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.

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.

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.

He hath made everything beautiful in his time...
Take a second look... everything isn't always as it seems. Look again and again.
Be content with it. There is beauty in it. It's fitting for it's time. It's just as God intended. Nothing needs to be added or subtracted. It's done well!
Yes, you are...beautiful.
Scripture Reference: Ecclesiastes 3:11

Submission? Who are you talkin' to?
Hey you wives!! Are yawl submitting to your OWN husbands? Not for play-play, but for real? Are you submitting with a "happy heart"? In everything, big or small? Everything?! Do you nag, cry and manipulate to get your way? Tisk, tisk, tisk. Let's submit from the heart and cease to be self seeking. ~Shalom in the home~
