Enjoy Your Life!

Image
Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God. God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past. (Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 NLT) If I'm honest I've been struggling to enjoy this beautiful life GOD has given me. The last few years or so have been pretty rough! But in the midst of it all, I have seen the goodness of the LORD! I think my problem is that I'm a processor and tend to get in my head a little too much. If I'm not careful I'll take up residence there for way too long. I heard a statistic that about 80% of our thoughts are just the thoughts from the day before and only 20% are new. Wow! That makes sense! Once...

Strengthen yourself in the LORD!

I've recently gone through a rough season. If you ask me, I might still be walking in it. This season has been way too long. But I'm sure we can all say that at one time or another some of our seasons have lasted way longer than we would have wanted. And sometimes we stay in a season longer than we should have of our own free will. But I say that very compassionately, no judgement here since I've been there. Whatever the case is, this previous season has been way too long for me. I must admit there have been some sweet moments and I'm grateful to GOD that HE's allowed me to be able to even recognize them! But geez! I'm so ready to go into a new one! A new season filled with lots of peace, joy, fruitfulness, and happiness! And if I'm honest, I think it's coming! I think it's right around the corner! But if it's not, it's got to be closer than further away, right?! "So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time w...

My Brief Dating Journey :)

Image
So, a little about me... I'm 45 years old and have never had a boyfriend. Shocker, I know! Well, that is until this year. Actually, there are many of us out there. Trust me, I've met them. LOL! Although, I've never had a boyfriend until this year it doesn't mean I haven't been on my fair share of dates. Many have been fun and others not so much! So, this is a little story of my brief dating journey, spoiler alert it didn't last long. It pretty much ended as soon as it started. Though technically that's how it went down the truth is this relationship was a long time coming!  Hope you have a little snack to munch on! It might get a little interesting. Perhaps, some popcorn and a little cafe con leche! So, here goes... At the end of 2024, I surrendered my desire to be married and more specifically my desire for a certain someone (a long time friend). I had given it to GOD so many times before but this time I was finally done. I didn't want to long for somet...
