Keeping It Real – One Day at a Time


💙 Keeping It Real – One Day at a Time 💙


Hi everyone,


Today has been a rough day when it comes to blood sugar readings. I thought I had extra supplies with me, but guess what? I didn't. Things happen, and I am not going to put myself down over it. There was a time when I probably would have been frustrated with myself all day, but I am learning to give myself grace.


After dealing with high blood sugars most of the day, I finally got home and discovered the problem. My insulin pump site had come off, which meant I was not getting the insulin I needed. As soon as I changed it, my blood sugars started coming back down.


Praise God! 🙌


I am feeling so much better now.


Even after working until 11:30 last night at my new weekend job, God has given me the strength to keep going. I may be tired, but I am thankful. Sometimes living with Type 1 Diabetes means being a detective and figuring out why numbers are doing what they're doing. Some days are easier than others, but every day is a reminder that God is faithful.


I am also reminded that just because something goes wrong does not mean the whole day is ruined. We all make mistakes. We all forget things. We all have challenges. The important thing is that we keep moving forward and do not stay stuck in frustration.


The Bible tells us:


📖 "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." — 2 Corinthians 12:9


I have seen God's grace at work today. What started out as a frustrating situation ended with a solution, better blood sugars, and another reminder that God is watching over me.


As I continue this journey, I am believing for open doors that no man can shut. I believe God is moving behind the scenes. Between my new weekend job, my online businesses, and other opportunities He is bringing my way, I can see His hand at work.


📖 "What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open." — Revelation 3:7


So today I choose faith over frustration.


I choose gratitude over complaining.


I choose to trust God even when things do not go as planned.


If you are having a difficult day, don't give up. Take a deep breath, say a prayer, and keep moving forward. God is not finished with your story yet.


Have a blessed evening, and remember: God can open doors that no person can close. Keep believing, keep trusting, and keep the faith. 💙🙏

What Does It Mean to Be Christ-Like? Being Christ-like is more than a title we claim—it is a life we live. In the Bible, being Christ-like means reflecting Jesus’ character, attitudes, and actions . It means embodying radical love, humility, compassion, forgiveness, and self-sacrifice—even toward those who hurt us or oppose us. It is a daily transformation of the heart, led by the Holy Spirit, as we become more like Him. Being Christ-like is not about following rules or appearing religious. It is about carrying the heart of Jesus —a servant’s heart. It’s about letting the world see Christ in us through how we love, forgive, serve, and walk in obedience to God. Jesus taught us to love not only our neighbors, but also our enemies: “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” — Matthew 5:44 Christ-likeness means humility—laying aside pride and choosing obedience: “Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus…” — Philippians 2:5...

 🎥 Keeping It Real Making It Through Mother’s Day After Loss 💙 Mother’s Day can be beautiful… but it can also be incredibly hard when you’ve lost a child. This Mother’s Day has brought a lot of emotions for me. I miss my daughter deeply, and there are moments when the grief still feels very heavy. There’s an emptiness that comes with losing a child that never fully goes away. But by the grace of God, I’m making it through one moment at a time. 🙏 And while my heart misses my daughter here on earth, I’m also thankful for the blessings God has still given me. I still have my handsome son, and I have three beautiful grandchildren that I love with all my heart. 💕 They bring joy, smiles, and reminders that even after loss, life still holds precious moments. Grief and gratitude can exist together. You can miss someone deeply while still being thankful for the people who are still here. That’s something God has been teaching me.
