Still Standing

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I'm still standing. I been up against the ropes, everything you going through I been there before, I seen them all come and I seen them all go, you can bet your last that my head won't hit the floor. Never. Cause I'm still standing.

I let go and I let God, so don't hate me now. I aint what I used to be no more. You can't take this joy that I have! I'm sorry if you are offended by my confidence and favor. I'm sorry if you thought you could break me, but here I stand. I'm sorry you feel the need to down me and what I'm doing to build yourself up. I'm sorry I don't downplay my success for your insecurity.

I am a Daughter of the King, blessed beyond measure. God is so good!! He holds my hand, leads my path, and directs my every step. He is my knight in shining armor! He is everything to me, and I want to shout it to the mountaintops!

He is my best friend, my lover, my confidant, my cheerleader, my financial supporter, my doctor, my handy man and an unchanging hand in the time of need!

I'm so happy He weeded out all the toxic friends that were once in my circle. I'm so happy He delivered me from a toxic relationship, and have exaulted me above all. I'm so happy He has given me discernment; knowing who is for me and who is against me. He showing me my mistakes and the ways to correct them. He's maturing me, molding me into a Proverbs 31 woman!

I love Jesus! I'm falling head over hills for Him, and I love the path I'm on! I'm not where I'm supposed to be, but thank God I'm not where I used to be!

Sorry if your jealous, or not as fly, He can do it for you too!

This is to thank all my former and current haters. You are the wind beneath my wings! I will continue to fly high, and kill you with kindness.

Are You Happy?

Ok everyone, random thoughts. Today it was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and I was with my family. Being with my family always make me happy! I'm surrounded by love, with people I know care so much for me. I read a quote somewhere that said, "The only people I need in my life are the people who need me in theirs." Deep, huh? But oh so freaking true! Lol

Today I found myself laughing and smiling more. I walked with my head held high, with a swag unlike any other. Confident aint the word, honey! But it was a walk of humbleness, a unique closeness with my Creator. Because I know where He brought my from, making me appreciate errthang! Not everything, errthang!

So my question to you is, Are you happy? If not, why? Whats stopping your happiness? Your internal joy? What stops you from smiling? I been there, but I am determined ladies and gents to be happy. It's a daily job, sometimes hourly! But I am determined to smile, to be happy beyond all measure! Life is too short. My joy comes from Christ. Nobody on this earth gave me my joy, so nobody can take it away! And the church say, Amen! Preach, I say, preach onnnn! Lol

Some days are easier than others. Sometimes I have to force myself to look at the bright side of my day because evil thoughts of my past attempt to bring me down. And sometimes they do get the best of me. I remember when I used to have to go to the bathroom and cry it all out. It was actually cleansing for me. But I'm working more on myself more than ever. I will leave this earth fully satisfied!

And guess what, my journey has just begun.

You Are Now Rocking With the Best! My Introduction

Heyyyyy everybody in web land! I've been wanting to start a blog for since like, years ago, but never got around to it. But nevertheless, I'm here! This blog is for me, to express whats going on in and around me. Hopefully there's women out here who can relate to me. My struggles, my joys, my highs and my lows. I'm looking to inspire. I'm looking to share my story and testimony of where I been, and where god has brought me!

I'm building my empire!!! (Muahh-ha-ha-ha!). The year of 2010 is the start of my empire. I'm an now fearless. I'm going after everything that I wanted, and everything that I procrastinated about. Everything that I put off, I'm now doing! I'm so proud of myself!

Since 2007 I been trying to write my book, I am now almost finished typing it, and by the end of the year I want it to be done, complete, polished and spit-shined, at the doorstep of every publisher in America. In January I'm launching, "Daughters of the King", it's a Christian ministry for young minority women to promote sisterhood, growth, self-value, and a relationship with Jesus Christ. Oh yes, watch me fly, folks!

Coming to you live, well not live but you know what I mean!, from Chicago, Illinois life is gggrrreeeattttt! From the hoods of East Cleveland, to Columbus, Ohio to Chicago, Illinois my journey has been filled with tears. Tears of joy, tears of pain, tears of happiness and tears of hurt. But I've come along way, and it's all because of Jesus! He gets all my glory and praise honey! You betta recognize!

So through my blog, Miss Thang in the City, I'll be talking about everything from fashion, to spirituality, to men, to shoes, and everything else that affects African American women, really women in general even tho I believe we sistas have a bond (though some "sistas" dont care too much for it, but I digress :)).

I want to you to enjoy my journey and chirp in! I want to hear from you. Advice, comments, feedbacks, even criticisms. I"m open, and I"m free.

Hello, everyone. My name is Angela Wilson, and I'm a child of God.
