God is AWESOME

Today, I came home to a wonderful surprise. My oldest son is registered for college! He is now a college student. Praise be to God. This has been a long time coming! You just don't understand. After some struggles, going in and out of school, and other issues, he finally finished high school with his high school diploma and now he is going to college. God is all up and through this! After a lot of blood, sweat, tears, hollering, threatening, and PRAYING, LOTS OF IT, this day has finally come! I have to admit, there were times when I didn't think it was going to happen. There were days when I wanted to give up and throw in the towel. But, I couldn't because I didn't want him to give up on himself. So, I prayed and I kept on him, and kept on him. I know I was getting on his nerves, but I didn't care. I just kept on him and kept him on the altar. I knew that God would move in a mighty way! And, yes he did! It's so amazing what God can do if we let him! Yes, we must give it to God and let it go. He will work it out. I'm a living witness to that. I am just so grateful and thankful to God right now that this day is here! The key to this is: Never give up on yourself because God won't give up on you! He has equipped us with the tools to be successful. We just have to remain faithful and stay focused. If He has placed something in your heart and it just won't go and it's of God, then He will give put you in the places you need to be and around the people you need to be around to get you where HE wants you to be. So, don't give you on yourself! Because God will not and has not given up on you! Peace and Blessings,

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff

There comes a time when we have to learn how not to sweat the small stuff. Instead of complaining about how things aren't, think about what things were or could have been. Look back at your life and see how blessed you are to be where you are today. Many of us are lucky to even be here to complain. Sometimes, we need to take a step back and reflect on what it is we are really complaining about. Most of the time, it's just not worth it. For instance, we can complain about how are children won't keep their room clean exactly the way we would like. As long as it's not totally filthy with food particles and such on the bed and floors and the room is relatively clean, what's the big fuss? Seriously, when you thing about the people who have lost their children for whatever reason, you can imagine how they would love to have their child be around to have a dirty room. How about your job? You can complain about how hard they work you for little pay and just pile more work on you and don't appreciate you. Well, think about all the people who have lost their jobs and are still looking. Be thankful you even have a job in this economy. If you don't like where you are, change it. If you need more skills, work on getting more skills. If your job is really that bad, look for another one, but don't complain about it. Last year, I spent most of the summer in and out of the hospital. From having emergency surgery, an infection, a blood clot, falling. I have realized that it's just not worth it to complain about things that just aren't that important. Life is too short to worry about the little stuff. Just enjoy what you have and where you are now. Peace and Blessings!

Great to be back

It's been awhile since I've posted on this blog. Life happens. I have dedicated myself to at least trying to post three times a week and working up to everyday. There are a lot of things on my mind I'd like to voice my opinion about. And it's just that, my opinion. If you agree, fine. If you don't that's fine too. We can agree to disagree, but we must be respectful of other peoples opinions. We must learn to respectfully disagree and not resort to name-calling or other things becoming of people who are supposed to be adults. With that said, last summer was a long one. I spent most of it in and out of the hospital. Totally, I was in the hospital six times from July to September. But, I'm here and I thank God for that. Things could have been much worse, but He saw me through! I am so eternally grateful to God for bringing me and my children through. I have a lot on my mind that I want to say and share with people. Not really personal stuff, but just life stuff. It is my hope to get people to think, learn and grow. If what I post can help someone, that is even better. That is what I really want to do. Help people to realize their potential and to learn to think. There is alot going on in this world, particularly in this country and a lot of it is really ugly. Well, that is all for tonight. I have to go to work tomorrow. So, I hope you stay tuned to my blog. I hope you can get something out of it. I'm going to try not to rant endlessly. That is not my goal. As I said, I want to inspire, help and get the thought processes going. I hope you will hand in there with me! Peace and blessings to you and your families!
