Who I am

👋Hello, Hola, and Welcome Y'all!!!!
It has been a while.... like 7 years while lol. But I am back and ready to get back in the wonderful world of blogging.

Let me start by telling you about myself and why I think what I write is important enough to be posted. 😎 I am a mom of 3 WILD and loving young men and a beautiful step daughter. A wife to a  super HOTT Bahamian hubby💕!!! We live in Florida where the sun never stops and we are about to fully join the homeschooling world. I have a passion for family and ministry and that will be what my blog is all about. Different mommy tips and tricks and different things the Lord puts on my heart to share.
So here goes......

I am not going to start from the part of where I was born and who my parents are because let's be honest..... WHO REALLY CARES? Am I right? I'm not famous or running for office so none of that really matters. I will start from the beginning of what makes me, well ME.

You will hear throughout my posts about me going to bible college or moving around being married, divorced and remarried but even that is not where the real story begins. My story begins when I decided to let the Holy Spirit lead my life. Okay okay let me back up just a smidge...... You see I had been saved as a kid, water baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit at a very young age. I knew God existed and "knew" how much He loved me, or so I thought.

But that realization didn't really come until when I became a MOM!!!!! Yep, that's right, that's when I really started hearing God's voice. Every time I thought, said or felt something towards my kids, I saw the reflection of Him towards me. When I would get frustrated over something I had told them over and over not to do because it was dangerous or how I felt when they would do something loving towards me or others or my favorite just watching them learn something new. You see God was using those moments to show me His love for me whether that love was to correct me or simply to comfort me, I started to see His love in a new light.

For so long I had seen God as a Master, a rough dad, who of course loved you because you were part of Him however He was ready to lay down the law when I messed up and didn't really involve Himself in my everyday life. WRONG, I was completely wrong. God didn't look at me as a disobedient servant ready to punish me or even just a friend that we greet in a grocery store but have no real relationship. God wanted to be my best friend, my papa, the lover of my soul, my healer, the one I run to in times of need or just because I want to sit and chat. Ha ha ha I know sounds crazy right?! But let's look at scripture.....(Romans 8:15-16) The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to Sonship and by Him we cry, "Abba, father." The Spirit Himself testified with our spirit that we are God's children."

Wow!!! What a perfect verse to express the relationship we can have with our heavenly Father!

Back to this story, I began to see this and walk in this. This love was drawing me to a deeper longing of knowing Him more for myself and to reflect Him to my children. I began to desire longer prayer time, more sermons on faith, love and who He is and the best desire was to become more intimate through His word. For so long I had wondered what I was missing. I knew God, Son and Holy Ghost, I knew how to press into His presence so why did He still feel so far away on a daily basis? Why did He seem to only visit during times of worship or prayer? Where was this relationship others talked about and was it actually real? I found out all these things my heart had wondered and all the questions I would continue to ask, all in a little book called the B.I.B.L.E. Yep that's right folks, the book that has been smuggled, passed along in secret, and the blood stained hands of those who sacrificed their lives for what the pages held. I had unlocked a mystery that was there all along. What was this love and passion that leaped off the pages of this book and into my heart?

I am so excited to share through this blog different things that the Holy Spirit has opened my eyes to and I now see in a different light. I don't have some new revelation knowledge because His word hasn't changed. What I do have is a different light on the subject of my Papa, who He is, how He loves and oh the amazing things He has for His kiddos!

Through these posts I will share my heart on mom life and how to take/make time for God all day everyday without sitting in your prayer closet and ignoring your family! Having a lifestyle of Christianity is so natural and exciting and the best part makes everyday life more enjoyable. Come join me in this journey and let's become better together.
