It's a Celebration!!



Well I haven’t had the opportunity to blog in several months with life taking a toll on my time and health yet I found that there is no better time than now to dive back in.  So here goes…..I sit here reflecting on this day as this is the last day of the school year for my daughters and I find it to be an emotional day yet I am trying to count it all JOY.

See I am very internet active (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Web Searching….whatever lol) and I have read several comments that many parents find it ridiculous to have so many graduations for young children.  For example many preschools have a graduation from VPK, then they graduate from Kindergarten, from elementary school (from 5th grade), from middle school (8th grade), then high school graduation.  To an adult that has accomplished each of these steps these may seem to be minor accomplishments and you may not understand why these are celebratory events yet to a child that has only had the opportunity to accomplish preschool this is a HUGE accomplishment.   Do we celebrate birthdays in grand fashion to avoid celebrating the next one?  Each year of completion is to be celebrated and I find it robbery to not do just that.  



When we make statements or have feelings based on our own accomplishments it may have a selfish motive.  We as adults choose many times not to put ourselves in the shoes of that small child that have completed elementary school.  I find it robbery not to celebrate today’s accomplishment because you are expecting tomorrow’s accomplishment.  I have seen parents bury their children prior to fulfilling all the goals they had for them yet knowing they had in a short time completed the work of God while here on earth.  I have a child myself that gives everything that she has to succeed at all that is placed before her although many times she has to work twice as hard to do so.  I would not rob her of the opportunity of celebrating each and every accomplishment she achieves.  It is important that we don’t see a child’s life through an adult eye. 

I thank God for each time I am blessed and his mercy is fallen upon me.  I do not expect this to be the completion of the task set before me as a child of God and I understand that I have more mountains to climb to continue to better myself.  As you thank God for the small blessings he bestows upon your life remember small accomplishments are the steps that form the staircase of the life accomplishments. 

Until Next Time.

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...

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’ 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...
