Figuring Me Out

Figuring Me Out

Sometimes, as women we get lost in our relationships... lost in all the roles we assume on a daily basis. I know I've posted a couple of times recently about who I am and perhaps you all are getting tired of reading about my process of figuring me out, but ...

Potty Training? Um, No.

Potty Training? Um, No.

Zoe has developed a nasty little habit. She will "boo boo" and then decide immediately that she wants nothing to do with her diaper. So she takes it off. Imagine a 20 month old professional climber making her way up the side of my executive desk with a huge grin ...

There Snow Place Like Home

There Snow Place Like Home

Yesterday morning, it started snowing... well flurry-ing... In Louisiana, that's a major deal. We can just about run around in shorts all winter. It gets cold for about 10 minutes and then it's summer all of a sudden. There's no fall and no spring. LOL Here is a photo of ...

My Girls :)

When the kids miss the bus, I often use our time stuck in the car line to snap a few shots of them before school. Here are a few of Avalyn, Talia, and Briyana from a few days ago:

Fibromyalgia, Tumors, and Me

Fibromyalgia, Tumors, and Me

I've had a surprising amount of dialog lately about Fibromyalgia. I have to say it's refreshing to have so many people know what it is... and relate to me. Being diagnosed 18 years ago, I grew up accepting that I had a disorder that no one understood - that many ...

Jealousy and Dreams {Life}

Jealousy and Dreams {Life}

I can't honestly say I don't get knots in my stomach when I listen to some of the newest music artists. Having a singing career has always been my dream, but as life would have it - I've had no real opportunities to pursue it... I sometimes am jealous that ...

The Me That I Am

The Me That I Am

With life as busy as it is, I admit there normally aren't many chances throughout the weeks to stop and seriously consider who I am... or what I am doing. I'm one of those people who - no matter how much I try to plan and schedule - typically ends ...

Kids these days are at such a disadvantage. Children have no sense of respect for themselves or for other people. It’s sad because kids are not programmed that way- they are born innocent and starving for emotional attachment and parental approval… what happens is parents now don’t take the time with their kids like they used to! It’s laziness and lack of parenting these days that causes children to behave in that way. Parents don’t take the time to instill positivity in their children and they don’t explain to children how they are suppose to act and WHY certain things are unacceptable.

Sheesh folks, raise your kids man come on! Kids cannot raise themselves; the Lord blessed our lives with them so that we can bring them up in His Word. The world has gotten so fixated on what is acceptable in society that we have lost track of what is acceptable spiritually. What is important now is MONEY. What makes you important now is STATUS, and SUCCESS. And what defines success is MONEY, the root of all that is evil. I am not saying there is anything wrong with having money; I am not saying that there is anything wrong with enjoying your status. It is when you begin to undermine the Lord’s authority and take the praise for your status in life that you go wrong.

The Lord places blessings in your life in order to provide you with a means to pass His blessings on to other people. It goes the same way for the Devil. Follow me here. If you do not live in the Lord, then you live outside the Lord. What I mean by this is that if you fall outside his jurisdiction, just like the laws of the land, he cannot protect you. People wonder why those who are not righteous and those who are unholy are successful. The answer is simple. Just as the Lord will place you in a position to extend His kingdom, Satan will use your weaknesses against you to place you in a position to further his cause as well.

You may see it as doing well in life, you may appreciate the staus, and the power, and the money, but in the end you have gained NOTHING spiritually and you have lost your dignity, your respect, your religion, and most importantly your SOUL in the process. Every decision you make is a fork in the road and the outcome will lead you to a different place on your life’s map. What makes or breaks a person now is realizing that the serpent is everywhere and is working nonstop to steal the Lord’s glory. But God is omnipotent, and all He needs is for your heart to be open to Him, and you best believe He will open doors for you that you never thought possible. God Bless.
