My children


My dear girls, the day you see I'm getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I'm going through. If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don't interrupt to say: "You said the same thing a minute ago"... Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story night after night until you would fall asleep.
When I don't want to take a bath, don't be mad and don't embarrass me. Remember when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to take a shower when you were just little girls?
When you see how ignorant I am when it comes to new technology, give me the time to learn and don't look at me that way ... remember, honey, I patiently taught you both how to do many things like eating appropriately, getting dressed, combing your hair and dealing with life's issues every day... the day you see I'm getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I'm going through.show kindness to not only me, everyone needs to recieve kindness,grace,and meecy
If I occasionally lose track of what we're talking about, give me the time to remember, and if I can't, don't be nervous, impatient or arrogant. Just know in your heart that the most important thing for me is to be with you.
And when my old, tired legs don't let me move as quickly as before, give me your hand the same way that I offered mine to you when you first walked. When those days come, don't feel sad... just be with me, and understand me while I get to the end of my life with love. I'll cherish and thank you for the gift of time and joy we shared. With a big smile and the huge love I've always had for you, I just want to say, I love you ... my darling daughters.

This is the place

Good morning, you know what I do when I have nothing more that I can do. I trust Him, I am unable to do anything else. I am personally overwhelmed,stressed, borderline panicking,  however God has always been faithful. Should have I done things differently?  well certainly, should I have always been grateful? Most definitely. Could I have made better ,stronger,healthier life changes?by all means necessary!  But now what? I'm in the place where I can't do anything except pray for mercy,grace,provision, abindancr,favor,anointing,home,and financial freedom this is the place that my brokenness meets the healer,my mistakes transforms into promise,my lack meets God Almighty and His provision,  this is that place where the mountain is moved and victory in Him prevails.this is the place where the hurt meets the healer, and only Our God can get the credit,  because left up to me or Mike we are in this situation,  only our Lord can make a message from this hot mess...lol I'm getting excited to see what He is going to do, this situation is a recipe for a miracle! I do know who is the miracle worker..amen amen amen

Priceless, 24 hours a day

Time is valuable priceless! The only thing that can take the value away from time?  every moment we waste.
 Delena Duffy
Each day that I have lived, the thing I regret most, is not understanding how valuable time really is. It is a gift that is never returned and never deserved. If I'd only understood how valuable time was ,I would have spent my days happier,I would have chose to seize every opportunity as a chance to have a better memory of that moment, and I could look back with no regrets. This may sound ideal it even sounds foreign to me as a think of it but how true it is in my heart it's hard to put into words seasons change every day is a chance to stay in that season or to grow with the new season how many times have I missed my chance that cannot be counted how many memories do I wish I had not made that cannot be recorded how many times should I have said I love you, or forgive me, or man I missed the mark, or if I had shown up and not made an excuse once again I can't count the times. I can't return the time I can't get it back I can't make my kids small again I can't make due on a promise that I I've broken or take it disappointment and make it okay the only Power I had today is to forgive myself and make each moment of today count. The question is how many chances many chances does someone get when all their memories don't line up yet with the ruler Revolutions of today and the mistakes of yesterday to move forward free of pain and regret, Counting each moment as a moment of value that is priceless while impossible to forget
We all have 24 hrs a day,non negotiable,with out prejudice,no matter if your male or female,child or parent, rich or poor, whole or broken,right or wrong, LIFE WILL KNOCK US down! again without prejudice.  SO ? What is so different about you than any other creative, uniquely designed human living on earth in the natural,
 in this realm???HOW can we see ourselves as unique and different, better,or worse than any other sister or brother in this moment in time??free is not earned nor deserved,
----time is a gift and the only difference is the theif that robs you of your gift this enemy is called procrastination,  now show up every single moment  even when you fall down, get back up, that single moment not stolen could be the one moment in time you will not ever forget! Or the neighbors moment they will not ever remember because they decided to wait till tomorrow ,  hmmmm every moment is a now moment because we are all connected.  Show up, get back up, and hold on to this gift as if it is your moment To help the rightouse one get back up....


You are a light amongst the dark, you are to be a lamp, no darkness has ever conquared light, and it is in that constant pull a warrior is born, gratitude is evedence of humility, and humility is the fuel for true strength....

keep walking



This is the narrow path, the rd less traveled and sometimes you feel alone, but dont be distracted,dontlook to the rt then left as if something is missing, On the contrary its unconfirtable to realize for the first time without all the extra bagage. the feelings of abandonment, addiction,self harming that was your best friend, and strong hold, your not walking alone, for the first time you are walking without the chains of isolation, without discouragement, without gossip, hate , or pain, you are for the first time Free to love being free no matter what you once feared this place.the place of contentment and peace.you are for the first time free to love being yourself and others are free to love thee...because you have never really been alone creation is in your DNA.  you are creation. sometimes we only realize it when we have no other distractions but we do have the courage to keep walking.

This is the narrow path, the rd less traveled and sometimes you feel alone, but dont be distracted,dontlook to the rt then left as if something is missing, On the contrary its unconfirtable to realize for the first time without all the extra bagage that was your best friend, and strong hold, your not walking alone, for the first time you are walking without the chains of isolation, without discouragement, without gossip, hate , or pain, you are for the first time Free to love being free no matter would any uthe pe
True family are those who love you in good times, and still love you in tough times.friends that do not judge you for outward circumstances but trully know how big of a blessing my life is greater because they have been apart of this walk we call life, who can fight on my behalf because they know that is exactly what I do for them. a friendship with no strings but many great memories, and when we are together the moments are with releif rather than worry and self gain. I choose to love above all else  no matter what it may look like

Remember Theresa Perren Author

This pretty much sums it up for this morning...He plainly tells us to get off our high horse...Quit judging others ...for the one that has no sin ..let them cast the first stone...Oh if we could only take this advice and live it according to God's Word..So much slander and blaming someone else for all the unhappiness and storms of life.  One of the things my Mama said over and over ...If you can not think of anything good, productive, encouraging, edifying, to say, then simply don't say anything!!! Man talk about controlling the most powerful little thing we own...THE TONGUE...Such a small thing that so many times gives life or destroys it....Oh Father in Heaven discipline my tongue at all times..Let it speak LIFE, ENCOURAGEMENT, AND PRAISE....if it does not have these things on the tip of it ...let it be still and not speak anything....In Jesus Name....from Galations 4 and 5...GOD'S WORDS.... It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don't use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that's how freedom grows. 14 For everything we know about God's Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That's an act of true freedom. 15 If you bite and ravage each other, watch out - in no time at all you will be annihilating each other, and where will your precious freedom be then? 16 My counsel is this: Live freely, animated and motivated by God's Spirit. Then you won't feed the compulsions of selfishness (Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day's out. 2 Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ's law. 3 If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived. 4 Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don't be impressed with yourself. Don't compare yourself with others. 5 Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life. 6 Be very sure now, you who have been trained to a self-sufficient maturity, that you enter into a generous common life with those who have trained you, sharing all the good things that you have and experience. 7 Don't be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What a person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants selfishness, ignoring the needs of others - ignoring God! - 8 harvests a crop of weeds. All he'll have to show for his life is weeds! But the one who plants in response to God, letting God's Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a crop of real life, eternal life. 9 So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up, or quit. 10 Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.
