Finding Yourself

One of the most devastating and uneasy place to be in yourself is lost ( not knowing who you are in the world) we all go through it at one point of our lives. 

When you know who you are and your purpose in LIFE you can then make a better life for your children... A happy mommy makes a happy family :) ask God what your purpose is on this earth because guess what you have purpose you are not just here to take up space but you are here to be used by God if you so choose to do so... 

Children, family, work, ministry, school can comsume us and before you know it we can get lost in these things and wake up one morning and want to throw in towel and give it all up just to do you...

But, guess what you can't do that WHY because your family etc depends on you! So we as mothers have to do whatever we can to make us happy. What are somethings we can do? Find out what makes YOU happy what do you enjoy doing? Movies, reading, singing, going out, mani & pedi etc.... Whatever you enjoy whatever brings a smile to your face take some time out by yourself and make YOU HAPPY!!! 

Let Go and Let God!

It's time for you to LET GO of the past, LET GO of people who have done you wrong, LET GO of the things and people who do not mean you any good...IT's TIME!

We as mothers as women tend to hold on to past relationships even our childrens father(s). Holding on sometimes maybe something you don't want to do because you want to move on with your life but yet this one person may still have a hold on to you. It's called a SOUL tie... What is a soul tie? From my perspective once you have slept with someone repeatly and have given them your heart you have now entered into a SOUL tie with that person. I believe this is the reason why we may move on with our lives but we are still connected, still in love, still have feelings for our childrens father. No it isn't right but what do you do when you feel like no one understands where your coming from? It's not just that I may have a soul tie with this person but I have a child(ren) with this person which makes the situation even harder... You may even have put that guy so far in the back of your mind that you don't even think about him as much until he walks back into your life and your confused about the things you are feeling...

Feelings are temporary and can have your mind so clouded to where you are unable to even think straight sometimes... What do you do? Its always good to have a friend someone who you can confide in, someone who will not judge you, someone who can pray you through when you feel like you are unable to pray yourself through. If it did not work the first time chances are the second, third time it won't work. 

When you are in a dark place, emotions are everywhere, nothing you do is working, all you seem to think about it is how to make it work because the last thing didn't.... God is telling you LET GO! It's time, yes it's hard but it is a move/decision YOU have to make between you and God. It's not easy and you can't handle it on your own. So PRAY PRAY PRAY IT'S TIME TO LET GO AND LET GOD!

Empowered Mothers

Are you an empowered mother?... What is an empowered mother?... Empowered means: To give power or authority

As mothers and children of God we must know the power that lies within us while using the authority that God has given us. Being a mother rather single or married has its challenges rather you have one child or 5 children. We as mothers wear different hats we are students, stay at home moms, working full time, being soccer moms if you will etc...

Being an empowered mother is out of your own WILL! You can't be an empowered mother always complaining about the things you have to do in LIFE! US mothers have to learn how to give over our problems and situations to the Lord because we can't handle them on our own, this is the reason why we lose sleep, don't eat and block ourseleves out from the world. 

It is okay to cry and be down for awhile but YOU need to pick yourself up dust yourself off wipe your tears away put a smile on your face and keep moving forward your life and your families lives depend on it!!!

Mothers need a safe haven someone (friend, pastor, mentor) to talk too or a group of friends you can confide in about certain situations and won't stay there with you but encourage you when you feel like you cant do it yourself and help pick you UP! Everything is not ment for everyone to know take it to the Lord in prayer!
