Standing Up for Yourself!  So in my last blog, I talked about having a boldness for God. That is so important when it comes to us being chirstians. We need to be able to stand boldly for God when things are not right.  But one thing that I realized, the hard way, was how hard it is to have boldness when it comes to oneself. Now I am not saying that this is every Christian man or woman, but I have noticed that sometimes it is hard for others to stand up for themselves. I have struggled with that for years. I know in the past when I stood up for myself,  I would get so mad and angry and I was not acting Godly at all. I would curse and just act like I was just  a crazy person.   This happened when I was pregnant with my oldest son Donovan. I had a boss who was very nasty and very ugly. One day I did not have a ride to work because my husband was stuck at work and could not get off, ( he sold cars at the time). Well I called up to my job to let them know what w...

    One thing that frighten me the most when I started blogging and doing social media was the way I came across to other people. I am already a shy person, so when I decided to start sharing a piece of myself a few years back I was scared.   I saw how people would respond to others on their social media platform. Some people were loving, and kind while others were judgmental and negative.    But the one thing that I learned from doing this for so long, was I needed to be myself. It was one thing for me to try to be what others wanted me to be, but I had to learn that I was not being trueful to myself.    See, when I make the choice to share my life, I was trying to be like others that I saw on the internet. And to be honest, I mimic some of the things that I saw others do thinking that I would get the same response that they were receiving from others. I quickly learned that that was not the approach that I needed to take.    Then I had to t...

  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...
