What's Blessed will withstand Mess!

My marriage was on hiatus til March this year! Closed my makeup bar in Conyers Ga and Lakeland Florida last June in 2017. Moved out of our 4 bedroom house in Covington and Lakeland and moved home with mom's to begin a new life from scratch. Been lied on, talked about and hated by complete strangers that do not know me personally but sit around and conjure up false accusations on me or my life, education or business. To top it all off a this weekend my brake system gave out.

I don't lie about who I am, where I come from or what I'm doing. As you can see I left it all here for anyone to see. I am an open book. My life is a story and a testimony and even through it all I am Blessed beyond measure because those angels above that are looking down on me (my dad and my mother-in-law) they have blessed me with their 5 grandkids that I gave birth to, they have blessed and approved the union of my marriage to my dad's son-in-law and her baby boy. They have saw fit to entrust in me the lives of their offspring that will carry on their bloodline and legacy. These kids have blessed me by humbling me, giving me compassion, showing me how to care for a huge family, giving the opportunity even though sometimes it was tough to put my degree in business to the side and not use it but to sacrifice and stay home with all my kids this gave me patience and the art of multitasking (dealing with all 5 at one time). These angels blessed me by giving me a purpose far greater than getting up to hit a clock everyday, far more important than sitting around gossiping about others. They blessed me with an opportunity to not miss one single moment of my kids childhood (except when I made good on a promise and drove my boys to Jacksonville Florida to stay for two months to be with their dad and that side piece, yep dropped their tails right on off and the 2 teenagers were next....no lie! Right is right and wrong is wrong. All is forgiven in the war of love.) But if I may be honest, it took for him to get the two babies for him to realize and appreciate everything that I do on a daily basis. Because, he never had to do anything but work and I handled the kids and when he apologized for being unappreciative and not understanding what it took to deal with not just two but five kids with no help.....it was heartfelt and sincere.

My family is a blessing because I will never be alone. My kids love me beyond measure, they will fight for me, they are protective of me, they defend me and they are with me daily and know and understand my sacrifices to be home with them. So, even when things are a little rough I can't complain and I won't complain because I have the biggest joy in my heart when I wake up to beautiful smiles and (5) warm hearts💕.

My husband and I may have lost things that we had last year but those are just material things that will be replaced with something even better and that we are truly blessed and worthy of obtaining and keeping. How can you espect to be blessed when you are living a double life because of wickedness and evil that seeks to corrupt and destroy but God sent us angels to watch over us and guide us and put us in a position to start over at mom's with no bills, where I still volunteered at my kids' school and was able to drop them off and pick them up from school daily, without missing a beat, the ability to attend every school function, game and practice.They continued to bless me with the ability to regain focus, agility, drive, confidence and independence to began putting my business plan back together. I was blessed to enjoy life and live drama free. I was blessed to go out and meet new people and create great networking opportunities. Yes, even though this was a moment in my life that I was going through so much, I was blessed to keep going and not worry about any of it because those angels shielded me, they protected me and my kids and they showed us mercy.

God blesses you in every aspect of your life he surrounds you with his grace, love, angels and mercy then forgives all of our indiscretions. Mercy ➡ Even though my husband quit his job we were not upset or worried, because he stepped out on faith and began courses to further his career with advancement for longevity for our family. I praise God for giving him the sight to see what I have been telling him for over a decade. And by the way he is blessed to be graduating this week!(So Proud). Grace ➡ My brake system recently gave out and that has not stopped or slowed me down and all of my business has been getting handled. Love ➡ God is so good that 2 lawsuits for all 5 of my kids and myself pays out this week. So material things do not concern me and are the least of my worries. Angels ➡ I have placed my trust in the Lord who strengthens me, whom continuously blesses me beyond measure because I live right. I help others, I feed those that go without food. I volunteer and help those that are in need. I don't need a pagan to check for me because they are checking incorrect and deceitful information. Ask my kids teachers, principals, counselors about me, ask people on the corners and neighbors about me, ask my kids doctors and physicians about me. Ask my friends and family about me. But what you can't do is ask someone that does not know me about me. Because God has my resume and he don't Bless no Mess.

I am grateful and humble for where I am and I don't look to man for anything, I look to Christ. So, when people talk, let them. I know without a doubt that my place in heaven is secure. It's sad but, everyone can't say that. Hope that you are someone's blessing today! Remember, God and the angels above sees, hears, feels and knows all. 

My dad and mother-in-law's love for us can be felt and all the angel dust they used to get our family together as well as bless us is greatly appreciated in the most humble way. We know that they are rooting for us to win and that's all the affirmation that we need. They continue to surround us and we receive all of their love and blessings! Like my husband said, "The grass is not greener on the other side." We have both asked and pray for forgiveness for our infidelities. But sometimes a hiatus helps put things in perspective. And my family shall continue to pray to them and God for unity, protection, strength and prosperity, Blessings on Blessings and more wins! My life, my testimony. What's yours?
