Sisters Acknowledging Sisters
(SAS) is My Mission and My Purpose. I’m not perfect, because God didn't say I had to be but I do strive to be the best I can be everyday. I try hard to be a good mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend.. all while trying to encourage other women to do the same. I will not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I sure do reach a couple of folks who appreciate me and for that I’m Truly Grateful. To all my Sisters out there, trying to be better, while helping to Enrich, Encourage and Empower the next woman... I Salute You!!! Keep Shining and keep moving forward & upward!!! I know I Am!!! Mari Around this time of year people often say the phrase, ‘New Year. New Me.’ but not me..those words dont apply to me.
As for me I like to say.. ‘New Year. BETTER Me.’ I’m happy the way I am, the way God has made me but there’s always room for improvement and I plan to improve my life this year and every year after. Im far from perfect but He said I didnt have to be. He loves me anyway my flaws and all. Be Better in 2014.. This rings true to all aspects of my life, my spiritual journey, my faith, my purpose and my relationship with my family and my friends in general. I do know with out doubt my walk with God is the most important... I definitely need more of Him and less of me in 2014. I will keep striving and working on the things God has already instilled in me. I cant complain about 2013 because God has been so good to me and Im still Here cause i know a whole lot of people that didn't make it to 2013. I'm Blessed already and I'm so ready for whatever 2014 brings...so with that Here's to a Better Me!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Peace & Blessings ~~~~MARI~~~~ Just because things may be chaotic in your life right now doesn't mean that things won't get better. I will be the first to tell you that it will. I'm a living witness. I was always taught that the closer you get to your Blessing the worst things seems to get..For every setback God has a greater comeback!!! Have Faith and be steadfast cause weeping may endure for a night but Joy comes in the morning. Be Blessed ~~MARI~~ Life is Short..That is why it is so important to live out every single day to the fullest.
If you ain't Living Life to its fullest...Find out whats stopping you..Release It and Start Living Life Today!!! Live, Love, Laugh and be intentional about making every day count. Don't let your circumstances or ppl deter you from the life God has for you. It may not be perfect but it is Good. I will be the first to admit that I wasn't always good at this. I took each day for granted and then there were days I didn't even want to face because I was so afraid of what it might bring. That's how you live when you let your life and happiness be controlled by others instead of God. When you truly let God into your life you will see life and ppl so differently. Everything becomes so much clearer when you let the dust settle. Today I see so beyond my past. So beyond the tears, the pain and the unhappiness. Today I can truly say I'm happy with myself inside and out and the life I see before me. And never again will I ever take my days for granted because I know Tomorrow is Not Promised and to still be here Is such a blessing. It took me a long time and a lot soul searching and a lot of God's word to get me to this point in my life where my peace and happiness exceeds anything that I maybe going through.. Sometimes God has to break you down to build you back up to the person He created you to be. I'm still work in progress but I know I will never go back to the person that I once was or the life that left me empty and unhappy. So Today I'm Living Life... so full of Faith, Peace, Hope and Love and I know that no matter what comes my way there is nothing that I cant handle cause I know without doubt God has my back. Moving forward is the only option that I have and I'm not looking back.. and with that I'M LIVING MY LIFE TODAY LIKE IT'S GOLDEN...Because It Truly Is!!!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!! Peace & Blessings ~~~Mari~~~ I am in a humble mood right now. So thankful for my life and all that take part in it! My journey has been long but to end up here and now, Is such a Blessing. I realize that it was all worth it, every tear, every sleepless night, every heartache was not in vain. This thought makes me reflect on what I'm made of and how far God has brought me.
Thankful for all those lessons learned (still learning) and even more thankful to the Teacher. It's been a long road finding myself and learning that nothing is by accident. God has a purpose for everything! I have learned how to embrace change, accept what is, and love myself even more and my life. I'm not perfect and neither is my life but every day I strive to be better than the day before. I'm in such a good place in my life where my happiness is the best part of me and will not be compromised. My Smile is Non Negotiable... :))) Loving me and my life. Appreciating what God has blessed me with: health, strength, family, and friends. Oh, and a peace of mind!!! Blessed Beyond Measures ~~~~MARI~~~~ As I watch the news of the tornadoes in Oklahoma it truly makes u realize how blessed we really are.
To see all the devastation and the loss of life is truly heartbreaking. That could of easily been anyone of us. If you think you have it bad put yourself in the shoes of the people of Oklahoma and walk the tough the journey that lies ahead of them. Your life isn't that bad after all. No matter what you are going through there is always some one that has it worse. We all have a lot to be thankful for.. just to be handle to have a roof over our heads, food on our tables and to be able to see and hug our kids is truly a blessings no matter what we're going through at this moment. Your life may not be as good as you want it to be, but it no where as bad as it could be. Let us all count our blessings and not our burdens and please lift up Oklahoma is prayer. PEACE&BLESSINGS ~~~MARI~~~~ |
