Life's Matters

Life is to be experienced - good or bad. One must sacrifice to truly show him or herself loyal. Even when it involves loyalty to oneself. One thing I found to be true, you must look pass the obvious if you really want to see what's inside a person's heart, to even see what is inside you. Hurt and damage can be caused by others disappointments but if we learn with practice to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and not lean to our own understanding,He will truly direct our paths. I think this will allow room for growth and less hurt from disappointment, not to mention less disappointments. Real love is forgiving, even when it is not so easy to do. Let's grow together yall....

Christians by Maya Angelou When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'" I'm whispering "I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven." When I say... "I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it. When I say... "I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a sim...

I had plan to talk about humbleness. I guess it goes hand in hand with tonight's topic. Humble me, Lord, not for me but for those whose lives you use me to touch for the better. Humble me, Lord that when I dwell in the house of kings I may dwell with heavenly and earthly honor. When we have talent we must ensure we give all praises to the Creator for it. Our attitude and how we view others will be a reflection of our understanding that God blesses us with all talents. In life we must be sure to know there is a difference in the words confidence and conceit. When one has confidence in him or herself, it is a surety in God that he will continue to provide you with the talent that makes you anything but ordinary but conceit (self-deceit) is a surety that you have made yourself anything but ordinary. It's a thin line yall . I've crossed it a time or two myself. May God keep me focused not to again. We cling to our true source, our first love - God Almighty, our sole provider,...

I got confronted today by some feelings that I had been harboring for some while. I am just now learning to live with my plans for myself and my kids not working to my best advantage. I laugh when I hear Jordan say he will be the next hot Disney star. I had the same thoughts. I knew I was destined to be an actoress. Maybe more summers in Cali with my family and who knows. I hope his dreams for himself all blossom into reality. He is a great kid and deserves it. The confrontation came with me realizing that I kept myself, still keeping myself from a lot of great STUFF. Riding to J'ville I have been listening to Indie Arie and I cry everytime. It wasn't until the other day , a person I had not forgiven came into my presence. Now I realize why Indie Arie's song "The Heart of the Matter" has an effect on me. Not only had I not forgiven people in my life.... I had not forgiven myself. So in the words of Indie "The more I know, the less I undertsand. All the thing...

This morning I rose from my bed after laughing myself to sleep from watching "King of the Hill". I don't know but although I was tired I woke with such a wonderful joy. This joy is the kind one is use to sharing with a child during reading or playing; maybe even acting silly, singing. I felt as if I had been awaken and the father gave me the world in my hand. Today I felt as if my superfriend had given me back my superpowers. I felt I could conquer the world. Guess what, I did!! I experienced joy all day long and now I await to watch "King of the Hill" again tonight.Laugh myself to sleep and awake with that same joy again tomorrow. Who know maybe even more. So in the morning when you rise or better yet tonight before you sleep, purpose to endure tomorrow with the joy of living. After all, you are in control of that!

Today is a new day. One must take a step back and look at oneself. There is no way to know what you are capable of accomplishing if you do not try. We often hear people say "if life gives you lemons, make lemonade". I think you have to ensure you have your own cups of sugar. We all are given our very own recipe for lemonade, we have to dig in our spirit and bring it into existence. When life gives you lemon, check out your recipe from God before you proceed to make lemonade. Then add your sugar and pull in all the sweet rewards of being an entrepreneur . You will accomplish goals you forgot you once desired. Taste nature at its best. God's plan for you being fulfilled. Ummmm , ummm good!

The beauty of waking to see another day is you getting a chance to change what you will. Today's beauty allows me to open my mind and heart to possibilities that I counted out. Maybe today I will walk into the man of my dreams. Maybe that man isn't the artist Common. LOL . Maybe I can see couples walking again and smile with pleasure not smile to keep from crying. I want to be loved by the man I will be with til God calls us home. Can't express how much I long for this love. I think I'm always enough to be a friend or fling but never good enough to be the real thing. So use to settling in old age, I forgot how I was the pick of the prime back in the day. Today's beauty has helped me realize somewhere for some reason, I became desperate for love and settled. Getting it from all the wrong people. Grabbing it from all the wrong places. My life's matters are the same as so many. Gotta keep my head up and pray for the best to happen for myself.
