Light Works Best in the Dark

Hello KnF friends!! 

I was reading past journal entries this morning from the days of 07, 08, and 09....5 yrs ago to now has been EPIC! I mean, I was craaazzzy, insecure, frustrated, confused, and purpose driven all at the same time!! :-)
I was trying so hard to find the light while i was in the "dark." There was such an absence of divine wisdom and strategy! But i wanted better! I wanted more. Real real bad. lol It's like a little baby trying to walk:-) It's actually really funny to me when i look back at it now... **inserts laughter**

So if you're out here in the dark trying to find the light, be encouraged!!! You're going to come out of that foolish talk, unproductive thinking, and mediocre living! God has much better for you then what you're experiencing. Butcha gotta be focused and diligent! Your hunger has to over take you and send you into overdrive!

He's never left you. He'll always be there with you! He'll meet you right where you are, to bring you to a better more fulfilling life. Full of joy, peace, purpose, love, happiness, healthy relationships! He can't let go! :-)

David, in Psalms 139:7-8 said to God in prayer,"Where can i go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend up into heaven, you are there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, you are there..." As jacked up as David was!!! An adulterer, a murderer, a womanizer!! But God Himself called David "a man after My own heart!"(Acts 13:22). Like David, I knew my lifestyle was flawed and it wasn't Gods best, so I was chasing after who I knew was right, wise, and all knowing! Only He could lead me to what i was so desperately wanting!! It's not enough to just live day by day angry, frustrated, confused, hurt, insecure. That's not life. That's what i call settling.

Jesus you're amazing. 

All for Love,

Jaz

Power of the Puff

I've been through some crazy growth cycles with this hair of mine! I've been natural for almost three years now and it's taken me just about that long to really figure out what my hair loves (hmmm maybe I'll do a post on my favorite products...) and how to care for it best.

You see I've let my hair grow and do it's thing, then I notice some splits, and not wanting to lose length I let them go. Bad idea. My strands split ways faster than a bad relationship in high school and I'm left with a dry, frazzled mess. I'm then left to cut said mess from my head, usually resulting in losing the length I desired. 

Fast forward to last week: I was just coming out of my winter protective style, a curly lace-front wig, and I had no desire to do a complicated style. When I say no desire...I mean literally zero. That's rare, but it happens. So, I pulled my hair up into what I felt was a respectable ponytail...it was...meh! But that night...oh that night! I loosened the pony a little and tied my hair down with my satin(y) scarf and when I awoke in the morning I had this:

A full, fluffy puff. Le sigh. I am in love. I'm twisting my hair at night to keep it somewhat tangle-free and protective styling with the twists a couple days a week, but other than that I'm rocking the puff (and the red lip lol) with pleasure. It is simple and I finally feel like I can just let it...be for a while. Yay!
