LEVEON'S KINDERGARTEN GRADUATION PRESENT

 

Happy Saturday my sweet friends. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I appreciate the time you took to be here. This weekend has been a very fun one for me and my family. I just wanted to share the joy with everyone of you today. So I hope you are all having a great day and are not letting anyone or thing steal your joy!
Here's the purpose for this blog. It is to acknowledge the goodness of God in this moment. My son Le'Veon graduated Kindergarten a STRAIGH "A" student. Zoe and I are so proud of him. Le'Veon is very committed to being great at everything he does and that's one of his strengths. He prides himself in doing very well at anything he sets his mind to. This quality he got from me :). Haha I am an African parent and all those who can relate will understand.


In order to celebrate his accomplishment, I surprised him with a trip to swim and relax at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis in downtown Atlanta. It was a very fulfilling and enjoyable trip for Levy and Zozo and mama :).

Here are a few pictures we took while we were having  a great time.


Outside at the Valet parking, the waterfall :)
Zoe made me proud. She swam and was not scared this time.


Of course the man of the hour; Levy had a BLAST!

We had the best room that overlooked the city of Atlanta! It was a beautiful view. Watch our latest video on YouTube to see it. 


The Lord is good!

Thanks for reading.

DEAR UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT|| SAVE SOIL MOVEMENT SUPPORT FROM A MOM

 


Respected Honorable Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack,



As a member of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification,  the United States’s commitment to address soil extinction is commendable. Over the last several decades, some progress has happened to reverse soil degradation and restore soil health, but we have a long way to go.


As we near the UNCCD’s COP 15 conference, where leaders of the world will soon meet in Cote d’Ivoire, an opportunity is presented for every nation in the world to single mindedly commit to one agenda - that of ensuring a minimum 3-6% organic content in soil. This simple yet powerful commitment will prevent desertification, reverse climate change, preserve biodiversity, forward goals of food security, improve nutrition, augment water security, and slow down migration.


I have been following and touched by the recent worldwide movement launched by Sadhguru, a yogi and global leader from India, who has undertaken a 30,000 km lone motorcycle journey to focus attention on the need to Save Soil. The ensuing people’s movement has already garnered the support of hundreds of millions around the world, including thousands of influencers. Many UN agencies and other reputed organizations have also partnered with the movement.


I commit to you that I will steadfastly stand by you in support as you enact policy to enhance the organic content of the United States’s soils to a minimum of 3-6%. This conference in Cote d’Ivoire presents an opportunity to make history by turning our world back from the brink of soil extinction.


Let us make it happen!

Kind regards,

Maryam Shumate

LE'VEON IS SIX YEARS OLD TODAY!!!

 


Good morning wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. Thank you for checking out my blog today. It is a beautiful day and I am grateful for this day. My son is six today. What?! I am so grateful for this day. My life changed for the better when Le'Veon came into my life that beautiful early morning on May the 4th 2016. I am forever changed and grateful! God is good.


Le'Veon brought joy and sweetness into my life when he made his grand entrance 6 years ago and I am forever changed and grateful for it. I remember dedicating him to God after he came out of my belly and askign God to shield him and use him for His Glory. Today, I am so grateful because I see God's hand on Le'Vy and I couldnt be more grateful. God does answer prayers. I have seen the goodness of God in my life since becoming a mom again after losing my first child. I have seen God move mountains, crush devils and open new doors for me. I am so thankful!


I have complee trust and faith in God because just looking at my son, it is a reminder of God's faithfulness! Le'Veon is handsome, very smart, loving, happy, intelligent, genius and amazing. I know he will change the world. God our creator will use him for His glory. Le'Veon is greatness personified.

Thank you for reading our blog today.

Have a blessed day.

Glory to God for today! I brag on God's goodness today!

Happy Birthday Son!

MY DAUGHTER IS FOUR YEARS OLD

 


Good morning wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely friends. hope this blog meets you well. Today is a wonderful day and I am very happy to share this blog with you all. It is always my goal to bring joy to you each time I post my blog.
So my daugher is 4!!! WOW! Life has been amazing these last four years. Of course I cannot forget the fact that I have had major life changing events within the last 2 years but common, who hasn't? The whole world has experienced some type of major shift too. 
In all the changes, one thing has remained; God has been true. It's always working in my favor one way or another. That's the meaning I choose to give everything. This meaning is powerful!

Zoe is smart, amazing, lovely, wonderful, expressive and a joy to raise and watch grow each day. You know, people often get scared when they go through a divorce, a separation, or a heartbreak and have responsibilities that they have to care for by themselves. For a lot of people, that's a very vulnerable place to be because there are evil minded people who would want to take advantage of your vulnerability to exploit you BUT you still have POWER of choice. Whatever you choose to do, you have the power to make it good or bad. 

When my kids' dad left and humiliated me and also tried to manipulate me; I saw through the whole situation. I didn't believe that I was that weak to allow trash crush me. I stood and still stand my ground in the sitaution. When Hunter neglected his responsibilities, I stepped up and allowed God be my protector and guide. Well, just like the Bible says "The Lord in the midst of thee is MIGHTY," I let God be MIGHTY in my life and truly life has been wonderful.

On this fourth birthday, I couldn't help but count my blessings. My kids are smart, happy, wonderful and amazing. Most of all, I am raising powerful God-centered beings who will ALWAYS be the head and never the tail. I encourage every mom and dad to trust God in all things. God is the provider, God is the protector and God is the preserver. Don't anchor to people but to God ALWAYS.

I live happy and joyfully each day because I do my spiritual practice and stay connected to my God. Without God, I wouldn't be here and my daughter wouldn't either. We are loved and surrounded by God's Divine presence and that's the real GIFT this fourth birthday has taught me.

I encourage you to stop chasing things and people and start chasing God. How do you chase God? In prayer and meditation and thanksgiving. Never try to force things. Know that no thing and no one can stop the blessings that God has for you. The more you allow harmony and faith in your heart, the more the blessings flow. God is FOR YOU!

Happy Birthday to my baby girl; ZOZO. Baby, I'm proud of you and love you soooo much!

THEY WANTED ME TO KEEP SUFFERING

 


Good morning wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. I hope this blog meets you well. Today is a beautiful day. thank you all for stopping by today.

I have had many painful experiences in life and I have learned a lot of lessons along the way, which have helped me overcome. When people feel sorry for you, they unconsciously keep you stuck in the hole you're trying to get out of. Those who create an impact are those who see you in the light of your healing. They see you healed and help you faciliate that process by supporting you with prayer and whatever resources they have. The greatest gift you can give yourself is the gift of belief. See your freedom and hold on to it. I have had many people who actually expected what I was going through, to be the end of me but thank God, for his Grace.

FOUR THINGS TO DO TO HELP ANYONE OR YOURSELF WHO IS SUFFERING:

1. PRAY FOR THEM

2. SEE THEM BETTER

3. SPEAK LIKE THEY ARE ALREADY HEALED

4. KEEP YOUR MIND ON THAT IMAGE 

Here's the video from yesterday:



                                                             PRAY FOR THEM

When I say pray for them, it's not for you to cry and feel sorry for them. You've probably done that but nothing has changed. When you pray, give thanks to God for already answering your prayers for them. See, before you call, God already answered. In order for you to activate it, you have to be calm and accept that your prayer is answered. In other words, focus on the healing and solution and not the pain or trouble. Give thanks for the healing.

                                                                 SEE THEM BETTER

I know when things are nit going right with someone you love, it is easy to feel bad and cry and worry. You have perhaps done so much of that up till now. it doesn't change anything. However, if you see them healed and better, you are helping them get better. You are refusing to let the situation control you or them by CHOOSING to see them free and happy.

                                             SPEAK LIKE THEY ARE ALREADY HEALED

No matter what you do, communicate with them like they are already healed. Talk to them like they are who you wish them to be; FREED

                                               KEEP YOUR MIND ON THAT IMAGE

No matter how bad your friend's or your sitaution is, keep your eyes on the image of yourself healed. Don't ever let yourself get caught up in the bad situation. Hold the image of healing and keep giving thanks for the healing.

OUR VACATION TO COLORADO

 

Good afternoon, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. Thank you for checking out my blog today. I am so happy to post a blog today. Hope you all have been doing good.

The kids and I took a vacation to the mountains of Colorado. It was a very beautiful experience for all of us. During this trip, we enjoyed a lot of firsts, especially for Le'Veon and Zoe. They got to fly for the first time and saw 8 inches of snow, horses, wild turkeys and bisons. Needless to say that I was unneccessarily troubled about how they would handle flying for the first time. 

My advise to parents who are thinking about flying or going on a trip. Just do it and don't worry too much. Plan ahead, make sure you have all necessary documents you need. If local flight, you need your government id and all of your boarding passes for you and the kids. 

I prepared for our trip and brought documents I didn't need but hey, it's always better to over-prepare than under-prepare :) LOL!




Zozo and I posed for a shot on the plane.
Le'Veon helped Beth clean out the coral and feed the horses in the snow. He had a blast. Watch the video here:


Le'Veon was fascinated with the snow and couldn't stop playing with it. It was such a beautiful sight to see.

We went to Bishop's castle to see the wonders of the Bishop's family. Recommend for adults but not really kid's friendly because of the large holes in certain places.

We took this picture at the chapel in Bishop's castle. Apparently, you can book this as a wedding venue.

This was taken outside Bishop's castle. We made made some amazing memories during this trip and will be going back again soon.

More blogs to come about our experience.

WHY I'M CHOOSING FAITH OVER FEAR

 


Hello everyone, thank you for checking out my blog today. I am grateful for you. Life is great and God has been so faithful. So, I have been going live daily on a weekly basis on my youtube channel youtube.com/maryamsjoyfullife, for about four weeks now and it has been amazing. 

I have found a new meaning to life since I started praying with my friends and it is truly amazing. I get a lot of enjoyment from offering services to others. I get very excited whenever I see the changes that occur in the lives of my friends, because of my commitment and I am inspired to keep going. The testimonies are a testiment of God's unfailing love towards us all.

Every single day, I am consciously choosing faith over fear. Faith makes the difference in my life and I enjoy sharing it with others. This moment is so powerful because we live in the moment in time where most people quit before they ever try. I am inspired to keep praying and stretching my faith because perhaps my dedication will inspire somebody.

Here's the latest episode of our prayer:


I pray that your day is filled with so much love and abundance.

Many thanks!

I WAS AFRAID OF THE IMPRESSION



 Good morning wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. I hope this blog meets you well. Today is a great day! I am happy to share this blog with you. I am so happy that you are here.

God has been good to me and I am very grateful. Though it is obvious that God has been good, I find myself sometimes feeling like things are the way they used to be. If I wasn't aware, I would allow myself to think that the things God has already delivered me from are the way they used to be. 

God has answered your prayer when you prayed. However, you need to update your mind to catchup to the blessing because if you don't, the enemy will deceive you to look for the pain. The Bible is intentional about daily renewing your mind. Let your mind catchup to the blessing. Don't allow yourself to retract to what God has already healed you from. When you pray for a miracle, look for the miracle not the absense of it. Get yourself busy expecting a miracle and while you do, stay positive and excited. 

Here's why; God is the One performing the miracle and not you. If it were up to you, you wouldn't need God but it's not up to you. It's up to God. While you wait on God, be praising God for answering your prayer and get excited that since God NEVER fails, your miracle is SURE!

Thank you for reading to the end.

Get ready for YOUR Miracle and live ready!
