God is still here

Hello,  welcome to my blog
My name is Danuelle,  for those of you who are new to my page.
I want to start by saying, I hope you all enjoyed Thanksgiving  and family& friends! I really enjoyed every moment that I had with my family.

Today I wanted to talk about how to deal with the moments of life that  are dark and cold.
I know some people are having a hard time during this season of holidays because they have lost a love one. It does not matter how you lost that love one, it could have been a death or a divorce etc. But, a death or a divorce/break up can cause change and pain.
My heart goes out to those who had to go through losing a love one , especially  around this time  of the year. I know the feeling of losing someone you love, because I lost my baby boy he died before birth in the year of 2009, and it was during this time of the year.

It was so hard for me, but through prayer, and taking my mind of my self and I started thinking on ways, to turn this sad moment in my life around to help others, and I did by sharing my story on how God healed me from grief that would not leave and how I prayed to God to heal my heart! God did just that!

I had to rediscover my self during that season of pain, I also threw myself in the word of God and started to learn so much about the love of God. I wrote my first poetry book, I had became busy for God. I  refused to give up on life, because my emotions were all over the place. So I knew that, I needed to remain stable in my mind, I needed to be grounded in the word of God!

Time, and the word of God healed me!!! But I will always have a tender spot for my baby boy, but I know that he is in heaven!
My gifts like my poetry really helped me share what I was feeling inside during that time, and God shaped my life during the darkest time of my life! God allowed others to read my poetry or hear my story on how God healed me from the lost of my baby and they to were changed!


Hope you will enjoy one of my poems that I wrote during a time were I could not feel God. But God whispered and said...
I AM HERE!
I am here, I am in the trees, I am in the air!
I am in the stars, I am everywhere! 
I am here. I am in the whisper of a breeze and in the beginning of every worship love song!
I am here.
I am in the warmth of the sun, the cool of the bay.
The bend in your knees and the passion in how you pray!
I am here! I am in the words of many, in the hands who feed plenty!
I am here. Love is the grace of every cry the many colors of a rainbow in the sky, I am here!

Let's enjoy life!

Sometimes we can be so busy in life, that we forget to stop and enjoy the very special moments of life.
I was the work "driven mom" that could not celebrate my special moments. I would love to celebrate others my children, but when it came to me, I would never make a great deal out of my accomplishments.
I published my first book and I did not throw a big book signing or some big creative party! My birthday came around and guess who forgot about it! Yes, me.
So this November the 1st 2014, I choose to celebrate every moment! From my birthdays and my accomplishments, I am going to stop putting myself and my very special moments last! I know  some mom's out there can relate, we worry about everyone but ourselves.

So, lets make celebrating our selves apart of a "Love Journey movement"!
 "Love Journey Movement", is something I started with myself when I had to go through starting over. I talk about that in my first blog, loving self, learn new things, take up a sport, walk in your purpose, and for the most part make time to worship  Jesus!
So who is with me?  I hope all you ladies stop being so busy and just set a time to relax, have fun or celebrate yourself!
You may say, "Danuelle, I am a single mom and I don't have a babysitter". Well make sure you choose a special day and love on your babies and then send them to bed a little bit earlier than the normal time, and then once they are asleep set the mood to pamper your self with what you "LOVE"! It could be a  hot bubble bath with lavender scent bubbles or candles that smell great! You can also  set the mood for a  quiet time to enjoy a nice tray of sliced strawberries covered in chocolate and a inspirational book! Well,  the quiet time... it might night last long due to interruptions and you know that's ok... mommy duties we can't turn them off.

Some of us we might not have kids, but we might be married and even though you love him so much, it is always good to have that special moment to replenish your self and spend a moment alone with God! Let's not forget, planning a night with the girls is a super idea!!! Single mom's you know a night with the girls would be great! So married ladies, we know that you can be so busy with taking care of kids, helping the husband and work, you know we never really get the chance to hang out with our best friends, sister's or college buddies all the time, so a "girls night out" is always a great idea to plan just to escape the house for a brief moment! This type of fun can be scheduled on a day that you can step out for about a hour or two or more!  Now ...we can not do this all the time especially for those who are married, because our husband's and families need us and hey, what can I say we need them to!
Let's enjoy life!
