Be Transformed By The Renewing of Your Mind

God loves you in spite of your past. Have the courage to forgive yourself even when others reminisce on your pain and short comings.

There has been times in my life when I should have just shut up. But there's freedom in speaking out about something that tugs on you heart. When you keep secrets hinder inside of you, it eats away at your conscious. Satan loves to keep you held hostage to your secrets. But be bold enough to share what's in your heart. Honestly is better than judgment. Who the on sets FREE is free indeed. John 8

Just realized that today is Sibling Day????? um ok...lol Well It's my birthday and it brought me great joy to think my brother Westley on today.

Most of the people in my nuclear family have died, leaving me as my mother's only child. It was hard growing up with siblings my whole life and by the age of 19....well, it was only me and my mother. Today I'm grateful for my children and to have a wonderful husband who's a great father. He met me when I was a widow with three kids and stuck by me as I healed.
