God will have the last say.

Today is the day that I have dreamed of since 8/19/99. Today is the day that my son should be graduating from High School and getting ready to start the next chapter of his life. This was supposed to be a happy day. My family was supposed to be excited that another milestone has been reached. I had so much of his life planned out how this should go. But now I know that God will have the last say concerning my son.

I am watching kids and Parents posting cap and gown pictures and it hurts that I am not doing the same things. I am not jealous or envious I am sad. I have been threw so much as a single Mother and I sacrificed so much so that he could succeed in all areas of his life. I had no idea that this was the plan. When I saw his future I saw a different path. But that is what I wanted and how I saw things.

The bible says that His plans are not your plans. And this is so true especially when it come to be a parent. Yes I took some wrong turns. Yes I failed. Yes I was wrong. Yes I prayed. Yes I love him. Yes I would give my life for him. And then God said this is not your battle. God is the Alpha and the Omega so he has seen the end before he was born. And I have to trust God to do just what he said.

All I ever wanted was to protect my kids. To give them a happy life and to instill values and love that would give them a firm foundation. And God said your time is not my time and your ways are not my ways. And I have to accept that and learn a new normal.

I continue to pray and have faith. Because in the end as parents that is all we can do

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...

Come take a ride with me.

So here goes I am by no means a writer or a professional.  However I am a 40 year old mother of 2 teenagers that keep me on my knees in prayer. This blog is not meant to teach anyone anything it is a outlet for me. My goal will be to post everyday good and bad and to be transparent.  If I don't post it maybe a bad Lupus Day and shit no one wants to hear about I promise. Being a single Mother I have learned so many things and still have so much to learn. Kids have a funny was to change a selfish self-centered girl into a woman who forgot about herself so that her kids would never have to suffer. Now I am not going to tell you a fairytale or blow smoke up your assistance but I have believe that I am not the only Mother with two teenagers and suffering from a chronic disease and trying to make sense out of life. So we go to far Hello my name is Kim and I have a son who is 16 and a daughter who 13. I suffer from Lupus,congestive heart failure asthma and the new kid on the mixe...
