Concerts and Conversations with God

Hey,
 
       Im sitting here listening to Tony Terry~ When Im with you. Does anyone remember that song? It sounds so good, haven’t heard it in a long time. I went to see him, Vesta and Gerald Levert at The Warehouse a long time ago, me and Charlene. I was hanging back then. Man, how times fly. Im sitting here thinking about the concerts Ive been too. And Lord I have surely spent some money. Let me see if I can name them all. I am a person who loves entertainment. I love music. I love people. That’s why I want to work with homeless people. The more I say that the more I believe and know that I am going to get my wish one day soon. Its in my heart so deep. To talk to teens how have no direction. I want to quit my job, live in my new big ole house, be rich, go on shopping sprees for house and clothes, and a truck then start my mission.
 
Let me name the many concerts and people that shared a bill.
 
Prince, Rick James, Vaughn Mason and Crew my very first concert.
Then I went to see Prince again with Rick James. Janet Jackson at Joe Louis Arena. Anita Baker and Luther Vandross at Joe Louis Arena, Anita Baker with Lashell Griffin at DTE. Mary J. Blige with Usher and Next at the Fox 5th row from the stage, then Mary J. Blige with Avant and some other new artist we sat 3rd row from the stage at The Fox. Gerald Levert at the Ware house (old club) with Vesta Williams, and Tony Terry. Barry White at the Fox, then I went another time at the Fox to see Barry White again with Chante Moore. Then I went to see Black Street at The Fox. Tyler Perry Madea Goes to Jail 2 times at the Fox, and then once for the taping of Madea’s Class Reunion at The Fox. Gerald Levert at a private party in Detroit at The Athenium Hotel (92.3) I took pictures with him. Gerald Levert with Brian McKnight and New Edition at The Fox 2005. Rick James before he died at The Fox.  Then I went to the best concert ever in my life ~Diddy, Lil Kim, Ma$e, The Lox, 112, and Sisqo, they all threw down, that was at The Joe Louis Arena. I went to see Shirley Caesar, Marvin Sapp, my number one gospel singer Karen Clark Sheard several times (even at her own church here in Detroit this year), Ki Ki Sheard, Mary Mary, Fred Hammond, Dave Hollister, Paul Morton (Bishop) several times this year. I went to a private party, met and took pictures with Kem this year. Salt and Pepa, Heavy D, that was called The Throw at Cobo. I will never forget that day. So many people were on that ticket, I cant even remember. All I know is I went to see Heavy D and Salt and Pepa.
August 14 of this year I went to see Destiny Child with Mario,
Teairra Marie,  and Tyra. The music system at The Palace was off the hook! I went to see Eminem, 50 , Missy Elliott, D-12, Obie Trice and Monica at Ford Field. Another time I saw Freddie Jackson, Aretha Franklin. Then, Genuine, Joe, Jagged Edge and supposed to be Jaheim on the same ticket but he didn’t show up, and The Fox.  Phil Perry at the Ware house club.
 
I cant think of any more at this time, but I know there’s more.
 
Concerts I am looking forward too attending SOON ASAP. Anita Baker, Jill Scott, Gerald Levert, Kem, Mary J. Blige, Yolanda Adams, Ce Ce Winans, Janet Jackson, Marvin Sapp, Karen Clark-Sheard, and Tyler Perry always when he comes to Detroit.
 
Let me take the time to say God I Love you. I was just washing my hair thinking about you. How you let us chose and decide what rode we are going to take in life. But you know its one area you seem like you just aint gonna let me do. And that’s with the men. You always seem to let me know what kind of boot leg men I am dealing with. You always let me know ahead of time. Like Im destine to be with someone you chose. Hey that’s perfect for me. Whateva you decided Lord ……Im so there. lol
 
Just sitting at dinner talking to Gloria this evening about the married men I use to be with, and how I would allow them to use my body and then go home to their families. How I thought that was cool, how I thought that since I wasn’t looking for anything serious, it was okay with me. How stupid I was. Man, if I wasn’t so secretive back then, maybe someone with some wisdom would have told me better. But you know Im glad that I went through that. Cause a lot of times men in Walmart would stare at me like I am a piece of pie and they would be with their wives and gurlfriends. Back in the day I would think that was so cute, but now its a turn off. And the facial expression I give them, they know Lacrease aint even having it.
 
So Lord, I want to Thank You for saving me from the danger of bad and no good relationships. People feel so depressed when they go through bad things, but for me, I embrace them. Aint gon lie I shooooooo be glad when they are over, even my trials, sometimes the feel as if they are never going to end. But you know everything come to pass. And if we dont know nothing else let us remember that.
 
Growing up I prayed for Wisdom. Reading it in the bible was something I did. But as I got older I realize that I need it to live out here. I need it for situations to make choices. I cant not get mad or be mad at God for the things that Ive went through growing up or even as being a woman. I will embrace it instead. I am happy. I can relate. I can pass down what I learned from my situation. What good is going through something if you aint willing to share it?
 
In this life I always feel that I could do more to help the next person. I want God to say to me, well done my child. Not why you didn’t help Tammy when she was Hungary at the job, when you were mad at her for acting funny? Noooo, I don’t want that. I can think of a lot of times when I was acting foul and living foul. Whew Lord, forgive me for all those times. If you need me to name them …….I will. I am not stubborn, I am not too proud. You are my Father and I will name everything I can remember to ask for forgiveness. Im so happy that I have that relationship with you. I had to open my mouth to build it. You were always there for me. And still is. You tell me soooooooooooooo much. People still to this day wonder how do I know things. And they don’t understand, its you, not me. I am soooooooo nothing without you. Man how plain is that to see? And you know what I love most about you God? Is that whenever I do something wrong you check me on the spot. You let me know up front that I am wrong. And sometimes I laugh cause mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn you be UP ON ME! I can’t do nothing wrong. ROFL You got me so out there like that. You will check me in a heartbeat. I can hear your voice saying Lacrease dont do that. that aint right, don’t do my people like that. Its amazing how you be on me. And I love it!
 
Cause see when I was a young gurl, I use to say to my parents, I can’t wait till I get grown and move out. I felt that I would be grown, and that I could do anything I wanted. Then when I got grown, I started making wrong decisions, and bad choices. Then one day I will never forget what you said……… Lacrease, you are grown, but you still have to answer to me. And that blew me away. I can still hear your voice. I knew you were real. Cause cant no voice just pop up in my head and say nothing like that to me. I knew it wasn’t me saying that, cause remember I SAID I WAS GROWN. lol Whew God I can go on and on with the conversation we’ve had.
 
Im going to close for now, but I will be back tomorrow. I am off to work @ 4-10:30 tomorrow that’s cool. Then 11-8 on Tuesday, and 8:30-5:30 on Wednesday and off on Thursday.

God Bless You All
