Prayer Changes Things

My boyfriend works nights and I rarely see him in the mornings before I leave for work. However on those rare occasions we do catch one another before parting ways for the day, we pray together.
This was the case this AM. He came in and decided to make him some breakfast, put his food on the stove to cook and fell asleep. He awoke to a house full of smoke and thankfully a heart still beating.
I attribute that all to God's grace, mercy and our praying.
God hears our prayers and in every prayer I pray I ask God to "help us remember that HE is in control" and he showed that today.
I'm beyond blessed and grateful that everything was okay and my boyfriend still has a home.
I'm even more grateful that we pray together and serve a faithful and on time God.
OVERJOYED.

Too many of us are hung up on what we don't haave, can't have, or won't ever have. We spend too much energy being down, when we could use that same energy, if not less of it, doing, or at least trying to do some of the things we really want to do. ~Terry McMillian

People may hate you for beign different and not living up to society's standards, but deep down they wish they had the courage to do the same. ~Unknown

You will face many defeats in life, but never let yourself be defeated. ~Maya Angelou

Maturity has nothing to do with age. Maturity comes from experiences, mistakes, learning, and understanding.

Happiness is a choice. Yeah, things in life make it difficult sometimes. But at the end of the day, you control your own happiness. ~Unknown

You can't force love, I realized. It's there or it isn't. If it's not there you've got to be able to admit it. If it is therer, you've got to do whatever it takes to protect it. ~Richelle Mead

Ultimately success is not something you achieve; it is who you are, it is a way of being.

People will let you down in this life, promises will be broken, you should expect less of others and trust more in yourself. ~Leon Brown

When the goal seems big and the plans looks tough, just start and soon the next ting you need to do will look possible. Step by stepy you can get through anything.

Some stuff to share....

(from my "Verse of the Day")

The Lord has told you, human, what is good; he has told you what he wants from you: to do what is right to other peple, love being kind to others, and live humbly, obeying your God.

Montomy of a Monday

...and this is why I started this blog. Because I despise Mondays. And I have no idea why....Monday has never done anything to me except allow me another day to be at my job and get another 8 hours in and make some more money. Yet I find myself so against Monday's.... I guess because I've been on my own time schedule for the entire weekend and now it's back to the same ole routine. Which is why I started this blog....I pray ( and I hope you will with me and for me) that this thing blows up(LOL) and I'm able to just write and still be able to live and not have to worry about getting up early on a Monday morning coming in per someone's predetermined schedule. I certainly don't want to sound ungrateful for my job/ my blessing but I would much rather do things MY way but until I can afford too...I'll just do what I have to. That's what I call grinding....."I'm getting it"..... In spite of it all.... I am thankful to have a job and thankful that I'm blessed to open my eyes and see another day.

Thursday Thoughts,,,,

I love this..... this is from Erykah Badu and it's called "The Warrior's Reminder"

I am awake
My mind is free
I am Creative
I love myself
My will power is strong
I am Brave
I practice patience
I dont judge folks
I give not to receive
I dont expect
I accept
I listen more than I talk
I know I’ll change
I know you’ll change
I’ll hold on one more day
I start over when necessary
I create my own situations
I am cosmic
I dont have the answers
I desire to learn
I am the plan
I am strong
I am weak
I want to grow
I know I will
I take on responsibility
I hide myself from no one

Im on my path
Warriors walk alone
I wont let my focus change
Taking out the demons in my range…
