Well, Christmas will be in 5 days. Retailers are stuffing Christmas down our throats every 5 mins.,even though you told yourself you would shop all crazy this year, but you still went into more debt trying to buy that perfect gift.
It seems like you think about what's happening in your life, or what has happened in your life this year. It was a struggle for you this year. Satan kept picking at you this year. Especially in the financial area.
Maybe you've been concern about the Historical Head Line News that's has happened thinking is this going to get any better or any worse?
How can I trust God with all of this happening? Will the world end this year? What is this world coming too? Why do we put so much pressure in Christmas when it's suppose to be the most wonderful time of the year, when it's the most stressful time?
Always stick to the Source. God!!! Well, first of all the world didn't end. It didn't even shake. Also you can't rely on people to make you happy. You will die unhappy just to please people. So if they don't like their gifts for Christmas tell them to buy their own!!!!!
We go all out to please others sometime when they are hard to please. 90% of my family members are hard to even speak to sometimes, let alone please.
Strength is the focus for the end of this year going into 2013. Be strong in the Lord and on the power of His might. (Ephesians 6:10) So May You Have A Merry Christmas and A Happy 2013!!!!!

The Relationship!!!!
Now I can say that I've been dating someone for 7 months now. It's still feels like we've been together for 3 weeks. I've loved before so I thought but I can say that I never knew a love like this.
I guess I feel that we are similar but not totally alike. We've been honest with each other from the beginning. I think that I've matured since my last relationship. I done some stupid stuff in the pass. I've learn not to make those same mistakes that I did back than.
This was the first time I actually waited for God to have Him choose me. Proverbs 18:22 says Who so finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtain favor of The Lord.
Single Ladies, Sometimes we want to pick our own mates without God's help. Sometimes you think if a guy talks to you for more than 10mins and if he's fine than he's the one for you.
We all know the we've thought Boaz showed up and it turned out to be Bozo. We've done the Beat Our Faces with Make Up and put on the figure flattering clothes, and put on the hottest and highest platform heels and boots ever and sit cause we couldn't even walk to attract that certain man. Don't get me wrong I will still put that make up on and strut in those heels now. Lol
Have you ever thought about focusing your time with God? He is your first husband and priority. 1 Corinthians 7:34
I remember about around this time last year. I was wondering why I didn't have anyone or any money? I ask God Why? He said you stopped putting me first I ask you to serve, and you haven't, also you are always looking for some guy and you stopped looking for me.
So I fully repented and told him that I would serve Him and focus on Him. I joined the choir and the youth department than I stopped looking for guys. Than one day at choir rehearsal this guy. Who I've known off and in for years invited me to his birthday party. I told him I would come if I had a ride there. He said he could pick me up. After the party was over he took me home, it was raining outside so we both wanted to wait until the sky was clear. We ended up talking for hours we learned that we had to much in common! The rest was history.
Did my Beau find his wife? Well, he said he did. He said it than that's it of course by faith. There's a lot to learn about each other, growing and understanding! So far I'm loving the journey.
I can't wait to find more to what's in store.

Where Do Broken Hearts Go?
I guess this next blog is inspired by that Whitney Houston song, God rest her soul. I've been kind of numb these past few days my Aunt had passed away from Cancer. I really want to complain about nothings going right, the economy sucks!! I can't find a job, I'm over 30 and still live with my parents. Blah Blah Blah!
I could talk til I'm blue but nothing will change unless I change. I would like to cry right now, and scream why?, and eat every junk food in Michigan right now. Really? What good will that do? I'll be more miserable for putting on pounds and nothing will be solved. That surely won't bring my aunt back neither. So what to do in this situation?
Then I kept thinking about this scripture in the bible Luke 4:18. Jesus was explaining that He was sent of this earth to heal the brokenhearted. Hey, I have a broken heart and I trust Jesus to heal it? Proverbs 3:5 says Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. That's it I can lean on my own understanding (mind, will and emotions). So my broken heart such go to God!!! Not to people, they can only disappoint you. Psalm 146:3-4
Wow, I actually feel a lot better writing this as I go! I have to trust God that things will get better, so they can actually get better. Okay, I'll stop my tears, cupcakes, and my screams of why? for now. Well, maybe not the cupcakes! ;)

Hot Body? or Hit Hair?
Ladies? Have you ever had a good work out and then you notice that you couldn't go anywhere else because of your hair? I've heard the quote of woman especially African American woman say that one of the major reasons why they don't exercise is because "They Don't Want To Sweat Their Hair Out".
I've also notice that (African American) woman that work out constantly wear full weaves, wigs or The Natural. Well, I don't think there's nothing wrong with that you have to look good for you. Why is it always a problem keeping our hair together plus work out at the same time?
I started working out last last with Zumba classes, I would invite woman to take the classes at first they would be like I don't want to sweat my edges or my hair out. I didn't see what the problem was until this year when I decided to go natural and also I started stepping up my work out routine, then my hair suffered more then my own body did. It's hard to keep up with your own hair sometimes.
I was even tempted to go back to my relaxer, actually I still am. Anyway, I did want to stay healthy and not be a sloppy thick girl. I have a man now, so I have to keep it tight, not just for him but for me especially.We always want to stay fit and look great a all times, but sometimes you wonder is it possible to have both, especially my chocolate drop sistas out there? I know it's possible, when without getting a fade, with I am also tempted to do.
I like Afro's, I really do, but I don't want to worry about developing one when I work out, especially when I took 2 hours to straightening my hair, I know I'm not the only one that feel this way, right? I think it's still necessary to exercise, Hit Hair or Not!!!
So ladies, what's your input of this topic?

Debt!
I have to admit something. I had registered for the Publisher's Clearing House for a couple of months now to win money. Now a days it's seem's like I'm not the only one that wants to win money.
A week or two ago I've witness people that never played a lottery number has played for the "Mega Millions". Everyone wants and needs a break.
Unemployment is at a all time high especially in Michigan. Gas prices are ridiculous. Everything including groceries have went up in price. Trying to keep up with monthly bills. So I can see why people want a break.
But the major reason why people need a break is to get out of DEBT! Debt can take a toll on not just your finances but into your personal life. It causes stress. It can take a toll on you mentally, emotionally, physically and even spiritually.
Debt can ruin relationships like Friendships, Family, and definitely Marriages! Some times you feel like no matter what you do your debt is here to stay.
When you get that Credit Card you become naive about you have all the time in the world to pay that bill off. Until you find yourself in a situation you can't get out of.
We ( including me) thought that debt was there to help us to get what we want. The buy now, pay it back later. Now your paying for it alright with interest and other fees.
Was this system created to help us to get what we needed in order to get by? Or did it create a false sense of hope to make us think that we could live above our means and get away with it.
I tell can tell you now that the debt that I have have is an official burden. I hate putting my business out there by now I'm in collections of a debt I can't afford to pay in the first place.
Can this be solved? I believe so, through a job, hard work, and prayer is a guarantee. Loans and Consolidations I feel usually add to the problem. Stop using Credit Cards and Loans to live above your means. If you don't have the money for it. Guess What??? DON'T BUY IT!!!!
I know life can get crazy sometimes, but realize that you can have fun, look good, and go places for less. It takes you out of your comfort zone, but it's time to find new adventures to your price range.
It Can Be Done!! Let's help each other fix better solutions to end DEBT once and for all. Money Management Courses, Websites, and Books. Folks like Dave Ramsey, Dorethia Conner, and many others that teach about managing your money better.
Definitely create a BUDGET! Yeah, I say it A BUDGET!! Let's be real no one likes a budget because it usually tells you the truth about how much money you really have. Scary sight to see. But in order to become and to stay debt free it must be done.

Choice
Everyone makes choices everyday. From the time you wake up to the time you go to bed. By the time you were born til now. Really, most of us had a choice by the time you left home til now. There are minor choices that we make everyday like taking a shower, brushing your teeth to choices of what to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
There are major choices to what college you want to attend to who you want to marry.Choices are what shapes us as human beings. Choices are a major part of our lives!
Some of us have made better choices than others, and Some of us have not made the best choices for ourselves than others. Some of us just excepted the consequences of our choices have no desire to change. Some of us have regret the choices that we've made, live with shame and condemnation don't know how to change.
Choices can stick with us for the rest of our lives, it can help and hurt ourselves. It can also help and hurt others as well. It can lead you into wherever you want to go in life. Choices are a major gift that God has given unto us. It helps us as individuals, it helps as to remain individuals.
Some choices we have regretted but we have to ability to change the choices that we have made. We can make a choice to do what's right and what's wrong. We can choose to fight or walk away!!!
We have choices from learning and growing as a human being. So try to make good choices in your life, if you've made some bad choices know that you can change, and start making good ones!!!!!It's Your Choice!!! Use It!!!!!

From My Heart!
I know I haven't written a blog in like forever and there are so many things to share. How things are right now. How my life is just so different but not different. How my nephew is growing up so fast, and how things can turn from good to bad to worse to good again. How the older you get the more concern you are for yourself and for others around you.
Life can go in ways you never expect it. You can make mistakes then learn and correct them. You can charge a situation just by doing something that you're always feared or something that was you last resulted to do, and when it's over you find out, it wasn't as bad as you expected it to be!
You can connected with people that you can learn from each day. You can take life and have fun with it or sit and regret and become bitter. Choices are the main objected with us. Goodness and Kindness is what opens doors to things that you never expected, great things. Trust me that add a whole lot of you let it.
Learning from one another can be very challenging by it can be one of the greatest experiences we could ever have. I hope someone understands this because, it's coming from the heart!! lol
