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’ 7th 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 proud.  We now look forward to this year’s birthday party planning…..the big ‘13’!!

Rayla has gone from a shy preschool student not socializing much to a very vibrant kindergartner with friends.  She has graduated into a socially aware little girl with a very caring heart and passion to match.  This passion does make for difficult parenting yet we shall pray and conquer.  Lol I love this miracle of mine is what I like to call her (with her being born soon after my battle with serious illness)

Jaire my smallest little ‘Crew’ member born only 4lbs 9oz has taken on the role of oldest twin with ease proving that he may be smaller but he is definitely the leader.  He has showed his twin brother that the potty can be done with ease and quick without the tears.  Although not very vocal at times he proves to us that he does not lack understanding yet he is providing his brother the opportunity to be heard.  He is a cool little guy, with a great arm and a true mommy’s boy….bringing in the new year at a new big school.

Jamir is my husky soft guy that does not mind showing us all what he is made of.  He has grown into a very musically inclined little guy with skills to prove it.  He loves knowledge, big trucks and his daddy but finds the need to use a potty to be torcher.  Lol My guy has taken on the new challenge of a new big school with ease and excitement.

Through the tests and trials that we encounter we ride the roller coaster only praying that the ride attendant will soon turn it off so that we may once again walk on the ground with ease but it is important to reminisce from time to time.  To recognize that you made it and that God has more rides for you indeed yet you will soon enter another chapter or year to only look back at the last ride and thank him.  Bring it 2013……you already have me excited!!

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...
