My Sister, My Best Friend, My JJ


It seems as though it was just yesterday that we were sliding on our pillows down the staircase and landing into the closed door at 5am to wake up daddy only to hear him tell us to shut up and go back to bed! Or when we blamed Gremlin for breaking the living room window just so we wouldn’t get in trouble! Making whirlpools in our pool and jumping off the roof before mom and dad got home. Walking up to Burger King every chance we got, just because it was cool to be away from mama and daddy. Oh my goodness! Our favorite restaurant Gordos! Now old man Gordo is making yummy Mexican food in heaven. Losing our Mimi to those nasty coyotes. Our aunt Pat passing away, Grandma passing the night before my wedding. The births of each one of our precious babies. Falling in and out of love. Making life changing decisions, not knowing whether it was right or wrong. Crying, balling our eyes out because life just isn’t fair! Running and playing in the rain. You and Mama buying me the most amazing gift for my 30th Birthday, Jezibears! Doing the most stupid things just to cheer each other up! Making up new snorts, noises and laughs because that’s just how we rock! Getting that “good morning bestie” text before 7am. The moment we are so pissed at each other and then someone begins to say something rude about one of us and we get all butt hurt and want to pounce the punk, because we are the only ones allowed to say it! Lol! How God has given us a way to be real with one another. How we are always here for one another and we don’t allow anyone to get in the way of that. How we can give one another that sister look and know exactly what we are thinking and no words were exchanged.

Jamie, my JJ, you bring much sunshine to my life. Making you laugh brings me joy. Being here for you not just as your sister, but your very best friend is an honor, a gift from God. When you hurt, I hurt. When you cry, I cry. When you laugh, you know I’m laughin’! Your love, friendship and loyalty mean the world to me.

Thank you for being such a ray of sunshine in my life. Thank you for steering me straight when Lord knows I’ve taken a wrong turn. Thank you for loving my babies as your own. Thank you for always being here for me and my family. Lord knows I would be lost without you darlin’. I am proud to be your very best friend. I am eternally blessed that God gave me You, my sister, my JJ. I love you.

DIY Family Sign

So I had an old ugly pallet on the side of my house…I saw some really nice signs on Pinterest but did not want to fork out as much as suggested. So my creative juices began to flood my head. So much that in the middle of the night I would wake up and have to write my ideas down so I wouldn’t forget them! Lol!! My husband and I pulled all the nails out of the pallet. I began sanding the pieces I thought would look nice after being stained. I utilized pieces that had old nail holes to give it that rustic worn look. After sanding I chose the stain that I had pictured in my head…I put only one coat of stain on as I was going for a not perfect or new piece of art. After this dried I used T shaped brackets to connect the three pieces of wood. I utilize free fonts all the time!! In my Power Point Program I create the type size and font styles, print them on card stock paper and then cut them out like a stencil. I then positioned everything where I wanted it and bega...

The Key to a Woman's Heart...

The key to a woman's heart is when He studies her; He hears her when she’s silent; He anticipates her needs and fulfills them joyfully; He embraces her with all his being, yet gives her free reign to be herself; He provides for her needs because it’s a priority in His life; He loves her because he knows, no other way; He accepts her flaws because that’s what keeps her unique; He gazes upon her and smiles because He knows He’s blessed by her presence…jus some morning thoughts.

WHAT DOES YOUR MASK SAY ABOUT YOU?

mask - concealing thing: something that conceals or disguises something else, for example, true motives or feelings Masks are things that we wear sometimes to hide from other people, and sometimes to hide from ourselves. Sometimes we wear so many masks that when we take one off, there is another one right behind it. Often times, we have so many different masks, that we don't really know who we are so we become that which we wear. We hide behind these masks…when asked a question from a friend or family member; do you answer with the real you? Or are you answering through the mask? Do you ask yourself, “how should I answer this question so that they don’t feel differently towards me?” Sadly we feel the need to impress others, so we are afraid to be ourselves in front of people. We short-change ourselves into thinking we need these masks to be accepted and loved. Is your mask still present when you approach God? God already knows us and he requests for us to be real with him. God ...
