"All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them." -Walt Disney We are in total control of our destiny. What you do with opportunities and how you react could be the thing that defines you. Your life is a unique book with intense chapters that tell an amazing story! I've learned that being still and silent is sometimes the best thing you can do. When we chose to "speak our mind" or not be silent, we hurt those around us almost always. Consistency can sometimes be hard when you are trying to change who you naturally are! It's normal to change and sometimes you change differently from those around you and that's ok! It's not easy to be courageous because you don't always know your outcome. Fight and dig deep to find the courage to be happy and follow your dreams, in the end it's always worth it. Only you know where you want to be and what you want your life to say of you. Be confident to share your dreams with those around...

I hate that I've been so busy to post!! We are going into week 3 of K4 & I'm just now writing about it! Since school started Corban fractured his tibia which has sent me on a wild roller coaster! I so far have managed him loving the "boot" by telling him it gave him super powers.... I hear him ever now & them pointing to Logan saying " activate freeze power... Activate spidy web" Whatever works right?!? He is loving K4 & doing wonderful, I can't wait to start volunteering & spending time at the school. See you soon with more updates about my busy family!

"If you are a parent, recognize that it is the most important calling and rewarding challenge you have. What you do every day, what you say and how you act, will do more to shape the future of America than any other factor." -Marion Wright Edelman Wow, what a powerful & true quote. Be kind. Be understanding. Be compassionate. Be soft. Be patient. Be wise. Trust me when I say I'm preaching to myself!! It's so easy to say "Seriously? Are you kidding me? You didn't really just do that! One more time and you're getting a spanking." Next time before you react to something your child has done or is doing, remember they're a child and they are still learning. Remember that how you treat them is how they are going to learn to treat others. Wow, that in itself is a huge responsibility. Remind them what they should've done and remind them of whatever consequence you have decided appropriate. A Mother's job is never finished and we wear ma...

"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, ‘til it seems you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.” ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe It is our human instinct to fight when something we love is being threatened. Something we want is out of reach, or we come to a crossroads and we love what lies ahead on both. There comes a time when we have to close a chapter and start writing a new one. The important thing we often forget is to keep the chapter closed. You can't reopen the past it almost always explodes in your face! This quote is wise and wonderful but the Bible says something just as powerful "After you've done all you can just stand." "Hold on don't ever let go, though the hills are hard to climb, looking for peace of mind." "Be still and know that I am God" "Cast all your cares upon Jesus" I could go on and on! We all know th...

I am willing to be opened up and broken like a flower in the rain! Each day may bring a new trail... What is it they say "New level, New devil"! Trust me I've had my share & probably been through more things than you can imagine, but it's what you do with those experiences & how you channel that energy that will make you who you are. God called me a long time ago to serve in ministry & now almost 10 years later I can remember the feeling I had when I received it b/c minutes later the exact word was confirmed through a minister. Sometimes the road gets rough but I know that as long as I've got Jesus I don't need anybody else. I'm totally sold out to his kingdom & though I have children, Im going to keep truckin' I know it makes it more tedious & requires me to manage my time differently, but just like any working mom, I don't have to stay on "leave" for 18 yrs. Its time & I'm ready now to be an example to my ...

It's easy to be weak but it's hard to be strong! What do you want your life to say about you? "The wise woman builds not only for herself but for those who follow along behind her." -Joy Haney You have to confidently know that God will fulfill every promise he has every made to you & trust that it will happen in his timing. It's when we get impatient and want it our way that we become weak and fall short. God has called each of us to be a servant in his kingdom and sometimes we get caught up and forget its not about me or you! Its always about the kingdom, you can't serve people and bring them to the kingdom without being a people person or without being about His business! If the world can't see Jesus in you and through you why would they want it? Sometimes by being still and silent you are standing tall & speaking loud! It is ignorant and careless to share every thought and opinion that we have. Think before you speak, blog, tweet or text!!...

So, while I was giving Corban a bath he told me that he wasn't scared of Jesus anymore & I was of course blown away that he would ever be scared in the first place, but reassured him that Jesus loved him very much. He says "great I love him too"! I could see that his little mind was running a million miles a minute... He has been with Shoutin' Shannon Peacock all day so of course he was curious about all he's learned! As he was getting dressed, he told me that Jesus was on his tongue & he was going to give him the Holy Ghost tomorrow when he woke up! Now, even if tomorrow isn't Gods timing, I am so grateful that the process clicked in his little mind! It's so amazing to see a child understand Gods love! I am so thankful for passionate Children's Ministers & Workers that invest in my child's spiritual future.
