Painful Situations

In most movies and shows even, they depict these scenarios where the family comes together and helps each other through the toughest of situations.  Sometimes the family is causing the issues and realizes their wrong doings and acknowledges then it’s a happy ending.  Is this real life though?

I have witnessed and even been involved in issues that were brought upon because someone was looking for something to be wrong.  Well truth is if you go looking for something more times than not you are going to find it right?  I’m not sure why or what goes on in the thoughts of individuals just looking for something to complain about when things are in a tranquil state.

I know that they may be having a bad day or have received bad news, however why spread that feeling around?  For me, if I’m not in a great mood because of a situation I have had I let my loved ones know where I am at that moment.  This way they are aware of how I’m feeling and what got me there and don’t have that, “what just happened?” “what did I say or do?” feeling.  I also apologize if anything I said or did caused them to feel less than at the moment.

In my opinion, to feel the need to bring others down when they are at peace is a terrible way to live.  I love my family so much that at times I wonder is it all worth it?  Do I not deserve to be happy, down, tired, lazy, excited, blessed?   Different days bring on different situations and how I handle them differs as well according to where I am in my mind space.  No matter the situation it’s me (or you) that has the right to do as I (or you) see fit for you and your family.  As adults we don’t need permission for how we do things it’s just how we do them.

In times like these is when I turn to God for guidance and actually put my family and the relationships with them in his Almighty hands.  I have tried to handle it and messed up, it is obviously greater than me.  This didn’t make the situation go away but it did help me see things in a different light, Gods light.  It helped me to feel like I wasn’t alone in this and that I will rise up and continue on my journey being the daughter He created and that Jesus died for.

***Mommas and Daddys it is our role to protect our little ones from times like these by having a plan of action.  Know who takes the children out of the situation and to a safe place to talk about their feelings, judgement free.  Don’t ever let your adult issues become theirs.

Romans‬ ‭15:13‬‬‬ “I pray that the God who gives hope will fill you with much joy and peace as you trust in him. Then you will have more and more hope, and it will flow out of you by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Sparkling wine and groceries? Yes please!

Today has been productive and exciting.  I even worked for an hour this morning then meet my daughter for lunch.  No room for complaining. Then I remember I have to go grocery shopping for the week before the kids get out of school.

It’s a nice time for me to really look at things and price things.  I enjoy just leisurely walking around. Then it someone ask, “Would you like to sample our Halloween Sparkling Moscato?”  Errrr(screeching tire sound)!  “Excuse me did you just ask me if I would like some Moscato? Oh my Yes!”  Ladies and gents, this is the only way to make a good shopping experience even better🍾.  Oh I’m telling you,  I enjoyed the hectic parking lot and long lines at the register with my little sample of Moscato.

The flying biscuit

Today was much like the others with morning shenanigans of teasing and sleepy heads being grumpy.    So I decided to let them “figure it out”while I got breakfast ready and clothes for my kindergartener that refused to get ready.  My daughter of course helped get lunches and drinks packed and we both headed to the car to pack it up for departure.

Wailing begins as they believe we are leaving them, I haven’t said one word this entire morning mind you.  My 2nd grader says he brushed his teeth and I can see he is dressed, 2 done one stinky mouthed, pajama wearing no sock kindergartener to go.   We start heading for the door he screams we keep walking he follows.  I lock the door put them in the car he’s upset because he isn’t ready, then he sees I have put his stuff in the car & all is forgiven.  Yes I didn’t win the battle of the tooth brushing but hey we were all out of the house semi on time.

They are handed their breakfast biscuits and begin eating.  Then fighting and I tell them they need to put their differences aside and and we begin praying.  After our prayer the heckling begins and “Mom” and I say “Be nice to each other”.  When all of a sudden a biscuit comes flying to the front seat crumbs everywhere, not to mention the scrambled egg 🥚.  It’s in crevices, on me,  all over the middle glove box and the floor mats. I said “Not Today Devil!”  The boys got quiet.   I continued “You will not win and you can not have my family!  Be gone you are not welcome here!”  

😯 This was the look on my children’s face.  Silence no more bickering.  Then we arrive at school on time praise the Lord and my sons say “See you later mom love you!”  Just like that it was over.  I got home and vacuumed up the mess wiped down the fingerprints and washed out cup holders and mats.  I felt empowered by God.  The battle was being won by the evil one but when the war broke out God took over and now I cleaned this vehicle in the name of Jesus Christ.

No matter what the circumstances we can claim the day for God.  I could have lost my cool and fallen into the dark side but I am a work in progress and so far we are doing good.  Evil you are not in charge,  this Momma In Charge is powered by God Almighty and you will never win over.  Have a blessed evening everyone!

First day in October, Did I just hear the F word?!

Today has been a pretty eventful one.  It started out hectic as most of my mornings are and again, I had a 2nd grader who did not finish his homework.  He was a very sleepy 2nd grader as he fought his sleep last night.  He was cranky and could not be comforted so I just let him be and continued on with my day.

Then his little brother doesn’t want to brush his teeth, starts screaming like that helps in any way shape or form.  I was at my wits end.  My teenager all the while was helping me get lunches and breakfast ready for the car ride to school.  She is such a blessing❤️.  They all are just right now I’m only feeling the one.

We finally leave the house late and start on our way.  My 2nd grader is doing his homework and crying and saying terrible things to make his little brother cry when all of a sudden I hear it the F word.  And it was used correctly, “I’m so Fing tired”. 😯.  I lost it my dear friends and said he was not at liberty to use a word he didn’t know the meaning of and that word especially!  It took every part of my being to refrain from screaming at the top of my lungs.

I then remembered we did it again.  We had already been on the road and hadn’t said one word to God.  Evil had stuck it’s tail into our lives and made it so we would forget.  I apologized and my son looked at me confused.  He said, “Why are you apologizing?”  I responded, “Because I let evil win”.  He got sad too.

I started praying right then and there asking for forgiveness for allowing this terrible issue take over our words to God.  I know he forgave us and so I forgave my son and reminded him that it’s not something we need to be saying.  He understood and we rushed off the car in a hurry to get them into the building before the tardy bell.

What I hadn’t noticed was our entire car ride all lights were green, every single one.  So we got them all to school on time thanks to God whom I had forgotten however He hadn’t forgotten us.  Tomorrow will be another day to try and get it right.  I pray for peace in my life and the life of my family, love, joy and grace.  This Momma had to get it back in order.

Through the hardest times we must always remember to begin and end our days with Him and keep Him in the center of our lives.  No matter what we are doing bring God in and do things for Him from taking a test to working.  If you are doing it for God you will be sure to do the best you can.

Are you needing Prayer?

What a wonderful weekend we had.  Besides the fighting children not sharing toys, the hustle of getting the house clean and pulling out Halloween decorations we had a great outcome.  I record a call from one of my little sisters and sparked something pretty amazing.

Right now my siblings and I have come into a better understanding of our faith.  We have grown with so many trials and tribulations we have encountered.  Instead of turning away from God we grew stronger in our faith and trust in Him.

In this journey we decided to start sharing our growth with others and helping to reach as many people through prayer and support in on our new Facebook Page Prayers Needed.   We saw a need for for us to reach out as we saw so many request amongst our own circle of friends and family.

Overnight we started sharing this page with our circle and we have had great response!  All prayer warriors have started praying to help with any situations that arise and it is a great environment to come and let yourself accept the Lord in all His glory.  We want to pray with and for as many people as we can as we are all here for one purpose, to bring people to God.

Join us in our journey, Click here and be directed to our Facebook Page Prayers Needed!  Prayers are Free and God is all powerful.  All prayers are answered as God sees fit for each individual person.  The answer my not look like what you imagined, just trust He answered it in a way that was best for you❤️.  Have a blessed day everyone!
