Persevere and Trust the Father

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are well. Today I want to share a little of my experience during the snowstorm here in Georgia.

The pictures I've shared represent how fast things can change. On December 13 around 3 pm, I posted a picture of my beautiful driveway covered in snow (below). A couple hours later everything changed...

The experience was quite harrowing and I will not bore you with the details, but I want to let you know that through every experience good or bad, the Lord is with you! May you be blessed and encouraged by the video!


Love you all,
Darlene

During this season of my life, I have the honor of staying home. That means I am a full-time housewife. I have been working since I was 15 years old and it is the first time in my life in which I have the privilege of staying home. I was excited about not having to get up at 5 am each morning, working until five or six pm, going home, cooking dinner, and then catching up on college work as an online student, all the while attempting to run a small business. Then finally going to bed at 12 am only to do it all again the next day. I was worn out so many days and wondered when would I finally get a reprieve. Well…as of February of this year, my prayers were answered. Right now, I have the honor of waking up in the morning and cooking a hot breakfast for my family. Packing a healthy lunch and actually have a conversation with them without having to rush out the door. I am able to walk my children to the bus stop, which is right outside my home. I come home and have quiet time (which is a...

Did You Forget?

A few days ago, I was watching television with a friend. It was one of my favorite sitcoms from the 80’s. (I will not reveal the show because it is not the purpose of this writing). In one of the scenes, a female character appeared. I said, “Oh, I remember her” then my friend said, “I don’t like her.” I asked why and my friend said, “You don’t remember what she did in real life?” I recalled the incident my friend was speaking of and it was over 25 years ago! What immediately came to mind is why we remember the worst in people and not the best. When we think of those who have wronged others, or us we tend to remember the incident and forget about who the person truly is. Why do we remember the negative things people do? Why do we hold onto the memory? Does it provide a sense of comfort? Does it remind us not to get hurt the same way again? Is it a reminder not to trust again? Do we feel justified to hold onto the memory? Some time ago, I was hurt deeply by someone I loved. Each t...

Just Be You!

Knowing who you are is important. It reveals your strengths, weaknesses, gifts, and talents. However, if you do not know or understand who you are you mask the very things that make you unique. When a person experiences trauma and does not receive healing, it often leaves the person broken and open to negative ideas and beliefs about themselves. This was me and I did not like myself at all. I did not like my complexion, my height, and I did not believe I was smart. I would look at others and envy them, which caused more insecurity. There was a time when I did not know who I was, so I acted like who I thought I should be or who people thought I should be. It was not until I learned who I was in Christ, that I realized I can be just who I am regardless of who likes it or not. This was not an overnight process; it took many years. I learned to look in the mirror love myself and believe what God said about me. I learned God made me just the way I was for a reason. I am happy to s...
