Tuesday Tidbits Is A Year Old

A year ago, I started the weekly email to the moms of the Brown Kids Playgroup, a playgroup some friends and I organized for our kids. Well the weekly email became therapeutic for me because at the time I was dealing with a rebellious child and I was really stressed and depressed. Anyway I ended up having a conversation with a mom who was dealing with the exact same thing, and then another that's when it dawned on me that I was not alone in these struggles. I was not the only one going through. I just happened to be one who was willing to openly talk about my struggles. My willingness to share, gave way to many victories. Like I said sending the emails proved to be therapeutic for me but it also provided encouragement to other moms and opened up the lines of communication for other moms of brown kids to share. But get this, the freedom that has come in sharing through the tidbits is not only meant to encourage mothers of brown kids but also meant to encourage brown wives, brown daughters, and brown friends alike. It's not always easy nor has it been easy for me to write or share but I feel I must. I've watched God pull me out of some of my most craziest comfort zones, writing being one because as you all know I'm no writer but I truly believe God placed this on my heart to do and I also believe that the words in Ecclesiastes 9:11 are very true.

Be blessed and encouraged today, it's your choice. ~ Delphine


The race is not to the swift,
Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor bread to the wise,
Nor riches to men of understanding,
Nor favor to men of skill;
But time and chance happen to them all.
