Self Responsibility


In the light of a tragedy that really hit home to me due to me being a mother I feel the urge to express my new found clarity.  It is clear from the response of many people around me that fear exudes anger as does an angry spirit around you.  I’m not sure that I understand how such a tragedy which has left an entire town in pain can cause society to be so hateful in response.  I see that no matter the motive nothing with justify the harming of little innocent children and no gun law or armed teachers will correct this.  This dangerous person was clearly controlled in anger and we are allowing his anger to be exuded among us.

I feel that this is the time for society to support one another and pray for a devastated community rather than arguing about gun laws or the reason for the killings or who is to blame (the mother, the father, or lack of mental health assistance).  The respect has been lost in society and even I am re-evaluating myself to take responsibility for my misdelivered opinions.  Everyone is entitled to an opinion yet it isn’t okay to scrutinize one another.  This is not the moment to argue creating more animosity among society and increasing the angry spirit that has caused such a tragedy.

As a mother I am now taking responsibility to cherish every minute with my children no matter the struggles I may have, the screaming they may produce, the sleepless nights I may have, the visits to the doctor, the arguments among them or my much needed time of praying for understanding.  This is a time that I educate myself as well as my children of disaster evacuation and what to do to protect themselves as well as one another. 

I continue to pray for our society and for the peace of God to reign not only in my life and that of my family but throughout our society in a strong way.  I pray we become more of a communicative society with much compassion and love.  God‘s love stands even in the midst of tragedy.

Rest In Peace

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...
