Relationships!





I have close relationships with very select people in my life. Relationships mean a lot to me and I value them and learn from them. My Lord and Savior, my husband, my dad, and my mom are the people I have a very close relationship with. Each relationship is different of course but they all hold a special place in my heart.

My most important relationship is my spiritual relationship with My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This relationship helps me have a positive and effective relationship with the people in my life. Through Christ I can do all things and that has been proven time and time again. I love my Lord and he has been there for me all the time. When I felt I could not go on I would pray and God would give me strength I need to make it through. I would also pray just to say thank you! I love my Lord!

My husband is my all, he is my best friend and we have been together since 1995. This is a man who truly knows me and loves me. This man knows EVERYTHING about me!  I can be myself around him and he accepts me for whom I am and supports everything I want to do and become. He pushes me when I feel like giving up and he holds my hand to help me through my troubles. I love him unconditionally and I know he loves me unconditionally. He makes me laugh and we are a great team. He is my soul mate and I cannot see my life without him. We are a team! Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, communication, and trust are the key to our healthy relationship. I love this man!

My mom is my life. Even though she is not with me here on earth she will forever be with me in my heart. I had/have a wonderful relationship with my mom. She knew me inside and out. She knew the decisions I was going to make before I made them and she knew when I was keeping something from her. I could tell my mother any and everything and not worry about her judging me but giving me the best advice that she could give. My mother is my everything, and I will always have a close relationship with her.  I love my mom with all my heart!

I have a close relationship with my daddy as well, but it is different from the relationship I have with my mom. My dad is always there for me when I need him. He calls to check on me and to give me a word of advice, encouragement, or just to talk. He motivates me to pursue my dreams. He still treats me like his little girl. We go to the movies together and I enjoy the time we spend when it is just us. He gives me plenty of spiritual advice. I love my dad!

I only highlighted three people that I have a close relationship with. However, I have a close relationship with my three children, my three siblings, my grandparents, my aunt, and my best friend. Each relationship is different but I love them all. With losing my mother, I have learned to cherish, value, and respect each relationship, and to not take them for granted. Relationships are important and everyone needs to have at least one person they can have a positive relationship with. I’ve learned that relationships are give and take. The relationships I have had and still have taught me a lot. They have transformed me into the person I am and I am proud of that person.

  1. As a newlywed I love the fact that you spoke about your husband being your best friend because sometimes I feel like people don't understand that it is ok for me to love my husband as a husband and also consider him as my bff! Great post

  2. I am excited about the fact you spoke about Jesus Christ. He is my most important people in my life, next is my husband also. My parents are dead and I have one brother and one sister. My sister and I are close, but my brother and I are not. Positive relationships are important to me and I do love my brother very much. Your post was awesome.

  3. Shonda,

    I found your blog post to be quite motivating. You seem to have such strong relationships that help ground and inspire you. I believe one of the greatest gifts we can give someone is our time. The relationships we develop and share with other people are the foundation of our existence and learning to develop and cultivate long-lasting relationships is one of the most important life skills we need to develop.

  4. I believe God is my partner and friend, I can give up him sometimes in my life but he still love and stay by me. When I have any trouble happening in my life, God is the first person I talk to.
    My father, he is very traditional religious man. He likes to pray with his rosary all day long. When he was in our country, he volunteered at church and helped others. He made sure that his children knew about God’s love to us and to everybody
