatened are gone, and it leaves us with a beautiful rainbow and the sun that eventually makes its way through the clouds. After the rain, growth takes place and the sun does eventually shine again. And in our lives, it works basically the same way. The dark clouds arise in the form of our problem and obstacles, chasing the sun away. They chase our joy away. They hover in our s...

They Chose My Womb

-
I often wondered if it would ever happen for me… I often wondered if having life growing inside    me would be something I would experience too.  You know how those thoughts of doom and gloom enter your mind and try to convince you that it is merely something you will witness and never have the pleasure of experiencing first hand. And as the years rolled by, those thoughts grew and gained strength.  I had often obsessed over it. Pretended not to be bothered, but secretly obsessing over it. Until it consumed me.  When I lost my Father and my best friend, the obsession grew. Almost as though I were trying to replace these two lives I lost with another. But continuously, I was disappointed. And so the thoughts grew. The thoughts became stronger and more prominent.  I didn’t know how to wait on God’s timing anymore, and frankly, I didn’t know if I wanted to. I became selfish and trusted Him less, although I still prayed for some kind of miracle. Which sounds we...
