Just when you need it..
God sends you a message to help you stay strong and to not give up..
I was reading something tonight and I was so inspired by the message about a guy leaving his very good job to follow what he feels like God wants him to do. And someone had left this.. which I NEEDED TO READ!!!!!!!!!!! I've been wanting to make so many changes and I've been feeling like God would have never put them in my heart so strong had He not wanted me to follow them. But, my pocket book doesn't allow me to get the things I need to go forward so I have been feeling like I'm not getting anywhere. And sometimes feeling like giving up.. This little message confirms to me, to stick with what you feel like God has put on your heart..
Listen to Him..
Christ doesn't call the equipped to do his work, he will equip the called. We must first answer his call.. <3
So... Don't give up!! Always.. Always follow your heart.. God put those desires of your heart there for a reason.
Daisy Girl <3

Do you ever feel all alone?
Do you ever feel all alone, like no one would even notice if you were gone?
I sure have.. a lot! :(
The last two years have by far been the most challenging in my life. I've had a pretty ruff life, losing my mom when I was only 7 and then my dad getting ill when I was 17.
That's when I met my boyfriend at the time.
I ended up marrying him at the age of 19 and then we soon started our amazing family. I had my first child at 21 and the second at 24. When I met my husband and started my family. I didn't have a need for anything else. I was totally content with my family.
I never finished school and by the time I started my family, I was to busy to go back and finish.
Then I started my own business and I didn't need it for that either.
So, I enjoyed my family life and thought nothing would ever come in between us..
Well, I was very wrong.
About two years ago, my husband met someone else while at work and starting cheating on me. Our "perfect" marriage
(so I thought) came to an abrupt end.
I was more than devastated.. I was with him for 20 yrs.
I was just a 17 yr old kid when we started dating.
I was sooo lost, it was by far the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life.. Even losing my parents, because they didn't choose to leave me. He did.
The last two years I have been trying to heal and find myself through all of the pain. I have two kids and no education. I had to move out of our home because it was to expensive
and that caused me to have to let go of my job of 11 yrs.
Once again I found myself lost, now I am a single mom with no job, no income, no education, no friends..
What a horrible place to be..
Thank God..
I have my kids, and I had my grandma, and my siblings.
I was very close to my grandma..
She believed in me when I didn't even believe in myself.
In April, I lost her. She was one of the only people I KNEW loved me and believed in me.. (besides my kids)
Once again I felt lost, and very sad.
I've been trying to find my way ever since.
I still don't have a job, or an education..
Working on that now!
Here I am getting ready to turn 40 & I'm
starting my life all over again..
Here I am getting ready to turn 40 & I'm
starting my life all over again..
I still don't have any friends around here.
All of my friends are in other states. :(
Still struggle financially..
And I would be a liar if I said I don't have bad days and feel so very sad & alone..
But, I keep reminding myself..
This is all a part of God's plan.
HE will get me through this in His time.
There are many many days I am weary, and I feel defeated.
But, God always has a way to uplift me and give me just enough strength to make it another day.
I know that God will turn all this around for good.
I will never understand why I have had to endure so much sadness in my life, but I will continue to trust Him, and believe He has better things on the way for me & my kids..
It's hard sometimes to watch everyone else have such a filled life, and be able to go here and there or to afford to buy their kids this & that. It's hard on me as a mom, to see my kids do without, but I know my kids are going to be amazing individuals with huge hearts & lots of compassion because they know what it's like go through hard times & to do without..
There has been many times I've wondered where God was and if he forgot about me, and how he could allow this pain to go on for so long..
But.. My faith is unshakable and even though I go through those weak times.
I will always trust in Him, and what He has for my life..
Today as I opened my Bible to get some much needed inspiration, I came across this scripture..
Just confirming to me He is on my side.
Just confirming to me He is on my side.
You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book. On the very day I call to you for help, my enemies retreat. This I know: God is on my side. Psalms 57:8

Be *YOU*nique..
Celebrate your individuality.. If you know you've got something special or different, then embrace it—don't hide it! That's diversity! You may wish that you were taller, or shorter, skinnier, stronger, whatever the case may be. But you need to realize that if you were like everyone else, then you wouldn't be who YOU are. Who are you? YOU are a unique individiual who has alot to offer.. just by being YOU... <3

FEAR IS OVERCOME WITH ACTION
FEAR IS OVERCOME WITH ACTION
One of the greatest surprises you'll experience in life is when you discover
that you can do what you were afraid you couldn't do.
Your obstacles will melt away, if instead of cowering before them,
you make up your mind to walk boldly through them.
Do the thing you fear and fear disappears.
Confront your fears, list them, get to know them
and only then will you be able to put them aside and move ahead.
When you face the things that scare you, you open the door to freedom.
The only thing you have to fear, is fear itself.

How I became Daisy girl..
Well, let's see.. I haven't always been Daisy girl. Most my life I was a scared insecure and very lost girl.. Still fighting with insecurities, and being scared but not like before. When I was 7 years old, my life changed when my mom passed away. I woke her up to show her something and when she woke up she was in horrible pain and I knew something was terribly wrong.. I screamed for my dad and he ran to her, and that was the last time I seen my mom. I remember it as it was just yesterday. She was a great woman and very talented, and I'm proud to say I got her creativity and her heart.. <3
I then became a big daddy's girl.. Couldn't have asked for a better dad. Not perfect but worked very hard to make sure his children were taken care of. When I was 16 I was getting ready to go visit my sister at work on her birthday, my dad was on the way to pick me up, so we could go together. As I waited for my dad, I got a horrible phone call and it was my sister saying my dad was in the hospital, he had suffered a brain aneurysm, and they weren't sure if he would make it. Someone came to pick me up and I remember the horror in me that this man whom I loved soo very much might leave me too. Got to the hospital and my dad remained in a coma for about 30 days then got moved to a rehab and started therapy to get better, he had to learn how to walk again, talk again.. It was very hard to deal with. He was never the same dad I had before, the hard working strong man that I depended on. He was a different man now, whom I loved the same but he couldn't work, drive, and walked with a walker. I was grateful he was alive. He lived with my grandparents for the next four years. Then one day I got a call from my grandmother saying something was wrong with him he had a seizure and was rushed back to the hospital. Apparently he had another slow leak in his brain and had to have surgery. They said he would be like he was before he went in. He came out of surgery and then must have had some strokes cause he got worse and worse. He ended up not able to speak, eat on his own, walk or anything. All he did was laid there. The hardest part of watching my dad helpless was that he knew everything that was going on, if I ask for a kiss he would pucker up his lip, if I winked at him, he would wink back. If I told him to look at me, he would. But, that was it. He was trapped in his own body. He didn't have the proper care this time, because he had no insurance like before. So, he remained in a hospital for over 10 years until his body couldn't take anymore. We got called to the hospital and everyone came, he waited for all of us to be there and I held his hand and he squeezed my hand as he left me for good. I knew he was going to a better place but I still didn't want to let go.
When I was 17 I met a boy who soon became my husband and the father of my children. We were a great family. Until a few years ago my husband started to change, I couldn't understand what was wrong or why he was acted so different. One day he decided he didn't want to be married to me and was ready to leave. He had met someone else and no longer wanted to be married. This was a man I trusted with everything inside me, never ever thought he would leave. But he was gone. And my heart was broken. I was so sad and him leaving me left me scared, and I felt soo unworthy. I mean what was I gonna do without my rock. I was with him since I was 17 yrs old. (21 yrs) My best friend was gone. But, to make a very long story short.. I forgave him for what he's done to me, and I'm learning to be ok with what life has for me.
So, now I am a single mom. I felt lost at first, I felt like I didn't fit anywhere. Confused on where to go or what to do. So, I started creating and painting again. I've always loved creating things, and my all time dream was to have stores all over carry my handmade items. Now, I'm pushing forward and following my heart and my dreams. God has opened my eyes to soo many different things, and believe me mentally and financially it has been so hard. We have struggled over the last few years, but I know God has good things for us. I have FAITH in Him and I believe things will be ok. He's shown me that the person that I always thought was my rock, wasn't.. HE IS MY ROCK!! <3
So, why "DAISY" girl? Well, while I was not sure where to fit into this world, I was not sure who I was anymore, I had been a wife for so many yrs, now I was alone. I wasn't sure which direction to go, or what I was gonna do. I started looking up ANYTHING inspirational. I came across a post by Melody Ross. I started reading her posts and started to feel very encouraged. One day one them was about being yourself even with imperfections. If you were born a Daisy. Don't try to be a Daffodil. Just be a Daisy!! Be the best wildest craziest Daisy you can be. In other words.. I have weaknesses and strengths and both are ok. Because, I am ME!! So, I needed to accept myself for who I was. I am Daisy Girl.. So, as I was thinking what Daisy stood for, for me.. I came up with

That's me!! Daisy girl.. <3
