Seasons of Life

Charles Spurgeon once said: “It may be that there are saints who are always at their best, and are happy enough never to lose the light of their Father’s countenance. I am not sure that there are such persons…and I have not traversed that happy land. Every year of my life has had a winter as well as a summer, and every single day has its night…I confess that though the substance be in us, as in the tell-tree and the oak, yet we do lose our leaves, and the sap within us does not flow with equal vigor at all seasons.”

Speak Favor into Your Life

Remember, even if you don’t see how things could ever work out, God does. You’ve got to speak to those mountains in your life and declare favor over those situations. Instead of talking to God about how big your problems are, talk to your problems about how big your God is! As you speak to your mountains, they will be moved, and you will move forward into the victory God has prepared for you!

“It has been a year of trials, but God has always pulled us through with His mercy and grace. May we never take our eyes off Him and His love for us.”

had a dream about my ex last night ... it was so vivid and real. he had messaged me and then showed up at my door step. why i dreamed about his last night is beyond me .... but it makes me miss him a tad. i truly miss the friendship we had when things were amicable between us. i am pretty sure that i will never have the privilege or pleasure of being his friend again. we have both changed so much - i am not sure we have much in common anymore other than a history together. additionally, if his wife was smart - she would not allow her husband to be friends with his ex (with whom he shared many firsts) with all of that being said .... i send him love and light :o) i hope he is doing well and is happily married. and now i am going to drop it ......

Secret Admirer...

On Friday, a secret admirer anonymously sent me an email at work that stated the following below:

Subject: Just a Thought

With distant stares your eyes say it all

Captivated and captioned with beauty I begin to fall

Into a desireable obliss as we miss yet another chance to take things far.

As we speak again with eyes and pass by I envision you as my single shining star.

Wanting you to know your noticed each and everyday as we pass one another by

With wishfull thinking of the feeling to have you by side.

Walking to places yet unknown to man and the mind

With manifestation and illumination of us being stuck together in time

Wondering just what is on your mind and if you have a man on your other side

Could I be attempting to walk on already taken lands afraid yet intreagued if your loves like quicksand

From your hair to your nails to your frame

You got it all and I can tell from your name

Knowing I'm more then man enough to physically mentally and spiritually handle you

wanting to see what you'd look like walking just in some Jimmy Choos

But we may never know what it could one day be

And simple dreams could possibly become reality

Until then I will keep my dreams alive in my mind

Until that time in which I speak and you become mine.....

                                The End

I hope you like it, as you inspired it...

One Year Ago Today ...

Yesterday I realized - it's been one year since I've last seen Sean. This time last year I was in Parris Island, SC watching him graduate from boot camp.

It is crazy how fast time flies - although it did not seem very fast looking back on it. It's also amazing to revisit where I was emotionally and mentally, twelve months ago. I am a different person and in a different place. But I am thankful for where I am at today. Going through it - I never thought I would ever find a place of happiness and peace again. Yet I have found it, and I value it so much more.

I hope Sean is doing well - stationed over in Japan - and that his life is bringing him lots of happiness with his new wife. I thought to myself just last evening, he will always hold a special place in my heart. He was my first love ... my first everything. What a special time in my life full of a variety of memories. But that season has passed, and now it's time to look to the present and live my life to the fullest. I mean after all ... maybe I'll be the one with a ring on my finger this time next year ;-p

Happy Labor Day Weekend!
