A Few Thoughts...

I am new to this blogging world, but I'm trying to 'keep up with the Jones's', so to speak. I have so much to be thankful for and wanted to share my world with anyone interested in following. Mostly, I guess, this is for my family and friends, but I am interested in broadening my world to new friends.

With this Blog, I hope to, not only update where my kids and I are and what we are doing with our lives, but also, to begin sharing a little bit about my testimony. It's been quite a journey these past 7 yrs. but I've finally reached a place in my life where I can speak and share without bitterness, anger or un-forgiveness. Now I can share from a place of healing.

Matthew 26:7 says, "there came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat."
This is my 'alabaster box' or blog, if you will. It is my most treasured thoughts about the people, things and events that mean the most to me. I hope this little blogspot of mine will help somedays and inform on other days. I'm already enjoying this little journey...

'Tis the Season...It's YOUR Season!

'Tis the season...the Holidays are upon us! Every year about this time I get nostalgic.  I love the holidays!  Growing up it was so much fun!  Family, Food, Giving, Receiving....as a child, I was more excited about what I was getting.  As an adult, I look forward to giving so much more.  


I know it's been a tough year for so many, and the year isn't over yet.  I hope that despite the economy and the financial and physical struggles that so many have had to face, that somewhere within we can all find a little seed of hope from which to build.  I have an expectancy for GREAT things!  I'm believing for unprecedented miracles this season.  I'm pledging to STRETCH my FAITH this season and BELIEVE for favor!


After coming through the greatest storm of my life, I remember the loneliness of the holidays past.  I grieved through so many of them I've lost count.  Once I found myself again, and started building something new, I've come to realize that I wasted so much time and energy grieving for something that was not meant to be.  I was praying for something God was trying to release me from.  A 'tug of war', so to speak.  Once I let go, a freshness awaited me that I can't explain.  I had to let go of old traditions and start new ones.  I had to let go of the familiar and focus on a new path.  It's been a ReBirth!  An exciting time for me and my family.  Scary at times, but rewarding!  


I encourage you this season, to 'let go' of the past.  Maybe some of you are going through a separation, divorce, or maybe it's a first Holiday season without a loved one.  Whatever your lot,  pledge to let go of the way some things used to be and start some fresh and new traditions that will pave the way for the BRIGHT future that awaits!


'Tis the Season...It's YOUR Season!  Make it FRESH, make it HAPPY, make it YOURS!!!
