A Minute with Bre

Back When…

So there’s a song by Tasha Page-that said:

“Back when I was seventeen
Like every other girl I used to have big dreams
But then I got introduced to some other things…
And suddenly the church girl I was originally
Became different
See the wrong things can call your name
I chose to answer when the Spirit said walk away
And now I live with circumstances that I can’t erase
I just wish I could go back now to yesterday
‘Cause it was different”

This is sooooo my story, It wasn’t until I actually listened to the lyrics that I could relate to what Tasha was talking about. Im not the type that listens to music just because, but Im that one who listens to the lyrics and figure out where it applies in my life. The day that I heard this song it was on repeat along with tear drops. I was like Lord you really allowed someone other than myself to encounter something that would change their entire Life.(WOW) My question growing was always WHY, WHY ME, what was I doing so wrong that I would fall into an encounter like this. Never received an answer but I went with the saying that Many always say, and that’s “WHY NOT ME”. I lived with the Why not me for a long time, no longer seeking answers because I was stuck on the saying and felt that I was a chosen one to go through and tell other people that God was this and that. Don’t get me wrong God is a lotta things but I was unable to articulate what was really happening at the time so to release what I was feeling which didn’t work I just simply said Why not me!

I did and still wanted to blame so many for what was happening but couldn’t really. YES life happens but we can get a hold of it at some time and run for our lives. Its the part where she said “See the wrong things can call your name, I chose to answer when the spirit said Walk away” yup that happened and I should’ve walked away but because I wasn’t spiritual equipped at that time I couldn’t walk away, but I do remember a time where I wouldn’t let anything get in the way of my spirituality because of the fear that was put into me by my former Pastor, it was serious and it kept me on my knees and toes. (if that make sense) But hey here were are in the struggle has become Real. Not struggling with my faith but more so my discipline while walking by faith.

The ups, downs, highs and lows have really taught me I’m not where I really thought I was. I’ve faced many set backs, and settled for something’s that I know I should have never, I’ll take those as character building abs learning from my mistakes! ❤️ —— continue to walk with me through my blogs I promise you I’m going somewhere 😊

I really needed a minute

I have been contemplating on what to post and how to even post. I’m a very private individual but also want to start sharing at the same time. Weird right. I have encountered a lot and my journey has been good, bad and even ugly but I’m here to help another individual come out. I’m a witness of my past not being the end. I’m learning not to Hold my past against myself because my Past was something God had to use to come get me…. feel free to ask me questions, comment, reach out, I’m open for all discussions. It is time….

Healthy Weeknight Meals

Cooking can sometimes feel like a chore at the end of a busy day. It’s often tempting to throw a ready meal in the oven or call for take out. But preparing a simple and healthy family meal doesn’t have to be hard or time-consuming. Here are some quick wholesome dishes that you and your family will love. They can even be prepared in advance.

Better than Poutine

I know, what could be better that a steaming plate of fries, gravy and cheese curd? Fries, gravy, cheese curd and bacon, that’s what! Throw in some fresh shallots, chilli, and a splash of roasted bone marrow and duck gravy, and we turn this popular French-Canadian dish into a something sublime.

Breakfast at my House

During the week we’re often walking out the door with a coffee in one hand and slice of toast in the other, but on weekends breakfast is never rushed. It’s a late affair, sometimes spilling over to lunch, with lots of reading and chatter in between courses of fruits, poached eggs, honey and toast. One of our favorite things we like to serve when friends are visiting are buckwheat blueberry pancakes.

Roasted Pumpkin Soup

There’s nothing better than a warm bowl of pumpkin soup on a cold autumn day. Combine your roasted pumpkin with some onion, garlic, vegetable broth, and a few spices, and give it some time to simmer away. Pair it with a few slices of fresh bread to turn it into something sublime.
