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 Coming Of Age: Day 152- Spillin' the Tea -Part 3- Chronicles of the Sidechick Wife...Not a Typo.

livid, adj . [Screw] you for cheating on me. [Screw] you for reducing it to the word cheating. As if this were a card game, and you sneaked a look at my hand. Who came up with the term cheating , anyway? A cheater, I imagine. Someone who thought liar was too harsh. Someone who thought devastator was too emotional. The same person who thought, oops, he's gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar . [Screw] you. This isn't about slipping yourself an extra twenty dollars of Monopoly money. These are our lives. You went and broke our lives. You are so much worse than a cheater. You killed something. And you killed it when its back was turned" -David Levithan, The Lover's Dictionary I'm gonna get back to my Asperger's list tomorrow...but, I had something really interesting happen today...and I want to talk to ya'll about it... I've got a question for you... "Would you stay with your man if he cheated on you, and a baby was conce...

"You and I have defied and defined time to realign right here where we stand look in my eyes, there's someone waiting there someone you loved oh so very well. through ages and eons from creation to revelation I've loved you over and over and over and over again from plantations through elevation royal thrones and abdications our souls search and find repair the breach and mend. you are my all in all I'll always find you no matter how far we are you are my all in all I'll always find my way back to you, my love no matter how far we are all in all" -jj thames so...this thing called "adulting"... I'on like it...i'on like it, not one bit. I feel like being in your 30's is like being a teenager all over again, like its the adolescent years of adulthood, except with responsibilities hanging over your head... you have the breaking up or distancing of friendships. (ofte...
