Oh My Boys

Oh how I love them
The way they make me smile
When I'm unsure of my place
All I have to do is picture them
The boys in my life
My son and two nephews
The little men that fill my heart
My eyes cry tears of joy
Oh to rejoice in their toughness
The tumbles, the toys
Yes boys will be boys
But oh how I delight
In their laughter
Their silliness
The always wanting to show off
Always wanting to be first
and last
Never accepting my second best
Oh my boys always can tell
If I'm really into what they are doing
Or not
When I'm tired and frustrated
With their childish games and rituals
They yet again make me giggle
Like when I was their age
Young, innocent, Not ashamed,
For being silly and goofy
Oh my boys, I'll always love them so
To Brandon, Jaden, and Amir
My Boys

Blessed Beyond Measure

I found this poem and I just thought it was fitting for how I'm feeling about my fam. Check it out~

Written and Submitted by: Geraldine Rose

A more precious family
There never could be
Than the family
God gave to me.

Always standing by my side
In good times and bad
I never can say
How grateful I am.

Blessed beyond measure
This woman sure is
The men in my life
Give me reason to live.

This is so true
I love each of you
So these words depart
Straight from my heart!

How to Let Go and Let God

I've recently been doing a lot more soul searching and meditating. Talk about a wake-up call! I am coming to the realization that I have not been putting forth much effort in my passions. My husband, always very supportive, has helped me to understand that I need to take more time doing the things that I love to do and relax in a way that I have never relaxed. I am taking more bubble baths and allowing myself to laugh at myself. The buck definitely does not stop there. I have a whole list of things that I could be focusing more attention on, but at the top of that list is actually not listing. Okay maybe that was a little confusing or even contradictory, either way, it did spiral out the way I meant it. See, that's the thing, I've been too cautious in my writing and maybe a little too conservative. Bottom line; I haven't been giving it my all. Well I definitely accredit this awakening to my love for Christ and actually turning back to Him since I have also not been giving my all to Him either. What I am saying is this: It's time I, "Let Go, Let Love, Let God." I need to get back to making Him the center of my attention and everything else will fall into place: financial stability, mental health, physical health, family, friends, and being my all and all. "Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;" Ephesians 5:20
