Today was a great day, i went to church with a friend of mine and we both left that service with a word to hold on to until next Sunday. In fact he was so excited I
gave him some space on my blog today. The lord is truly at work..... Enjoy!
(Talk about getting the week off to a good start. I went to church with my friend this past weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed the service. The church had a guest speaker for their "Women's Day". Now most preachers have a set sermon that they preach from, but this time was different. She had a prepared sermon but felt led by the spirit to speak on something different and I'm so glad she did. I felt as if some of the things that she spoke on applied to me. She made some very important comments about not giving up, staying the course & God answering prayers. I know God answers prayers. I prayed for so much but never really saw anything happen, so I thought. God doesn't answer us when we "want" but more so when we "need". I prayed for an end to the madness that I've been experiencing. After not seeing any end I simply asked the Lord to just give me a day of peace & happy feelings. Well today my prayer was answered. Not when I wanted it to be but when it was needed. Hearing the message today & sharing this experience with my friend gave me a new found hope, a new found joy. It gave me a my day of peace. I must stay focused & on course. This race is far from over, I got to lace up my running shoes. Can't nobody do me like Jesus!)
AMEN!!! :-)

Insecurities
sometimes I let my insecurities get the best of me. I find myself having quiet moments where everything stands out to me.
I'm not pretty enough
I'm fat
my eyes are not evenly spaced out
I wish I had perfect teeth
The list can go on and on. Why do we do this to ourselves? And by who's standards are we to be judged at what is attractive and what isn't? Its hard to stay on track sometimes and even harder to overcome comments people make about you or someone you identify with.
Also when it comes to relationships, the insecurity moments play a major role in happiness. I find myself at times thinking too much into things, sometimes feeling the guy is doing something wrong or not being faithful due to insecurity's and past experiences.
I know sometimes its hard to overcome but I'm learning a little each day to stay focused on me and not let those moments take control.

One of my QOD
From time to time I post thought provoking, conversation starters on my social networking sites. This was one I posted on my Facebook page and received some interesting feedback. I say my questions are general but we all know they come from life experiences, specifically my life….
So my question was this “ do you think a long term relationship/marriage can last if you just got out of a long term relationship/marriage?”
The responses I received were expected but its funny how different men and women think. As you can probably guess all of the women said no, it’s not likely it will work out. The person that was in the relationship needs time to heal and prepare themselves for the next relationship.
And all of my men said yes it can work, some gave examples of how it did work for them and what the heck do they need to heal for? Most likely the relationship was over and they became detached before the break up became official.
Overall, a very interesting conversation came from that status. Now in my situation I would love to think this guy is ready for another serious relationship but through conversation and seeing some of his actions this man is still hurt, and re living the past. The pain of a woman that he used to love hurting him is too much to let go. And that is what’s stopping him from being happy with someone who really cares.

It's May???
Can’t believe its May already, it seems like yesterday we celebrated the New Year and welcomed 2011. Well as you all can tell by the time frame between my Last post and this one I haven’t been very motivated to write lately. With so much going on who has time to write? I look at most of the other blogs I follow and they too have had long periods of time between post. I guess it’s just that time of year.
