I know we hear this all the time, but God really does work in mysterious ways..
I decided my car had quit on me for the last time so I took two buses, and walked eight blocks to the auto dealership. I had no idea if I would get a loan or even have to take two buses back home. But after three hours and a little stress I drove away in a brand new Jeep.
Come to find out my engine died on my eclipse……Man, what a blessing! 
I realized the fact that I am a big kid! I love to do some of the things that I do with my God Daughter, only difference is the fact that I tire quicker (much quicker) then she does.
Water ballon fights, water gun wars, hide n seek, you name it, I love it! lol
Everything in life has its joys and pains. To everything there is a good and not so good side, I suppose that is what balance is all about. This journey in which I am embarking is the most difficult and most important of my entire life. I often question if I can do it….am I good enough to be called “mother”. Or even God mother…(anything with the term mother) Its scary and exciting…I will make mistakes, or get fustrated or tired….but I know with God here walking me through…I can do it….
Well its that time of the week again….Time for the hussle and bussle and mania we pack into this early part of the week. Its so cyclical….Just keeps going round and round…Its Fri then its Mon ~ its Fri then its Mon
I was the angriest I think I have been in a long time this weekend….So angry that I just jumped in my car and drove. I drove until I wasnt angry anymore. Dont you just hate it when someone tells you they are going to do something…have you waiting ALL day..then just flat out dont do it? And to add insult to injury they have the nerve to get angry and indignant when you ask about it or attempt to tell them how the noncommittment they just demonstrated has ruined your entire afternoon.
Humans. I guess thats all you can chalk it up to. Human Nature. I suppose that is why Christ tells us time and time again that the only one that WILL NEVER disappoint us is HIM. Because if we leave it up to humans then we are in great danger of being disappoint time and time and time again!
Did you all see this movie? Tyler Perry really out did himself with this one!
I know I am Johnny come lately with this thing ~ but I LOVE this movie. I feel as though the issues portrayed were real and some in which the people can truly relate to. Although I have never been married, I am sure those issues are some in which couple endure time and time again.
This movie is a must see! In my opinion, it truly says that without GOD nothing we do will work! That we need him in every inch of our lives….
Good Job Tyler…..
I woke up this morning in a different place. A stronger, more optimistic place. One in which exist a desire to get all that I dont have and acheive all that I have ever wanted. I am a bit tired, brusied and even fearful of certain things, but I am ready for what life has to offer. I have my doubts, fears, misconceptions and life lessons, but as long as there is one more day, there is a chance to achieve what is great.
I am in a different place. I am ready to begin again.
*Make it a great day*

I truly dont know why we are so perplexed when its time to do what we know needs to be done. I think its because of a fear that we may have of something unknown. Also we get comfortable quickly, even when in situations that we know are not permanent, therefore making it difficult to remove ourselves.
Anxiety is not of God and is not from God. When you know you are doing the right thing, there should be a sense of peace that you have. Having the faith to believe that things will work out just fine. When you know something needs to be done – do it. All things will work themselves out in the end. All things work together for the good of those that love God. Romans 8:28
I was meditating and listening to my Ipod this evening when something came over me. I fought it a little but in the end it won (as always). It reminded me of all the love that I have around me. My family and my closest friend (whom I sometimes take for granted but has been there for so many years). I love those people. More than life. And whats more, they love me. The love that they show me is a manifestation of the love of Christ. Its him loving me through people. My circle of people, is really one man manifested in many. How amazing.
Ok so heres the thing. When you call him and talk to him about anything be ready to hear the truth. And be ready to be corrected if correction is in order. But through love he does it. Here is what he asked me to do. So I’ll do it.
I know you are reading this. I know you have been reading these throughout.
A song by Hezekiah Walker came on today “I need you to survive”. NIce song. Some of the lyrics read “I wont harm you with words from my mouth”. That is not what he expects of his children. No matter wheather we feel justified or not when we come to him he will correct us. Some of what I said was unjustified and ugly. It was wrong. And Satan wants nothing better then to see a nasty dirty feud between Gods people. I have my thoughts and opinions but most should have remained unsaid. In the end noone wins except him and eveyone involved is burned. Words cut worse than knives. They can cut down to the very core. That is what makes them powerful.
No more war of words. No more cuts. No more feuds. No tit for tat….Its over. We belong to Christ. Its not what he wants.
I am listening to this song this morning on my I-pod (yes I should be working!)
I wanted to share the lyrics with you all – the title is I HOPE YOU DANCE by Leann Womack
Enjoy your day everyone – and P.S – I hope you dance…..
Hope You Dance lyrics
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances but they’re worth takin’,
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’,
Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin’ out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
Dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance..
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)
