Time is a Theif

I have not blogged in a while because I really pushed myself for Thanksgiving and my body and Lupus pushed back. Let's just say that Kim lost that fight and truth be told I wanted to surrender and give up on the war. Please know that depression is real and it needs to addressed and dealt with. Stop wasting Time.

I was in my kitchen doing what I loved baking for KimsKakery and it hit me that time keeps on moving. My house is decorated with Christmas and all I could do was think about my Father who passed away almost 13 years ago on 12/23. I thought it feels like yesterday that I had both my parents on this side of heaven. He was my best friend my A1 my dude. I can recount the day he died minute by minute because when I woke up on 12/23 I had a Father living but by the time I went to bed he was dead. Time is a theif.

The older you get the more you realize that really no man knows the time or day that God will take you away from here. And what have you done in your dash?You know 1975-(dash) the day good says let's go.
I have lost so many people that I loved and that loved me. I have buried a parent and I man that I loved. I have buried all of my Grandparents one set my Mother's parents 3 months apart in the same year. Not to mention the Aunties and Uncle's who stood in the gap and loved me like my parents. Hell at this stage of my life I have lost friends too. Some to cancer (#cancersucks) and others to sudden tragic events or disease. Time really is a theif.

I have things that I thought would make me happy. I have Louis Vuitton, Coach (9), Dooney and Burke,Kate Spade, and MK. I have the sneakers in the color I want trust me I am special.  But I would give it all up for time. Time is a theif.

Five years ago I could have never seen my life as it is right now. I have not seen my 17 year old son since September. My daughter is changing and growing into a beautiful young woman right before my eyes. My Mother has also started to slow down never thought that would happen.

Time keeps moving 5 years ago I could climb steps no problem 5 years ago I did not know the feeling of my body totally shutting down or being in the hospital with a silent heart attack.  How and when did we get here. Time is a thief. When God gave Hezekiah back 15 years because He turned his back to the wall worshipped God in the midst of hearing that he was going to die. And in my foolishness I thought 15 years is nothing how stupid.

Time will keep moving make sure that you slow down and enjoy life and savor all that God has given you. Make sure you understand that when God's clock stops that is the end forever and ever ever.....EVER!!!!!!

Just tell the truth damn it.

My son has been officially missing for over 30 days. And let's tell the truth he is 17 and a young black man no one is looking for him. The odds have been stacked against him since birth born to a single Mother with a absent Father. However he is still my son and he means the world to me. He is living with people I don't know know and places that I have no idea about. Where do these people come from that don't say let's call your Mother and let her know that you are safe. People in Charlotte are getting killed everyday and I live with that fear daily. But in the era of Facebook lies and Snap chat 24 hour cycle and Instagram celebrity nothing is real. I have to pray and love him and brace myself for what comes next. I have to love him enough to let him at 17 make these choices and pray that God will give him the Grace and time to fix the error of his ways. He not only needs to mend the relationship with me but with my Mother and his Sister who have both been hurt. No...

Being transparent in this season of my storm.

On the journey of doing this blog it has given me a sense of freedom about my life and my truth is just that. I have lived thru many things in the last 365 days that I had no idea I could live thru. My health has gone from where I didn't feel like trash everyday to now some days getting out of the bed takes a pain pill and an hour just to make it. But because I have kids and I am taking care of my Mother I have no choice but to make it happen. This was not supposed to be my life. I love being a Mother and it is truly the best thing that has ever happened to me. But this year my son has pushed me to the limits to wonder why I gave up my life to be his Mother. I am sure that being my son is not a piece of cake and that I can be the bitch from hell. But I have never done anything but make sure that he was always taken care of and provided for even if it was to my own detriment. If my kids had or have a need my life and health go on the back burner. Afte...

My Sunshine has come.

I have not blogged in a few weeks and so much has happened. I started not to blog about it but I promised myself that I would blog about the good the bad and the ugly. I know that this helps me process my feelings and it helps some Mother or Father not feel alone. My son came home on July 30th. It was my Mother's BIRTHDAY and I know that he made her day. She was able to see him and  talk to him and that was what she had been her prayer for months. Jordan was happy to see her brother and my house felt like old times, I was in the kitchen cooking my Cubs were laughing and listening to music.and having a good time with each other. I felt for the first time in months that I could breathe. Zachary came to me and asked if he could come home. I was taken aback when he asked and of course I said yes. I had always told him that this would always be his home and that he would always be able to come back. But of course coming home came with rules and expectations. I knew that once he came...
