A's Happiness Blogs

It is time for us to stop talking about what we are going to do for God, and just do it! For over a year, God has been dealing with me on several things that he has placed in my life to do. And for over a year, I would start it, then I would stop it, then I would start it again, then I would stop it..again. This has become a cycle of stopping and starting things that God has placed in my life to do. But why am I stuck in this continuous cycle you may ask. Well it is simple. See, For the longest time, I have let things come in the way of me doing what God has placed in my  life to do.  See, I was letting fear control me. I was afraid to take a step of faith because I was unsure of the outcome. I was not putting my trust in God. 2 Corinthians 5:7 “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” What does that mean? It is simple. That means that we do what God told us to do, not knowing the outcome, not knowing what way God is going to take us, we just operate in faith knowing that God is g...

You know, the past week has been one of the most trying times for me and my family. We had to go through the most emotional weeks that we have ever had. To be honest, I thought I was going to go insane for a while. I wanted to pray, but I found myself in a state of not knowing what to pray, or even how to pray for the situation.   It was hard. I called one of the leaders of the women Bible study group that I attend, and she prayed over me. That gave me peace, but I was still on edge about what I was going through. I had a very hard time expressing my feelings. I kept them inside because I honestly didn't know how to feel.  But then the Lord had to show me something. He had to show me who he was. I mean, sure I know who God is, and I know what he can do in certain situations.  I know what the bible says about having faith and I have done a lot of blogs and videos on having faith that I should not have a problem with anything.  But when God puts you in a position ...

This will be one of the shortest blogs that I write. But something happened that made me a proud mother today, and it showed me I was doing something right.     As I am resting up for work tonight, my 7-year-old son Jack came to my room to talk to me.    Now a few days ago, I had a conversation with my children about how I will be traveling for work and that I would be gone a few days out the week. I was honest with them, I told them I was nervous because I never done this type of thing before, and I never been away from them, but I was excited at the same time because it was a new opportunity for me to do something different.      So, as I am laying on my bed today Jack comes in my room as he always does with a smile on his face to check on me. Him and my 4-year-old son, Gavin sat on my bed, and he said:  “Mama are you nervous to leave for your job in a new city?”     I told him I was nervous, but it was going to be ok, I knew God ...

Back in May of this year, me and my husband took a trip for our 14-year wedding anniversary. We went to Virginia Beach like we do every year for our anniversary.    I remember this trip, because it was at a time in my life where I did not know how I was going to make it. It was hard for me because I felt lost.   This was a chapter in my life where my faith was not strong. I had so much going on and I did not know if I was coming or going. I was just getting over Covid 19 and my relationship with my husband was not the best.    But I knew I was beginning a journey that I have never been on with God, and it was scary. He was telling me what he wanted me to do, and I questioned him every step of the way.    Sure, I was telling everybody through my inspirational videos to have faith and let God show them what to do, but my life was a mess, and I could not give myself whole heartly to God.   One of the things I question the most was why me? Why would y...

  Know your Worth     As a little girl growing up in North Carolina, I have always had a thought of who I am and who I wanted to be when I grew up.   I knew I wanted to be in the nursing field, and I knew I wanted to go into the military. That was my dream to wear an Air Force or Navy uniform. I knew I would look good in one of those.   But as I got older, I found myself letting others dictate to me how I was going to live my life and who I was going to become. It took me a long time to realize that I needed to change the way I saw myself.      For a long time, I did not know my worth.      The meaning of Knowing Your Worth.  You may be asking yourself,    “What does know my worth means?”     Well, I am glad you ask.    Knowing your worth simply means how you value yourself, or how you see yourself NO MATTER how others may value you.    Often, we let people have a say so in who we are and...

                                                                      Purpose for Your Life This is the second time I have written this blog. The first time, I sat down, typed out my though and I thought I was finished with it.  It took me over a week to write and I felt like I was at a standstill, because I kept changing it. Just as soon as I thought I was done with it and was ready to post it, I lost it because I did not know what I was doing with my new computer. I got discouraged and upset and I wanted to give up. But I knew I wanted to get this blog written and I refuse to let anything stop me.  It has been a while since I posted a blog. About two months to be exact. I have been trying to sit at my computer and figure out just what it is that I want to post. Not just want to post but...
