Heart and Bail Money

I saw this in a store one night when I was feeling awful about life. My anxiety was on ten and I could not for the life of me figure out what I was in the store for to begin with. I have moments like that. Have you? If so, just know that you are NOT alone. Anyway, I walked past this and as I stood there in the aisle reading this, I cried... In a world of perfect waists, firm backsides, ample bosoms, and everything Kardashian, it can be difficult to look in the mirror love who you are. I mean really?! That night, while standing in the store, not knowing what I was in the store for, I cried and cried and cried thinking that God put this sign in an aisle that I was not supposed to be in. He wanted me to know that in a world where pretty fades, a beautiful soul lasts. Being made in the image and likeness of God is not a small thing to take in. It's like He took the time out of His busy schedule to mold me and make me and shape me. The old adage is that God don't make no junk

I was not going to post another blog today. I was not. I was just going to introduce my blog to the world and let it be. Clearly, that's not what is happening. Since this is really a way for me to grow in a lot of ways, I thought I would share my experience shortly after I posted my first post. I am a work in progress... You ever had someone say or do something to you so foul that you swore that the next time you saw them that you would give it to them guns blazing from both barrels? Well, maybe you haven't but I have on several occasions and today was just that day. I had a family member come over to the house that I did not think I would see for a while because of an over the phone altercation that we had about a week and a half ago. He came over, sat on the porch and acted like nothing had ever happened. The nerve! I was heated. I mean I was totally and completely upset. I wanted to go to him and ask him with every bit of attitude I know that I have why he thought it was o

I love God. I love to talk. I love to write. I love my older sister. I thought that maybe I would sit down and share with you how this love is combined. I also thought that I would share with you all my flaws. I have a lot of them. That's why my sister undeniably has my bail money. No, I don't think that I'll do anything that will ever land me in jail (with the way that folks are dying in jails and whatnot, that would not be a good look) but it's the point that no matter what, I know that my sister has my back. I've got a lot of people in my life that also have my back but there is something about my older sister that I know that I know that I know that I know, she's got me no matter what. Kinda like the love God has for me. I see God in my sister...I'm rambling but I hope that you take this ride with me and enjoy the process as much as I think I will as well. Let's GO!!!! Be blessed. Be bold. Be beautiful. Nanci
