Claiming my Joy!

  "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy will soon come in the morning".  Psalm 30:5 I don't mind a good cry. Sometimes it is needed, but there comes a time when you get tired of crying, you get tired of being sad, and you get tired of being tired. The last 10 years were filled with crying, being sad, and depressed. I was really feeling like the pain and heartache I felt would never end. I felt stuck in my life until one day I decided I was going to choose joy over sadness. I decided to truly put my trust in God because he has never failed me, even when I didn't think he was listening to me.  In this season of my life, I've decided to try some new things, change some things, and get rid of things that are in my life that are not good for me.

                                                             "To Infinity and Beyond"!!!!!!          Remember this guy?

Hey there and welcome! is Christy or Chris for short. Yes, this is me in the pictures above with different members of my family. I can tell you right now we are not the Brady Bunch or This is US type of family. RIP Mama, Daddy, and Marvin. Between 2011 and 2016, I felt the world was crashing all around me. I lost both my parents and my spouse. I was a teenage mother, a single parent, a wife, and daughter-in-law, and a widow. It has not been easy, and I won't say I am healed behind it. One thing I do know is that everyone does not grieve the same way and that is okay. I have decided that life is still worth living, and even though I am in a strange, new season of life. There is more waiting for me. Quote of the day!
