New Year, New Life

I'm finding out that staying on track of my blogs are much more of a challenge than I initially thought. But oh how much more refreshed I am when I write down what is going on in this head of mine. Again, I will try to do better. It is really for my own release so I can't really complain, but if anyone else is blessed by my ramblings then it makes it that much better.


I haven't posted in this blog since last year and so much has happened since then. I turned another year older, and now I am experiencing the joys of being pregnant and the all that comes with it. I must say that this is an interesting experience for me thus far. I have never been pregnant before so I have no idea what to expect. I think I can truthfully say that I am still in a pseudo shock state. I know that nowadays I am extremely tired and food isn't all that appealing to me, but sometimes I still question - Am I Really Pregnant? I suppose this is all normal and I can't wait to see the first ultrasound. We still have our hopes up that it will be twins. If not, we are still blessed beyond measure that God saw fit that we were capable of becoming parents right now. When anxiety tries to get the best of me, I just have to remember that God has given us this vision, so He will also make provision for every need that we have.


It's amazing that when I stop to think about all God has done in the past, what we are facing right now doesn't seem so much. I know that we have a house to sell in Nashville in this crazy market, we are in the process of moving from our house here in FL, my husband is traveling extensively, I'm pregnant, and the bills don't seem to stop coming in. Oh, you have to love live!! In the midst of all of that, we are both healthy, we don't miss a meal, we are fortunate to pay all of our bills on time every month, I have a great support system while Kwesi is gone, we have health insurance, and we both have good jobs. Funny how when you put it all into perspective, we aren't doing all that bad!!

Most Important Things

It's interesting that this past weekend I have learned a lot about myself and about my family. I have learned that my family does not dictate how I have to act or how I have to be. Also, that I am a lot stronger than what I think I am. God does not give us the luxury of choosing our families, however He does give us the grace to be able to walk through this life victoriously. Meaning I don't have to live my life in bitterness over offenses that have happened years ago in the past. I don't have to compare myself to anyone. God uniquely created me and I don't have to try to live up to someone else's expectations of me.

It is pure joy that I don't have to live under that pressure. It makes me think of the things that I want and don't want to pass on to my children. Hmmm....I guess that is why the bible speaks so much about love and what that actually means. I just pray that I continually grow in love and in wisdom.

God Bless

1st Day

Okay, so I finally decided to jump on the bandwagon and start a blog. Heck, I think about so many things that I want to talk about, having countless conversations with myself...LOL!! Now someone might actually read my thoughts on the web and confirm that I am not crazy :-) So I will keep it short and sweet today as I start this journey. Who knows how this will turn out? But I would like to chronicle my life lessons and the things I am experiencing, and maybe I can help someone else out in the process, or they can possibly help me.

So God bless!!

Living, Loving, Lauging, Learning

Growing into the person God had in mind for me to be, what a thought...
