Time To Graduate

Today I was in San Antonio for my brothers graduation. He graduated from the Culinary Institute of America aka the CIA! I know! This morning the constant noise coming from the shower and the aroma of the hotel room woke me up with a smile on my face. I just knew that today was going to be a great day. To say that this graduation was an accomplishment would be a understatement, for my brother this graduation was Milestone. He worked so hard during the time there and finished with a great bang.

Growing up I always looked up to him, and I have always tried, in a way, to be him. He has qualities that I envy and that I admire. Being his little brother was not easy at all growing, but now as we have grown up so has our relationship. I can now say with all that I am. I LOVE MY BIG BROTHER AND I AM SO PROUD OF HIM!

My Poreia

As you can see, I have changed my blog name to My Poreia. The word Poreia is greek for a journey that is on going with: Purpose, Pursuit, and Undertaking. I wanted a new blog name for a couple of reasons.

1. I really didn't like the name in the first place. It wasn't original

2. I wanted something Greek because I just love how there are so many different meanings for just one word, and I wanted to be unique in that.

3. and final I wanted something that would fit me and that would express who I am and the journey I am on.

This new heading is supposed to illuminate on the journey of my physical life and my spiritual life. God knows that I have been struggling lately. I have been on the spiritual roller coaster of being on spiritual highs and lows. Even though it is tough to be on this ride I know for a fact that I am on it for a reason.

I know there were a lot of words that I could have chosen from, but this one really hit home with me. I think it was those three words that popped out. The first one, Purpose. I am on this journey because I have a purpose. The second one, Pursuit. I constantly pursuing what God has for me. I am always trying my hardest to understand an follow in pursuit of the beautiful one that created me. The last one, Undertaking. There is no restart button, I can't go back and do something again. The journey that I am on, the roller coaster has already begun. I have taking the challenge when I accepted Jesus into my heart. I have Undertaken this Journey.

I have been trying to feel comfortable with writing on blogs or just writing period, but with the help and encouragement of my family, friends, and God I have been able to write what really is on my mind and express it in a way that I feel.

This is my journey.... This is........ MY Poreia.
