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!!

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...
