Hi Guys, thanks for coming out to another TGI Saturdays this week. I tell you, it is getting harder not surrender to the temptation of shutting down this party. Not because I don’t love writing and sharing my thoughts and life journey with you guys. It is just that right now, I have alot going on in my life, more than ever before.
At the moment my life is directly entwined with other lives outside of my immediate family. That’s not a complain. It is just the season I’m in. So sometimes sharing is a bit hard to do without talking about them too. At present there are 10 people in my house, my 5 kids, my husband and I, 2 of my siblings and 1 of my parents. Their lives are at crossroads right now. Maybe, all our lives are. Our destinies hangs in the balance.
I have visions, dreams and hopes for our futures. A Jeremiah 29:11 kind of future. I dream of good things and hope for amazing things to come for all of us. I pray God is behind the scenes unraveling the knots we’ve weaved, to bring us to a place of peace and prosperity.
These elections around the corner are very scary, because I feel that potential future threatened by ignorance and stupidity. Nevertheless, I am not afraid.
I am taking this life one step at a time and encouraging the people I influence to do the same.
So blessings to you and have a good Saturday.
P.S-
Be the light in the darkness this Halloween.
Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas movies starts this weekend, yeah!
Peace, Love and Blessings to you.

Latisha, Thank you for the party, and thank you for being your family’s light in their darkness. All of you will look back on this one day and marvel at the beautiful tapestry that was woven during this time.
You have quoted one of my very favorite bible verses, and these are a couple of my favorites~
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:1
But those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:31
If God be for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:31
I know you know all of these, but thank you for letting me share them today. I enjoyed remembering them with you.
Love to you and your family,
Joy
I can totally relate to life being overwhelming. BUT,,,you are doing it. One step at a time. I recently was in a hard place where I had to choose what was the most important to me. After much back and forth I decided to take a few months of leave from my blog. Not that I wanted to take a break, but I had to and wanted to choose my family. To make it feel better for me I thought of it like if I had a 9 to 5 job. Taking the time off to focus on family would fall under the family leave act. So whatever you are going through, you are doing great. Just don’t add guilt to the mix. One day you will be on the other side of this time in your life and looking back you will want to see that you put your attention where it needed to be…family.
