The Story Ain't Over

Sunday, March 23, 2008

Easter- Most people know it as a day representing "new birth", many recognize it as the day Jesus Christ ascended to heaven. But many don't realize what that means for humanity. Growing up, I've always heard stories of Jesus Christ dying on the cross for my sins, but I never really understood what that really meant until now. The essence and truth of Christ's glory began at the grave- where chains were loosed and our enemy slain. In 3 days the battle was won. In 3 days rose our champion. He overcame death by the power of His name. Jesus Christ the Messiah- the one who reigns. He has risen from death to life. Now let all the earth proclaim! HE IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN!

The Bible talks about Christ overcoming the world- meaning the systems of the world that keeps the mind in bondage. And those who believe in, and rely on, and trust in His name have overcome the world as well. So what does Easter mean? It means we are victorious through Christ Jesus our Lord! The Story Ain't Over.

I can't give up

Wednesday, March 19, 2008

Okay, it’s been two years since graduation and I’m still on the prowl to start my career in writing. Living in South Florida doesn’t help me much as far as the industry I really want to get into unless I speak and write Spanish fluently. Most of the advertising agencies, TV stations, and productions companies are either looking for people with 5+ years of experience or as I mentioned someone bilingual. Sometimes I feel as if my B.A in Multi-Media doesn’t prove anything. How am I supposed to get experience if companies don’t want to hire recent grads? Most of my experiences have been through internships, part-time gigs and contracts. I believe that I am capable of getting the job done and done well. But what do I hear most of the time? “OVER QUALIFIED” or “NEED MORE EXPERIENCE” I’m pretty much fed up with those phrases. I don’t want to ever hear them again. Yes, they were very discouraging at some point but I just realized that I am a person of vision. I’ve been blessed to create, produce, and multiply. So just because some company doesn’t want to hire me to write, THAT’S NOT GOING TO STOP ME FROM WRITING!

It's On the Scene

Metamorphosis

Wednesday, March 5, 2008

I purchased this really cool looking, hard cover, navy blue journal from Barnes & Nobles (My 3rd home, My 2nd home is Starbucks, My first is whenever I'm with my boyfriend) because of the quote that's imprinted on the cover. Usually my journals are black or brown but this one really called out to me because of my current state of mind. The imprint states" Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly". 2007 was such a rough year for me; it was as if everything was collapsing from career to relationships, to finances and health. It was horrible; it really felt like I had no choice but to take every test life had to bring in one year. I don't know if this is a real word but I'd like to call 2007 a Jobial year. For those who aren't familiar with the story of Job in the Old Testament of the Bible, here's an abbreviated version. Great guy, had everything going for him; wife, kids, family, wealth, and riches, healthy, popular. Everybody loved him. But out of nowhere wife dies, kids die, money gone, everyone is cursing him, and is infected with a very noticeable disease. So, yeah I felt like Job ALL of last year. But you know what 2008 signifies a new beginning. Job had his new beginning too, not only was it a new beginning for him but everything he lost was restored to him double time. So I'm looking forward to this New Year, to this new page/chapter of my life. I have a feeling that I'm about to fly!

Maeva's Show Must Go On!

I’m coming out of my cocoon
For years I’ve allowed the spirit of rejection control my life, but as of this day, no longer will that generational curse be an issue in my life. I am beginning a new season, a new chapter, a new phase, and a new stage. My show must go on!
