Fragmented

Wow! Ok, God, I get it. For the past several days the word "fragmented" kept entering my mind. As we inch closer to Mother's Day and the first Mother's day without my biological Mother, I can't help but feel even more fragmented.😢 Yes, our lives were fragmented in our younger days being tossed from one foster home to another. Rarely getting to see our other siblings. Occasional visits with our Mother. All the time wishing our family could become "whole" again. I felt VERY fragmented throughout life, even in my 20's and 30's, trying to hold my instability together. But....... with all honestly, I feel more fragmented now, more than ever. On January 15, 2007, our oldest sister passed away. I felt a piece of our family gone in and instant. How could this be? We finally achieve what we thought a "whole" feeling, now it's fragmented. We were missing a loved one so much. Our sister, Ethel "Marlene" Robertson was and inte...

Unfriending on Facebook

Image
My vent for the day, week, month! UNFRIENDING on Facebook has become so juvenile. Who cares? I sure don't. I mean really ?? It's JUST Facebook lol. How many of your friends have you actually met in person? Some will say, "Oh, I know everyone of my friends on Facebook" Do you really? I bet you really don't. Remember when it was "cool" to have lot's of friends on Facebook?  Nowadays it's become so scary to have strangers. I don't know all of my friends either but, I have learned to weed out the really perverted ones. You know, the ones that start creeping & liking way too much and then start sending messages every day, asking: "How was your Day?" "Oh, your (Yes, with the misspelled words) so pretty", "I'd like to know you more". I mean really dude, can't you read? It clearly states I am in a relationship. I post pictures of myself and my honey all of the time. Geez, creep, look at my profile picture...

Painful Criticism

I recently read and excerpt from Charisma Magazine. It was very insightful and when I am having brain fog, such as today, I go and read it occasionally and it definitely helps to sustain me and remind me that God is always there, no matter what others, say, do or think about me. I've always said "The truth will set you free and God knows the truth about all" So, others in their haughty behavior are not winners over you. :) Be strong and courageous and hold your head up high and REMEMBER TO SMILE IN THE FACE OF YOUR ADVERSARIES! In my distress, I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me. Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.  —Psalm 120:1-2, KJV Are you in distress at the moment because someone has falsely accused you? Whatever the cause, perhaps you have never realized that God has permitted the distress, and, because you lack this perspective, you fear that you will break under the strain. But God is saying, "I am behind all...

What happened to YOUR Grace?

Ok, so I've waited a few days since my last post. Sometimes it is good to gather your thoughts before blabbing about anything. Too many times we just spew whatever comes to our minds too quickly. You know, like the "brain vomit". (see previous post) Lot's of things have bothered me, but most not even worth commenting about. I've learned over the years that "it is what it is". That is a mentality that is really good to keep at times. I've learned to live in the "grace", which to me means, that others will hurt you, but instead of striking back, we forgive, give them grace, whether they think they need it or not. It is with that mindset that we, ourselves, receive the "grace" and healing we need. Remember, it's not about them anymore. It's about you and what you do in the situation that gives you the most peace about it. The moral is: Don't let others steal your joy! The JOY of the Lord is my strength. There ar...

Things that irritate me (Today anyway :))

Image
O.k., so I keep thinking at night (every night) that I need to start writing, even if it's something. What to write about? Hmmm.. it could be about my life as it was, is, and to be ... not really sure. I'll totally leave that up to however I am feeling on any particular day. Today, I am reminded that I allow little things to irritate me. What? You know you have those little things that irritate you too. :) Irritants of the day: 1. Why didn't I start a blog before now?                                 2. Women that feel the need to text my man! ( A really bad irritation there)                                 3. I really should have started blogging in the middle of the night when everything is really going through my mind like crazy! (really irritating me, because I'd rather be sleeping)           ...
