All the things HE has done...

Just finished reading about the art of distruction in forgetfulness. The book said "forgetting is no small thing". Many of us overlook the seriousness of forgetting something. Forgetfulness can keep you from vital information, emotional health & appreciation. As a tool for me to fight forgetfulness, I will be purposeful in remembering. I am starting by writing down the things God has done for me daily. This will jog my memory & focus me on seeing just how loving and merciful God is. So when something sad or annoying happens, I can reflect and remember all the good he has done! Feel free to join me!!

Love you much :-)

Let it grieve!

Much to much do we hinder ourselves from properly grieving. Much to much do we fight back and choke on our tears. We think its not okay to be sad, to mourn, to fully feel our hurt. Well, guess what? Grieving is the best thing you can do for your emotional health. Now keep in mind there is a time limit, there is a time for sadness and a time for happiness. Life is all about balance.
I find myself crying at movies, love songs, friends stories and sometimes nothing at all. What I am realizing is my grief is looking for any chance to release itself. Not allowing yourself to experience emotions and ride it out fully prohibits you from truly moving on. Just this past fathers day, I realized I never truly mourned my father's death...8 years ago! I mean geez I went to school the very next day. Yeah, I am a super strong young woman who has overcome the world. But truly being successful in life means I've handled old business and moved on to higher heights.
As I looked back over the years I saw the residue of hurt and sadness manifest itself. I've always been a realist and I've just taken lives woes and gotten pass them. But as I grow, I see the need in feeling emotions and experiencing them fully, only then can I truly move on.
With all that said, I hope you too can see the need and internal desire your heart has to feel and not be constricted or rushed, or even ignored. Forget what society says, forget the pressure you may feel to be a man or woman of steel and allow yourself to be free and truly whole !!
:-)Love you!!

Pieces of Me

Listening to lil Wayne's song "how to love" really made me think of young women now a days. It's crazy that even a man who tends to disrespect women on a regular basis can see their pain. So many of us are walking around damaged and abused. Much of it unfortunately is self afflicted. As young women especially of this generation we give a man our all and we get nothing in return. It is apparent, a women's vag is directly connected to her heart...good luck getting one without the other...
So many women walking around with pieces missing, looking for someone to repair whats broken. Then only after pain and continuous misfortune do they find that no man can fix them. Only God can repair whats been done. Thats why some women cheat, divorce and are overall unhappy..they are broken, because someone took a piece of them, time after time again. If this pertains to you....no one can ever fully complete you. You must submit to God and identify the issue and work hard at fixing it, there is hope and its your freedom to have. Those pieces of you can be restored and made whole. Just try Him :-)
