I am SO sleepy...I would LOOOOVE to take a nap right now! However...I am currently washing clothes and giving Nyelah a bath. I guess that comes with the turf, right? WELL I LOVE EVERY BIT OF IT! Sometimes, it gets a little overwhelming having to deal with all the responsibilities of having a family, but at the end of the day...when the clothes are washed and folded; when the dishes are done and the kitchen is clean; when your little girl has had a bath, been read a story, and is sleeping soundly in her bed; when your husband comes home to a clean house and is free to kick up his feet and watch some TV for a bit with his wife at his side...it's ALL WORTH IT! I just have to encourage myself to remember my priorities...GOD, FAMILY, work and church.
Anyway, I'm sure most of you have seen or heard that I'm a NEW MEMBER OF SIGMA GAMMA RHO!! I'm SO excited that I have a new organization to be proud of and call my own. I really won't go into the details on how this came to be. That's really not important. Just know it is, and I'm happy. I know folks are wondering, some are mad. It's all good because I'm all the more encouraged that I made the right decision FOR ME. Just be happy for me...or not. Whichever is up to you. I ain't mad.
I'm REALLY looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. For some reason, family has been EXTREMELY important me these past few years...probably has something to do with my dad's death. Thanksgiving will be at my uncle's house in Goldsboro, NC and Christmas will be at OUR PLACE THIS YEAR! I'm really excited about that last one! I will have the apartment all festive and I'm COOKING! Watch out now! Yall ain't ready fo' me!
Y'all, God is good and He is faithful. He's been SO faithful to my family and I. For those of you that have been keeping up with my journal, my husband wasn't coming with me to church. Well, he's been coming with me for the past 3 months and guess what?! HE JOINED A COUPLE OF SUNDAYS AGO! God is SO good! So now, we both get to serve side by side in the ministry we've chosen...TOGETHER. That's an awesome feeling! God truly answers prayers. I'm excited about where God is taking our family! Also, Jeffrey is planning to attend get his PhD in financial economics soon! He currently has a 4.0 and they are encouraging him to further his education! I'm so proud of my baby! Also, Nyelah is now 3 YEARS OLD!! She's almost potty trained...a few mishaps at school and home. She rarely wets the bed at night! She's such a big girl!
I'm just feeling really good and I KNOW that God is with me. It is evident in my life that He's not left my side, nor my family. We are continuing to stay strong in Him and keep Him as the center of our lives. Keep us in your prayers!
