Somebody's Watchin Meeee

How many times do we miss God's best because we get on board with our feelings? The decisions we make in our defining moments will determine how high we will rise. They not only affect us, but our children. Our response in our defining moments-speaks volumes. They see our example. How do we act when someone treats us wrong? Do we stay in peace when nothings going our way? Do we give up when our dreams seem to be evading us? We can't make permanent decisions based on temporary uncomfortable circumstances. No person lives or dies unto themselves...someone's ALWAYS watching. More than our accomplishments...our character, our integrity. ..how we handle tough times is what creates our legacy. God doesn't expect us to be perfect...but, what we do after we mess up also speaks volumes-do we apologize? Do we have the humility to go and make things right? We all have unfair situations and setbacks. We cant get stuck there...we have to move on to the next chapter of our lives. There is a moment of grace for every difficulty. If we stay on the high road...our defining moments will not defeat us...they will promote us.

JJ's YEAR OF DESTINY DAY 5- Divorce is of the Devil...

"You don't know how "one" you've really become- until you're ripped apart.  Divorce is of the devil... I wish it on no one...ever."  -jj thames. Not in the mood to face the world today. so I won't. my bed is my solace... listening to my new record, tightening up arrangements, listening for more possibilities- soothes my angst. this divorce stuff irks my soul... one or two days- I barely think about it. next day...I feel like I've been hit by a bullet train at maximum speed- and just want to lay in my darkened bedroom and look at the ceiling. No tmusic, no TV...just me...my bed...and the ceiling. Sleep usually eventually welcomes me. But, then there's the dreams- and waking again to the pain. I feel like a part of me has died. It's a strange kind of pain... its a numbing abiding pain...like an irritating itch deep in your soul that you really have no kind of way to scratch. You just have to talk about it, and su...

JJ's Year of Destiny- Day 70- TWO AND TWO, RIGHT BACK AT CHA (Dating SUCKS)

"No more bad boys... like...ever. my jerk quota has been filled. I'm not in 1st grade anymore, punching me in the arm, pulling my hair and pushing me to the ground ain't cute anymore. It now is grounds for an arrest. Shirking responsibility, reckless behavior, and defying authority isn't cool...it's stupid, and immature -grow up, already." -jj thames. I am preparing to lead a small group at my church. I am really excited about it.... It's about dating. cuz...dating sucks... and being a Christian girl, and dating...sucks even more, cuz there's no sex involved, and I'm not talking about no 90 day waiting period either! (yeah, I said it.) THAT slims down the sea of fish real quick... (Tuh! DON'T act like you've never been on that dating site *sideye*) We have all been catfished at one time or another. I met a guy online once...he said he was 6'2"...Try 5'2"!!!! I wanted to punch him in the face for wasting...

Happy New Year to ME! (Yes, I know that it's November...Don't judge me, you don't know my life)

"Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance. "  -Brene' Brown As you know (If you've been on this blogging journey with me for a while) November is when MY new year starts for some reason...I think it may have something to do with my biorhythms or something...but, major life changes ALWAYS happen for me starting in November. (I just moved back to NYC November 1st...this was not planned...I just happened to have a show here, and thought it would be a good time to do so...) So, although I know that we are 10 days into my New Year...this is day one of a new chapter in my blog (don't judge me, you don't know my life!) ... if you are new...welcome...fasten your seat belt, and enjoy the ride...I'll bring ya back! If you have been ridin' with me...lol...I hope you're not car sick...cuz, we are about to turn up t...
