Hope

There's Hope

What a beautiful song eh? I am reminded that "There's hope. It doesn't cost a thing to smile. You don't have to pay to laugh. You better think God for that. But we gotta keep on survivin'. Keep living our truth and do the best we can. Keep shinin' your light".

Interruptions

Today a notion of mine was confirmed in Church today as to the fact that we will all have interruptions in our lives. Sometimes they are created by our own choices, and then sometimes they are created by God. I do not believe in coincidences, as I believe in God incidents. Every trial and tribulation has lead me to this point. It has added character, and it has prepared me for the purpose of my life. God has created an interruption in my life, which I believe in turn is an introduction in another chapter of my life. And I look forward to it. Pain is inevitable in our lives,however misery is a choice. I have decided to not be bitter about my dad or past tribulations, as my story has and will continue to work in many others. I hope it is through my life, people will see the presence of God. God will continue to live in and through me. I am not mad at my father, as God is a father to the fatherless, and I am seeing that more and more everyday. He has been with me from the beginning. I have never been alone.

Purpose

Many people who do not believe, they wonder why a God would create us only to fail. I understand their frustration. However, when having Kayleigh, my child, who is capable of breaking my heart into little pieces, because she does things I don't want her to, makes me realize we are given free will. She is not a puppet by design, she is one who will make the decisions for herself, and what is more beautiful then having the choice to make those decisions? I have a perfect plan for her life, but how much more meaningful is it for her to find her purpose on her own? It is more meaningful. I have to believe in the beginning God wanted to share the majesty and wonders of his creation, but he loved us enough to make our own decision. I find comfort in the fact that God will love me no matter what, just as I will love Kayleigh no matter what decisions she makes.

*singing* I've got the whole world in my hands....

I love holding my entire world in my hands.

Family

I just recently watched a movie which reminded me that our family and friends are so important. He decides to live his life not caring for anything but Nature, because it is only Nature that can not emotionally harm us. However, he realizes that happiness only matters when shared. It reminded me of the importance of not only forgiveness but taking a risk, even if it may not turn out the way you want it to. We can't close ourselves off, or put up walls to guard us from abandonment. Also, I received a great quote about love. It states that love is unconditional. We should love not because of their personality or circumstances. We shouldn't tell that person, " I love you because...." because then it becomes conditional. Loving someone unconditional creates a vulnerability in me...which I will have to learn to live with. :)

Kayleigh and Mally

Kayleigh looooooves Malachi!!! He is our protector as Marlmel is our alarm system. He is learning to sit, stay, and ring a "cowbell" when he needs to go to the bathroom! LOL.

Dad,
Your beautiful grandbaby and granddog...:)
