moving from our past.

We all make mistakes in our life. The hardest part is accepting blame, and realizing the faults that we’ve made. Some of those mistakes may have caused hurt or pain to another person. Some were intentional, and others we had no idea we were doing. For me, it could be the characteristics of who I am. There is never an intentional thought or action in my bone that could make me become toxic to another persons health, happiness, or well being. And yet, I am a work in progress of trying to notice features within my character that could be harmful to another person’s personality. The biggest sign of spiritual faith and maturity is to forgive, and move forward to a future of new beginnings. To not constantly remind ourselves of what we’ve done wrong to someone or what someone may have done wrong to you. People may try to make sure you remember your faults, or feel the need to make you feel bad of how they may felt about something you had no idea of doing. Or what you’ve done by mistake. Can we forgive? Or do we need to constantly expect apologies and make someone feel bad? I think it’s best to move forward, find a place in your life of where that person fits, or a reasoning to move on in your life without the person. God speaks to my soul when he wants me to act, and if I don’t follow I will never make it pass that change or transition.

Readers tell me what you think? If you ever hurt someone’s feelings, or caused a mist of stress in someone’s life, should they constantly make you feel bad? And if that person chooses to shake their finger at you, should you just accept what you’ve done, and move out of their life so that you won’t cause them anymore pain? I’ve decided to not be present in certain people’s life, if I cause them harm by being who I am. I work on me to better myself, and bring happiness into others life, but I will not alter who I am, to compliment another person’s personality. I am an individual, who possess a trait that was designed by God for me. A quality in me, may be a yoke for someone else, but yet a strong point for individuality. I rather people to be happy, and healthy, even if it considers me being out of their life. Tell me what do you think?

Isaiah 43:18 remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

I can't wait

I can't wait to get to the peak of my life when people do something that offends me go over my head and I don't think twice about it. Or when someone says something that I may take offensive doesn't offend me. Many times people are mean, offensive, competing, and or jealous of you and they may not even know that they are. You want to say something, fight, or give them an action or word to show them that you are not inferior to them, and yet they don't understand, and become more offensive toward you for they love the battle itself. I want to not recognize, see, or even feel it. I want a fly above it. I want to be set free from the negativity. It's sad when you want to do the great things in life, but are afraid to do it with some people, because you can't trust them. I want to love everybody. No matter how stink their attitude is, or how internally their rooting to be better than me. I want to be Thankful for past friendships and relationships, of the people that have chosen to walk away from me. For it's ok. They did what was best for them, which God knew what they would do, and have used it for divine purpose in my future. I’m not offended anymore, I’m able. As Joel mention Sunday, a message I fail to receive by not being there physically but was meant for me. Is to not fight. Keep moving, look back and smile, and keep your step as you move forward firm and the peace in your heart still. One day I will make it to that place of flying about it all, and only land for the times in which I can take with me in my heart, and look back upon and live those moments all over again in my heart. Life is amazing, and yet it can pass me by when I only choose to see the bad in it all.

A plaque on my mother’s front porch has hung for years. “Why worry when you can pray”.  I just reminded her of it the other day, and she looked up at me, and her eyes said Thank you. We do get tired of the mental fight, and when we win one, there’s another one seconds away and sometimes it’s a rematch. Keep going, for I can’t wait until I’m flying about it all.

" he got you "

Yet, I am at  another time in my life where I have found myself seeing and getting closer to the light at the end of the tunnel. Another revelation of how God is working through me and on my behalf. Yesterday was an amazing moment for me and I am sure for others who were inside the same church walls with me. We had a visitor at Lakewood named Nick Vujicic, he was the most admiring, uplifting, non-complaining person I have ever met in my life. I watch Mr. Vujicic deliver a message created in him by God, with a smile on his face, and not a complaint in his eyes or his tone. He spoke on how people would ask their own selves why would God create a person to have no arms or legs, and he assured us that it wasn't God that intended on him to be born that way, but there is much that Satan has done. God will use the effects of evil has and use it for his Glory. Mr. Vujicic was magnificent to listen too. It was emotional for me, as he spoke. He answered many of my prayers from the past of what I thought God ignored or did not answer. God has his own plans for my life, and until I get on his time line, I will forever want those things that are not intended for me. My break through was knowing "he got me". As happy as I am with life, there are moments sometimes my mind tries to force me to worry or be stress. I was asked at church yesterday as into why I let my mind do that, and I couldn't answer. But I now have the assurance that God has me in the palm of his hands. I also learn that every difficulty situation I have encountered or been through has not been lessons sent from God intentionally to make me suffer. But it has been a learning experience to trust in him, and know that he is in control. What a grand thought of just knowing that, "The Greatest Miracle of Life is Knowing Your Name is in The Book of Life - Nick". We will always have questions, and we may at times fail God, but he will never fail you. I have such a spirit that allows me to be so keen and happy for those in whom I see the spirit of the Lord in. I strive to one day be a person of such that kind of Grace.

how do we forget

Whoo! Ok, its been a journey, and not sure if my journey is over, but I was reflected back on the events of my life that changed me for the good, and the test that followed and that broke me, and brought me back to the past in which I tried so much to forget and not go back too. My heart is heavy, my love is lost, and my determination is strong. How did I forget all that I have learned and retreat back into being the person in whom is stressed, unrelaxed, and carry so much heaviness? I forgot his promises, his lessons, and the love in which he has for me. As I pray to this page and whomever who reads it, Dear God, place the peace that has drained from me back into my heart. Let me love again without first blaming, or resenting. Let me not be striking by those who want to see me fail, let me not hate those of past hurts, let me forgive, and not take everything so personal. When the time comes of a persons actions seems mean, or attacking to me, let me forgive at once, move on, pray for them, and become better. As thier actions is a lesson that reflects an image of me, on how I handle a situation, but to not bring no stress onto my heart. (amen). A friend help me today, to not notice those things of hurt or pain, to not expect everyone to be kind but hope to be kind to them, and live for the moments that brings smiles. Today I claim, a reflection of where I been, where I came from, and where I am going. Who I am! which is who I love, and who I intend on never losing, despite the challenges. Happiness and reflection found me today, and I intend on loving all of those that keep me in their hearts, for those that find thoughts of me failing, I also pray for you to one day reach the echelon of where I am, and where I'm going. For we all need at times to reflect on who we are, and what we have been to people. I am grateful for what I've been through. I am grateful for all that GOD is doing in my life at this very moment. He has taken a jar filled with my life, shaken it up, release somethings, taken a piece or two out, shaken it up again, and now the contents inside are starting to settle. and for that I'm grateful... once again my story continues

Dedicated to Nate.

forgive

        I have learned to forgive, not only to just forgive but what comes from being able to do so. There’s a gift, a magical accomplishment, and a level of maturity grown in the midst of being able to forgive. Those who have wronged you, hurt you, or savagely took a good part of which you were, or on your way to become, has to be forgiven. You do not want that person or people holding your life in the palm of their hands. This is possible if you do this, if you hold on to the anger and resentment. It will only hinder you from a life of goodness, happiness, and deserving favor. For as it is said in the prayer, “forgive us for our debts”. Let go of the debt in which you feel people owe you, rather if it’s an apology or an act of forgiveness, for they don’t owe you anything, it is all dependent on God to heal u, and release you from that place of antipathy. To try and hold on to that memory of hurt, or remember to have anger toward those who deliberately act in a manner or say things in which they get gratification in making you suffer, hurt your feelings, or to be rude, have outside unpleasantries in their own life. They are blind in the actions of what they do, and say to others. You have to first be grateful you are not them, let alone be going through what they are passing in. You are on sacred ground, where mercy endures over you, as they are passed on by wicked forces and actions that persuade them. You being angered toward them, do not affect them, but ignites them…

BUT!

To be able to pray for people, who wrong you, helps that person to look pass the wrath in which they may have toward you, and on to a level of looking in the mirror that reflects the immorality within them, and then they journey of redemption and forgiveness begins.

     What a wonderful weekend! God is truly amazing. Time spent with family celebrating my big sisters birthday with the children running through mom’s yard, and the men watch football, while the women laughed, danced, and danced some more on the front porch. The breeze blowing, and whistling through the trees, whiles the last of the leaves of autumn flow to the ground without a sound or interruption in the changing of seasons. As I watch my family laugh, tell funny jokes, tease each other, and reminisce about the times when we were children, is like meditation of calmness to my soul.

the only time that MATTERS is the time spent with 'Family'

Spending time with family is the most precious and unforgettable moments a person will ever encounter. yes at times those moments may be confrontational, argumentative, or even judgmental. But in all the facts in my case my family dearly loves me as I love them. At a time when I was young and wanted to be considered grown, I ventured out on my own clinging to those things I found to be more open to my choices, my way, and anything different than what family said or wanted done in my life. But as I've gotten older, wiser, and smarter and reflect back on those times in my life that has been more important, and had a greater impact on the person I have establish in myself today, has been from the lessons, the talks, the punishments, the "no's", the you're not ready", and the basic " it's not your time" was for a purpose, an eventful timeline of growing and becoming a woman of God, a woman of my mother's blood line, an adult of my father's past, and a link of womanhood from my sister was all in the emotions of my life with my family.

As I'm now older, my family means more to me than I can express verbally or show emotionally. I love my family, my mother's strong will and need for going the distance for herself and her children has been an inspiration of my life. I still need my mom, I cannot imagine my life without her voice, her smile, her ANGER, or her support, her love, and most of all her touch of where I'm going, where I came from, and where I am. My sister's persistent presence in my life as my best friend, my support, and most of all I admire her courage in standing in my life as my father would have after he went to be with God and help the angels watch over us. My daughter's unending love, need, and encouraging spirit that enable me to make a living for her, and her love for life within me. My nieces and brother in law’s support, laughter, love, and encouragement that has brought me along way.

This weekend was by far a special one, why because it was spent with family. Saturday me and Mekenzie tried some new recipes and also finally carved us a pumpkin, and named it Charlie. So much fun, and yet so messy and sticky. Mekenzie enjoyed it!

Mekenzie cleaning out the pumpkin

We finally finished after sooo much gooey stuff!..lol!

VOILA!

My princess and Charlie!

and to follow such a blessed Day, Me and Mekenzie went to Church felt good knowing that we are able to uphold a book "the bible" that gives us the truth of living in the image of God. Following that day, me and my family enjoyed some Good Zydeco at our family church Our Mother of Mercy Bazaar, and got to see old friends, and family while enjoying some good ole 'gumbo' and "budain" and many, and I mean many, many laughs, and jokes, and again laughs!!!! Here are some pics from our wonderful sunday outting. Have A Great Week Bloggers!

We had an amazing time! Anytime spent with my family is all that I need in the rest of my days of my life. I endure and anticipate time with my family as much as I do with friends and dating these days....lol.. Family is where love lies, and is concreted.

The Love I have for "Good People" Authentically Made

      It’s not often in life that you come across good genuine people. A person or many, who has come into your life and unexpectedly awaken you to what is consider to be an authentic friendship. Someone who wants to see you succeed no matter how long you’ve been in their lives, rather if it’s been a year or an hour in meeting, a person who is constantly in battle with you and not against you. Helping you to see your mistakes before they are made, and challenging you to keep going for the battle is not yours it’s the Lords. I have those people in my life. One of my friends just told me not too long ago “Stacey I’m not against you, I’m on your side”. I instantly started to cry, and realize the battle I not only had secretly with people in my life but has also been with myself. Enduring so many personalities, I found a remedy of expressing myself and thoughts for another person to someone else, and with their faults and our character’s crashing, I continued them in my life, which was unhealthy, not a resolution, but poison, for more damage to come. Not realizing that everyone is not good for every person. Someone that is seemingly good to another person, does not mean that they are good for you. So when I met the wonderful friends I have come in contact with, in this year alone, I was confused, and I didn’t understand, but their presence was all in comfort, motivation, and constant compliments. I have damaged relationships in my past due to previous situations and mishandled words of the tongue. I have underestimated the good people that have come into my life, and that I have dismissed out of my life. A good person, will never intentionally hurt you or want to see you fail, as my friends tell me now, and even men tha I date, somehow always finds the need to uplift me, help me to realize that they do genuinely love and have care for me. Just with friends I was able to spend time with this weekend, it was constant compliments, smiles, laughter, hugs, and most of all much love. It was  just the company of Good People who doesn’t even live in the same city with me, showing concern for my life even my meenie me, who experienced a severe strep throat this weekend.  And the Time with my family who loves me, more than at times I love myself.

God has chosen and has specifically place every person in my life for a certain reason, place, time, or event. I have learned to understand the good from the poison. The love from the hurt, and the motivation from wanting me to fail. I’ve learned to be patient, to not expect everyone to handle a situation as I would, to understand that I am only me, and there is no need to think another person will think or do things as I would. A good person who maybe different from me will know and understand that we will come together as a unit, become a partnership, a team, a ally, in better words a good friend. Rather if it’s my family, a friend, or my husband, I now know to recognize a good person when they come into my life. I have also learned to be a good person, for I have always strived to be, but have fail short many times.

May God Bless if you are one those in whom I dedicate this writing too.

His Touch

riding in the car with that “person” in whom you had butterflies before seeing, reaches over and touches your thigh lightly and you feel a rush of your blood leave the spot of where his hand is, and goes to your feet. You then hurry and turn your face in a different direction, clinch your fist, close your eyes for a moment and take a deep breath, and later you don’t even remember exhaling. This seems much... I know, especially in front of him. But it happens so fast, he doesn’t even notice. He continues to hold the steering wheel with his left hand, leaning on the console in the middle of you two with his left arm, while massaging and grasping your left thigh with his right hand as he wonders if we're going in the right direction. Those are the essential moments, that ends up being our favorite ones, and the beginning in which we start to fall in love.

As his hand reaches your inner back while you are walking in front of him, your spine immediately tingles, as you get an intense feeling of being proud he’s attempting to touch you in public, giving his immediate language to all the other men around she’s with me, at that moment he’s falling love.

In our most intense intimate moments is when the simplest touches intrigues a woman and ignite her feelings for the person in which she is in contact with. His hands grasping the back of your neck as he draws you closer to him, the small amount of sweat in the palm of his hands mixing in the lust of yours, the aggressive embrace of both of his arms clutching around your waist as his hands join together in the sink of your back. The simplest kiss on the bridge of where your eyebrows part, is the touch that exuberates the love in which you have found in yourself for him, and in him.

Sometimes its not about the car he drives, or the job he has. But is about those moments in which he can take you out of yourself and walk with your soul as he pleases you in every step he makes, just by the contact of his hand, the press of his lips, and what he’s thinking while he just stares at you for no reason… You know those moments. When you catch him staring at you, as you play in your hair, or when you find something hysterically funny, or when you and he are just watching a late night movie and he is suddenly staring at you while smiling and you ask him “what”! And he says “nothing”, and turns his head, while thinking he is indeed lucky.

who is to be is not to be, what the hell is the question...

Clubs are usually a place to go and have a great time with friends or family, an atmosphere where most people go to celebrate an event of some kind or better yet to get away from a problem or take their mind off of a situation. As I attended one of these places last night with great people I notice many other people of different levels of looks, taste, ages, heights, and demeanor.  It’s rare to hear people speak of how often many individuals choose to hide the reality of their life, but choose places like clubs, and internet networks to paint a picture, hide, or create a place in which they want to be, or who the wish they were. I tend not to place judgment on such people anymore, only because I’m able to understand my blessing of seeing myself in which Gods sees me, as they are not.

 I look in the mirror, as I in make up or not, and take pride in myself, who I am and what I have accomplish. Many times I may steer my thoughts wrong due to the judgment others place on me from what I have or don’t have, so at times when I am blessed among my expectations I tend to hide it from those in whom I know don’t have my best interest at heart, or I tend to block certain visuals of my possessions so others won’t demonstrate hate for me or what I have, and at times people do this and not even know they are doing so. These are usually the people who brag or lie about having something that in which they don’t, or embellish on what they actually have, or actually have it, and chooses to wallow on it, so that they may feel they are better than you. This happens to me more often than I can remember at times, and I say to myself, why do people lie so much to me. I have even down-shined myself or given myself short in order to not make anyone act differently toward me. What do I have that encourages a thought of anyone, rather it being a stranger or a friend, to lie to me about anything in their life. Not about something they did to me, or something they may have said, but of which something they have. In clearer terms the materialistic items in which they uphold or how they may have obtained it.

            Why do people lie? Is that the only self indulgence one may find to endure happiness in front of others? Sometimes it makes people feel good to know that they are better than someone else. What produces a thought as this, I could not explain or understand, but its true. Don’t get me wrong I can relate many of times I have lied about something or to someone. But I have never been ashamed of who I was, and what I look like, or what I don’t have. (Accept when I went through my acne phase)…J

 In my mind there have been times when I felt as though I wanted more, or I didn’t drive a certain car, or lived in a certain area or place. But even at a young age, I realize that when you embrace who you are, and look at the greatness of each little thing you have …self, personality, character, creativity, and motivation. A person will build a moral fiber that will oversee everything within, that makes all the things you see small look as beautiful on the outside and be visualize by others as a walking blessing. No matter what I have, or don’t, who I am as a person outshines all the rest, and that’s one thing I can brag on. Having a spirit of laughter,  the indulgence to make anyone smile, the love of bearing friends and meeting new people, is a character I have that outshines having a fancy car, a six bedroom home, a fake marriage, fake friends, or even a perfect job. Being A Great Person is a person who has it all!

My Joy in the Morning

Surpassing through life’s unexpected interruptions, you will eventually find yourself looking back in your rear view mirror pressing forward from a storm you not only survive but you embraced, learned from, and gain another self claim characteristic about yourself.  There are many stop signs through life, and once you do a complete stop you’ll give it gas and there will be another one around the corner. But guess what Joy cometh in the morning. A wonderful evening I have had, spending an hour with Mekenzie’s on her homework, not interruptions, just pure learning. I found a very enticing recipe online for Bacon-Roasted Chicken with Potatoes. OMG people, absolutely amazing! First time trying it and it was indeed a success. I learn something new all in one night, after cooking a great meal for me and my Mekenzie.

I finish my well written outline on the Okapi Wildlife Reserve, very informative information, a beautiful rainforest trying to survive from the outskirts of hunters, and political views of why they should be saved or not. We go through life complaining about our problems, dealing with finances, and relationships, when there is so much hurt in the world in other countries that we couldn’t even think of, or attempt to experience. There’s a piece of me that wants to embrace every part of the world and give a smile to someone or something. For those people who only think of themselves, look at your fingers, listen to the voices around you, and embrace the color of your skin, and take a moment and see that all is given, and all is done.  The Lord Our God has just begun.

I just wanted to share one of the many blessed evening of my life with you. I made a new dish, and I'm so proud of myself! ha..ha... This is only the beginning of my growth, I plan to see and do much more in the coming days. Those who are genuine and love me so, will embrace my blessing as if they are they're own. Good Night Readers, and until next time, pass a smile rather if its verbal or "escrito"..that's the word "writing" in spanish... Yay Rosetta Stone!

life's love

What a wonderful weekend! Saturday morning cut my mother’s entire lawn, Mekenzie and I ate some very delicious Hooter Wings! Sunday enjoyed a peaceful morning of pray and rededication, and afterwards me and Mekenzie cleaned the truck, and helped a good friend of mine unpack in her new home.

Joy cometh to those who grasp it with their fingers un-clutched and expecting only the good things the world still offers naturally.

The sun warmth on your skin, The laughter of your child from being sprinkle with the water splashing from the car wash, the beauty of the grass when the wind blows, the smell of the flowers as they bloom, and the sound of the bees and waltz’s journeying on the lawn.

The life love, are the essential moments most of us take for granted. The most heartfelt things in life are those that don’t cost you a tear, or an effort. This is also the endeavor in which you keep stable and focused on God. When in fact you can’t fail at life, or cheat time.

I am keen on the sky when driving home from work, the footsteps of the clouds reminds me of the beauty tomorrow holds from the lessons I learned today.

Remember each day is accountable for itself, so don’t blame tomorrow for its faults.

being in love

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all...  

Through the lives of many young and older women today, love is not found, nor understood, or given. The eyes of a woman should be to fulfill her soul with the existence of a man, who is able to understand her needs before they are express, to completes her sentences, mends her heart, take care to her needs, compliments her efforts within herself to be beautiful for him. And yet, women today are side blinded by an image, career, and financial statement of a man completing her rather than to wait on the person who was made to define her.

God has created a significant being, one who upholds qualities that are meant to suffice, encourage, love, and adore another. Someone once told me, many women today will not experience the love that was meant for her. To define love or either find it, you must endure the characteristics that make up for it. Which is to be patient for it, for it will find you, to be kind to those that may try to love you. Don’t be envious of those that have it before you, nor boastful or arrogant if you find it before another. Don’t tend to have your own way with those that are intrigued by you, nor irritable to those that express their love more than you may have for them. Don’t rejoice when doing wrong onto someone, only rejoice in honesty. When the person God intentionally designed for you make a mistake, please forgive them. Hope for all good bringing's, and endure the possibilities of great memories.

As a woman I am created to be strong minded, I am to love hard, take care of home and bear children. I am supportive, I endure all, I love all, and I want for nothing by the ingredients in my life God provides. The Man that possess a hold onto me, will not even feel he deserves me, but in the eyes of God, he was created for me.

¹If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. ²If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. ³If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. (1 Corinthians 13)

un-noticed enemies

Even when you are in a good place, there are times when a person or situation will try to bring you down. Bring you to a place of where they are, and try to haunt, and torment you, to the fullest of their strength, or activate a self gratification of their own, by seeing you act in anger to their punches. Its more than that to life... actually that isn't living at all. Life is being able to look pass those negative mind sets of others and sometimes our own selves. Yes I too get angry at times, but I have chosen to choose my battles, and to fight them fairly. To be in contact of my character I learn everyday that I am not where I want to be just yet. But I can conceitedly say that I’m on the right path, I am always looking for ways to change, not just to claim I'm a better person, but to be at peace and happy with myself. Knowing that each choice I have made, and every word that I speak is on a good conscious and not a negative one.

When we learn to control ourselves and our tongues, those things around us will not affect us, nor be notice. Weapons of envy and hurt will not be notice by you, nor affect you. Sometimes it’s so close in your face you have no choice but to notice it, but you will remain calm about it, maybe hurt or discourage, but it will never break you, for you are grateful that it isn't you.

Other than that, my weekend was wonderful, I had a ball  for one of my friends Birthday in Port Arthur Texas, Great Place! A magnificent time with friends, the road, great talks and food. My sunday I spent enjoying with the love of my life Mekenzie, and some good football, Go Steelers and Texans!!! Until next time readers, make the best of any bad situation for those are the ones that prepare us for the next blessing.

 

remember to always enjoy life, because it will always enjoy you.

A Good Place

Loving life no matter what or whose not there

But smiling everyday as I don't have a care.

Keeping up with the Joneses is not where I seek

But following the Lord who is perparing it all for me.

As I stand with my feet planted through high waters

I know my sunset is above and beyond all the corners.

My sister got teary eyed today as she notice a glow in me

I felt pride and honored for her to say she's proud and love what she sees in me.

I don't wonder where I'm going or where I need to be

For I have found a great place, at a nice pace, and a foundation of peace.

God has guided me and my daughter on our righteous path

We want for nothing or in need of anything that may cause a dash.

I'm at peace, and love everything that I see around me

For there's nothing like holding the prize that has given me the key.

Look and tell me what you see when you look upon my face

You will see and accept Stacey is in a good place'

 

The Good Life

Life is amazing, great actually. Once we learn to get up in the morning and take each day as it is. A Blessing! Don’t worry about yesterday when that person offended you, or when you were cut off in traffic, when you realize you are being treated unfair at work, or when you know how good of a friend, girlfriend, husband, wife, sister or brother you have been and yet you never hear that you are appreciated or a Thank you. Life is still good. Why you ask? Because you had the ability, the self motivation or even yet that peace and happiness in you that allowed you to smile everyday and be kind to someone. Be grateful that you are not that person who seems to always have something going on wrong in their life, or always complaining about something, rather if it’s a pain in their leg, or they didn’t get to sleep last night, or they accidentally bump their toe this morning. Be happy to not be that person.

Despite all that I feel that can come against me, I am always happy, I can always find something to be happy about, or make a joke out of something to make someone smile. I love to make anyone smile or laugh, its’ a dose of peace and happiness for me. I could have gotten a ticket yesterday morning, and yet I received a warning and made a cop smile because of my fault-ness in car maintenance. I poured and entire tube of syrup on my slacks morning before last, and yet I made myself laugh about it the entire time as I cleaned my pants leg in the jobs bathroom. Our days are what we make out of it, if we bring disappointments from yesterday into today we’ll miss out on those happy moments of now. I love my life. I love not knowing what’s next or what’s to come. I have a peace in me that exceed all disappointments, setbacks, and discouragements, for I know everything is going to just fine. The next time you run into a disappointment, or someone offends you, your finances are not where you want them to be, or something just goes wrong all of sudden, remember that God is in control.
Know everything is going to be ok.. Repeat this to yourself “everything is going to be fine” meditate it, but remember to actually believe it. God loves you, he doesn’t want to see you cry for it makes him upset that you don’t trust in him to believe he is and will make everything “just fine”.

he's there always wanting to take care of you
