Absoultely Unbelieveable...!...?...

       I am so disappointed in the so-called Christian men of today. They claim to be Christian, (Christ-like), but are they really.?. I have realized that the idea of men just saying what they think this woman or that woman wants to hear, is still the case today, more than ever before.

       From my experience it is a lot like the men are the fishermen and they think that women are fish. Let me explain further. When a man goes fishing he baits the hook, the fish bites and gets hooked, then he pulls the fish out of the water, sees the fish, and if it is not perfect in every way, he throws it back in. The bait is the man's words that "need" to be said which is just enough to entice an interest from the woman. The interest of the woman is when the fish bites and gets "hooked". The pulling of the fish out of the water, is just like when they man and woman finally meet. Once they see each other and the man decides that she is not perfect for him, he throws her back in "the water", or society. He does this with no explanation as to why he is throwing "the fish" back in, instead of keeping it. Then he is never to be seen or heard of again. Is this pretty self-explanatory, and/or understandable?

       I am blogging about this because I have not yet met a truly genuine and sincerely honest Christian man, if any of these kind of men really exist. They all seem to be superficial, in my opinion. So unfortunate, isn't it? I'm sure you're wondering what happened to cause me to feel and think this way. Are You?

       Well, here it goes: I have met a few guys on the internet and have been surprised by some of their expectations. One that really got me thinking was the one that wanted to be just friends with benefits. He wanted a physical monogamy, but did not want a committed relationship. Are you stinking kidding me???...!... Before we met we would talk, text and email one another a lot, but once we met and he did not get what he wanted, he was gone. Not much talking unless it is to ask for his "needs" to be met. This is a Christian Man? Seriously? Not in my book.

       There is one other person I would like to give credit to giving me a reason to fell/think this way. I chatted with this one for a short time, recently, and he was excited to meet. Until we met that is... SMH. I guess I was not the "perfect" "fish" he was looking to catch, or that he thought I might be. I quit. It is going to be just me and my kids and of course, My Heavenly Father. Amen.

My last blog for class.

Oh wow, this term zoomed by super fast. I can't believe we are already done with this term. I am looking forward to graduating; however, I plan to continue my education like I mentioned in a previous blog. I just wish I could get a job during the day and only go to class at night. I love going to class at night, rather than during the day. The classes seem to be so different, just as different as night and day. My last term is going to be only my last Private Investigation classes, so I won't be seeing any of you all in there, but I will keep up with each and every one of you through your blogs. I also hope you all keep an eye on my blogs also, so that I can get feedback from each of you.

This class has been wonderful, and I would not have ever even attempted to blog if it wasn't for this class. I would not have ever thought about blogging. I was apprehensive about blogging when we were told we would have to blog, in the beginning of this class. Now I am so thrilled that we were told to blog. I love it and I love keeping up with each of you this way. It helps us all to know one another well and gives the feeling of friendship. I hope the very best for each of you and may you all be richly blessed in all you do and every where you go from here on. Be careful in this crazy world and take care.

What is up with me now....

Hello, everyone. I need to write two blogs so here is my first one. I decided to use green as my font color for upcoming St. Patrick's Day. I know that my father is making corned beef and cabbage for dinner on Monday, it is a family tradition, if you will. I like the idea of having that as a tradition. All family traditions are nice and give you that warm and fuzzy feeling. Do any of you feel that way also about family traditions? As for my plans for this weekend.... I don't usually make plans. I will take it as it comes, like I usually do. I am thinking that I might take my kids to a park or something like that, after grocery shopping.

I recently took my little one to McDonald's and let her play on their play place and she loved it once she got used to sharing with the other kids there. I wanted to leave, but she said she wanted to play more.... Well, I ended up telling her that I would take her to the park, outside instead. Man, Oh, Man..... What was I thinking.?. She agreed with leaving but she was not going to forget about what I said about the other park, so that is where we went next. She loved it there also. Now she is always saying that she wants to go to the park. Lol. So..... I guess I am going to take her to the park this weekend some time if not everyday this weekend, because it is a good idea to keep her moving and getting exercise, instead of letting her sit and watch TV all day. Do you all agree with me here?

Oh, yeah. She also loves going for LONG walks. Yes, I said LONG walks. That is great that she likes to move, because that might be a habit that stays with her through the years. Then I won't have to worry about her so much, when it comes to her staying fit and healthy. I need to also walk and take my other daughter out for walks, she is gaining weight now and I don't want her to get self-conscious about her weight. This daughter of mine is 11 years old and weighs over 160 already. That is crazy and I want her to get fit so that she will keep a positive outlook about her body, her health, and everything else. So, maybe we should all start walking as a family, hmmm.?. That sounds okay I guess. Is this a wise decision???

Okay, that is all for now. Have a wonderful weekend. Stay safe, and be blessed.

Jennifer's Future Plans

Hello, everyone. I hope all is well with all of you. I missed writing a blog for last week, sorry about that. I had so much going on that I did not know what to write about. I have been thinking about what I am going to do after my last term here. I have one term left and my Externship to complete, then I need to know what step to take next. I am still looking for work; however, I am rather sure that I am going to continue my education. I believe that it doesn't hurt to learn more and earn another degree or two or three.

I have decided to enroll for the Criminal Justice Bridge in Daytona State College and possibly see if I can also complete my CDA for childcare. This will enable me to branch out towards the childcare field where I already have years of experience, and to branch out towards the legal field further. After that, I plan to enroll for a Paralegal Degree so that I can up my knowledge and potential. I believe with all this knowledge I will have more careers to choose from, rather than just one or two. I could even take it all and work for the State of Florida.

I am trying so hard to focus on flourishing myself as an individual and mother; which will then allow me to properly focus on assisting my kids to further establish themselves to their fullest potential also. I have tried to totally focus on my children; however, I find that doing this puts MY potential at a stand still. I can multi-task, don't get me wrong here, I just can't fully concentrate on so many things at one time. I know all will work out as God has planned, because I have left and always will leave things in my life and my children's lives, in HIS hands.

Ultimately, when I am through with all of these steps, my final step is to be a Counselor to people of all ages. Then again, I may just work with children or adults, instead of all people of all ages. What do you all think about all of this? Do you think I am making the right choices here for me and my children? Let me know, I would love to hear what all of you have to say. Thanks for following me. I truly appreciate it.

What happens when you show up in your teenagers class by surprise?

Wow, I had some fun yesterday. I went to the middle school to attend a conference with my daughter's teachers and they had a lot of wonderful things to say about her. I just need to assist her with establishing much better organizational skills. I can do that with no problem. I found out that my daughter loves to read in every one of her classes. I think that is great, but then again, it depends on if it is getting in the way of her learning in each of those classes. I told her to pay more attention in her classes to the teaching and the work in those particular classes, and read if she has extra time. I also told her to take notes in every class, because that will help her to study and truly grasp all the concepts that she is being taught.

Well, after the conference was over, I decided to stay at the school and see if I could keep an eye on my son. He was already suspended once for being tardy to class, so I wanted to make sure he was doing what he had to in order to make it to class on time. After waiting for over an hour, I was finally able to take to the assistant principal in the 8th grade house. He was more than happy to allow me to hang out on campus and make sure my son was getting to class on time. The 8th grade counselor also was happy to hear that I will be around more to keep an eye on my son. Ha ha ha . I am sure they are having a ball talking about me being at the school yesterday.

I am sure you want to know what happened when my son saw me, right.?.

Here we go. I walked over to my son's class with the assistant principal, and my son was in class working on the computer. I was told, " Go sit next to him, I want him to see you and know that you are here". " Ha ha ha." So, I did go sit next to him, and I tapped on his shoulder and asked him why he was late to class. Lol. His face was so serious and he had to think for a moment before answering me. His first teacher held him back and made him late, we made sure to verify that he was telling the truth. I stayed on campus for another hour so that I could be there when they changed classes again. Right before the release bell, I walked over to his class room and watched him walk out with other students. I made sure he saw me out there. I walked around the building and back to the class room to make sure he was in class on time, and sure enough, he was there. One of the administrators that stands on patrol told me that he practically ran there to make sure he was on time. Lol, right? I should have stayed longer, but I left after seeing that he was back to work.

I plan on going to the school on my days off from school here, that way both my kids know that I am not playing with them. They need to be responsible and put forth effort as I do. I know they can do so much better in school then they are showing me right now. Sometimes I just need to give them a reason to do their best, even if it means I need to be on campus to motivate them... ha ha ha . I hope you all liked my story.  Let me know what you think. God Bless, and take care.

It's Valentine's Day... Oh Boy...

Well, here we are at Valentine's Day 2014.

I remember when I was younger and hated this day. I did for a long time, up until just recently. I used to cry every Valentine's Day.  My mother, and maybe even my father, used to bring home a rose and a little box of chocolates for me.  Sometimes I even got a card with a personal message or prayer inside also. I always said thank you to my mother; however, I also always said," but it's not the same." She always knew what I meant. I wanted a boy/guy to give me something on Valentine's Day, but it never ceased to surprise me that I received nothing, ever. It never failed, I would come home from school sad and ready to lock myself in my room and cry, while writing and/or drawing in my journal/diary. To be honest, I still have those journals.

Things changed recently, though, Thank God.

Now, I love Valentine's Day, not more than Christmas though... I wonder why my thoughts and feelings changed all of a sudden. I think it all changed because I decided that I can just do things for others. It makes me feel so good to give people a little happiness and love on this day, just to see their smile. Little things to me mean the most anyway. I think it all has a lot to do with the fact that I truly gave my thoughts and feelings to my God like never before, just a few months ago. I believe that he has been working on me quite a bit, and the fact that I have unknowingly changes my view of even just Valentine's Day, proves to me that he has been doing as he said; and molding me to be the Woman Of God that he intends for me to be. Thank you, Jesus, for all of that.

I hope everyone has the best Valentine's Day ever this year, whether you go out or stay home. Please just remember that the love we get from others and/or ourselves, does not even compare to the Love God Has for each and everyone of us. Take care, Be safe, and God Bless always.

It's Going To Be a Beautiful Day! Just Wait...

Hello, again. Another day has come and it is going to be a beautiful one at that. Today is the 7th and I love the number 7. As far as I know, the number 7 is used in the Bible a lot. That is one reason that  I love it so much. Even though it is gloomy outside, I know it is going to be a great day of many blessings. There is something in store for me today, I just feel it. I wonder what it is. I think I am going to take my son out with me to get a manicure, seeing that he wants my to clean and cut his nails and all. I will surprise him tonight. What do you think about this idea? Any thoughts?

I have been trying to keep up with everyone on their blogs and commenting as much as I can, because I know it helps me to voice my opinions, thoughts, and feelings. It also helps me to think more about my God and His Word. I hope and pray that my children get to know HIM as well as I do, if not more than I do. I hope their Love for God and His Word flourishes like nothing ever before in their lives. I know my son is going to be a great man of God, even though I don't know how. I just know it. Oh, and my oldest daughter is going to be a wonderful woman of God in so many ways, I already see it in her. They have some work to do in their walk, but I know that Jesus has got their hands and back the whole way.

I will be praying for all the blessings that God has for each and everyone of us. May you all be blessed and stay faithful in whatever your faith, joy, peace, and love is in. Take care.
