My so called life

It has been just about 5 yrs since Ive last posted on this blog! Life has been rough. I find myself constantly faced with challenges, but hey that's life right. I wish the adage "When life gives you lemons make lemon" applied to me. Ha! Anyways I changed the title of my blog from Blessed to My So Called Life. Don't get me wrong, I know I am definitely blessed!!! For sure as the song says; If it had not been for the Lord on my side where would I be, is definitely true for me! It's just that lately Ive been feeling like my life is so not what it is meant to be. No matter how much I try I miss the mark. Wanting to be the perfect wife, mother, and friend but in reality a MESS- My SO CALLED LIFE. So here goes me as I stumble and bumble along. Hopefully finding help, familiarity, and maybe hopefully giving a little encouragement to others who may be feeling a little of the same.

10 Days to a Godly marriage

This week I have taken on this awesome challenge to further strengthen my marriage. Take the challenge with me and may your marriages continue to be blessed of the Lord!!!

Day #1: My marriage looks nothing like your marriage
This has been a real blessing to me. Realizing that every marriage is different. I can't compare my husband to anyone else for the simple fact that he is not anyone else but mine. Instead of being disgruntled when he doesn't measure up to my so called standards, I can look into ways to please him9finding out his likes and dislikes) and vice verse. Making for a much happier and satisfied marriage.

We must all respect our husbands. (Ephesians 5:33)

We must all submit to our husbands. (Ephesians 5:22, 24)

We must all be a helpmate to our husbands. (Genesis 2:18)

AMEN

Day#2: Submitting to your unbelieving husband(In my marriage this doesn't apply. Praise God!)
Day #3: Be your husband's crown
Proverbs 12:4 says, “A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown
Steps to follow
1 Look after household
2 Be submissive
3 Be faithful
I'm pleased to be my husbands crown
Day #4: Do you feel alone in your marriage
Yes!!! but  praise God that's chaning! He's a good God!!!

I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Time to hold my head high and strut!!!

late night

It's late and I need to get to bed. My thought life seems to be going in so many different directions! I can never seem to get a handle on anything worth grabbing a hold to! In fact I don't know quite what to grab onto. Need to really focus on holding onto christ. He is the anchor that holds. He is the sure thing, soooo why do I keep letting go?!!!

Blah!!!

Man, I blog like I journal! LOL!!! Havent been on here in a minute. Today is such a beautiful day but Im stuck inside cleaning! Which Im not really doing anyways,hence the computer! HEE!HEE! Not really sure what to write , I guess I better get to my chores! UGH!!! Could be worse, right!

Working Mom

I am now working, thank God! The Lord worked it out for me. Without Him I am nothing. I can't help though, feeling that this is not it! There has to be more, no I know there is more! I just have to tap into it somehow. I'm not giving up on my dreams just trying to make them a reality. Sometimes they feel like just that, a dream. I know God has placed these desires within me. Lord help me to walk in your way. I need thee.


'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

I Need Thee!!!

I need thee, oh I need Thee, every hour I need Thee! Oh bless me now my savior, I come to Thee. Right now I feel like I'm in such a funk and I can't really put into words exactly why. Maybe I'm going through a dry spell. I know my redeemer lives! Their will be brighter days and a brighter future for me. The Lord is my light and salvation. The Lord is the strength of my life. I shall not be afraid, I shall not be moved!

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance. Psalms 42:5
