IT'S GETTING SERIOUS.......
OH MY GOSH, I KNOW. IT'S been a long time since I've written anything. Not that I haven't had anything to write,think through, or to pick apart. Its just been so much that Child.... I just didn't know where to begin. But If I dont know anything its time out for being passive. I never asked, or wanted to be a leader. I never expected to be called to be a Minister. I just wanted to live a good clean saved life. It was all very scary and overwelhming in the beginning and sometimes it still is. I love to talk, but to be getting up in front of a group of people talking and them expecting, listening and waiting on you to say something that's going to hit the nail on the head for them? That's another story that is pressure and responsibility. And in life if there's something that we prefer not to do because we think its not us. We just quit and try something else! But when God calls you, we can't run. Because no matter what you do you're going to either BE the successful Minister, or you're going to BE The Called Minister that was never chosen . Either way you still get judged as a Minister and not a lay member? I'd say that's pretty tough. Life is so hard and boy sometimes you just want to whine yourself through it, but the fact is, it does nothing but waste time and irritate the heck out of those around you because they don't want to hear it. People have their own problems and frustrations and they are looking for someone to shine a little happiness or light on them. A weak person is despised, not listened to and they are not respected. If we're going to be anybody in God, and of any use to anyone we're going to have to take care of business. And right now I am so motivated to just "do" instead of talking. God is watching and he's about to make a serious move. I can feel it and I can't miss this! I won't miss it!

Anniversary
This week my husband and I celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary. I really can't beleive its been that long, it doesn't feel like it. We've had so much fun and we've learned so much about each other. I love my husband so much and I thank God that he didn't see me with anyone else but him. We've been through so many things in these 9 years and the way God has blessed us to make it through is just amazing and we know it was only him. It didn't take us long to learn how one another ticked and from our 2nd year on we made it our business to treat one another with respect and love. We'
ve had a really good marriage. And I know what helped us is that we learned in the first year that we were on the same team, that we have nothing to prove to each other, and we learned to surrender to each other and God. In a relationship when two people seek to obey God and please him everything else falls in place. There's is no way that you're being obedient to God when you're holding grudges and continue to build more grudges on top of that in a marriage.Also we learned to respect each other, I think we can get to non chalant when it concerns our spouses and everthing becomes too common. But it just shouldn't be that you're going to give someone that you don't share your bed with every night more respect than your spouse. This is the person you loved enough to make a vow before God with! Respect is very important and we should consider how it would make us feel to be disrespected. Darius and I have had our disagreements and arguements but we never let them take root and grow. We deal with everything as it comes and then we moved on to the things in our lives that are more important. Thank you some much God for blessing us to grasp the basic concept of what a real marriage should consist of.

YOU BETTER DO SOMETHING...OR YOU'LL NEVER GET WHAT YOU WANT!
WOW! WE ARE NOW INTO THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2006! Time is definitely not waiting on any of us, and if anything it seem to be in fast forward. I had a lot of goals set for the first quarter of this year, a few of them(including one major goal) did not get accomplish. Ugggggggggggggh! I get so frustrated with myself sometimes. I want to blame some of this on lack of finances but I'm tired of excuses regardless of how legitiment they may be? So what, I don't have the money I think I need to get something accomplished. I'm sure if I took the time to be more creative or worked harder in some areas or maybe even prayed the right prayers these things would've gotten accomplished. God has proven that he does not need "money" to work, even though we continue to act like nothing can be done unless we have tons of it. Don't get me wrong money is good, we do need money, its very convenient, however we can cripple ourselves and flush our dreams down the toilet if and when we decide we can't do a thing because we don't have the funds. This excuse can keep a person a bay for their entire life! And if you let it, it will cause you to never do anything. Because the truth is even when you get money, you'll find a need for even more money! There's always something bigger or greater that we push for and in most cases money would make it a lot easier to accomplish. But I am convinced that I better do something regardless of how much money I don't have because time and life is not worried about what my excuses are. Time has one single command from God and that is to keep going! God require things of us, our life demand certain things of us, our family, friends and circumstances all require that we "get it done" and at the end of the day, week, month, or year no excuse will hold up if we don't. I've learned this if nothing else, all the details of a thing doesn't matter as much as the final result.... did you fail or did you succeed, bottom line! It's time that we all do something to become what we've always dreamed of being and what God has equipped us to be for him, because if we continue to wait on "The right time" i.e. when its more convient or we have more money, we're going to live and die with regrets!
