Touched by an Angel

-
As a follow up to the last post about my mother's cancer journey, she is doing great.  I've said from the start that she had been touched by God in this situation and she truly has.  Her follow up PET scan revealed that while the cancer isnt gone, she has substantially improved. Now, I don't know what exactly that means except that she's getting better. Isn't that all that matters? She has to compelete two more chemo traetments and then have another scan and treatment will be discussed at that point. This is really the best case scenario, again!

God is good, ALL THE TIME!!!!

Our Subconcious Greed

-
I realized this morning that we as Americans are greedy in nature. Some of you may be thinking otherwise, but our greed is often hidden. We always strive for more, we always want more but rarely give. We are all subconciously greedy.  We tell family and friends that we do not have anything to give when they are in need.  Now, you and I both know that's not the truth.  We simply just don't want to give. Furthermore, many of us don't know how to give. I believe it's time to stop asking, stop wanting, and stop pleading for more.  We should be thankful for all that we have and even what we do not.  Not having much made me grateful for the things I did have.  It made me work harder to earn the things I wanted. It made appreciate the value, no matter how little, these things hold.  Greed does not come with only tangible items such as money and belongings. We also tend to be greedy in our relationships.  It is always about us.  The wedding is about the bride, Sweetest Day abou

Scattered Thoughts

-
Over this holiday I have had the opportunity to truly reflect on some important issues.  I look at how far I have come and can say I have definitely overcome large hurdles. I have managed to successfully get out of an alcohol ridden home and have overcome multiple levels of abuse. The greatest abuse of all is self abuse.  When you begin to believe that the negativity surrounding you is all there is to life, you lose a large part of your heart, your humanity.  These challenges were nothing more that a bump in my road. I stood strong and passed through to a smoother journey.  But know I look and I see that maybe I'm not doing as great as I thought.  Financial struggles continue to surmount, and raising my child differently that I was raised has posed some new obstacles in my way.  In my attempts to remain strong I see myself shedding new layers and new tears. I have somehow grown to accept the cards I have been dealt rather than reshuffling the deck. So what has changed? What has mad

Reuniting and It Feels So......

-
For many years I searched for my father.  I searched online, I sent emails, snail mail with pictures of myself to people that I thought could be my father. I even went as far as stopping complete strangers who resembled the picture I had of him. I put together a group of friends and we called every person with his last name in the white pages. One of the letters I sent was returned about two months later. Little did I know I would eventually meet my father at that same address. In 2004 I received a call from a very good friend telling me she had news about my father.  I immediately began to tremble and asked, "Is he dead?" When Nene told me she found him, I screamed!  I was so excited.  This was truly a remarkable and definitely memorable moment in life.  In just a matter of hours I would finally meet him. I suddenly felt complete. So, she picked me up and we headed out.  We went to my grandmothers house ( the address I had previously sent a letter to).  There she showed me f
