Foot check?!?

So today I went to doctor to get my foot checked. Not only is there a tear in a ligament but I also have a deep sprain in one of the ligaments that are “strongest” ones in the foot. I am going to have to do therapy and walk with the stupid foot corset till it gets better. 

It’s funny since I was young I have always been accident prone. I have always blamed Satan 🤣. I always would say “damn Satan is really trying to take me out” not just take me out but with walls, floors, kitchen island, chairs, stairs, doors, sidewalks, my cat. It’s endless the ways he has tried. 

I laugh about it now but in reality I have always felt that way. Still I am grateful that regardless of all the “accidents” I have had I am still alive to write this blog. Not only alive but grateful for each and every scar that I have gotten on this journey called life. 

We must always be grateful for the good and bad moments in life. It’s through the bad moments we learn to cherish the good moments even more. So even though I will end up in therapy for my foot, hopefully I will learn to tolerate the pain and get through each moment smiling. 

For each day we wake up is a good day.  ~Emma~ 

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.

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.

Chasing you? Nope that’s a hard pass!

Disappointed is some thing I have become very familiar with. Just when you start to feel comfortable around people you find out that they are complete jerks. You want to try to do your best, you wanna to fit in but when you realize that you don’t, it’s doesn’t seem to matter as much. As I have gotten older I realize that I’m more comfortable in my skin. As time flows by I realize that the people that I want in my life, won’t ask to be in it. If you don’t want to be in my life, leave. I will never ask you to be in it. If you feel that you want to leave, I am not going to hold you back. I want you to be able to want to stay. I don’t want to be second place, I don’t wanna be the default choice I want to be the one that you choose. If you can’t do that, and if you feel like you’re missing out then by all means walk away. If you think that I’m going to sit here and beg you to stay, you’re wrong. I’m an extremely loyal person and if I can’t get that loyalty back, I don’t want you in my life. It’s not about making the wrong choices. It’s about knowing my worth and I know I am worthy of being loved and being happy. Surrounded by people that want to be with me. Surrounded by people that love me for me. Surrounded by people that accept me for me.

People are like seasons, in the summer you feel the heat of some peoples love. In the winter, you feel the chill and cold you see the real face of people that hide it so much to not show. In the spring, you might find the warmth of the sun that makes you think people can change. Like a rose that is blooming. But just like the autumn season, you see the beautiful colors of change and right before winter the leaves die, the flowers die, and everything dies right before the cold of winter. People are exactly the same way. You may never get to see their real cold side. You may never get to see the blooming rose in the spring and you may never feel the heat of summer, but you definitely get to feel the autumn right before the winter when everything has died.

Some things need to be let go of, I won’t hold you to your word. I won’t even try to win you back. I won’t even try to talk to you to reason with you. Because in the end I chose me. And my choice, I chose to walk away. Because in the end you are not worth fighting for. If you feel, I am not worth fighting for I think we are exactly where we are supposed to be. On the opposite of friendship. You make time for the people who mean something to you. Let this be a lesson to learn that letting go or walking away is more powerful than being surrounded by snakes.

I wish you the best always ~Emma~

Bring back shame!!!

What would you change about modern society?

I would make everyone stop sharing what their sexual pleasures are!!! I mean honestly there is absolutely no shame any more for people who walk around naked in front of children. It’s my biggest beef with the society we are living in. We have no shame and have allowed ourselves to be brainwashed into a state of fake tolerance. The only tolerance that exists right now is the tolerance from the ones trying to destroy our society. Because anyone that has morals or simply doesn’t want certain things to be before kids are considered to have some sort of phobia. It’s ridiculous and I am so over it. Can I watch House of the dragon without having two girl kiss absolutely not why because it’s now become the norm. No story needed just add two girl making out just because. I am up to the point I have sworn off all American tv from my list. I am watching C dramas, k dramas why because majority of it is clean. There is no kissing no naked people jumping around and the best part is the storyline. They actually have a reason for each character to be where they are. I have given up on exploring any tv from America. It’s absolutely shameful the writing in these shows. House of the Dragon was a waste of time don’t bother!!! I should have stuck to my first instinct and not even bother.

To my sister

Today I got the chance to enjoy the day celebrating the birthday of my sister. She is extremely annoying and completely drives me insane at times. But without my sister I would be lost. I love her more than words can ever say. She is smart, beautiful and kindhearted. Though most times we stand on opposite sides of most things in life, she is the only one I have. So to my amazing sister I wish a wonderful birthday filled with many blessings. May God grant you many healthy years ahead with many wonderful blessings in the future. Love always, Emma
