Patiently waiting....
Tuesday, July 20, 2010 
I feel that it is so rude when people attempt to ask one hundred questions about your life, only to get information about you with no good intentions. I have come to realize that I tend to meet people who want to be my friend for the wrong reasons. My real friends say I like to "pick up stray dogs". But, I seem to feel that I can always help someone. I've noticed that the more you help some people the more they dislike you and talk about you. Me, I'm the opposite. I never forget what anyone does for me. In fact, I always make an effort to over compensate anyone that takes their time to do something nice for me.
It's great to have dear friends: you can help them with something and they can help you with something different. "One hand washes the other". But, this isn't always the case. People want to take take take... Humility and appreciation is the best gift you can give anyone. You should always celebrate a good friend, especially the ones that are there for you when you' re down. Just saying...
The best advice my mom gave me was to never get weary in doing good because in due season GOD will repay you...
TIP: satan always attacks those next in line for a PROMOTION!

i really like the jumpsuit its cute...your right people are mean and want to befriend you for the wrong reason...they become your minimes...but i guess its right what they say if they dont talk about you then your not doing it right
Cute shoes and jumpsuit. God send you wrong friends to know who's your friends
Yes if I were rich like you i would believe in god, too. It´s easy to believe if you have not really big problems, with a big house, a lot of money and all stuff I wish.
Love the shoes! Great post...lovely blog!
I know what you mean. I can relate. I tend of over compensate too ... in our culture we have a saying which can be translated as "Do good and throw it in the Well" To expect that when you do good it will come back is unrealistic. I try and continue my life and do what I think is right without expecting anything back. [I TRY! but not always succeed :P]

@jazzy, what's with the negativity? Life isn't a walk in the park for ANYONE. And trying to tearing someone else down will not bring you up. Whatever you are going through will pass. Pray on it. Work hard. It will pay off.
@ Latoya, thanks for discussing this matter before I woke this morning with Jazzy.:)
@Jazzy, If you only knew what I've been through in my life I can write a book and plan on it. I believe in GOD because I've had so many trails and He has brought me through(I say to myself I know this was only you GOD I couldn't have done this alone it has to be YOU I know it was you thank you God). This let's me know HE is there, this is why I have faith and expect great things as you should. Don't look at the exterior of someome because that doesn't always mean they are happy. Have you read my blogs where I had sad and bad days? Everyone does but when you come through still standing is where you gain your strenth and look up and thank HIM because you know you didn't get through the trail alone. P.S And yes my mom tells me we are very rich (my cousin Lynn reminded me the other day) and that's with the love of a supportive family (something money can't buy). Keep working at your dreams and praying and remember have faith and if you don't know GOD seek Him, he'll be your best friend.;)
Wow @ the comment posted above. Tanya keep holding your head high and believing in the almighty. No one can tell you what you have been through in order to gain what you have gained unless they have walked a mile in your shoes. So yes, you are rich and abundatly favored because you believe and know that there is someone out there greatly than us who is carrying us on every step of our journey.
Tanya, excellent testimony. It's really not about the money, the trinkets, the jewels, etc. Although these things are nice (I love fashion as well, which I why I started visiting your blog), YET.....the things that matter most is the peace of God and having positive God fearing people in your life.
God brings happiness, his word brings life, his grace brings healing and restoration.
@ Jazzy. Please Get to know the Lord Jesus Christ. This wonderful counselor loves you more than you'll ever know. That's why he died to save you. He loves you so. Let him guide you. Get to know him and except him in your heart. He will fulfill your every need.
God bless you all.
BTW, Tanya love the navy jumpsuit and wedges.. Super cute.
I LUV Rompers!!!!! That one is so cute and it's not all bootyfied, lol : ) Mucho gusto!
@Tanya, good things come to those who wait....but you know that. Enjoy the wait. Ride the wave...
@Jazzy, I understand how you may feel, but you must realize that in order to have things in life you MUST be grateful for what you already have. Until that happens you get nothing or if you do it will be taken away. Trust me. Grateful is the word for this season in your life. Things are just things. What's important is love and having the basics, like hot water, shelter. I felt like you before too but I'm a little older now and have had things, lost things and had things again. Things and riches don't compare with being happy without them and not needing them to feel important. You have to know that you are just as important as someone with a castle and a bentley even when you are but naked. You are a queen whether there is a crown or not. You just have to know that.
Also, another key point, no matter what it looks like, to whom much is given MUCH is required. Nothing is free. Nothing! Nobody lives in a fantasy world without paying for it...and I don't mean paying money, I mean paying with trials and tribulations that force you to earn your blessings. I could write a book as well but I can also tell you stories about people I have seen throughout life that had things and took them for granted and crashed to rock bottom because they did not start out being GRATEFUL for what they had in the beginning!
Sorry for the book : D, Be blessed ladies!
....And when you become grateful and understand what I said above you will begin to see God and know God and when you do you won't be able to help but believe in Him.
That is how you get your blessings. Not after you get blessed, but knowin God before you get blessed. It all starts with God. The alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end.
Until you know Him, you really are not even living. Sorry for those of you who don't know this yet.
By being grateful, your attention shifts to where you can see God but being swallowed up in your "big troubles" (which we all have) without knowing Him and focusing on what everyone else has instead of what God has blessed you with, blinds you to what God can offer you.
Which is, exceedingly and abundantly above all that we may ever think or ask. But, it all starts with Him. Period.
Sorry, ya'll got me started! You can look forward to my blog coming in the future that will help us address the issues we face on a day to day. God bless.
your swag is out of this world auntie! love the bun
You've been blessed with such a big heart that you're so accepting of people on the surface. Sometimes people come in your life on the pretense on being your friend but really their not your friends. I want you to learn who's your friends and who's just associates but don't change the big heart that you have cause that's why I love you so much.
Love the look....you already know! Great romper, great shoes, the hair...etc. etc. I love it! Love the comments posted by everyone. I will not go any furhter cuz I would literally have written a page on here!! But I will say through your belief in GOD, and your love for GOD, it is obvious he has blessed you with many blessings.....as he has for all of us! IThose with not alot of money, not a big house, and problems are blessed as welll. GOD LOVES ALL OF US! I am forever grateful for ALL HE HAS BLESSED ME WITH (not just material things!!!) after some pretty tough lessons he's put me through. But you keep on keepin on.....I love the fashion tips, pics, and positive blogs!!! I'm tempted to keep typing........have so much to say....but I'm going to sign off now......LOL!!!!!! Chow !
Wow! We went to church on this post! You never how you will touch peoples lives...your motive was to show a hot romper and AMAZING shoes (which I just went out and purchased for myself thanks to the ALWAYS inspirational majormusthaves)..and it turns out you and everyone else that left a message to Jazzy have hopefully inspired a young woman to start or renew her relationship with GOD. Tanya, you truly do have a sweet, loyal, loving, honest, and giving spirit. You are also very SMART so anyone that is putting on a front to be your friend with ill intentions is sure to be recognized and dismissed. Love you! and I love my new shoes!!! YAY!!
Hey Tanya!
I enjoy your blog :) Your fashion sense is so on point. Is Sweet Rags your store?
xo
Your jumper is soo cute! I love the way you address the readers it's very professional! Hat's off to you... God is the head of your life and you do not have to argue that! Your foundation and family is what God had lined up for you before you even knew it! Friends come and go but everyone come into you're life for a reason and some for a season! It's up to you to find that purpose and honestly some is just for a learning experience all of them are not to love even though that is your heart! No matter what people say stay and i mean stay who you are and keep doing what your doing!!! Love ya!
Cute outfit! I especially love the shoes!!
Adorably cute wedges !
