Be The Reason Someone Smiles Today



Today was a great opportunity to practice this life lesson; making others happy. It's so easy to make the people you love and have a really good relationship with happy! But when you are finally at that point in life that you just want to make everyone happy, that's when your true happiness takes place in your life. 
I will always say I never thought things would of turned out the way they are turning out for my little family and extended family. I always saw myself, since I had Kye, as a single mother doing this all by myself and being miserable about the situation I was in. It's crazy how different this really is turning out to be. I can easily go over to Kye's father's place to just hang out with his fiance and new baby just like we are all friends. It feels like I just have another group of friends to hang out with. Some times it feels super awkward because that is my ex and my son's father but something happened these past couple of months that have really changed my heart and my son's father's heart. I'm so happy God was working in me and helped me to just taking understanding to this situation and became open and loving. 
I love their son like he is my own and I have the best relationship with Rachael. It's slowly coming back together where my son's father and I can be able to just sit down and have a normal conversation and not feel any tension between us. Everything is just so good!

Today was Kye's father's birthday and over the past couple of weeks Rachael and I have been working on something special to give to him. This was the first time I think I have acknowledged his birthday since I had Kye. I was so angry at him and didn't want to see him happy at all. Now that God is the main source in my life, He has opened my eyes and my heart to just see and make others happy. The look on Kye's dad's face when he saw the cards and gifts we made him was priceless. I went out of the way to buy some food and we all sat down, our two little families, and became one and just had a nice dinner. Sometimes I just look in on the picture from afar and say to myself, people probably think this is the weirdest and most confusing situation ever! And honestly it can be. But the only thing that matters to me is the smiles on everyone's face! Everyone is finally happy, even me, on how things turned out. It's such a pleasure for me to see other's happiness. It's the best feeling in the world making others happy. 
Today really showed me how great my God is. How much He is truly working in my life. I never saw myself as the person I am today. I could of never worked myself into becoming this person. With God, He led the way and He made me a much happier and open person! I am so truly blessed to have these people in my life, positively this time around. It couldn't of worked out any better!

In Prayer

Image
Do you want to grow spiritually?  Of course we do! I do!  Pastor Greg Laurie goes more into depth of prayer while studying The Lord's Prayer in Luke 11.  The basic things are the main things we need to focus on. Stating the most important things are the simplest things. Prayer is communicating and listening to God. In Luke 11 the disciples are asking Jesus to teach them how to pray. Jesus then began ' The Lord's Prayer '.  And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Luke 11:2 We must pray according to the will of God. We need to ask God to give us the plan for our life. His will for us will be done on this earth, only if we ask.  And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. Luke 11:4 We need to confess our sins, even if we don't believe we have do

The 'Traditional Family'

Image
Tuesday while listening to Greg Laurie, he said something that really hit home and I began to feel sad, upset, hurt and even a little angry. This is what he said and I quote  "The idea of a traditional family seems to be something of the past. So many broken homes today... We have to visit dad and his new wife and we have to visit mom and her new boyfriend and I have all these new step brothers and sisters and the whole thing is sort of...icky. Uncomfortable. Awkward." -Greg Laurie  Well Pastor Greg, you hit that one spot on. Before he made that quote he addressed that there are broken home in the result of divorce. However, to be in that situation he described doesn't always have to be the result of a divorce. It could simply be the result of ignorance as well!  Growing up, I always told myself I would never have a broken family, and if you have kept up with my blog you have heard that plenty of times.  Well no one ever wants to have a broken family. But for me, that was

Who Are We?

I listened to a sermon on the 4th and I have been trying to put all my thoughts together to write a post about it because it was so meaningful for me. It helped me realize a lot about myself and my faith. I am still trying to get all my ducks in a row for that post but I just wanted to give a little bit of encouragement. It seems like most sermons preached lately are about this craziness but out of that craziness there is a lot to learn! In Exodus 13-16 we read about how Pharaoh finally let the Israelites out of Egypt. All the Isrealites wanted was to be let go and what was one of the first things they did when they got out of Egypt? They complained. They started complaining about how they 'missed' things from Egypt.  Exodus 16:3 says   The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the  Lord ’s hand in Egypt!  There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food  we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.”
