Dear Margo Blue, You did a whole lot- a lot of good and a lot of bad, but I’m so proud of you for learning. You experienced a lot in life at an early age but the good thing is that you matured early. Your 20’s were a mess! You jacked up ALOT, girl! But again I’m proud of you for learning. You truly learned a lot, and those learnings came with a lot of losses and a lot of tears. But you got thorugh it- you are so strong. 25 was an outstanding year for you. At 25 you gave your life to Christ and you were…

Lord I Thank You: 8 Things
As I ended my day I realized I hadn’t wrote in my personal journal in some time so I pulled it out and just began to write. I wrote the date, titled it “God Time” (as I regularly do) and I began to write 8 things I’m thankful to the Lord for. I decided I would share this because sometimes we don’t take notice to the little things that Jesus does for us. Lord, I thank you: 8 Things I’m Thankful For 1. Everything. I live a comfortable life. I’m blessed, and although my life isn’t perfect, I realize the difference that Jesus makes. My life today is much…

Trust God Above Everything
There are times in our lives when doing the will of God will not make sense to others, but we must learn to trust God above everything. God requires His servants to trust Him completely, no matter what it looks like. Think about it: Can you imagine Daniel in the lion’s den? Noah building the ark? Or, Moses facing the Red Sea? Servants of the Lord must have great faith! They must be able to place the spiritual above the natural. They must be able to hear the voice of the Lord louder than those of people. Trusting and following God is not an easy thing to do. We must…

I Pulled Over To Write: 5 Things On My Mind
I’m driving listening to “The Body” by Wale and I was inspired to write, so here I am.. You know I love lists so let’s go! 5 things on my mind right now: 1. Happiness, or anything worthwile, will not be handed to you. Worthwhile things require work. Don’t believe me? Check out depression statistics. Happiness doesn’t always come easy. 2. Don’t force things. I’m learning to give up control when it comes to so many things. I can only do so much, and I’m learning to not expect myself to handle everything. I can’t force people to understand me or to do anything else for that matter. This…

WOMEN: Be The BADDEST
When I say be the BADDEST I’m not referring to competing with anyone, or trying to be better than the next woman. I don’t think comparing ourselves will help us be the best that we can be. Honestly, I think comparing ourselves to others can make us feel worse about ourselves. When I say be the BADDEST I’m referring to us as women being the best that we can be. Focusing on ourselves, our growth, our goals, and our business so we have no choice but to get better. Being the BADDEST requires us to prioritize and keep our focus where it needs to be. When I say be the…

MARRIAGE: Marriage is a Priority
If we are contemplating marriage then one thing we must wrap our minds around is the fact that marriage is a priority. This can be a difficult part of the process of marriage, as other priorities must shift. Marrying someone means that you are becoming one with them. This means that we should always consider our mates and how our decisions will impact them. There is no other relationship that requires us to become one with someone. The Bible clearly tells us that we become one with our partner: “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will…

Friction in your Relationships? 5 Tips to Consider
Friction in your relationships? No one is perfect so inevitably we will experience friction in our relationships from time to time. The key is to learn to respond the right way. Here are 5 tips to consider when experiencing friction in your relationships: 1. First and foremost, relationships require work! I think we tend to anticipate work when it comes to succeeding in life, but we understand this less when it comes to succeeding in relationships. We anticipate working in our career or throughout college, but we tend to overlook the responsibility and work that relationships naturally require. We tend to give up on relationships easier than we give…

Expecting Keziah: Grateful To God For My New Life
In 2013 I was down & depressed, but now in 2015 I feel extremely blessed. I am so grateful to God for my new life. It’s funny how we never know what’s in front of us, all we can do is pray and hope for the best. My life has not been easy, I’ve cried so many tears; but I can sincerely say that I’m moving into a new stage and I’m truly thankful. If we look within and change ourselves, we set ourselves up for some wonderful things. Change is the hard part, though, and I believe it’s where most of us short-change ourselves. We’d rather stay the same and accept what we know as…

MARRIAGE & FAMILY TIPS: Marry before kids
I don’t think we always understand how huge it is to have someone’s child. Our culture has told us that it’s okay to have children outside of wedlock, and although it certainly happens, it should never be our goal. The goal should be to marry before kids. Having kids with someone keeps you connected to them, even when you’d like to disconnect the relationship. When you have kids with someone they are entitled to a certain level of knowledge about your life that they probably wouldn’t have if you didn’t have a kid(s) together. It’s important to remember that if you are no longer with the kid’s mother or father then…

About Margo: 10 Things I’ll Always Do
I got this idea from another writer so I decided I’d write my own list. Here goes! 10 Things I’ll Always Do: 1. Pray. I’ll always want to revere God above everything and remember that He is all that, not me. 2. Read. I love learning and I’ll always want to read, especially autobiographies and basically anything that’ll help me grow. 3. Be loud. I talk loud, I laugh loud, I’m just loud. I don’t want to be obnoxious but I do always want to be me and being me is being rather loud. 4. Compliment. I try to be an intentional complimenter (yes I just made this word up). I…
