IF You've Got it Flaunt It!

I never used to be one of those girls that tried to get attention in any way that required the feminine touch. If it weren't for spell check I wouldn't even be able to spell the word feminine in this blog, but I have found that I have God given permission to flaunt.  Some of you might be scared by this statement, but the truth is that there is nothing wrong flaunting if you know what to flaunt.  For some women it's their hair, shape, clothes, food, or attitude that they put up for the world to see. Other women flaunt their intellect, wealth, work ethic, or family ties.  Whatever it is that makes people look on in amazement and jealousy is the most flaunt worthy.  The problem with flaunting is that the things change.  Hair can fall out, hips can expand, money can run out, and age can play tricks on our minds.   What you flaunt today you may be ashamed of tomorrow, and others may look on in disappointment or devious satisfaction that you aren't the way you used to be.  I for one never want to be known for who I used to be or what I used to be able to do.  I want my light to shine forever.
      I have decided that I will now and forever more flaunt JESUS!  That's right I am going to wear my salvation with pride to the envy of the world.  Jesus is going to shine so bright in me people are going to have to wear sunglasses when I walk by.  People will gasp, and their mouths will hang open as I sport my stuff for everyone to see.  People are going to want the Jesus that I have, and when they ask me how I got him I am going to tell them! Jesus said if he be lifted up in the earth he would draw all men unto him.  Jesus is the only thing worth flaunting that no one can ignore and that won't fade or change over time.  So if you got him FLAUNT HIM.  Work it ladies!!!!!  (and gentlemen) =) By the way I did find my  femininity.  I have finally found the balance between being tough and being a lady, and when I lose my way I have some wonderful examples in my mother and grandmothers.  There is no need to be anything less than everything that I was made to be.  There is nothing wrong with being proud of who God has made you to be.

    I like that. Flaunt him by letting your words match your actions/lifestyle.

5 things that could keep you from getting so angry

So I find that there are certain things that when done make for a much better day than when I don't do them.  As a single mom sometimes it gets hard to do these and then everything seems to be a bigger ordeal for me. Lord help me to do better with that.  I would tell you don't judge me, but I know you are going to do it anyway so I will say please be gracious toward me.  1.  Start the snowball of positive thinking : For me this means prayers of thanks, reading my Bible, listening to positive music, writing a letter to God or to myself, even watching some Veggie Tales (what do you know about those Veggies?)  with my son sometimes.   The reality is there is enough negative that comes at me; why would I invite anything other than a flood of positive truth into my mind and my life? This is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it...or else!!!  haha just kidding (sort of) 2.  Wash up!: Remember when I said be gracious?...

Mr. Sandman Where are you?

I was told that by 6 months old or so my son should be effectively sleeping through the night. Well, Tomorrow is his first birthday and he has already woken up twice...make that three times because he woke up while I was writing this! I really miss sleeping and I want my little one to get sleep too. He wakes up every two or three hours to nurse. I try to get him to go back to sleep, but a baby who is standing up and pulling on the side of his crib isn't going back to sleep easily. I sing, swing, shush , and attempt to swaddle, but he won't have any of it. Sometimes I let him cry his way back to sleep, but it only last for about a half hour before he reawakens more determined than before. The screaming wears on my nerves and the lack of sleep is wearing on my days. Some days I think "This is it. This is my life now. I will never feel rested again, and I will never be fully alert again." I expected to lose sleep when I found out I was pregnant. I expected to be tired, b...

I have a dream

I used to dream all the time that I was witnessing to people.  People would ask me questions and I would begin to speak about the goodness of the Lord, and how Jesus was the solution to all of their problems or desires.  I feel anointed to be having those dreams again.  Maybe someone needs these words.  I talk about my journey of faith, but maybe you haven't begun that journey yet so let me tell you about Jesus.  Jesus is the Christ, the savior of the world, the messiah, the only begotten son of God.  Jesus is God in humanity. He came down to earth, lived a human life, did miraculous things to show people who he was and how much he loved them.  Jesus felt every human emotion that any of us have ever felt. Jesus taught us how to live as people of God.  Then he died so that we wouldn't have to be separated from him anymore.   You see sin separates us from God because he is holy.  We all have sinned therefore we all should be separated fro...
