The Strong...

They say only the Strong Survive ... By the way who are "they" anyway ?  Just curious!
This sentence right here creates the idea that those who are strong never need strength. Being strong often means being hurt, because you forget about self and stand in the gap for others. This position is not always chosen can be placed upon a person unwillingly. You wear your poker face  when you need to get the job done but deep inside your hurting. Walls of pain built up to protect you. The strong come off as not being phased by anything. Never need assistance never need an encouraging word. I'm hear to tell you that's so drastically wrong. Behind that bright smile there a aching to be given what you are giving out to others. There a desire to often quit because why do I have to be the strong one the responsible one all the time. There's a misconception because things get handled I don't need assistance. Because I don't mind helping lets just pile the work up. Because you always seem to bounce back, have a listening ear, or an encouraging word. Your Fine....

 I found the heart of a strong person is so big and so fragile at the same time. It took many situations to build that exterior many layers of hurt ,disappointment, no one to depend on. It took so much to build this person into the strong dependable straight forward loving giving person that they are. Don't take the strong for granite. Know that they need just as much love and assistance as the next person. We all go through things we all would benefit from a kind gesture or helping hand. They may not look like it may be hesitant to receive it but if you can, try your very best to let them know there appreciated. 
If that strong person is you I commended you ! I appreciate you I know how it is to be in your position. You are wonderful and a blessing to those who don't hold the strength determination, and caring nature that you do! Remember it's ok to choose you sometimes! Only Survivors survive ! Don't forget about the Strong!

Falling can be one missed step away ...... part 2

The word Empty is a small word but it holds much power. Too be empty is too not be full ... Empty also can mean to be filled with. Opening my eyes doesn't seem to feel the same anymore, the dread of the unknown almost makes me want to stay asleep. I never thought that I could ever be this low. I never thought the the insecurity and the feeling of never fitting in would creep up on me in my adult life. You see things in life that are meant to bring you down will tap on you discreetly almost subliminally. They continue to hit you in the same spot over and over again, just like a construction worker who needs to break down a wall. The construction worker will target the weakest point to gain access, and begin there demolition focused on that point. So here I am empty, like a car that has run out of gas (which ironically enough recently happened too me lol ugh ). If you have ever ran out of gas you know that the vehicle is at its low point and is unable to function. It has pulled o...

"The Pull"

There is a Devine Purpose for each and Everyone of us. As I sit and reflect over my life there's one identifiable feeling I can remember. It was that pull inside of me that I had something significant to do! You may wonder have I ever felt "the pull? Purpose is something we are born with it is in your genetic makeup. God was so strategic so detailed to build each and every person in this world as and individual fearfully and wonderfully made. I'm in awe when I think about how each and every person in this world was given a gift all there own and no 2 people have the same gift. How awesome is that! Even if you don't see your gift or don't under stand know that it is there. God didn't run out of promise while creating you he gave it equally so no need to worry he blessed you too.   The best way I can describe the pull is to say it's a feeling almost a knowing  Deep down with in that tells you there's more! It's the knowing that  you have greatness in ...

A Long Walk

I was sitting at home the other day just thinking about how blessed I am. I was remembering a time when things weren't as peaceful when thing were confusing and I didn't know when they were going to be ok. All I can do is smile and thank God. The walk I have come from was a long one but with him I made it! I'm going to let you in on a little of my walk and hopefully it will save you some of the steps in your walk. Before I met my wonderful husband I had been single for about 6 years. Durning that time I did some dating a lot of dating lol but my main focus was me and my future. I became one of those independent woman who worked hard spoiled myself and conquered many things. Now I also became a bit of a control freak. My atmosphere had been set the way I wanted it, which was free from any type of possible threat. I had hardened my heart and didnt even realize it because my little inner circle was fine. Guys I dated that didn't fit into my world I dismissed with the quick...
