Sometimes in life you just have to step back and take a good long look at where you are, what you are doing and where you are going.. I was having one of those moment, I wasn't trying to push anyone out of my life, I love each & everyone God has placed in my life.. So I'm back, I'm on track, and I'm where God wants me to be at this point & time in my life.... What God Promises will surely come to pass always remember Waiting is not Denial The Awakening A time comes in your life when you finally get it...when in the midst of all your fears and insanity you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out - ENOUGH! ……. Enough fighting and crying or struggling to hold on…. And, like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum, your sobs begin to subside, you shudder once or twice, you blink back your tears and through a mantle of wet lashes you begin to look at the world through new eyes. I'm one of those people that shall we say "A Hard Head lol I have to see or experience it for myself to believe. This is My Awakening. I realize it's time to stop hoping and waiting for something to change or for happiness, you learn to be happy within, It's a choice, You awaken to the fact that you are not perfect and not everyone will always love, appreciate or approve of who or what you are...and that's OK. (They are entitled to their own views and opinions.) I LOVE ME... You learn the importance of loving and championing yourself and in the process, a sense of new-found confidence is born of self-approval. You stop criticizing and blaming other people for the things they did to you (or didn't do for you) and you learn that the only thing you can really count on is GOD. You learn people don't always say what they mean or mean what they say and not everyone will always be there for you and that it's not always about you (very heart felt lesson lol). So, you learn to stand on your own and to take care of yourself and in the process, You stop judging and pointing fingers and you begin to accept people as they are, and to overlook their shortcomings and human frailties, and in the process, a sense of peace and contentment is born of forgiveness. I learn to open up to new worlds and different points of view. You begin reassessing and redefining who and what you are and what you really stand for. You learn the difference between wanting and needing and you begin to discard the doctrines and values you've outgrown and in the process you learn to trust your own knowing. So with all that being said…… I love you
I am there right at this very moment! It' s been the most overwhelming time in my entire life. Just, when I thought it could not get any worse for me, it did. Holding on no longer seem to be an option for me anymore, (I was just too tired of all of it) and yes, everyone that I know has walked away. Well, thank you for being there, your words today is just what I needed "For Me" !

It is so important for all of us to know that it's alright to stop and evaluate our lives. We have moments when everything seems to be falling apart, when no one seems to be available or concerned about what we're going through. But instead of throwing in the towel and calling it quits, we need to stop, take a deep breath and breathe! When we breathe, we release all the frustration that makes us want to pull out our hair or scream. It also helps us to call on the One we know cares and has it all in control and that's God.
We must learn to love ourselves and never let the devil see us sweat, even when are. This was so helpful and inspiring to me and to others. Always remember God is our STRENGHT.
