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.

The purpose of your life is to be saved first, then your mind transformed and renewed. ~Yolanda Adams.
The secret to being happy is accepting where you are in life and making the most out of everyday. ~Unknown
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.

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…

I have so much to get done.
Soooo much....sooooo much.
Stress. Pray. Keep. It. Moving.
I'm overwhelmed easily. But my faith is strong. I serve a Mighty God who will help me overcome anything.
I don't just write about it, I KNOW it and I believe it.
I can be raw. Have the mouth of a sailor. And my tongue can often cut like a knife.
However, Jesus loves me just the same.
That's why I'm so glad..... HE knows my heart.

Bad Mommy Moment.....
...so I didn't attend my son's football game last night. And honestly I don't feel bad about it...I mean I really don't like football(head hung low)...I mean I try to tolerate it for the sake of my son but I honestly don't understand and don't have a care in the world about learning it.....so I skipped out. I feel bad, I'll make it up to him... buy him some Jordan's, a fitted cap and he'll be straight:)
LOL...call it what you want but I know how to make up and make him happy!! But I do feel bad...way...way....deep down on the inside.
(Lord please forgive me...)

A potential for disaster.
I just read on another blog where a man walked into a church and shot another man leading a prayer. WOW!! Church isn't even safe anymore. It's a sad state of affairs when you walk into the house of the Lord and take another's person life. My prayers go out to all affected by this tragedy.
It humbles me and makes me think you never know what a person is going thru. If we were all like Jesus and prayed and treated each other kindly what a wonderful world this would be. This is more so a message to myself because I know I can go straight HAM on a person not even thinking about what they might be going thru. Lesson for today, be kind...be grateful...and be thankful for all of God's blessings.

Put a hump in ya back!! cuz it's Wed.
...so I blocked one of my really good friends on Facebook. One of my best friends whom I love dearly. How do I explain this to her? How do I tell her that althought I love her to death, I just could not fathom looking at her incessent posts about her working out, and eating tuna,a nd going to the club. See for me......I want to browse thru my newsfeed and see positive, funny or informative posts. Not trivial, confrontiatial stuff...
FOR INSTANCE: females who post they are "THE BOSS" yet have no high school education, sleep with someone else's man, straight government reciepient but oh yeah your a "boss"...please explain to me? See that question may be pertinent probably if said BOSS LADY even understood what that meant, and second if she actually owned something???or perhaps employed someone??? It's perplexing to me the things some females refer to themselves as and take pride in being called. In example those women who proudly brag about being the "side chick"...like WHY??? is that a good thing (siiggghh)....like it only makes me sad for these women because clearly they like drama and want to bring attention to the fact they are heaux's. Po' them(side eye).
I really could on and on about the stupid stuff people post on FB and I know there are some who sing the same ole song of "it's my page....yad yada" and you are certainly right...which is why I've exercised my right to BLOCK THAT AZZ!!!
~Love ya.....(mean it).

I would tell all the tired, ratched, baby mama's out there to STOP IT and get a job and support your own damn kids that you laid up and made and quit depending on the government to take care of them. But yet you keep 'em laced up in Polo and post FB pics of your family vacations???? (puzzled).
I would tell all sorry men who are not taking care of there kids to DOBETTER.com.....your going to regret it.
I would tell all the annoying folks on FB to STOP IT..... I mean if you love your man...tell HIM boo..not the world....every other day.....if you eat a tuna salad...who hell really cares and wants to know that??
I would tell all those females who come to church looking like they are going to the club...."Jesus loves you and said come as you are......." BUT "Nikki says....STOP IT....you look like a trashy hooka"...
I would tell all the lonely girls to don't settle for less because there is someone worthwhile waiting for.
I would tell all the ugly people with ugly attitudes to STOP the madness, you UGLY so your attitude should be BEAUTIFUL.
I would tell all the men over the age of 40 and still trying to be "Gangsta's" or still indulging in illegal activities to "HAVE A SEAT" and do something useful for the world.
I really could on and on....but I think you get the point..WHICH is probably why I don't rule the world....

Doing this.
...coughs...clears throats...and steps up to the mic. "Hello world, my name is Tonicka Middleton but MOST people know me by Nikki Middleton. However, my stage name is Paradise Hill. Allow me to introduce myself"..... I am:
A mother - 2 sons. Teenagers. Headaches. Love them to tears.
A daughter - A headache. A brat. Loved to death.
A sister - A bitch. A bestfriend. Loved to death.
...and a whole lot of other things combined. So I'm like most the average working woman, grateful for my paycheck but not doing what I'm destined to do or what makes me happy. THIS makes me happy. Writing makes me happy. Expressing myself makes my happy. (Just ask my boyfriend...he says "I"m too deep")....another story...another blog....another topic...another day. But TODAY, this AM while on my 40 min commute to work, I decided that I have no desire to spend the next 5 years of my life (If the Lord blesses me with many, many more) doing that which makes me unhappy. I'm a writer, it's in my soul and it oozes out of me.
.....and it makes me HAPPY!!!!
So (sticking my tongue out..in love) to my boyfriend who tells me "I read too much, and I think/talk to much" this is my outlet....cuz in the words of my alter ego Tamar Braxton "A bitch need a outlet"!!!! So all bull aside...I hope you enjoy my outlet.
my writing. My outbursts. My blurbs. It's me..me...me....
