Blended with Power

This weekend our grand baby was born! It was awesome to see our blended family not only working together, but there for one another! Nicci and I BOTH being there with our son for the birth of his son is an experience that I will NEVER forget! This weekend, and I know in the future, allowed all of us to see how we have to be an example. Having children out of wedlock is a challenge. The other family looks at our family very strange because we ARE ONE! My prayer is that our example will help our grandson have the best life possible! BLENDED 4 a PURPOSE!

Showcasing Blended Families

We are looking to showcase various blended families during the month of February. Please send us a pic if you have one and share your story with us. You never know how your story, your trials and triumphs, could help someone out! Remember you are Blended 4 a Purpose!

Dare to be different!

This weekend was full of a lot of ups and downs. My son's baby shower was this weekend and that brought various emotions along with the fact that I heard the baby's heart beat for the first time. One of the things that I learned this weekend, trust me there were A LOT of things learned, was that people do not understand our blended family. We are looked at as weird. This completely baffled me and my family. I had to explain to my son that some people just love drama and they expect us to have drama and unfortunately they look for it. What we showed this weekend was a family that has come a long way, a family that has recognized that we ALL are a family, a family that will come together for our children, and a family that will make a difference. One thing that really hurt me was when a statement was made questioning my "role" with my son. But just as quick as the question was delivered, my son made the definite statement that I AM HIS MOM! We are daring to be different and NO ONE can break what we have going on!

What makes a family?

What makes up a family is different for each person. How I view a family is completely different from how I viewed a family years ago and most importantly how I view my family has changed. I always knew that family can consist of people who you are not blood related to and also people who you might not like but they are still family. Saying all of this that ex, baby momma, baby daddy, disrespectful step child or child, in laws, etc.... are ALL a part of your blended family and you are Blended 4 A Purpose! Be encourage! GOD can turn your situation around! I'm not just saying this, this is my testimony, WE are living proof!

De clutter

Most people have a whole lot of superstitions about the New Year, eat this, do this, clean this, etc.... But how many will keep them or what are the motives behind them? Is it to enhance the way others view you or is it to enhance how you view yourself? We rarely take the time to work on ourselves and wonder why or relationships are cluttered. Cluttered with doubts, jealousy, envy, strife, unforgiveness, hatred, and the list can go on. I challenge everyone to start some type of decluttering. Start with yourself and watch how it influences your relationships. “Clutter isn’t just the stuff in your closet. It’s anything that gets between you and the life that you want to be living, whether its in your home, in your head, in your heart or on your hips.”
