Diary Of A Moody Chic
1st things first, I am blessed and YES I know it! I am thankful and grateful to God for everything He has done, is doing, and WILL DO in my life. However, I am a moody chic. *sigh* Always have been. God bless those in my life who have never witnessed it. God bless you all :-). Today, which happens to be Mother’s Day; I had a terrible case of moodiness. Sure, it could have been caused by today’s special day and the fact that I don’t have a mother anymore…but I also think that it was just one of those days. I was not feeling it today. My cousin whom I love dearly is temporarily living with me and I barely spoke a word to her all day and practically ignored her when she tried to speak to me. ATTITUDE. But why? What has my panties in a bunch, why so rude? I went to dinner with my homeboy and was even in a rude spewing frenzy while eating the most delicious meal I’ve had all week, what the heck? It wasn’t until he said to me “Kennese, aren’t you grateful for your life?” that I realized I’d been feeling “off” from the moment I woke up this morning.
My sporadic mood swings is something I’ve been praying about and I can’t wait for the Lord to deliver me. In the meantime, I thought I’d share this as a mini diary and maybe some of you can relate.
Blessings to you all

Morning Thoughts
Exciting things have been taking place in my life over the past few weeks, and although I am immeasurably grateful and thankful; i’ve realized my excitement level isn’t as high as I would expect. Don’t get me wrong I am happy and eternally grateful and do not take anything for granted as I know from where my help comes, but why am I not bouncing around in total joy? Well, this morning it hit me… my mother isn’t here to experience these things with me. I understand she’s with me in spirit and I speak to her often, however it’s a bit different without her physical presence. It’s difficult, I suppose, to truly celebrate and relish in your achievements when the one person who meant the most to you isn’t there to root you on and cheer in your corner. The new developments in my life aren’t even the huge gigantic things like marriage or kids, so I can only imagine when those things happen how hard it will be. I just pray to God every day and ask for his help in allowing me to cope, because the feeling of loss never goes away.
This scripture is right on time & SO true!
1 Peter 5:10
And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
Dear Bobbi Kristina…
I woke up at 6 o’clock this morning thinking about you. I don’t know you and didn’t know your mother, but what I do know is the pain of losing one. I lost my mother unexpectedly just a few short months ago and it’s been difficult for me to cope even at the age of 30. It is a pain that shows no discrimination on age; and at the precious age of 18, Bobbi I pray that understanding finds you. I pray for your peace and I’m praying for your comfort. I pray that you receive a word from God and with that he sends a word from your mother. I pray that either in a dream or the natural, that you have a communication with your mom which soothes you. I want you to know that there is a nation of people praying for you, your grandmother Cissy, and for all of your family and loved ones. May a peace come over you all.
Prayerfully
Bittersweet memories.
That is all I’m taking with me.
So, goodbye. Please, don’t cry.

No matter how many mistakes we make or how slow we progress, we are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.
I debated on whether or not I would post this because it’s already on every other blog, but the message is so inspiring that I felt I had to. Besides, I know I have readers who don’t frequent the “other” blogs. So this is for you guys! :-)

Music Obsessions: Tori Kelly - “Dear No One”
It’s been a while since I’ve done a music obsessions post, but this is the perfect opportunity. I randomly came across this young lady while on youtube, and this was the first thing I heard. It struck a chord with me as it perfectly describes my thoughts about that special someone (I actually wrote a poem similar to it: click here).
So anyway, Tori Kelly has an amazing voice and she’s somewhat of a youtube sensation (they’re popping up everywhere these days). I plan to listen to more of her music, but as for now I am definitely a fan!
My Beautiful Secret
Call me strange, but I feel like you’re here with me already
I don’t know your name, your age, your height, your weight
But I know you love me dearly and I love you
I know you’d climb the highest of mountains and you’ll swim the
deepest of blue seas
You adore me, admire and support me
and your ability to possess agape love comes only from the most high
I don’t have to stress or worry over the day we’ll meet
It’s a sick and odd self-assuredness to some
Clearly they aren’t familiar with the energy engraved in my spirit…
the connection to grace… or they’d understand where my confidence resides
Our lives make beautiful music independently…
Together, we create sonically historic melodies others will one day read about
You’re my beautiful secret that makes me giddy to even think about
K. Byrd
