Just Bloom, Sis

Have you ever heard the phrase "but they're family" (or some variation of it) in some point in your life? That phrase irks me. That phrase pretty much says they can say what they want, treat you like garbage, talk about you like a dog BUT because you share blood, you have to give it a pass. Naaaaah, sis. In recent years I've dealt with "family" lying on me, saying disparaging things about myself and my child and who pretty much despise my existence and all I did was be born. Even after being confronted they still failed to own up to the wrong they had done.

Now this post isn't for the perfect folks who never have moments of weakness in their faith walk and everything is always rainbows, peaches and unicorns for them. I can't relate. And I'm not going to try to. 🤷🏾‍♀️ But if you're an imperfect being striving for perfection who tends to fall short more often than they'd like - keep reading! ☺️ Has life ever punched you so hard it's like you can literally feel the wind being knocked out of you? That's how I've felt these last few months. And, I'm not ashamed to admit that with everrrrrything that's been happening, I've had moments where all I see is what's surrounding me and my faith starts to shake. I can get so consumed with my issues and the RIGHT NOW that I forget that God is able to turn alllll of that around in an instant. The same One who was with Daniel in the lion's den...
