I said it , so what I say can not be blackmailed against me

The whole  idea of  blogging my personal thoughts is me being completely naked in front of you all. My admitting of things that I DID ....is what  was Done....It is not who I am now. I am unashamed and that   means that I have keep my eyes to GOD and  renewing of my mind with scriptures and prayer.



I am a human  born on this earth like everyone else. I admit that I am a sinner.  I refuse to go to the grave without telling the world how  Jesus saved me .....
 To be in sin is to be in Darkness ... if I want to walk in the Light ....sin must be exposed so that I can walk right. 


When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. John  8:12

Reduce Clutter in your home ? I need to , what about you ?

Hey   you 


    I have a assignment for myself  and  You  , (Mom's ) join me....... 
I am the one that can hold on to things ....ya know the old bills, the pans , pots , the memoirs from the children's enfant years....and some may say to me ..why ? 
 I have decided to reduce clutter , reduce the headache , reduce the stress and really seeing things neat in clean.....

     WE can start the challenge today and  when the clutter is finished  ...share pictures of the finished work!
Helpful tips




1.) Purge now: Choose a room in your home and throw away, donate, and sell items that are not used or needed in that room. Each day, choose a different room. Before the week is up, you will have purged your entire home. Collect items in garage or one area to have a garage sale, or for items to be donated to your local area shelter, church or charity.
2.) Arm your family with storage options: One of the biggest reasons home owners or apartment renters  feel it is hard to keep clutter at bay is accessibility to storage options. Find a system that works for you and your family. Baskets for loose magazines, clear toy bins for kids, and labeled filing boxes for the home office.
3.) Teach your family to declutter: When your children bring home arts and crafts, extra papers and miscellaneous clutter items. Ask them what they like the most, and file or cleverly eliminate what they don’t want. Older clutter items that may be taking real estate on kid’s desks and work tables can also be cleverly disposed of!

4.) Optimize vertical storage: Instead of trying to use every square inch of your floor space, use vertical storage. Shelving, book shelves, and vertical storage solutions will help you gain more floor space and keep everything in plain eye sight. Use highest shelving for seldom used seasonal items, so you don’t have to climb a ladder or step stool often.
5.) Make it part of your schedule: If every weekend for one hour you went through your home and looked for items that are no longer valid or used, this will keep down clutter tremendously. Magazine subscriptions, old newspapers, stacks of bills and mail are all items that should be filed or disposed of weekly
6.) Imagine how great you will feel: Have you ever walked into a clean room and then right into a cluttered room? Even though you think it may not affect you, try living in the cluttered space for days and weeks at a time. You will find you are less productive, more irritable and less likely to want to spend meaningful time in the space. Try it.

7.) Make it fun: Let’s face it, if organizing was more fun… oh how our homes would stay clutter free! Figure out what motivates you to declutter? Need incentives, new organization bins, file cabinets, or repainting the home office if you can keep your space decluttered? Make basket ball hoops over your kid’s laundry hamper… whatever works, right?!

8.) Know when to let go: Often times, the source of clutter is our own inability to let go of the old and unnecessary. This is especially true with clothes, memorabilia, and family collections. Assess your reason for keeping, and be able to have a physical place for everything you keep. If the only place your items fit is in a brown box in the garage, you probably don’t need it.


9.) Every time you finish, put it away: Parents especially are infamous for telling their kids to put things away after they play with them, but adults don’t always do the same. Your ability to put things back after you use them, will keep your home cleaner, and save you from procrastinating to the end of the week!
10.) Find productivity tools to help: With the advanced technology era we live in today, there is some type of productivity tool to help you stay organized and therefore clutter free! From online resources to help you organize your papers to smart phone apps to help you organize your business, there is no excuse why you can’t have a clutter free home and life.

Being Content

    
           Last night sermon at church was encouraging to me because  it spoke on being in fear in sharing how we as people  do  mess up.
          Mostly everyone knows that we are not perfect  but it is still the fact that we sometimes become afraid to fail....
     I feel like a failure when talking about my past
My coming  up  with parents  - my mistakes of disobedience and dishonor......
I was taken to a group home - I was a ward of the State in my teen years......My learning lesson from Christ   of knowing  what children go through who don't have parents loving them and disciplining them and showing them how to Love Jesus back because he surely  loves us all back.
 My failure of  wanting a mate , a boyfriend , and then when I got my boyfriend, I failed into the bed of sex , the UH OH ! I am Dead with My  father God ....my own lies of  justification saying to self  "everyone is doing this " ....I failed

 I remember having my first born child, and I knew the lessons of premarital sex, all  I knew  was I failed...... I wanted to be married and not live with a boyfriend ,go to church pretending like heaven  will come and possible chances that the church will be gone......

 Grace from God because if The Church was gone , I would of missed it  and would of suffered long and hard  in a world that is going to get worst and eventually burn  ... I can imagine but don't want experience it .......

I failed when I stepped out of my committed relationship with my then boyfriend  numerous  times , and telling myself  this  lie about  "  I wanna to experience with other and not live a life connected to one partner , another crazy thought in my head  was " I will let this continue because we will probable break up since he do not want to marry  me  "

 I failed when lies were being told in my relationship ......

I failed when I did not pray .....because it got me in many hurtful arguments and discussions .......

God , I thank you for calming storms in my life ,I thank you for placing my feet in a congregation where I feel not judged in a sense  where stones will be thrown but  if they  judged me ,it will be criticism for me to do better in my growing in you ......

thank you Lord for the lessons I have learned and the lessons you are still teaching me to help me get stronger .....
I do Lord understand that it is better to be content than to be worried.

 I do  understand    what  James  3:2   We all Stumble in many ways 

 I have been on my  financial Peace journey  and there are some  bumps and bruises  of getting those   SIMPLE  money  Baby Steps right.....I fail in not being perfect  of keeping that emergency fund far away  .....I have failed when a bill was not paid on time after I promised myself   over and over ...this won't  happen this month.....

 I know that  admitting my failures is  pure  honesty ...its apart of  God's test for me because it is truly a  Testimony .....to encourage others  to see ,  I am human too......and then that is the beginning of finding out  what contentment looks and feels like ....
