I Still Believe In Love

At 53 years old you would think I should be married, or have been married at least once. Well that is not that is not the case for me and I know there were those from my past who wanted to marry me, but I did not want to settle. I always wanted to be married and have four children. I've never been married and I have one son!

I'm so grateful to be a mom, and while I have just one child I have been a mother figure to many. Everything in God's time and I know that not everyone will be married in this lifetime, but I don't believe that is my fate. I believe God has the perfect man for me, who loves, believes, and lives for Christ! I believe we will serve side by side in ministry and our love will be forever! As for the four children, we can adopt and you never know. God is able and He is not in a box.

I still believe in LOVE.

Battling Insecurity

Friends, family, and associates have always viewed me as someone with great confidence and strength. Being the youngest of four siblings, I often found myself being protected and somewhat catered to by them. However, it really was their unconditional love for me, and I see that now. The same love Jesus has for us! According to 1 Corinthians 13:7 7 “It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” I would always try to get away from them thinking they are trying to be in my business; you see I wanted to be independent. While trying to be independent, I suffered with feeling insecure and inadequate.

Comments people made to me influenced those insecurities. Insecure about my body shape, my complexion, and my confidence. I strive for people to know the heart of me. We often put on a defense or guard to protect ourselves from being hurt. However, while we guard our hearts, God is protecting us and giving us a discerning spirit to recognize the enemy!

In 2 Timothy 1:7 He has not given us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power , love, and a sound mind. God makes us who we are and we are wonderful in His eyes! He makes no mistakes. So, love God and follow His lead, learn to love yourself and love others!

You Are Worth It!

Healthcare is NOT a priority for this country. There are countless people who are suffering with ailments and diseases literally fighting for their lives. What kind of world are we living in that everyone cannot get (afford) healthcare insurance? When we do it’s funded through non profits that run out of money to help those in dire need! I’ve seen friends suffer with cancer, heart disease and diabetes, countless friends with health issues and their families unable to afford insurance.

My God many times people have to make a choice to eat or get insurance, keep a roof over our heads or feed our families...what about health insurance...what ABOUT human compassion! Where’s the love.. Eat healthy , exercise, and live longer. Okay so make food affordable so we can get the best quality or show us how to grow our own food. I am venting but this is clearly an alarming issue we deal with in all of our families.

We have to adjust our schedules to prepare our meals, exercise, work, and get our spiritual food. I need a new plan to manage a demanding schedule but I am worth it and so are you!
