This is The Day...

Today was a good Day The Lord made it and I choose to Rejoice in It Today was still a good Day I choose to smile I choose to Worship I choose to embrace the Day I remembered you and my heart did ache I longed for the hope and joy that a new life brings To smell your hair, To hear your cooe's Even a cry..anything My tears flowed without hesitation Missing you almost overwhelmed me.. But still the day went on And I choose to smile There is not a day that I don't think of  you Knowing this is not the end But the Beginning It brings me comfort It fills me with strength To continue every Day Today is a good Day! -sj

Pt 2 Self - Suffiency

The last segment concluded that almost all of us (parents) desire to see our children achieve a certain level of self sufficiency . We relish their growth physically and the progress they make mentally. Especially when connections are established. None of this is bad, quite the contrary, it is great! But when our kids start developing beyond our reach then our concerns grow. If they suddenly do not desire our company or feel like they can do it all on their own. Part of us grows resentful at the lock out. We scramble to try and look ahead to warn them of any potential pitfalls; We gain headaches trying to logically understand why they reject our wisdom, advice, companionship, guidance or whatever. What is so puzzling about the fact that we want the BEST for them? Then it hits us..they are operating in self-sufficiency. They are exercising their right to make choices as they see fit. Despite our protests or warnings they create their own paths. It is in their nature to do so. Rebell...

Si Sufficientiam.... What Really is Your Name? Pt. 1

Si Sufficientiam (Pt. 1) The term is actually Latin for 'self - sufficiency'. I remember coming up how Bishop (my Mom) would constantly tell me that I needed to learn to be self-sufficient. Which meant do what needs to be done just because you see it undone before I tell you to do it. As a child I hated that term because it usually meant a lecture before and after the mention of it. Now that I am a Mom I completley understand the whole thought process behind that statement. I find myself being cross at my husband and kids when I see something out of place. To me it's common sense that your shoes should be neatly placed on the shoe mat; or don't place your headphones or earbuds on the table (yuck); and of course leaving items on the floor. Who cares who placed it there? It shouldn't be there at all! Oh My GLOB!!! Some days it is enough to pull my hair out. Why? Everyone knows socks belong on feet not floors. Toys belong in a box not the floor or under my feet. AR...

Tender, Tender, Tenderness

For so long...I ran from home I couldn't stand the sharpness in your tone I didn't understand your lack of delicacy in correction Nor did I care for allotment of none when My errors rose So I jumped in the wind, not caring where it took me No plan of my own Moving with the flow that was the strongest Wasting alot of energy Misplacing alot of love But I never forgot the good at my center It got harder to deny it's place I'm older now My fights are chosen with wisdom Weighted by tenderness Now I can love you for you I can handle who you are I can hear your love despite your tone I am not crushed by your words Tender are my thoughts towards you Guided are my actions Purposefully I enjoy our time together Deliberately do my steps lead me home -Sj
