Shanti L.

Less talking. More Praying. Gotta keep that goal in mind!

About Me

I'm just a laid back person who loves the Lord and who is trying to make the best happen out of life. I graduated from North Carolina A&T State University...(Aggie Pride!) with a B.A. in Psychology.Life has truly been a journey for me, yet a blessing, and a learning experience. I've had some struggles, yet I try not to regret anything that has happened in my life. All things worked out for my good and it ultimately made me the woman that I am. I thank God for His unfailing love because I know that I failed Him many times, yet still His grace and mercy remains.I love to laugh and make other people laugh. Overall, I love to have fun. I don't like drama and I try my best to stay away from it. I like to keep things simple. I cherish the little things and I love to be around family and friends. Yes, I am a Christian, but I don't think I'm "holier than thou." We have all fallen short of His glory, and I know that I have plenty of times and I'm still a work in progress. Yet, "I am confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in me will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." (Philippians 1:6).If you don't have a relationship with Christ and you felt in your heart an obligation to change and to do His will then feel free to say this prayer:"Father, forgive me of all my sins. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and believe in my heart that you raised Him from the dead. I surrender my will to you and from this day forth I will follow you. Lead me and guide me Lord to do what is pleasing in your sight so that I can bless your name and be a blessing to others. I confess this very day that I am saved by your grace. In Jesus name, Amen."
