When No means....NO!!

Sometimes we get what we were least expecting .And what do you do with that? Do you pout and scream do you take in or do you just go with  the flow?

My boys tend to sometimes think life is not fair, they cry about it and just make it known they don't like the outcome of the situation.And my response to that is "Sometimes you WIN and sometimes you LOSE ,and today you LOSS"

Well as an adult its doesn't change the fact that things can go the way you didn't want them to and you have the right to also have a moment and let it out,but not the right to sit and dwell on it and make it a comfortable place or a nest to spend the rest of the your life. It should be a moment to stop to reflect on the why the answer you got was not what you were waiting for.

There are many times in my prayer life when I sit and pray and I tell the Lord this is what I want and how I want it and when I want it,and I sit and wait for it to happen but then God tells me "Ok,I hear what you're saying but,that's not the plan and that's NOT WHAT I WANT "  

What?!!!!! That's not what I wanted to hear, no that's not the answer I wanted. After I have my moment of pouting and telling Him I'm not happy with the decision and how its not fair, I have to tell myself "Sometimes you WIN and sometimes you LOSE ,and today you LOSS".


Its OK to lose it makes me stronger and it reminds me that God's plans are bigger than my plans and that there is a bigger plan, if  He said "NO" to me right now its because,I'm going to be beside myself when he does tells me "YES".

So, in the mean time while I wait for Him to tell me yes,I have to make the best out of that No,I got earlier.

"Lord I understand you said NO to me,I'm sad about it  and even tho I don't understand it right now,help me grow through it,to be obedient and listen to your voice and follow the direction in which you want me to go.Let my trust in you grow,and show me how to surrender my strong will that sometimes wants to put up a fight when the best things you have for me are for later and not now."

Isaiah 55:8-9 NIV
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.

In the slow lane

It's said that a mother's job is never done no weekends or holidays off. 24/7 all year round. Meetings,Doctor's appointments,school projects,groceries,laundry,meals,and the list goes on.... After years in the fast lane and none stop speeding you get to a point where you run into the slow lane.  No matter how many kisses and snuggles you get it doesn't change the fact that your body is feeling the effects of running on 4 hrs of sleep and the lack of caffeine.No energy left and the house looking like a tornado just crossed through it.Just the thought of the many things that need to be done exhaust you even more. The daily routine becomes a norm and you realize that you have taken the load on yourself and that the people that care for you want to give you a little push and help you carry the load but you don't know how to ask for the help or even let go and accept the help.  How do you let go? How do you ride the slow lane? How do accept a lending  hand?   Lord It'...

And her heavy load

25 days ago I started jogging/walking to check the mail,in the evenings. Which is 1/4 of a mile from the house. I jog/walk all the way down and another 1/4 mile to a turn around circle at the end of our street,and walk back home on an incline driveway. It’s my“me time”at the of the day, it challenges me to finish what I started. Every evening I get to run along side a momma deer and her baby. I’ve set 6 weight goals,reach my 1st and one lbs away from my 2nd goal. It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done,because I love to be in the comfort of my home,love my food and my AC. 7 years ago I had a VSG (vertical sleeve gastronomy ) done a TOOL to help with weight loss,not the solution but a tool.After a year I reached my goal weight ,and got comfortable and started back on old non healthy habits,this caused half of the weight to come back on.The struggle is real weight loss surgery is not the easy way out ,specially when you have complications after surgery.It’s just a jump start to ge...

with a broken heart

4 years ago Huela Marta lost her battle to cancer only 6 months after being diagnosed.I can still remember the day we took her into the Urgent care for a bad toothache she had and being told she had a walking pneumonia,I remember the day she was at the hospital because she wasn't getting better and the oncologist coming in and so very sweetly and caring delivered the big C news.Us having to translate to her what it meant and her nodding her head saying "OK,OK" we could tell in her face she thought she was going to do treatment and be ok.But,we knew that stage 4 at her age of 82 was not looking good. I remember her making the best of those months before she got really sick.I spent the last week with her and help take car of her,she fought to the very end we ate together talked laugh, cried and reminisced on all the good times we had together.  She loved her family seeing us happy made her happy.Time hasn't made her absence any easier when I see my little ones running a...
