Starting Over Ain't So Bad...

It's been a long time... A loooooooong time, folks... I've missed ya'll... There have been moments when I've been sitting here looking at my computer YEARNING to blog, but not knowing how or where to even begin... Why was is SO hard for me to just say what needs to be said??? I know why... I had to wait on GOD to release me from certain ways of thinking and certain ways of life... Ooooooooh, Lord I just thank You for the spirit of discernment...

When I last left you, I was residing in Texas... Living in my big, beautiful house & driving all my nice little cars... And know as I write this, I'm sitting in a classroom in Pine Bluff, AR where I've been living for over a year now... I would've NEVER thought I'd be back here... Ever... LoL... No lie... My mode of transportation? A little body Honda Accord just like the one I bought when I first moved to Texas... Ironic, huh??

See, what it all boils down to is that God had to bring me back-to-the-basics... I lived the good life, ya'll... I lived high off of the hog... I spent & didn't care... I lived as if there was no tomorrow & did things that were NOT pleasing in the eyes of my Father... And at the end of the day, He let me know exactly how he felt about the situation... LoL... Look at God... ;)

So, here I am... Simple me... Baring all & being blessed in the process... I'm in the midst of a divorce that's more bitter than sweet (Not on my part, though... LoL... IJS) I'm about to make a career transition, move into a new place, and embark on a new journey that should have me terrified when I think about it... But then I remember, "Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you." (1 Samuel 12:24) What should I be afraid of?!?!?!?!?!

This right HERE?!?!?!?!? The ULTIMATE UPGRADE, BABY... It's taking place NOW... It's happening every morning when I wake up... It's happening with every move I make... It's happening with every smile I flash... It's happening every night when I pray before closing my eyes and settling in...

Join me in the "ultimate" upgrade, friends... THIS should be interesting... ;)

'Til next week... XoXoXo

Come one, come all!!! Let me upgraaaaaade you!!!

The fact that you are even reading this speaks VOLUMES to me...  See, I have alot to say... I always have, even when I didn't really know what I SHOULD be saying... Many times, we talk about STUFF, but that stuff has no substance...  I think that I just may have found some substance, ya'll... I am NOT perfect.  I've never thought that I was & I've come to accept that I never will be... I'm perfectly imperfect ... However, I have spent MANY years of my young adult life striving to present the image of perfection...  I mean, c'mon ya'll... It is just an image at the end of the day... This "quest" for perfection has taken me down some winding, sometimes drastically dark roads. But, without that quest I wouldn't have the testimony that I have today. My voice could very well be your voice... Maybe it's your sister's voice... A cousin... An old college roomate or the chick next door.  I've gone though so many monemts of my like

There MUST be something in the water...

Look here... If I see ONE more young lady  girl between the ages of 12 and 15 with a fresh LACEFRONT, I'm going to  lose it... I'm sure of it... Another 7 year-old with acrylics JUST might send me over the edge... Is this the generation that will be making decisions concerning my healthcare? Is the fate of my old-age going to rest in the hands of these "boppas"?!?!?! Now, I know that back in my Central High School days, I participated in QUITE a bit of ratchetivity. I won't even lie like I didn't do my share of underage drinking or smoke a few blunts here & there... (I told ya'll, I have to keep it 100 during this experience... LOL) I can't even count the number of days that I skipped school and went to Denny's.  Football Friday nights were DESTINED to be filled with drunken slurs, minor fender benders, & cringe-worthy hook-ups... I was FAR from a saint.  The "New Breed", however, takes it to a-whole-nother level... Yowzers..

The "Queen of Detachment" is Relinquishing Her Throne

Yep, I said it... I'm finally stepping down... The "Queen of Detachment" is no more... *sighs* detachment [dɪˈtætʃmənt] n 1. indifference to other people or to one's surroundings; aloofness 2. (Psychology) freedom from self-interest or bias; disinterest 3. the act of disengaging or separating something 4. the condition of being disengaged or separated; disconnection I've always prided myself on my ability to detach myself from ANY situation...  I tried to look at it as a gift & a curse, but all along it was only just a curse...  It was my defense mechanism, my way of protecting myself from getting hurt.  All along I was hurting myself more and even worse, hurting people who cared about me. I guess you can peg it as the "love 'em & leave 'em" syndrome...  I'd let people get close, whether for a brief moment or a designated season, and just like THAT I'd detach myself completely... I mean, no phone
