It's Been Too Long...

Where do I begin?!? There's been so much going on in my life that I hate I haven't had time to blog about it. There's no way that I can give a complete recap of the past few weeks without forgetting some things because I just don't have the time right now. But it felt necessary to write something since it's been so long. I do have a few things which have been consistent in my life so I'll take the time to mention them. Of course God is at the top of the list...He's still blessing me beyond belief! I'm not worthy of His favor but there's no way I can deny that I have it. God's favor follows me everywhere I go. I've found a church that I like but I'm not ready to commit. As soon as God lets me know it's the one then it'll be the one. My kids continue to mature and amaze me on the regular. I'm thanking God now for the successful future each one of them will have. I still love FL! There are times when I feel like I've been here my whole life. Not as homesick as I thought I would be. In fact, there's only been quick flashes of nostalgia so I guess it's kinda like "outta sight, outta mind!" I am amazed when I look at my past, overwhelmed with love and joy when I look at my present, and beyond ecstatic when I think of what my future holds!

We All Need It!

It's hard to forgive and maybe even impossible to forget...but it must be done. In order for us to receive mercy, we must be merciful. And while we're at it, we might as well be gracious too because none of us are worthy enough for grace.

Grace gives to us the things which we DO NOT deserve...Mercy keeps us from what we actually DO deserve.

Yes...It's True

I have found myself once again single but never have I been this happy after a break-up. I guess that's what happens when you're truly happy before starting the relationship. What can I say...it just wasn't meant to be. There are a number of valid reasons why I ended the relationship but it all comes down to one thing...I felt like I was settling. My heart was not content. I often ask myself, "Am I expecting too much...perfection maybe?" But I don't think so. I just know what I want and I won't settle for less! To do so would put limitations on God. I need someone who challenges me to be my absolute best, and I definitely do NOT want to lead a man (I have enough children). He should be leading me...AND in the right direction. The guy I was dating was not a terrible guy...just not for me. And there are no bad feelings between us.

I will admit that my standards are a little high for a single mother of three, but hey...I now know my value. There's something to be learned from everyone that God allows to come into your life. So I will take what I have learned and use it to make improvements on myself.
