Pets

We have two dogs. Both were given to us as gifts. We received the beagle from my brother and the German Shepard/chow mix for the children's uncle.  They have discovered a new found love for the dogs and so have I. The beginning of June I made a garden. After making a garden, I noticed how sad and pitiful the dogs looked being in their pen. So, I went to Petsmart and bought materials to allow them to be staked out and room. I also bought them leases to walk the dogs. The children now walk the dogs daily. The dogs don't whine as much as enjoy their lives better. Pets are wonderful creatures. I have even discovered a new found interest in them. I am not grossed out as they lick my leg or brush pass me.

Clouds

I like clouds. They are ever changing before your eyes. They appear to embrace the unknown with pure direction.

Cooking

Tonight is my first time cooking tilapia. I am going to bake it. Jasmine helped me season it. I gave her the salt shaker. She shook out some and said, "Mama this ice!". O_O Next we put lemon pepper on it. Lastly, we put dill weed on it. Jasmine asked me why were we putting grass on the fish. My children never cease to entertain me.

Good Times With Grandparents

My children spent a week with my parents.  They had a ball. Was it because my parents own a farm or was it because they spent time with my parents, sisters, nieces, and nephew.  This picture is of my parents farm truck.  The children and I followed my parents to Pontotoc, MS for farm supplies.  After we picked them up, we had a picnic on back of the farm truck at the local Wal-Mart. My children were tickled pink. Fried chicken, Kool-aid bursts, and Popsicles were a fun delight, but not as fun as "sitting on Granddaddy's truck!"

Flashback

I'm sitting outside on my computer. Watching the children ride on their bikes, I am reminded of two summers ago doing the same thing. However, I was in a different situation. I was a stay-at-home mother miserable and ready to go back to work.  It's funny how certain activities trigger certain thoughts. I am amazed at how life repeats itself when we are least likely to notice.

It so amazing how fast these children grow up before your eyes.  Jasmine is four, Jacob will be three in August, and Jeremiah is 8.  All of them can talk. All of them are potty trained. All of them are in school.  I am so blessed. I remember when Jasmine had a fever virus. My world was turned upside down. I remember when Jacob had septic elbow. I was afraid I would lose him.  I remember when Jeremiah was born prematurely. I felt as if he would never be able to live a normal life.

Looking at them now. I know that God is definitely watching over my children.

Jasmine's Personality

Here is a picture of Jasmine. She is so proud that she can do a split. Her personality is so bubbly and lively. She reminds me of me so much. I often find myself referring to her as mini-me. She is so outgoing and friendly. She definitely is interested in ballet and drama.  I am hoping that she will be able to begin dancing in the fall. I believe that she truly has a gift. I hope to expose her to the opportunity to exploit her gift.

Been Awhile

It's been awhile since I published anything going on with the children and I. Let's see what has changed. Well Jasmine is 4, Jacob will be 3, and Jeremiah is 8. We planted a little garden yesterday. We planted tomatoes, cucumbers, pimento peppers, bell peppers, squash, and okra. I even dealt with the dogs yesterday and today. I had an interview for a part-time job. I hope I get it. Don't feel like I accomplished much today. I hope tomorrow is definitely more fulfilling for me. I hope to catch up and post random pictures of the lives of my children and I. We are so blessed.

Sermon Notes - January 10, 2010

Sermon Notes - January 10, 2010
Lamentations 3:21-26

From the pit of despair to the pennacle of hope - title

God's character is inflexible . He does not change. He cannot fail. He
cannot falter. He will not forget. He is always faithful. His power
and pre-emminence remains. Bibical background: children of Israel was
n a hopeless state. Had several difficulties over a period of 18
months. A foreign army dessimated the city. It was truly difficult and
tough. When they destroyed Solomon's temple, it was as I the people
felt God had abandoned his people. Often we r confronted with many
difficulties dangers and detours. Find ourselves in the valley than on
top of the moutain. Must believe that god is with us in other to avoid
feeling hopeless. Sometimes in life what God promises us doesn't
conincide with what actually happens. Jeremiah reminds us to remember
god has already done. We must resolve some things.

55% of people who make new year resolutions keep them on the first
month.
40% of people keep them 6 months
Only 19% keep it after one year

I resolve to remain faithful to God inspite of the circumstances. In
spite of what is going on in my life I will remain faithful.

People become discourages when God does not come when we think he
should come. Remain faithful. You must hang on in here regardless of
how dark things maybe. God is too righteous to forget about me. The
fact that you are alive "clothe in your right mind" proves that God
mercy was in ur house. Don't forget to thank God for his mercies. His
mercies are full and fresh each morning. Hang on in there and stay
with God. Weeping endureth for a night. Joy comes in the morning. Wait
on the Lord patiently. Remember your agenda is not Gods agenda. He
knows what he is doing. He will show up on your behalf. Give God glory
for what he already has done and what he will do. The wind may blow
storm will rave. Hang on to God's grace. Don't turn ur back on God.
God is alright. Bless God's name. I am going to requisition his favor.
Pray praise and keep on performing. When things are bad u should run
to church. Praise him in spite of and on credit. Things r bad where I
am. I will praise him where I am. Dark now but hang on in there.

Jasmine's Little Lesson

Last night as I was getting my children ready for bed, Jasmine ran to me with her top lip bleeding. I asked her what was wrong. She just had this really goofy look on her face. Kwandis asked her too, and she came up with a story (aka lie) that she had fallen and busted her lip. He asked her if she had used my razor. She stuck closely with her story...she fell in my bathroom and cut her lip. When he walked off, I asked her again. She told the truth. With her precious puppy dog eyes, she confessed her wrongdoing. I felt sorry for my little pumpkin. I dared not scold her, but I sternly explained to her what she did wrong (lying) and what she should have done (tell the truth).

After putting everyone to bed, my mind wondered on exactly why she did it. I couldn't help to wonder if, at the age of three, she was desperately trying to achieve a certain look about herself, or if she was just curiously about the effects of a pretty pink razor. However, I did not come up with a concrete answer. What I did decide was that it was now time to truly child-proof my bathroom.

Sermon Notes

Sermon Notes
Matthew 11:28-30 and I Peter 5:7

Background: encouragement for enduring our personal pilgrimage

There is no sense in worrying about things you can and cannot have any
control

Reference to Chuck Swindle

Worry pulls a cloud over your sunshine.

Worrying is essentially flutters up today time so that today
opportunity are clouded by yesterdays problems.

to overcome life burdens and circumstances we must surrender worries
submit worries and strengthen your walk and survey works of God

In life in circumstances the problem that is common (what is the
problems that come)

There is always something to be concerned about. Examples: finances,
family, crisis in my faith, my future, or health

Usually those who have heavy weights are often doing things alone
without God, burden by life. Ur problems are common for saints and
sinners. Saints deal with problems just like sinners. Remember you
don't have trouble until u love Jesus.

Problems are common to human existence. We are apart of a sin infested
world. We are often time attacked by the adversary. If u haven't had
any problems do leave here bragging. Saints have to endure pain
burdens and crisis of life. Everybody has an issue even if your issue
is not like his. In the scripture you will find the prescription to
conquer all your problems. Cast all your cares on him. Just come and
bring yourself to Christ. Come to Christ and receive salvation.
Prescription for life burdens: Rely on Christ. It is very hard. It is
very hard to turn things over to Christ. You have to learn to trust
God. It takes a lot of effort to trust God becuase we don't spend
enough time with him. Learn to trust Jesus by spending time with him.
Developing this relationship with Christ, will help you to overcome
life burdens. Not my will but thine will be done because you trust
Christ because you love him. God places us in a situation for us to
learn from it. We have to learn about Christ and our relationship and
about ourselves. Coming to Christ you don't have to manufacture your
own prescription. God's promise: God will give you rest. The rest is
both positive and negative. I will give you rest when u come to me I
will build a hedge around your heart and mind. I will prevent things
from coming in that will disturb your rest. He will give you peace
which surpasses all our understanding. He will build a fort to protect
things from penetrating. Only Jesus can guard your heart and mind I.
Such a way to eliminate problems to penetrate. Ask God to guard your
heart and mind. Develop peace with God. Learn how to recognize Satan.
His job is to disturb your peace. You must recognize Satan's
objectives. When it looks like nothing good will happen, God makes a
way.

BMW 750i

This is $96,000 worth of fabulousness.

Green Plant

Green tiny plant stands silently alone.
Leaning to one side over the rim of its home
The green plant breathes air into my soul

Blue Towel

A blue towel soaks up each ounce
Demanding my opaque attention
The blue towel becomes lucid in my mind

Weather and Play

I love wathing my children play outside. They are so creative with the things they find in the garage to occupy their time. The weather is so perfect right now. As they are playing, the zeal of parenthood overwhelms me. They are so precious and bring so much life to my world. I love that their motives for fun and life are so opaque, unlike the adults I often come in contact with. Beyond the arguing and the whining, my children embrace any instance of anomaly. Their deviation from the conventional objects of playtime shows that their lucid understanding is phenomenal.

Feeling like urgh!!!

Since my car hasn't been working, we are using only one vehicle. So, I
haven't had a chance to go to the gym for an entire week. With so much
going on, I haven't noticed that I have not been to the gym until this
morning. We celebrated Jacob's second birthday at CiCi's pizza.
Buffets are so sinful. Even though I did not overeat this time, I woke
up with awful cramping. I cannot wait for my car to get fixed so that
I can burn all the calories and fat I had this entire week. Perhaps,
it is really a good thing that my body now recognizes when I haven't
eaten right.

NYTimes: Your Baby Is Smarter Than You Think

From The New York Times:

OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR: Your Baby Is Smarter Than You Think

Babies and young children are designed to explore, and they should be
encouraged to do so. Children learn more through natural interaction
with a parent and play than with any toy.

Bed at Batte Furniture

I am saddened about my awful experience at Batte Furniture. I really
believe I was treated rudely because I was black. However, I did like
this bed. It was gorgeous. Yet, the retail price was $6,000. It wasn't
that gorgeous though. What do you think?

Return to Work

Open House is today. I will meet the sixth graders and their parents today. Perhaps, they are as anxious to meet us as we are anxious to know them. I remember my sixth grade year. We were the oldest children in the building at Water Valley Elementary School (now called Davison Elementary). I felt almost grown as the younger students looked up to us. The role of sixth grade in our school is different. The sixth graders are the youngest. The experience of sixth graders almost resembles freshman year. I am hoping for a great year.

Yoga

As I am lying on my back smothered under my bedclothes, I am beyond exhausted. I don't feel as if I accomplished as much today. I was very anxious and just couldn't get focus. I was high-strung today, but I knew that I had to go to yoga tonight. I am so glad that I did. Even though I came home and took a shower, I could not muster up any energy to clean up. Yet, mentally I am recharged and feel so much better I am not as stressed. Yoga is my new outlet. It fulfills my life and blesses my body and soul.

Wow!

Last Day

I cannot believe today is the last day of my summer vacation. Work begins tomorrow. Not sure that I am excited. Maybe you could describe it as being anxious to start. I wonder how many children with special needs will be assigned to me. Last year, one of my students committed suicide. So, this year will be an interesting year because his little brother will be at our school. He looks just like my student. Perhaps the reality of not being able to come and go as I want is no longer available! I am wondering what new changes have occurred. I do know that we have a new principal. He was one of the assistants from last year. I don't know just hoping that this year is better than last year.

Achievement

Today, I feel like I really achieved something. I printed out a photograph I took and put it in a frame. It looks so professional. I painted over the part of the breakfast bar that Jacob decided to color a gray marker on. I bought a folding table for our laundry room. I have washed loads and loads of clothing all day. I am starting to see the nice linoleum floor. I even found time to go to the gym and work out. I cooked dinner. I sent emails. I schedule important meetings. I followed up. I read a book. I can see my kitchen counter. I washed Jasmine's hair. I went to JSU to turn in my graduation clearance. I threw more than 27 pieces of paper away. I am exhausted. Yet, it feels really great to think of all I have accomplished today. Hopefully, I can repeat the same thing tomorrow.

Unconditional Love

What would the world be like if everyone loved each other genuinely in an unconditional manner like God's love? Would we live harmoniously and bathe ourselves in forgiveness and faithfulness? Would we just shake it off when someone inflicts excruciating pain on our very souls? Would we all accept the flaws and the untruths often exposed at a vulnerable and trying time?

Vicious Cycle

Have you ever been just so sick and tired that you were sick and tired of bring sick and tired? I am realizing that you can stop being sick and tired by ending the vicious cycle. I now know it's time for me to stop this cycle of repeat offenses by taking the necessary steps to remove me from such an environment. People treat you only the way you allow them to. Sometimes, your comfort zone interferes with what you know is necessary. However, it's important to understand that remaining in an unhealthy comfort zone hurts you more than an unfamiliar comfort zone. Perhaps you have to reach a point that you just have to wake up and realize that things change. Sometimes it takes a wake-up call to understand that the enjoyment of your life rears with you and God. The situation won't get better if you allow and accept it. You have to take the stance and make a change. Time is precious and you can't let it be. It's time for me to think ahead and visualize what's in the future. Mistreatment bad disrespect dwindles down your body as a deadly drugged. Their potency infuses in your spirit and essence. Feeling a sense of validation by what others think and feel about you overshadows your own perception of yourself. Putting your faith in humankind without thinking about disappointment leans a hand to faulty understanding and often terribly hurt feelings. I am determined that I can do better, and I will do better. By ending this vicious cycle now, I will get what I want now. I will get what I know I deserve.
