Goodness of God: sang by CeCe Winans

I love You, Lord
Oh, Your mercy never fails me
All my days, I've been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

And all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
And in darkest night You are close like no other
I've known You as a Father
I've known You as a Friend
And I have lived in the goodness of God, yeah

And all my life You have been faithful, oh
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God, yeah

'Cause Your goodness is running after, it's running after me
Your goodness is running after, it's running after me
With my life laid down, I'm surrendered now
I give You everything
'Cause Your goodness is running after, it's running after me, oh-oh
'Cause Your goodness is running after, it's running after me
Your goodness is running after, it's running after me
With my life laid down, I'm surrendered now
I give You everything
'Cause Your goodness is running after, it keeps running after me

And all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God
I'm gonna sing, I'm gonna sing
Oh, 'cause
'Cause all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God
Oh, I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God

Christmas

How do you celebrate holidays?

We usually celebrate the holidays by going all out. For Christmas I will say we start the outside decorations in the last week of September or first week of October. It’s due mainly because it starts to get cold by me very fast. Some times the fall weather can last longer but sometimes winter just blasts in. So for us starting the decorations especially hanging of lights and stuff is just better earlier. We love to making the house all colorful and filled with Christmas cheer. I know most think it’s silly but for me especially Christmas is very magical. I know it’s not the actual date of Jesus Christ birth but celebrating like it’s His birthday makes it so much more special.

Talking to God

How do you relax?

I spend each night talking to God. It helps me feel better and unburdened. I can tell Him anything, give him my worries and not be afraid. I don’t feel like I have to pretend to be someone I’m not. I don’t feel like I have to censor myself. I can just be me in front of him and he still loves me. The most relaxing thing you can find, is a place that you find peace in. My peace is found talking to God. I find that is the only time I am truly relaxed and can be my complete self. This is why it’s the last thing I do before I go to bed. I like to fall asleep feeling at peace.

Always learning

Talking to a young boy I found he was cold. Maybe smart but not very nice. Very dismissive but I can blame myself. I tend to talk too much and share too much of myself when talking to people. It’s a very big flaw I know and I am working at it. I do find that sometimes being that way helps me to not hide who I am. I am not ashamed of being myself but I do forget others don’t like talking to other people and feel it might waste their time. So in that sense I was wrong to have wasted his time. I guess we all try to think we are speaking to people but we aren’t. In the digital age we are nothing more than avatars exchanging bits of information. So in that aspect you really never actually speak to the person like if you were to speak to them in real life. It was an interesting experience and it’s not his fault, it’s no one’s fault. We have become so separated yet are so close just by the tap of the screen but still worlds away from one another. Another day still grateful for another lesson learned.

Who Am I to Stand in Your Way

Song by: Chester See

Forgive me

I may have said things

That aren’t exactly

The way that I feel

I told you I’d be strong

I said that I’d moved on

But it doesn’t take long

To realize

That I’m not over you

But if there is somebody that makes you feel happy

Tends to your heart in the ways I’d been lacking

Then who am I who am I to stand in your way…

To stand in your way…

To stand in your way…

I won’t stand in your way…

I know it sounds crazy

But I need you to trust me

If it’s how it must be

Then I’ll fade away

When it finally feels true

Then do what you have to

‘Cause I’ll never blame you

For not choosing me

But I’m not over you

But If there is somebody that makes you feel happy

Tends to your heart in the ways I’d been lacking

Then who am I who am I to stand in your way

That I feel is no longer your burden

If there is someone that can make you feel perfect

Then who am I who am I to stand in your way…

To stand in your way…

To stand in your way…

I won’t stand in your way…

Down the road someone will ask me if I know you

I’ll pause for a moment I’ll smile and say that I used… to

If there is somebody that makes you feel happy

Tends to your heart in the ways I’d been lacking

Then who am I who am I to stand in your way

That I feel is no longer your burden

If there is someone that can make you feel perfect

Then who am I who am I to stand in your way…

To stand in your way…

To stand in your way…

I won’t stand in your way…

I won’t stand in your way

I won’t stand in your way

Ideal Home

What does your ideal home look like?

My ideal home looks like one that has a lot of bedrooms. Many windows so the sunlight can always shine inside the every room in the house. One that has a big kitchen with lots of cabinet space and counter space. One with a yard or land, to plant flowers and have a little garden. One more thing that is a must, a big tub for me to be able to soak in, no little showers or tubs.

Thankful 🙏🏼

What motivates you?

God is what motivates me. He has given me so much. He has never turned His back on me. He has brought me out of the darkness. He is what gives me strength to get up each and every single day. He has given me clarity. He has helped me to focus. He is my best friend. He is what motivates me.

Always prepare for the worse.

Create an emergency preparedness plan.

I have always been a prepper extra waters and non perishable food. Candles, batteries, matches, first aid kit on and on.

I have been doing it for a while now. It’s funny during Sandy when we lost power for over 2 weeks it was because of my prepping that led us to not need anything from the outside.

I do think every person should have sort of plan for any emergency. Power outage you should have a plan. Civil war breaks out you should have a plan of escape.

I am not saying that is what I want but one must be prepared for the worse. It’s like buying insurance for a car or house. You may never use the full amount or at all. But you will be happy you have it if you’re house burns down or if you car is completely destroyed.

Making plans for an emergency is always smart. I suggest everyone have a plan. Where to go, a bag prepared to leave with, emergency supplies it’s just responsible especially when you have family that depend on you.

I did admire

What profession do you admire most and why?

People in the military. They give up everything to fight for our country freedoms. Not everyone has the courage or balls to do it. Strong men are made in tough times. Weak men are made in good times.

Many of the men I see today are extremely weak. They have absolutely no back bone. They are bent to the will of these feminists that have destroyed our society.

I think it’s extremely sad what feminism has really done today in our society. It’s has pushed back women rights.

In reality they have tried to destroy the genders and have made women equal to men and causing men to takeover women spaces.

This is the flaw in the feminist theory men and women are equal. The truth is men and women are very different but compliment each other.

It’s the way God made them. Adam and Eve were meant to be one. In being one that meant they were to be the half of each side. What he lacked she filled, what she lacked he filled making them one. Feminism has destroyed that. So now you have a complete destruction of the roles men and women play.

Is that progress no instead what it has truly done is make the world worse. This ideology has ruined thousands of children and will continue to destroy many others.

Because feminism doesn’t build anything it’s true nature is to destroy women and everything around them. It’s a lie told to girls and boys but what it’s true power is deception in the form of equality and tolerance.

The military was strong throughout our history, though today it’s probably a place filled with weak men and women. Because like I said before hard times create strong men, good times create weak men. Just how the way of the world works.

I did admire the military and the mindset of dying to save others. It’s the most Christ like thing you can do for your neighbor. They put their own lives on the line for our freedoms, but today it seems that isn’t what the military is anymore. It’s extremely sad.
