Francine

My mom rocks... period. I have been contemplating what it means to be this virtuous woman that I proclaim to be and the person that keeps coming to mind is me madre' aka Meerrrm, aka Francine... Her strength and regalness is something that princes and kings would envy. God's light shines within and through her everyday. There is not one day that I could think of where she has not been an absolute rock. Many people would have crumbled during several situations but Meerrrm has not and she continues to be the pilar of strength that she is... Whew... Look up the Virtuous Woman and you will see her picture... and hopefully a small picture of me in the background!

Meerrm, you rock!

Road Rage?

It is finally Friday. The end to a hard week of work. God's blessings are abundant though. He never fails to provide and never leads us astray. Let me just preface the following statements by saying I am from Houston ----->I had a thought this morning as a lady proceeded to cut me off twice and flip me the bird, twice... What if, instead of filling up with rage and wanting to tell the lady about herself, I prayed for every individual that cuts me off, drives 20mph, or runs a light? Refocusing their negative energy towards positive life-changing thoughts can result in tremendous blessings for the world... Now, if you have ever driven with me, you understand that I can be an impatient driver, I like to get where I am going and I like others to bow down to me and part the seas. Since that rarely happens, so lately I have been trying my new prayer technique and it has worked. No longer am I shaking from the early signs of road rage, but I am now able to rejoice that God and I have worked together to possibly affect someone's life in a positive way. I will never know if they cared or if they just continue to flip the bird, but maybe just maybe that chick with the wayward finger will begin lifting her head and hands to the sky in praise instead of raising it for other reasons! :)

I talk alot

My mom used to, well she still tells me "Are you done" in reference to my long diatribes... so although I never thought I would be a blogger... here I am... This to me is a place to express all the great things that God is doing in my life that I can't shut up about... It's about chronicling the crazy life that I live and dedicating my thoughts and priorities to sharing all the fabulous things that God is doing in my life... very bueno!
