The winners and me speaking on video (last post!!!)

Good day all, 
Thank you to everyone that participated and left feedback. I absolutely appreciate it. 
So the winners are:
Runner up winner: Honeydame
and the first place winner is:.....Destiny - Yankeenaijachick + Success(yep you defiantly keep adding to your name...lol)
Please email me Destiny - Yankeenaijachick + Success and  honeydame. My email address is earthichick@gmail.com


I've come to realize that just like TV, I was wasting alot of my time online, sooo i have come to the conclusion that i need to LIVE life, life is too short for me to devote even a quarter of it to being online. If i ever return, it will probably be in terms of audio or video. 
So i leave you all with three vids, the first is a spoken word poem that i wrote myself. The second is a vid i watched today that touched me dearly. The third is a song that i heard in october in a funeral.  


First vid: Chizzy D last words on chizzyd.com plus spoken word


Second vid: This brought me to tears


The third vid: In Christ Alone(All other ground is sinking Sand!!!!)




My favorite part was:
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
May we be his and he me ours, Amen!
Love, Chizzy ;D

A post that I couldn't write without shedding joyful tears!

Hi blogger fam,


I started this blog last november. To read my first real post(clickhere) and see where i am today, all i can do is shout in amazement of my God and how all along he had a VERY PERFECT plan for me, all i had to do was trust in him.
So, last i posted i was planning on moving to Colorado and i had a interview there before my planned moved.  Fast foward to today. I AM in Colorado(it took me three day of travel by car to get here), i have a very cute apartment, a 70 year old lady that I had never met before took me under her wings, hosted me in her home till i found my own place, cooked for me, showed me around, and helped me move into my apartment buying me some food, cleaning and kitchen supplies, and invited me to her church and yoga exercise classes. Oh and let me me not forget the biggest blessing, the EXACT day i planned on moving, the company i interviewed with called me to offer me the job!!!!!!!!


This is something that i have been praying about for over a year now. And blogger fam, out of all the positions i applied or interviewed for, this one IS the best. This position is something that entry level people in my field NEVER get until about ten years of working. Not just that, it's in a state and city that i absolutely desired to live in. HOW AMAZING IS MY GOD!!!!!!!!


I have been reflecting on this last year and how it was soo uncertain and how at times it made me really sad, mad, angry, depressed, grateful, emotional. I feel that God was trying to teach me MANY different things during that period and he was very successful. I, Chizzy D, have no power,  my WORKS have no power. All power belongs to GOD, he is the only one in control, so it only makes sense to surrender to him. 
If you are going through a similar period in life, use the time to seek what God is trying to teach you.  Regardless of the outcome, God is in control and he knows the plans he has for you even if you don't.


Thank you soo much blogger fam for your prayers and encouragement. Please pray that God continues to bring amazing ppl in my life, that i find a great church family, that i'm protected by him at all times, and that i transition properly to a professional job. 

Have a blessed day. Chizzy D

I know where i want to move to

 Good day all,

So after much research and searching my heart. I have decided that i want to move to Colorado. Where in Colorado you say, dunno that part yet(Where ever i find work probably). I am from the south eastern part of the United States ("the South" as many refer to it ) and i have always wanted to live in the Western part of the United States. I have never been to a state west of Missouri(except California), but i've been to almost every state east of Missouri. 
Now the state that i currently live in is extremely conservative(which state in the south is not? lol), i'm very used to it. People dog the south like there is no tomorrow, it will be interesting living in the anti-south=the West. I like Colorado for many reasons, one is that it seems to be a politically moderate state. Extreme conservative and extreme liberal people/places get on my nerves. 

 Anywho i have decided on Colorado, now i have to figure out how i am going to get there. I started last week specifically looking for jobs in my field only in Colorado. Grad school is also an option, but MAN their out-of-state tuition is NO JOKE!!!


Feel free to  post any suggestions, this blog might turn into "Moving to Colorado by Chizzy D"..lol.

Please help me, I want to move!!!

 Good day, 

Long time, so i'm going to stop saying "I'm back", because every time i say that phrase, it seems like something else comes up. So in the last month, i have work at three different companies. I am currently working one full time job right now. The problem is that the job is not in my state, so i have to TRAVEL everyday to work. I wake up really early to leave for work and i return late, after i eat, relax, and do very few errands, it's time for bed. So, this is what grown people do Monday to Friday ehh!?!? Ya, i'm not liking this kind of life at all at all. But i am grateful to have a job even though it is not in the field i studied. I will keep searching while i work this current job.


I've been thinking that very soon i am going to move. I really, really, really want to move before the end of this year. The problem is, i have no idea how to move to any of these places. For one, i don't know anyone in these places. I have been applying for work at these locations through online websites, but nothing. The places i would like to move to are:

1. Anywhere in the state of Corolado
2. Seattle, WA (or anywhere in that state)
3. Portland, OR (or anywhere in that state)
4. Alberta, Canada (or anywhere in Canada except Toronto and Quebec)
5. Anywhere in Sweden
6.  Anywhere in the Nordic countries

If you live any of these places or just have tips to help me move to any of these location, please(**i'm down on my knees***) comment with your suggestions.


Have a blessed day. Chizzy D
