lonely bee..................

When my children were younger I cherished the times that I would steal away by myself. The peace and quiet was a GIFT! Being a stay at home Mom.....well...I was NEVER ALONE! While I valued the time with them, I also resented it because so much of myself was lost in the NOISE and when I was alone I got to go back to ME and my dreams, my goals, my happiness. Well now my children are GROWN (Brandon almost:)) and post divorce #!@ when I finally get back to the peace and quiet.....well.....it is HORRIFYING! All of a sudden I do not know how to handle being in my OWN SPACE. Then in the quiet of being a SILENT BEE it came to me:
John 16:32-33 
"A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me. 
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
 Deuteronomy 31:6 
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
The BEE like a BUTTERFLY has once again spread her wings and is preparing to take flight into a NEW CHAPTER of her life 
and she is not ALONE for 
GOD is always with her.......
NOT YOUR AVERAGE BEE BUZZZZZING OFF!!....................

They may become rude, demanding, manipulative and abusive. All of my children at some point experienced growing pains..... Since my ex and I were never on the same page in regards to parenting; there was not only a discord in their behavior but also in how we as parents responded to them. That in addition to the effects of  divorce and legal issues regarding custody and foundation as in home and change in living circumstan...

                                      Unconditional loves' definition is: To love somebody with no conditions or circumstances: to love completely. So many times in life we find that as human beings we don't truly practice this.  My fault (YES I have them) is that I am the  someone who only loves others HARD, giving of myself freely without any boundaries  sometimes portraying myself as extremely passive.    That is me being a “people pleaser” which means I'm not being unconditional or loving to myself first. Let me tell you, playing the martyr is not always rewarding or validating and only leaves you and the other person resentful. I am learning to work to recognize when doing what is best for me first might sometimes have me prioritizing my needs and desires above someone else's. This is a healthy part of defining who I am as an individual and crucial to me in...

div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> While I know Eve ate of the forbidden fruit first and convinced Adam to do the same; menstruation and childbirth wasn't enough so He allowed MENOPAUSE? I've pushed 3 children with big heads out into the world and have a tie to them that is EVERLASTING even in the ups and downs of life and even with that I still get to go through THIS? Hey 2023!! Recently America has witnessed another round of police brutality this time by the hands of 5 black men. I'm sad for many reasons. I'm sad that the world magnifies these crimes as FRONT NEWS when it's a black on black crime but when a man was murdered by white officers there was much cover up and the officers that were responsible were not charged until over a year later. The Memphis area sent out mass communications to dismiss work and school for the safety of the community and I was very angered by the media inciting violence. When George Floyd was killed b...
