H.U.T. (HOLDING US TOGETHA)

This here acronym is well known to my babies, and has derived to be an uh oh moment for them. But, I don’t like that one bit, and it MUST change!!!

H.U.T. initially evolved because I wasn’t HAPPY about the fact that my children had matured into adults and were pursuing their own lives, and I didn’t get to see them as often as I wanted to, and I surprisingly was MISSING all (11) of my grandchildren. Well, to be quite honest, things haven’t improved at ALL since the plan of action was supposedly set in motion… But, that’s the reason for this post 🙂 🙂 🙂

FAMILY is Ohhhhh Soooooo important to me, and I struggle with the fact that my siblings and I aren’t as close as desired, which MEANS I look even more for my IMMEDIATE family to fill the void… then, I don’t have girlfriends that I spend quality time with. So, I long for ATTENTION from my babies. Purposely, so that I don’t become a burden to them, I ONLY require that we ALL get TOGETHER once a month… Now, of course WHEN God Blesses US with MORE time TOGETHER that’s a plus.

There’s nothing like seeing my babies smiling and laughing WITH one another, while WE reminisce about old times. The uh oh moment I referred to earlier is regarding the ZERO tolerance rule that’s been in affect since each child broke through the womb… my babies are NOT allowed altercations and grudges… NO way shape, form or fashion will I EVER stand for that. As children, when sibling rivalry reared its ugly head, they had to stand in the middle of the floor hugging for hours, if NEED be, unless they quickly resolved their spat.

The ELEVEN I mentioned are growing daily, and doing new exciting things on the regular… I MUST be a part of ALL that. Noooooooooo longer am I settling for mobile phone videos and pics… H E double hockey sticks NO… I want to see those special moments in the flesh 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

God is AWESOME, this morning HE had me write my sister and ask her to help me formulate a FAMILY reunion. Now, that’ll suffice the entire FAMILY coming TOGETHER… But, won’t replace my expectations for FAMILY orientation amongst my clan… sorry, but you won’t get off that easy!!!

The entire summer, ALL I did was cringe EVERY time I opened Facebook, because families, that WE have known for years, was doing da mug… turnt up – TOGETHER, like they were suppose to be… I’m talking bout endless pics, representing the fun and happiness they were experiencing… Noooooooooo MORE, from this day forward, my babies BETTER get ready, cause it’s on and popping… EVERY month WE will be hooking up, the whole lineage -TOGETHER doing sum big… I won’t have it NO other way.

Shoot, my grandchildren WILL know, by mimicking US, how to interact with each other once they make their own families… I WANT them to be able to say… “Man, ALL I remember was my Nana made ALL us get TOGETHER monthly and do something fun, and I really appreciated OUR time together… Soooooo, I’m implementing the same course of action for me and mine”

“Train up a child in the way they should go, and WHEN they’re older, they won’t depart from it” Reciprocation and repetition is essential for growing babies… they witness reciprocated love and happiness amongst the adults in their atmosphere and environment… As they reach adulthood they’ll carry on in the same manner. Also, if the outings and togetherness is repetitious, they’ll see that interactions with FAMILY MEMBERS has to be numero uno.

Love you ALL, let Jesus teach you how to KEEP your FAMILY close 🙂 🙂 🙂

My MICROWAVE help :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

God is AWESOME, I mean I sit in awe of how HE shows up and shows out for me, and Fam believe me… HE can and will do the same for you.

ALL day I’ve been smiling, and I know my son MUST think I have special powers lol. Nope, I JUST have a POWERFUL connection with my father, who controls everything earthly, and surprisingly sped up the process on NOT one thing, but HE speedily delivered several things to US in record times. NOW tell me HE ain’t tight!!!

Normally, I’d have to sit on hold with my insurance company, and maybe get transferred to like eight DIFFERENT people before my PROBLEM would be resolved… NOT anymore, my DADDY has me at the forefront, like I’m Obama’s daughter or somebody of real importance… that lady answered the phone, hit a few buttons and wallah… documents transmitted way across town, to alleviate my predicament… Ohhhhh yoppington 🙂 🙂 🙂

My condo had my money tied up… supposedly, the hold wouldn’t drop off for seven to fourteen days… NOT for me, the conference call took perhaps 17 minutes at most… and what do you know… you’ll Neeeeeevvvveeerr guess… I’ll tell you… RELEASED!!! Imma child of the most high God… Noooooooooo good thing shall EVER be withheld from me…

Normally, when I have to go do bills each month, I dread the wait time at the post office… honey, let me tell ya… Ms Thang must’ve had her Wheaties this morning… because she whipped through at least ELEVEN of us in a matter of 23 minutes… when I walked in, faces were sour, people looking intermittently at their watches, and shaking their heads in frustration… but my PRESENCE; all filled with the marvelous Holy Spirit… the atmosphere changed for the BETTER, and things got cracking… that’s HOW my DADDY twerks!!!

I JUST love God, because I see things looking up for me, in MORE ways than one… This is off subject, but a MUST tell… I see a therapist EVERY week… the same lady each time… let me tell you HOW my DADDY fixes situations in OUR lives… the therapist has to come to the lobby to take you BACK to her office. She steps out, calls my name, I walk towards her, she extends her hand and introduces herself… weird but intriguing… with a shocked look I said to her… Uhhhhh, we’ve met, it’s me Paulette… She nearly hit the floor… I looked Soooooo good, she couldn’t believe it. Now I’m NOT tooting my own horn… instead giving Praises to God for IMMEDIATE healing and transformation.

Fam, this testimonial TODAY is for ALL to see the goodness of God flowing EVER so graciously IN my LIFE… and guess what… IT JUST gets BETTER WITH time.

OUR scares, fears… then ultimate TEARS thrusts OUR heavenly father Ohhhhh so near!!!

Don’t be too deep when pondering on my next statement, because it shouldn’t be taken to heart, in a literal sense so to say… But, do keep in mind that God delights in OUR brokenness… And please allow me to quickly elaborate, because I would NEVER purposely write anything that stirs controversy or confuses any.

Like with OUR earthly parents, when problems arise in OUR lives, and OUR hearts get heavy, it’s human instinct for us to seek out comfort from those seasoned individuals who reared us up and made every attempt to shelter us from ALL heartache that would/could EVER come nigh our dwellings. It’s common for us to either call our parents on the phone or even run to their destination just to get a hug and lay on their shoulders and cry out, in agony, while WE express our discomforts, and like clockwork… they give US the reassurance and encouraging words WE need to make it through.

In the same way, God wants US to run to Him and lay it ALL out for Him, so He can kick into action on OUR behalf. The nurturing nature bestowed upon OUR parents came from God. Therefore, it’s evident that He obviously BETTER knows how to maneuver US through the ups and downs of life that we’ll surely face.

On a day to day basis, WE will have situations that feel like they’re going to break US down to the lowest degree, and I know firsthand that worry and stressing will be OUR initial reaction. But, we MUST train ourselves to beat the clock… start each day fresh… by entering into God’s PRESENCE as soon as you open your eyes… For me, I make EVERY effort to acknowledge Him before my feet hit the ground, and I start out thanking Him for waking me up and for keeping my FAMILY safe as well. Then, I go right into surrender mode… inviting Him in, to control ALL my interactions of the day. To make sure that I don’t offend NO one, and that I don’t overly take offense to anything someone may say or do to me; that would normally cause me to get outta character.

Not to downplay God’s abilities to properly cover us. But, the enemy may find a way to sneak up on, and bring us bad news (death of a love one, life deterring ailment, loss of a job, infidelity in OUR marriages, eviction, and food deprivation) to name a few… I mean the list of tormenting and disheartening events can go on and on. Nevertheless, God is deftly OUR go to in EVERY aspect.

That’s what I was referring to in my earlier statement, about God delighting in OUR brokenness… once these predicaments arise in OUR lives, and we show Him that we’re TOTALLY dependent on Him… believe me, He jumps right on it, in ways unimaginable, and before long you’ll notice that YOUR upset slowly subsides.

Your scares, fears and tears without a shadow of doubt brings God nearer to you, if you take the time to call on Him. Don’t suffer alone… God is forever on the THRONE, waiting to intervene like ONLY He can.

God enticed EUPHORIA

This song right here thrusts me into the very PRESENCE of God, where I can receive from Him.

Before, I use to only hear members at church proclaiming how they spent time with God, and was Blessed with revelation knowledge about different things they were experiencing, and I was skeptical for MANY years, only because I hadn’t had the pleasure of making acquaintance with Him in the same realm.

But, as of yesterday I am no longer a skeptic… the Spirit of God was ALL over me, anointing me with MORE wisdom & understanding. I mean it was a Glorious experience that I wouldn’t trade for the world.

I was ushered before His THRONE, only for Him to continually make me aware of how much He loves me, in spite of my procrastination. My eyes kept filling with tears, but I was sitting at my desk, so I couldn’t Worship in the manner I wanted to. Had I been in my secret place, I’d stretched out prostrate before Him, and thanked Him for ALL the MANY blessings that He’s bestowed upon me and my babies.

On too MANY occasions, He’s made ways outta NO way for us, and just the mere thoughts of it had me on cloud nine. TRUST me, it’s nuttin like spending time with your heavenly father, NOT to beg for things. But, rather to express gratitude for what He’s already done.

God is AWESOME in how HE shows forth bouts of Mercy and Grace in our lives, even when we barely appreciate His Goodness… Sad, to say! But, most of the time, God becomes OUR spare tire, so to say. We ONLY look to Him in times of desperation… Soooooo UNFAIR!!! We definitely MUST do BETTER… He loves US, and will NEVER turn His back on us. However, He deserves reciprocation… make it your priority to thank Him daily, and ask for guidance on how you can assist… once you do this, it opens up the doors for you to be the vessel He’ll use to make His impact on this chaotic world. Salvation is essential, and so MANY of us are strays… that crushes God. It’s Neeeeeevvvveeerr been in His plan for OUR lives, to have us living any other way then TOTALLY at PEACE and successful. Allow Him in, and watch the difference evolve.

I can’t stress much MORE, the importance of giving yourself wholeheartedly away to God, for Him to use you and for your service you’ll surely receive unthinkable benefits… love you ALL. I’m excited about OUR new found transformation, and I speak in FAITH that you’ll take heed to my writings, and walk with me, as I follow Him.

TRANSITION (Unpretty >>>>> BEAUTIFUL)

All my life I had a terrible complex about my looks, and the craziness inside my head had me doing all kinds of obnoxious things just to become as popular as my peers. I hated going to school each day, because I got teased constantly, which made me fight nearly everyday, and that violent mindset grew on me; following me not only into my adolescent years, but also into adulthood as well… SMH. Sad case though, is the fact that I still struggle with thoughts of being unattractive, and the stigmatism causes me to be more secluded and isolated. In a nutshell, I blame the way I feel about myself on the adversary. It’s his job to “Kill, Steal and Destroy,” and that’s exactly what he attempts to do to my mind.

However…

This is what God is daily showing me about myself… In spite of all I’ve been through… No matter what the mirror reveals… I AM BEAUTIFUL, inside and out!!! God looks at the heart, NOT the outer appearance. So, from this day forward… My confidence EXPLODES, and I’m determined to walk with my head held high DECLARING & PROCLAIMING this chick is indeed Beautiful… Neither Bipolar nor Lucifer can convince me otherwise… And, likewise for any of you who suffer with feelings of inadequacy in ANY arena of life… Bookmark this post and hold it dear to your heart… Now, BE HAPPY…
