Passion

This blog has been relatively sad, because that is where I am right now. I realized that it was important to get some of my feelings about Jamie out in a healthy way, so I am choosing to write. But, there are also other things that are important to me. I decided to briefly list some of the things (in no special order) that are of importance to me, that I feel passionate about. I feel passionate about my personal relationship with God, about my husband and being a virtuous wife, about being a great mother to my wonderful children, about my siblings and them having the best in life, about striving to do the right things in life, about respecting my mother and father, about true forgiveness, about dancing to my own beat sometimes, about taking the time to be thankful, about being a role model to my children and others around me, about my "sissies", about all children who have lost a mom and/or dad or the parent figure in their life through death, drugs, poverty, illness, divorce, bad choices or whatever, about remembering and embracing from time to time who I was before I became a wife and mother, about adoption, about sweets, about figuring out how to keep my house clean more than 1 day, about ALL of my family(I don't even use the word in-law), about loving myself, about my nephews and niece that I don't get to see enough, about education, about getting a date with my husband from time to time, about curbing the senseless violence in this world, about singing my heart out when a song that I enjoy comes on, about saving for college for my kids, about the issues plaguing the community that I love, about adequate health care for everyone, about mixing the products just right on a curly hair day, about encouraging my children to be the best that they can be and to love themselves, about Africa, about being happy in this life, about my children behaving and learning in school, about embracing my curves-ALL of them, even the one on my stomach, about having the family that I dream of, about fighting to overcome obstacles in life, about taking time to just play with my kids, about becoming passionate about being healthier overall and losing some weight, about having a ladies night with my friends occasionally, about the crybaby in me and crying from time to time when I feel like it, about the inequalities in this world, about appreciating what I DO have, about the children waiting all over the world for a home-especially the older and special needs ones, about not judging others on their decisions in life, about hearing Bishop Jakes and Joyce Meyer and the others on TBN, about going back to school, about having a real savings account one day, about my "aunties", about stopping trying to control things and truly surrendering all to Him, about the children/families that I teach/have taught as well as the others whose lives I touch/have touched, about family reunions and staying connected, about fathers sticking around, about learning from-not dwelling on the past, about Lifetime Movie Network, about rainbows, about never forgetting Jamie.
A brief list.
