Cliche



I already know this song is cliche and pertains to love  but when I listen to it I hear my resilience shine through and I let it sing to me.

Today was a hard day. It was the last major holiday I celebrated as an official single woman. And I didn’t break down into tears until I started writing this post. I made it through the day. 

I fb celebrated my happiness for Vday

It was a genuine smile. I was lit up with joy. Bittersweet joy. And now here I am bawling my eyes out. 

This song is on repeat in the background and although it’s a song about togetherness and being committed to each other, I take it in solitude and standing on my own two feet in solidarity with self love. When it says you and I remain the same- that is me and myself. 

I am stronger today than I ever have been in my life. I don’t ever want to lose that and I don’t ever want that to be taken away from me. I’ve worked so hard for where I’m at and I have so much potential for where I am headed. 

Today I cried. 

I had my friends to lean on. And I did the thing every single “single” girl does on Valentine’s Day that doesn’t have a date

And I had the sweetest little valentines. Stella and Reese. 

Today was definitely emotional for me. It was the end of an era. I am totally exaggerating. But it was a huge step. Although my ex and I have totally moved our separate ways and remain friends - it’s still a stone to be stepped on in the path of grieving the loss of a loved one. 

I know what true love felt like and I have no doubt I will feel it again. That is the power of resilience. Falling down and getting back up - until you’re strong enough that you build a house where the bones are good and it doesn’t fall down. 

So yes this song is so cliché but it holds so much significance in my life. 

And I’m pretty sure I just wrote a critical analysis of a song like I was taught in college for fun... this is my life... this is Valentine’s Day. Happy Valentine’s Day 🥰

Mad

I am sitting here watching Daniel the Tiger and they are singing a song called “Mad” and one thing that I am learning now that I didn’t know then is that it’s ok to be mad at some one.  I only used to get mad at inanimate objects because they didn’t have any feelings and I am that sensitive of a person that I knew that they couldn’t get hurt so I would take my feelings of anger out on things not people.  I never wanted to hurt a persons feelings because I knew how it felt to be hurt by anger and I didn’t want to make someone feel how I felt.  It’s ok to be mad at people. This is how I always would be: You don’t want to walk around being a victim all the time. You don’t want to walk around being hurt all the time. Its ok to be angry. But. And there’s a huge but! It’s not cool to be cruel. Be angry BUT use your anger and let it be a cathartic release to catalyst you into something amazing such as.... painting, sports, music, running. Anything. Something. It’s power. Let it ...

Clarity

I have been a Lone Ranger for quite some time and by that I mean, I haven’t been reading my Bible like I should. I know God is with me. I know His grace covers and protects me, and I know He is sovereign but I have been taking it for granted.  I went to my home church this morning. I’ve been going to River Oak but I decided to go to my home church with my mom this morning.   The message really spoke to me. Pastor Ray said basically that it’s easy to understand from an outside perspective and make a judgment call but unless you know the context of the situation you don’t understand the concept of the reality of the situation.  He preached out of John 4 where Jesus had to go through Samaria which was basically going through a land of the most hated people to get to Galilee. There he met a Samaritan woman by the well who had been married 5 times and living with a man. And he asked her for water. And she was surprised. Then Jesus said if she only knew the gift God had for her...

Values and Boundaries

What are your values and boundaries? Should we create boundaries? How do we create boundaries? How do we value ourselves? These are all very good questions that I hope I can help to clarify Jeremiah 5:22 “Have you no respect for me? Why don’t you tremble in my presence? I, the Lord define the ocean’s sandy shoreline as an everlasting boundary that the waters cannot cross. The waves may toss and roar but they can never pass the boundary I set.” Boundaries. What is a boundary? Webster defines boundary as something that indicates or fixes a limit or extent. In that verse God set His limit with the Israelites. He called them out and asked them, why are you crossing my boundary that I have placed before you? I have boundaries set in place and you have directly gone against them. Why? In Jeremiah 4:18 God says “Your own action have brought this upon you. This punishment is bitter, piercing you to the heart.” So not only did God place boundaries, he also said there were consequen...
