  • No More Bus Stops In the Snow

    waiting on bus in snow

    God is so good and I am so very blessed.

    Yesterday, while Norfolk reached some of the lowest temperatures in history, I drove past a bus stop on my way to work.

    Children bundled up, turned backwards trying hard for the wind not to penetrate their face or skins. Parents, rubbing their hands together , while continuing to look down the street for the bus to come.

    Oh, how I remember those days. Growing up we never had a car, so everywhere we went it was by bus or my mother paying someone to give us a ride.

    Standing on the bus stop in below freezing tempatures I would dream of one day having my own car. I made a promise to myself that my kids would not stand at the bus stop.

    Today, I am thankful for a car to drive. Some may say that’s stupid, but to me that’s far from stupid.

    I felt that cold cutting at my face and my hands be so cold that I had to double up the gloves with pairs of socks.

    God is good and I take nothing for granted.What you think is small or little, may be the world to someone else.
    I know as a child, a warm car on those freezing days meant the world to me.

    Stay Thankful !

  • Things That Make You Go Shhhhhh……

    shhhhh

     

    Last week I was honored to be a panel speaker on “Things that make you Go Shhhhh”…, a talk show and brain child of Miriam Holt, founder of A Sister’s Heart Ministry.

    What are “Things that make you go shhhhhh?”

    Those are issues people would rather not deal with. When they happen,little is said. It’s similar to how Wikepedia describes “Elephant in The Room.”

    “Elephant in the room” is an English idiom for an obvious truth that is being ignored or goes unaddressed. The idiomatic expression also applies to an obvious problem or risk no one wants to discuss. – Wikipedia

    These things are shameful,embarrasing and just plain uncomfortable to talk about.

    My topic was Adultery and the discussion was centered around my book, “So He Cheated, Now What?‘ The conversation was real, relevant and raw. During the conversation I was led to share things that are not inside the book, things that are personal but need to be shared in order to help myself and others heal. Adultery is something swept under the rug and very tough topic to talk about,if you are currently a victim. Some even have the mindset, ” It happened, now get over it.” That is easier said than done. With time, communication and much prayer it can be done. I am a witness.

    The talk show host was the lovely Becky McCadden.Things that make you go shhhhh will be produced live bi-monthly at the Life Center in Chesapeake ,Virginia. You can be apart of the next live studio audience  in November.

  • He Cheated, So Now What ??

    This weekend I had the privilege of going to see Why Did I Get Married Too by Tyler Perry.

    In the movie ” Pat” ( Janet Jackson ) was a successful author of the book, ” He Cheated, So Now What?”

    In reality a very similar title, ” So He Cheated, Now What?” is written by Nicole Cleveland.

    “Wow. Nicole went through and came out on the other side – and now has turned her ‘scars’ into ‘stars. ‘So He Cheated, Now What?’ will make you breathe again because restoration is possible – with God” – Pam Perry, Ministry Marketing Solutions Inc www.MinistryMarketingSolutions.com

    “So He Cheated, Now What” is a guide to overcoming an affair in your relationship / marriage.

    Pat ( Janet Jackson ) provides tips to trusting your spouse that brings some interesting dialogue amongst the characters in the movie, especially Angela, ( Tasha Smith ).

    “So He Cheated, Now What” by Nicole Cleveland offers steps to healing and restoration after an affair.

    “Taking my husband back was the easy part. Rebuilding trust after the affair was the hard part.” says Cleveland.

    This book is written to help women rebuild the love and trust. Real, raw emotions are revealed in “So He Cheated, Now What?”

    Why did I stay?

    Will I ever trust him again?

    Will I ever stop crying?
