Transition of MzzA

During a conversation with a really good friend of mine and a great testimony at church Sunday it occurred to me that many of us are afraid of succeeding or held back due to our ‘past’.   As a society we deal more on the past than the future which is a huge hindrance and can even hold us back from our destiny that was planned for us before we were conceived.   I find that it is important as a society that we no longer evaluate the worth of an individual based on their past yet more based on their present and potential.   We can assist in the pushing of someone into their destiny just as we have the ability to do the opposite.     It is just as important that we not be afraid to tell our own ‘past’ goodbye.   At what point of life is it okay to admit your transgressions and confess to your growth while not being fearful to step forward?   I always tell people that; “You cannot drive forward successfully while looking in the rearview mirror”...

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...
