"The journey of a thousand miles........"

I know that it is time for me to takes some steps to a healthier life. Not only do I need to increase my physical activity, but I also need to increase and maintain my spiritual health. I sometimes get lazy and unmotivated. I have to keep my eye on the prize and focus in on my goal. My ultimate goal is not to be skinny, but slimmer and healthier and to be the Christian my son and family can be proud of. Most importantly, I want to be someone I can be proud of. It take alot for me to open up about this issue because of my experience as a child and how my family views beauty. I am not asking anyone for help, just prayers. I have struggled with this issue since forever! Everyone will try to offer all types of advice and suggestions. How about just support. I hate to feel like I am under a microscope which is another reason I do not ask for help or rely on others. Bottom line to this message: I know I need to make a change in my life and I pray that my spiritual will assist me in my physical.

My Outstanding Serive Award!!!

This was totally unexpected but well deserved! I do a lot of hard work for my church because I love the Lord. I know my true reward though is in in Heaven. I thank God everyday for the opportunity to serve him by serving others. I pray that I can instill the same values and willingness to serve and worship God in my son as did my family. I am happy to say that I gave my life to Christ when I was 12, but as for my son, that is all up to him. I may not be where I feel I should be in this life but God knows what is best for me, so for that, I can say that I am truly blessed!!! AMEN

Quante'

Where do I begin when it comes to my child. He is the joy that shines so brightly in my life. Although there are a few rainy days. He keeps me motivated to be the best provider I can for our family. I want to provide for him the luxuries I didn't always have growing up. Now, I am not saying that I will spoil him with everything he wants. Of course not! One of the most important gifts I will give to him is the desire to work hard for what you want in this life. I will also share with him the gift of the Holy Spirit and encourage him to develop a personal relationship with God.

I love him with all my heart and soul but sometimes I feel I have gone wrong somewhere with my parenting skills. I know he is a boy: adventurous, curious, headstrong, stubborn, etc. I have to admit though, at times he can be the sweetest child on earth. He seems to know when mommy is not feeling well emotionally and he does his best to comfort me. Now I have never made him feel that it his responsibility to take care of me, but God works through him to melt away the sad moments. I know that there are those moments that all of us parents go through wondering, " Is my child's behavior a punishment for something I did when I was a child?" If God has a sense of humor, then in my case, I would have to say YES!! Bottom line, the point I want to make is that I don't take my child for granted and I try to give him the best of my love and support and guidance I can. Besides, when I get older, I want him to be nice to me and not put me in a nursing home if I can't care for myself. LOL!

Here is my lastest creation:




This Easter Day

My Soul rejoices this Easter Day,
As I witness nature giving God his praise.

Usually this holiday is celebrated in April,
Still in Spring nonetheless to signify renewal.

My flesh rejoices this Easter Day,
Knowing by the blood my sins have been washed away.

On the cross he hung with side pierced and nailed hands and feet.
As the clouds grew dark and thunder rolled, death he did defeat.

My Heart rejoices this Easter Day,
As I am warmed by God’s shining rays.

God gave his son as sacrifice for all who shall believe.
Redemption, power, and love shall be yours this day to receive.

My hands and feet rejoice this Easter Day,
Knowing the tomb is empty where Jesus once lay.

During this season shed off the old self and drape on the new,
Stand up and profess loudly that Christ lives in you.

Not just about sewing

Hello, i just wanted to clarify some things about my page. It will not just be all about sewing. Please feel free to discuss anything you like. That is just my passion and I felt that would be a great start for discussions. I will from time to time post my poetry so that my friends and family can get a feel of who I am and see how much I have grown in the past years. I am so excited to share a bit of myself with the world. For so long I have been this shy, quiet, behind the scenes kind of person. I feel that God has blessed me with too many talents to let life pass me by. It is time for Qubilah to truly shine. I hope to some day get a clothing line out there and my poetry published. As you stop by to read or post, I hope you enjoy. SMOOCHES!!!!
