Holiday Abnormalities.....

In looking up the definition of abnormality I found it to mean: an abnormal condition, state, or quality; irregularity; deviation.  This may be a permenant or temporary state and in many cases it is up to one to do something in order to determine which it will be. 

I have decided that my holiday spirit abnormality shall be a temporary state as I'm not satisfied with this deviation.  lol

I am generally a sap for the Christmas holidays and generally extremely excited to shop, decorate and bake yet this year I have yet to get into that spirit of cheer and excitement.  I haven't been able to find the joy yet after much prayer and soul searching I figured it out.  I'm looking too much into the natural things for the joy that I need......I need to simplify my desires and get into the joy and meaning of this season.  No matter my faults, misfortunes, or earthly desires God still remains God and we must celebrate the birth of Jesus if we are believers.  Yes, it is definitely a difficult pill to swallow when so much is going on around you or in your life but I have vowed this day that I will make this abnormality temporary and tomorrow shall be a new day.

Now to get on the computer to find new baking receipes for my family to enjoy and plan gift ideas within my budget.  I will not allow the devil to still my joy any longer.

Growing in Wisdom.....

You know I've learned in my 30 years some valuable things that I hope I'm able to remember for a lifetime and past along to my children.  Out of all these things learned there are two things that I hold on to and even have the joys of reminding the elders in my life {although the had the pleasure of teaching me}.  "Time heals all wounds"......what a big fat lie.  This is the famous statement dished to mourners, divorcees and scorn lovers.  Folks stop making this statement that should have died with mythological creatures.....it's not true!  Its not the time that does the healing but the information that you are able to learn within that time frame.  Now.....to all the mourners, divorcees and scorn lovers please remember that you must make great use to the time that God has given you beyond such tragic events in your life and learn to live beyond it, "Make a change, to receive a change" is my statement of reality.  "Love is not suppose to be this m...

God is still there with you....PRAISE him!

Good Afternoon.  I pray that life has been manageable for all of you, I've been feeling like a new puppy treading water (barely staying afloat).  lol  Last night I decided that I could not be consumed by every little imperfect detail of life or every plan that isn't happening the way I want it to.  In these moments it is easy to shift your focus from the things of God to the things of man.  In many instances at this stage of my life it tends to be my family, health or career but regardless if stand more firmly on God's word and study the word deeper in the tough times rather than studying the situation the end result will be a smoother transition. God didn't leave us to figure out life alone but he however never promised we won't have it hard from time to time.  He did promise that he will never leave us nor forsake us!  This scripture stands firm in my heart this moment and I will lean on his love as he guides me. So today I tell you to be encoura...

Leaning into 2013....

As we have now entered into a new year I see the growth and change that has pushed me into this year.   2012 provided me with several learning experiences and many changes that I will take into 2013.   In 2012 my family said hello to a sister getting married {new brother in-law} as well as a mommy getting engaged…..we now look forward to the soon arrival of a new nephew bringing in 2013 with a BIG BANG!!   I see the maturity in my marriage in a year’s time.   My children have also all began new chapters as we enter into another year and it is great to see…..   2012…….   Raven has gone from an uncomfortable middle school freshman questioning her place to a straight ‘A’ 7 th grader taking a place in society.   An artistic mind with a fashion sense to kill….all while making her parents extremely proud.   We do encounter typical preteen and parenting conflicts but I have loved every day of being her mom and she makes me immensely prou...
