Greater is coming

It has been a minute since I have blogged and so much has happened. Some good some bad and yes some sad. It is not easy to put your life on the paper and then to let people read what my life has been like but I need it help me and I pray that it helps someone else.

The last time I blogged it was about my Zachary and the life choices that he was making and how I have to learn to let him lead his life and to make the best.  He is no longer living at home and this is permanent decision. He is 18 and he wants to live a life that I can not agree with so he is not here. My Mother use to say if you can't follow the rules and regulations of my house then you need to find somewhere else to live. It hurts me that I don't know where my son is living. But I do know that God will take care of him. As his Mother I carried him for nine months but he is in my heart forever. I pray everyday that God will restore our relationship and that he will look in the mirror and see the Zachary that I see. I have learned that I am not the only person with a child and a strand relationship but I guess I am the only dummy putting out for the world to read.

I know that I can not live my life in the shadow of my children I have to live for me. I have to learn about Kim and learn to take care of her. My health has to be my main focus. Since I have had one stroke the odds of me having another are extremely high I may not be so lucky the next time. You have to know that the stroke was the best and worst thing to happen to me. It showed me that the way I was living and was going to kill me and that would not be fair to my wonderful daughter who deserves to have a mother that is present in her life.  For the first time in years I had a blood pressure of 134/84. My Doctor was speechless and rightfully so. When I had my stroke my blood pressure was 202/168.  I was so happy because that means that I am taking care of me. And with me taking care of me it is allowing me to see clearly and to be present in the moment.

Chapter 42 will be the best chapter of the book of Kim. My business is getting my full attention and I see so much growth for Kimskakery. I have found my lane and if I stay in my lane then all I can do is win.

Jordan is adjusting to being the only child at home. It is a hard adjustment for her to not have her brother everyday to lean on and talk to. I also pray that God will restore her relationship with Zach because all they have is each other. Jordan is doing amazing in school. She is being inducted into the National Honor Society at her school. She has also been extended a wonderful opportunity to be able to graduate from high school with either a Associate Degree or at least two years of credits that can be transferred to any college. To say I am proud is a understatement I am in awe of her and all of her accomplishments. In the 3rd grade I was told that she could not read on grade level and that she needed to be held back. I said no and we worked super had she amazed every teacher and counselor and the way she paced out of the IEP. I had to really go to war for her so that everyone saw what I saw a intelligent child who would succeed.

I truly believe that Greater is coming for my family and I don't when it will happen but everyday I will get up and give it my ALL.

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...
