Moments like these.......


Well the hubby and I survived an eventful Christmas with the 'Crew'. We were able to enjoy our holiday season with all '5' of our children and it was wonderful. I have a wonderful family and would not trade any of them nor the unique aspect each of them bring into our lives. Of course the children enjoyed the gift exchange and for the first year our 5 year old had an understanding of the purposes of the season and had a heart compelled to give. I provided her with funds to purchase gifts for her siblings at her school holiday store and she could not have been more excited to give. The moments like those are wonderful 'pats on the back' for a parent and bring joy to my heart. Watching my step-son play with his siblings and look back at me only to say, "I'm having a great time.....having so much fun". Those moments erase any doubt or confusion that co-parenting may bring on because when it is all said and done, it is about the joy of a child.

 For all my followers that are married or in committed relationships you have a clear understanding of the work that maintaining a relationship requires. I have loved my husband all of my adult life is what I like to remind him frequently but the moment a 'man' shows his appreciation of your love and have the desire to contribute 100% to your relationship emotionally is a moment that surpasses all the rough patches that you may have encountered. 

 As I reflect on all the moments I have highlighted in my memory of the past year I also desire to put more into my life in the upcoming year.  We have dreams and goals as humans in which we are able to achieve only by putting something in so that we may be rewarded with such achievements.  I am looking forward to setting not only earthly goals but also spiritual goals.  God desires us to not make resolutions that we may or may not uphold throughout the year but to also increase our spiritual connection with him each year he gives us life.  This moment I plan to do just that! 

 Have a safe and wonderful New Year’s Eve and look forward to what you have the ability to put into the new year so that you may increase the Blessing you receive from it. 

 Until next time!

The Mess of Forgiveness should be The Peace of Forgave

As I sit here and think on one of the hardest aspects of being human I stand in aww of the amazing God that we serve.   Imagine an existence that God deemed a lie could never be forgiven or a fallen child of the kingdom will never have the ability to redeem our hearts and return?   Are you thinking WOW, just as I did as this thought surfaced in my mind?   Well in this I had a new respect for the word forgiveness and the clarity of it being an action word just as love is.   Bet you never thought of that, huh??   Lol Sometime ago I dedicated myself to study the act of forgiveness and create a heart after God’s own heart.   I imagined myself in a place of transition: walking through an opened door in an ALL white garment with one leg that hadn’t stepped in yet with black pants and shoe on (that one leg).   I realized this spoke literally to the place I was in my life; wanting so badly to continue to live for God and grow in my spiritual walk y...

Stand without Wavering

As I sit at the computer and ponder on the upcoming transitions my life will be taking and attempting to mentally plan what I can; I immediately got a headache thinking of all I wish I could have done or what others reminded me I should have done.   In the mist of this planning I turned my speaker up on my desktop and what’s playing on Pandora, William Murphy’s Its Working.    See sometimes it is easy to know the word and even quote it but is it in your spirit?   I have been struggling with a variety of things lately causing me a great deal of stress and even minor health setbacks but today I am reminded that all things will work out for those that love the Lord and are called according to his purpose, I’m standing on his word.   In that I feel the tug at my spirit the words, “standing on his word”.   When we stand it means that we are not moving or wavering.   There is a great deal of faith required in order for us to stand without wav...

Growth is the Best Option

Have you ever experienced moments that prove your growth and it still startles you?   I have been having such moments rather often lately and I can only giggle at myself.   I have prayed often that God will elevate my maturity in him as well as in the world.   On many occasions we are hurt, experience conflict or even hurt others because of our lack of maturity spiritually as well as emotionally.   I remember reaching a period in my personal life a couple years ago that I made a choice to seek God, praying that my heart will be renewed and my mind will be more understanding in God.   That I would not have such emotional unrealistic responses to things that I did not like or made me uncomfortable especially with regards to my personal relationships.   I asked to be emotionally intimate with my husband so that we may communicate on a different level to help us both grow both together as a couple, as parents and as individuals.   For me to also be emoti...
