Reflection


From time to time I like to do some soul searching and self reflecting. Especially when it comes to relationships or lack thereof.  I acknowledge my flaws and admit to them then seek some much needed feedback from people. Some are friends I know dearly and others may be associated with comments from a post in a face book group or just conversation with mutual friends of friends.
No matter where my feedback comes from I try my best not to get defensive or take the feedback in the wrong way. I enjoy constructive criticism because it only makes me better at being the best me I can be.

Through my feedback it has come cross that I am  “mean” “selfish” “lazy” and lets not forget “spoiled“. All this time I thought that I was the nicest, most giving and hard working. Guess not in the opinion of these situations that I have been called out on.  Its all good because even though my view is different, I can totally see what folks are referring to when those negative words come up.

I’m still a work in progress….to be continued…

Searching for a home so my spirit can grow.



It doesn’t have to be a huge home with skylights and stadium seating, it doesn’t have to have network cameras recording and streaming live from 5 locations and it doesn’t have to have the most popular pastor around.

All it has to have is genuine people who believe, understand and can convey Gods message. 

The churches that I have been to in the past made me feel like I was just a body in a seat sometimes.  No one knew if I missed a Sunday or if I came every Sunday. I want a home where I can walk in and have the good hug and hello from a person who knows my name or at least remembers my face.It feels good to be noticed and makes you want to continue to come back.

I want a bible based church where the focus is not on the man reading the word but on the man behind the word.  The search is on to find that right fit for me, and if you have any suggestions I would love to visit your place of worship.

My spirit is hungry and wants to be fed so that it can grow.
