The TIME is NOW ... A NEW JOURNEY BEGINS ...

I KNOW ... I KNOW... I KNOW ... It's taken me a good minute to write in my blog. So many have been asking WHEN my next post will be ... Well ... HERE IT IS.      :o)

WOW! ... So many things have happened since the close of 2009 and the start of 2010. I believe my last post was on December 23, 2009. I am so grateful to GOD for allowing ME and ALL of YOU to see another year!!!  YAY!!!!

We are now in the month of February ... the start of Black History Month. I am excited! I honestly thought I had been through enough in 2009 ... but WHOA did the beginning of 2010 have it in for me (so I thought). I have been hit with some "heavy" blows since the start of 2010. My NEW Years was a blessing. I brought in the NEW YEAR with the people of GOD. What a HIGH time we had in GOD!!!... Nothing better than Partying with THEE ONE who allows us to see Another Year! (I wish I had a few readers to help me right there!!!!) LOL ... Ok, Ok, Ok  ... I felt a "preach" right there! :o)

*Takes a Deep Breath* ... On New Year's Day ... I spent most of the morning reflecting on all of the things that had taken place in 2009 and all of the people that passed away in 2009 ... and from that ... I continued to give GOD praise on top of praise!!!!  Come on let's be honest - there are some things that we went through in 2009 that had us wondering if we would even see 2010.

GUESS WHAT? ... YOU AND I ARE STILL HERE!!!!!!     

***What a GOOD place to give GOD Praise***

Later on New Year's Day I went to a good friend's home for her & her husband's Annual New Year's Party and I had a BLAST as always!

Several days into 2010 ... I was hit with sickness, Asthma began to take it's affect ... but I survived that! :o) One afternoon, I received a phone call that my babysister was found unconscious outside of her high school and was rushed to the emergency school ... all I can say is:  BUT GOD!!! ... days after that ... I took ill again and ended up with a 102 fever ... chills, coughing, sneezing ... BUT ... I BOUNCED BACK! ... received a call from a friend who's son had been having multiple siezures in a days time ... all I can say is:  TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!! He is well ... Then Asthma tried to stick it's ugly head back up again ... BUT despite of ALL of that ... GUESS WHAT?

I AM STILL HERE!!!!!  and it's ONLY by the GRACE OF GOD!!! (Thank you Dr. Dorinda Clark-Cole)

Those of you who have been following my blog and have read my previous posts, you are aware that I am ADOPTED, I have had the pleasure of meeting TWO of my Biological brothers, and one of my brother's daughter (My Niece). In My previous post, I've shared that no one knows where my biological mother is, some believe that she is deceased, YET there is NO proof of that anywhere. Neither one of my brothers have seen her in over a decade. In 2008, My oldest brother (before returning back to prison) ran into one of our mother's old friends and she told my brother that she saw our mother about two years prior. So as you can see, we have reason to believe that she coud possibly be alive.

So much has taken place since the start of my journey. It took me years to take the first step of wanting to search for my biological mother and while looking for my biological mother, (although I have never found her), I miraculously found Two of my brothers and a Niece (as I shared earlier). I also met a woman who was my mother's mother (my grandmother)'s neighbor and care-taker. She shared a lot of information concerning my family. All of the information she shared just CONFIRMED how blessed I really am!!!!

I have been through A LOT since this search ... some good and some NOT-so-good, but this is all a part of the Journey, I regret nothing ... just grateful of the life that I have. When I tell you that I AM BLESSED ... I truly mean it. Some time ago, I made up in my mind, that I no longer have a desire (right now) to meet my biological mother. (I know I know ... many would like to know WHY, right?) ... Well, to be quite honest with you, I am not "really" sure why I don't want to. Perhaps my feelings on this will change, but for right now, I have no desire. I am content.     HOWEVER ... I decided two nights ago, that I WILL begin to search for my biological father beginning NEXT week. For those that KNOW me, this will be a TOTAL shock to them, because I have NEVER had a desire to meet him, ... BUT while in prayer, HE (whoever he is) came across my mind and I think that I need to search for him and will do so starting NEXT week...

The BIBLE shares with us in:

ECCLESIASTES 3:1 - 8

1.There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under the heaven. 2. A time to be born and a time to die, A time to plant and a time to harvest. 3. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to rebuild. 4. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and time to dance. 5. A time to scatter stones and time to gather stones. 6. A time to search and a time to lose. A time to keep and a time to throw away. 7. A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak up. 8. A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.

Vs. #1 says it all ... "There is a time for everything,..."  Well the time to begin my search for my biological father is NOW.     :o)

So I Invite YOU to follow me on this NEW JOURNEY beginning NEXT WEEK ... ((Stay Tuned))

Keep Me In Your Prayers ...  GOD BLESS
