What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you're all having a great day today and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life Blog. Today is a beautiful day. Thank you all for stopping by today.
This joy is from God. We are grateful for our many blessings. We've seen hell but hell didn't consume us. God is and always will be our shelter and preserver.
There are many things I am thankful for today. One of the major things I am thankful for is that I and my children are no longer in bondage at Big Daddy's house. Big Daddy is Hunter's adopted father. His real name is Donnie but I am so used to calling him by his nickname that I learned from Hunter.
One particular reason I am very happy is that my children no longer have to go to bed under a loud, negative and profane environment. While we were living there, Adam; Hunter's brother slept during the day and stayed up all night playing video games. His bedroom and gaming station was setup by the wall where Le'Veon and Zoe lay their heads every night. He would often cuss out loud and bang the table when something happened in the game that upset him. I had no problem with his gaming but I had a lot of issues with his profanity and banging when the kids are trying to sleep. I asked Hunter many times to ask him to be quieter. Hunter's response was Adam wouldn't listen because he doesn't listen to anyone. Hunter would say he was a dumbass and didn't listen to anyone. See, that was true. Adam didn't listen to his dad either. I got tired of asking Hunter to speak to Adam about his noise and profanity. I did it myself. I started asking him politely to lower his voice and reduce the profanity because I didn't want my kids picking it up.
He would slam his door at me and go on cussing and banging in his room. That didn't stop me from asking him the next time to keep it quieter. Well, one night in particular, this was two weeks before I let the world in on what I was going through. I walked up to Adam's door and asked him to please lower his voice because the kids were sleeping. He just blew up on me. He got up to attack me but his girlfriend held him back. I didn't move from where I was standing. I was ready for him to punch me like he said he would. He asked me to get out of his father's house and I said I promised him that I would. I also reminded him that Hunter was paying his dad rent for us to be there. See, Adam doesn't know how to hide his emotions or pretend. Hunter is a master pretender. Adam had been there when Hunter and his dad had said all kinds of derogatory and disrespectful things behind my back. They could pretend to my face but I felt the energy and I knew what was up. Anyways, Adam came out of his room and punched a hole in the wall not 5 inches away from me.
Hunter heard the loud noise and came to see what was up. The reason I am sharing is because I am so happy where I am at now. My children are happier and the only noise heard around here is their noise. I haven't had to ask anyone to watch their words or noise around my kids. I am at peace. Sometimes when Hunter visits, that's when negativity shows up but other than that, we are in a more positive and peaceful environment and for that I am very grateful.
You may be going through a similar situation right now, I pray for you today. May the God of Heaven send you helpers to fight for you and pull you out of the pit like he did for me in Jesus Name. Amen!!
