Hey whats up?

 

 You know Im sitting here thinking about people and how we are sometimes. Last night at work. This lady came through my line ( blk) it was so crowded OMG I thought 10:30 wasnt never going to come. Well, she was putting her things up on the belt, when she all of a sudden ask me \” Do yall take American Express Travelers Checks\” I was like huh cause I didnt hear her. She got real loud and real real real real mean and said YEAHA YALL DO, NEVER MIND I DONT FEEL LIKE REPEATING MYSELF, YALL TAKE EM YALL TAKE EM NEVER MIND KEEP RINGING!!!!!. So I looked ……………I was outdone  how she was talking and acting towards ME. So as Im ringing her up, Im saying to myself. Do I know this heffa? I mean did I make her mad one day and she remembered and I don\’t. Cause there was no reason at all for her to go off on me like that, unless she knew me. So once I went back and forth in my mind figuring out what the heck she said. I said oh yeah we take those. She was like EXCUSE ME HUHHHH? I looked at her ghetto azz and was like ( TO MY SELF) ……… Lacrease dont say nothing to this ignant azz ghetto chicken ninny. So once I got myself together cause customers was looking at me like danggggggggggg she went off on that cashier. I had to regroup. Then she asked me for my pen so that she can fill out the check. That heffa lucky it was sitting on the register, cause I was going to say………….I DONT HAVE ONE !

 

So Im ringing her up, she trying to talk all nice. Im looking like dont say nothing to me at all. Then she turns around and begin talking to these 2 ladies who was her daughters who are grown  in line watiing to get rung up. Then guess who appears before I was even finish with the lady? My relieve person!  It was time for my lunch. Thank God! I was so happy to see her it didnt make no sense. I did not want to ring up her ghetto looking daughters!

 

My point is this? Its funny how she treated me and if she was to go right outside, get in her car start in up and it catch fire. If I was outside on my break and saw it all. I would be crying more than her kids. I would be on my cell phone calling the EMS, FIRE DEPARTMENT,  POLICE, MANGERS and everybody else. I am very sensitive  when it comes to people being hurt and abused. Anything that hurts people. She talked to me any kind of way because she knew I was on the clock and was at risk of losing my job. See how people do you?

 

I would forget allllllllllll that mess she was talking in the store, and be focused on her life. Helping her Sometimes I wish that I didnt feel that way. Sometimes I wish that I could jsut be mean and be like yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhha WITCH thats what you get! Naw run tell dat! But its no way I can be like that in my heart. No part of me would feel that way. No No No! Im about  leading people to Christ. She could never do anything to me as far as mentally to make me want to see her lay down there and die.

So think about the next time you talk to someone any kind of way. Think about that person may be the one who have to call 911 to save your life. Will they call? Or will they fake it? Which are you?

Me. Me, Me~~ Finally thinking about myself!

Hey Peeps!
 
         I know I know I know its been a while. I haven\’t been up to writing lately. Seems as if I had to do some Lacrease, me, me me, me thinking.
 
As Jill Scott say in her song: If I multiply 2 times 2 is it really, really 4 me
La [x6]
And if I add 5 to get 9 minus 8 that just leaves me
Me [x8]
So many times I define my pride
Through somebody else\’s eyes (La da da, la da)
Then I looked inside and found my own stride,
I found the lasting love for me
If I\’m searching for my spirituality
Passionately I must begin with me

There\’s just me…
One is the magic number [x2]

 
See, so I had to do some math and I am here with a verdict. I realize that I need to have activities lined up in my life in order to make it through the things that I have to do……………….anyway. You feel me? Im saying. I hate to go to work, but I have to do it. So what I do now instead of getting up daily going through the motions of life as if I am only here to do that. I plan things that I love to do with myself and others.
 
For example: I got up and went to see every last movie out that I wanted to see. Queen Latifah, Final Destination (very good) Big Momma\’s House, and Something New. Sure did. I didn\’t plan any of it. I just decided that this year I am doing things. I have a car, a nice home, and a decent job. Why live my life working and paying bills? Why get up and go through the same motions of life with no future plans?
 
But see, now Im starting to look into the future of my life. So I went on line and booked me 3 nights and 4 days into a very very nice hotel that is 45 minutes away from my house. Joyce Meyers is coming and I will be there to see her July 13-15. Anddddd I rented myself a car for Thursday-Monday. Then I went to work and put in my 2 weeks vacation for July 13-26! Yep! Im going to do a solo that weekend and Im going to enjoy myself. Im excited for the simple fact that I have plans. See I like to travel. I cant do all that sitting up in somebody\’s house playing cards and all that stuff. I use to do that 6 times a week when I was in my early 20\’s. We\’d drink, play loud loud music, talk smack over the card table, and really have fun. 
 
But now……………Its too hot to be in the house, Im ready to be out and about.
 
My gurl Charlene called me and asked me to go to Sue St. Marie? ( whateva that chicks name) for Mother\’s Day weekend. Im like yesssss, let me add this to my to do list this year. My mother wants to go and its really cheap too. Im excited about it, and Im so there. Next Feb me and my family are going back to Disney World. We go every 2 years, and I cant wait to go this time. It was so hot the last times, we stayed in the house we rented for a week. But we had soooooooo much fun OMG!
 
I just wanted to get back into the writing game with this blog, this week we are going to really get into some topics of life. So watch out!

Every 2 weeks I like to write down the things I have to take care of, and all the bills I have to pay. And as I do them, I cross them out feeling another thing has been accomplished on my list. ( What a good feeling).
 
Before the new year started I promised myself that I would tithe like I am supposed to with every check. I felt tired of robbing God out of tithes and offerings.
 
 8 “Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me.
      “But you ask, ‘How do we rob you?’
      “In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse—the whole nation of you—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.
 Malachi 3 (New International Version)
 
I hear people saying all the time “after I paid my tithes this or that” and I’d say to myself man that’s what I need to be doing. I’m tired of giving God “what’s left” after paying my bills.
 
Well, the first of the month rolled around, and guess what? Something came up. I had to pay a speeding ticket I had gotten back in Oct. The Sec of State sent me a letter saying that my license was suspended as of Jan 5, 2006. I was shocked, but in order for my licenses to be reinstated I had to pay $242.40. When I received that mail it was Jan 7, 2006. I was driving around with suspended licenses.
 
That following day by it being on my mind so tough. I had to go and pay it. I got up, called my job and told them that I was going to be late because I had business to take care of. I went paid my  ticket and extra fees and my licenses was reinstated.
 
Later on I started thinking about how I didn’t have any money left to tithe. For some reason I didn’t feel bad because “something had came up………God will understand.” So I dismissed it, and promised to start off fresh the following month in Feb 2006.
 
Well, Feb (2006) rolled around I had gotten my check and was checking off all the things that I had to do. For tithing I had down $150.00 to make up for January and part of Feb. After I finished checking off things, and looking at my money. I crossed out the 1 and decided that I was going to give God $50.00. Yep, sure did. I had done everything on the list and that was my final decision. God gets $50.00.
 
The very next day as my check sheet was sitting in front of me, I had on my coat about to go to work. My close friend Shaun called me from Chicago. She is like one of my best friends. She lived here in Detroit 4 years ago, for 14 years. She called me and  her voice sound different. First thing out of her mouth was Lacrease what are you doing? And I said about to go to work I have my coat on and everything. She said I am too, she said God told me to call you, she said I didn’t want to do it, because I don’t understand, but he keep getting on me about it.
 
I said okay Shaun what is it……………………. tell me. She said God said that money you are supposed to give to him, she said do it. I said HUH? I knew instantly what she was talking about.But I wanted her to keep going, cause I couldnt believe what I was hearing. She said God said  try him. She said it don’t make sense to me, because this message is for you, She said Im just telling you what he told me to tell you. He said tell her to give it to me. I stood there frozen on the phone, cause I knew what she was talking about. I neverrrrrrrr told her about my list, or even that there was a list. That’s something I do every week. We neverrrrr talked about my tithes, offerings or anything. That’s how I knew it was God telling her that.
 
He knew that I had scratched him down to $50.00 instead of $150.00. SHE NEVERRRRRRR KNEW. She said I don’t even want to know what he is talking about, she said and I have to go to work, and I will talk to you later. I hung up the phone and wanted to shake out of my coat. But I had to laugh cause God knows how to reach me and through the right people.
 
God didn’t have to tell me anything else. I grabbed $150.00 and I paid my tithes. I sent them to my Church that SAME DAY.
 
Not only did I pay my tithes but I sent an offering with it.   That couldn’t wait until Sunday. Cause my thing is you have to know it was God, she didn’t know anything about that. I dont even want to know my penalty of ignoring that. I was obedient quick fast and in a serious hurry.
 
Next week its pay day again. I know the enemy is going to come at me with something else to try to keep me from doing what’s right. Im praying (pray with me) that I continue to do what is right. I will keep you all updated.
 
Your Sister in Christ
