Living My Crazy Best Life

MY SON PATRICK PLAYS THE TRUMPET I have 3 beautiful children. My oldest son is Elijah, then there is my daughter Lyric and then our youngest child, Patrick. Patrick is currently in the eighth grade. He plays the trumpet and each time I hear him play, I shed a tear. Why do I cry you ask? I cry because he truly enjoys playing it and it shows in every note that he plays. Seriously..... HE LOVES TO PLAY THE TRUMPET LOVE TO HEAR HIM PLAY                                                LOVE TO HEAR HIM PLAY PATRICK PLAYING THE TRUMPET We never have to force him to practice. He instantly picks it up and plays for hours at a time. When he first started playing in the third grade, he was less than enthusiastic (Smile) He wanted to play the drums. I mean it was all he talked about. His teacher at the time convinced him to try the trumpet. My baby tried it and with some slight hesitation began to play. From the very start we knew that he was gifted. All

GRIEF IS NOT PRETTY  I have never been one to express grief well. I try to be as strong as possible for those around me, but no one is perfect! Although love is easy for me to express, GRIEF is one of those emotions that I bottle up and keep to myself. When my PRECIOUS mother died, I realized that I was not functioning at my best level. I had so much sadness in my heart and no way to express it.   Who would I talk to?                                                What would I say? MY FAITH IN GOD GOT ME THROUGH THE DIFFICULT TIMES I did not know how to talk to my husband about her. Her death essentially paralyzed me and I could not breathe. I just thought that he would not understand what I was feeling. I found it difficult to share what I felt. Boy was I wrong! My husband Patrick was wonderful and he talked with me and held me when I really needed it.... But in spite of his loving and generous spirit, I was still in a dark place. I was sti

  STOP AND PRAY FOR GOD’S WISDOM... What are you doing right now? are you too busy to pray? of course not...Let's take a few moments and pray for God's wisdom. It is in those special alone moments wit h God when we receive the direction we need in life. If you are quiet enough you will be blessed to hear his word and find exactly what you are searching for.                               STOP AND PRAY                                           STOP AND PRAY Take a moment and PRAY for God's wisdom Do you stop and pray for God’s wisdom? If not, don’t worry lots of us find it hard to pray…We have to MAKE TIME TO PRAY. Many times we are RUNNING AROUND in a hurry and not taking a few moments to TALK….A few moments to REFLECT….A few moments to PRAY…..  NEVER STOP PRAYING! As mother’s we have to MAKE TIME to pray for God's wisdom... We can not allow the DISTRACTIONS of the world to shut us down….FIND SOME TIME Every day to pray for

Put all things into perspective and appreciate the simple things...... I watched the sun rise this morning. It was just so beautiful and so calming....I had a lot to contemplate this morning and so many decisions to make.... Thankful to God for something so beautiful to see first thing in the morning....... I said a prayer and decided that this was the perfect time to have a talk with God. Over the years I have often turned to God in dire situations. I have stayed close to him and kept the faith.                                                   CHOOSE JOY                                                                   CHOOSE JOY  Today is no different than any other day except watching the sun rise produced a very tranquil feeling and made me feel closer than ever to God. As you go through your day you have to be careful. There will be many people and many situations that will arise that will try to break you down. Instead of listening t

YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK There is a lot going on when you step out of the door every morning…..You have the kids, a mortgage, a boss that is from another planet or maybe a marriage that is falling apart…I want for you to believe this morning that God will LIFT ALL OF THE WEIGHT off of your shoulders and make you stronger than you have ever imagined…   I want for you to f ace your troubles today with a NEW CONFIDENCE.… DO NOT GIVE UP…. God is watching over you and he is laying a little on you at a time… He is slowly making you a better person and believe it or not, you are stronger than you think…. I pray this morning that your burdens will never be so deep or your faith so low, that you can't go on…. HOLD YOUR HEAD UP….. You only need to bear the burdens RIGHT NOW at this appointed time……BUT continue to TRUST IN GOD. Remember Everyone to keep your head up. You are strong, vibrant and this is your time and season. I am praying for each and

ARE YOU STUCK IN A STATE OF BITTERNESS? I was once lost, but now I am found. I really love that song. It reminds me of my maternal grandmother Bernice. She has been gone for a lot of years but some of her life lessons have surfaced in my own life through the years...My grandmother told me to always get rid of hatred and bad feelings and she also told me that bitterness would destroy my spirit....  NO MORE ANGER                                                               NO MORE ANGER  My grandmother was so right. If you are bitter and you stay there in the pain and hurt, it will cause you so much unhappiness and sadness. Trust me, You will not even recognize your former self. When you get to such a low place, you have to reach out to God. Cry out to him.. I know that it may be scary, but you have to trust in God.....Trust him...And along the way you have to ask God to order your steps. Talk to him RIGHT NOW!
