Me, Me, Me!

Me time. What is a "me time"?
That sounds like something akin to selfishness! Calling it "me time" can be misleading. It can set you up for undue frustration.

As long as "me time" is always on your mind (when is it gonna be "my time") you will never enjoy the present moments you have with your husband and babies. You'll always be trying to sneak a little "me time". You'll start to think that being a wife and mother is some type of oppression you need solace from. Humph! The devil is a liar and so is a "me time"!

There is refuge in being a wife. You CAN be rejuvenated by the company of your children.

Your "me time" is right in front of you, baby. Enjoy motherhood. Delight in being a wife. Be wife and mommy wholeheartedly as to the Lord.

Steal away with Jesus. That's "me time" Suga'.



Scripture reference: Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men...

What You Studyin' 'Bout?

Aw, don't worry about "that"! Turn those worries into prayers.
Set your mind on things worthy of praise and thanksgiving. Even if it ain't but one thing, hold on to it honey, and praise Him with all your heart. Shake ya'self loose.
Choose to be joyful!

Scripture Reference: Philippians 4:4-8

It's Not About Being Happy

Make a decision to not be content with only being happy.
Happiness is being satisfied only when things are going "good". What about when things are not going so good?

Seek God's inner peace. Let his peace control you and transform you.
Allow it to help you keep the peace within despite of what's going on without.
Like any other good thing in life, inner peace takes a conscious effort.
Bring it. Keep it. Make it...peace.



Scripture Reference: Col. 3:15

It's Just that Simple

Don't be so simple as to let envy and jealousy eat you up from the inside out.
Let Love and Wisdom nourish your soul, child.



Scripture reference: Job 5:2 The Message Bible

Intercessory. Necessary.

~Tennessee~

Today I cried. Yes, I cried. "Different" tears.
As a matter of fact they weren't even for me.

I cried for a sister. I cried for a girl.
I cried for a mother with dreams deferred.

I cried for a girl who's trying to understand.
I cried for a mother who's holding her hand.

Did I mention that I cried? Yes Lord, but not for me.
As a matter of fact I cried. I cried for Tennessee.

~Tennessee~

I must mention that I didn't stop at crying. My tears turned into prayers. Prayers of intercession on behalf of a sister. Intercessory. Necessary. ~Lady Galloway

Time is a Wastin'

Girl, shut down that computer.
Honey, turn off that t.v..
Suga' put down that broom... that mop too.
LEAVE THEM DISHES RIGHT THERE!
Your family is calling you.

Your husband needs your support.
Your daughter wants your approval.
Your son needs your encouragement.
Your baby wants your kisses.
Girl, I said your family is calling you.

You wash dem dishes everyday.
You've swept that flo' a million times.
The t.v. is mindless. Humph, that computer too.
Your house maybe spotless, but your family is calling you.

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 5:15 -20; key verse: Ephesians 5:16

Yes, we're to be "keepers of the home" but not at our family's expense.
