Just Talking To Myself!

Just talking to myself:
 
    Never mind me Im just talking to myself. Just passing thoughts. So if you dont mind me talking………. youre invited to read my thoughts.
 
I hate waking up in the mornings and my thoughts rush me. Thoughts of what I need to do  that today, what I can’t do, thoughts of things that I can’t help or do anything about rush me. My thoughts are like kids that run to tell me stuff before I can even think. I get up sit on the toilet and there they are. So now, I say let me tell yall something, let me give my God some Praise and Thanks this morning first before yall come getting on my nerves! And they (my thoughts) obey!
Mark 4 (New International Version)38Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”

 39He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.

So you see, I had to rebuke that spirit right off rip. Let me say Hey to my creator first. lollllll

Sometimes my mind wonder to seeing Jesus face, kissing him, Sometimes I sit and imagine him looking me right in the eye and for some reason Im not looking away. He knows that I was a sinner, but he also knew my heart and how I really felt about people. Just think no more crying, no more wondering, no more bills, no more jealousy, no more competition, no more envy, no more fighting, no killing, no more lies, and no more debt. All of that has passed away. Revelation 21 (New International Version)4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” 

Im on vacation right now. and Im so happy. I had to take some time off. I work for Walmart, Im a cashier, and people were really getting on my nerves. So I took 10 days off, yep sure did! I have 4 left! My last days I went off on 2 of my supervisors. And the asst. manager was standing there. All I kept hearing God say, Lacrease just be quiet, you are in your last day for 10 days…….dont lose your job. My other manager came over who I love so much, and she said Lacrease whats wrong? What’s wrong? You know how people keep asking what’s wrong and you start to cry? Well, I almost did. I am so happy that I am not there right now. But you know what? That was so out of character for me to go off like that. I am a person who can enter a room and my presence would fill the atmosphere with happiness and peace. When you walk into my house you have to give me a hug and kiss. My nieces and nephews already know what to do when they come over……check them kisses in! Im the same way at work. I love hugs! But Im glad that God got me out of there when he did, cause I dont know what I would have said to the people I see daily and truly love.

And you know whats funny? Yesterday I went up to my job to buy some things. And keep in mind since I left work I went to Church 3 nights in a row, because I can’t go back to work that way I was. I just cant! I cant! I cant! I cant! I Cant! So I went to my Church for revival, and it was the bomb. Do you hear me? The first night Pastor Jamal-Harrison Bryant was there with singer Lexi. The second night was Pastor Sheryl Brady with Darius Twyman, and on the 3rd day I went there was Bishop Paul Morton. Ahhhhh I left a changed woman. Lord, I had a breakthrough!

Anyway, I went in and my coworkers hugged me and ask me when was I coming back. so as I was leaving one of my other co workers who is about 47 asked me did I hear about another worker being fired. And you know what amazed me? How so turned off I was. See had I been there, I would have known and she’d be in my face asking me what happened. Im cool with the gurl who got fired, but when you are in a break through, you dont want to hear all that mess. Ok she got fired OH WELL……..AND! And Im mad at myself for entertaining that mess! So thats why its about to be a new day at work when I got back. Im 38 years old, I may look 28 but time is expiring from me, and I dont want to hear about Cat, and Kim and Lisa and them. Im about to be on some other stuff……….for real.

Proverbs 20:18-20 (New International Version)

19 A gossip betrays a confidence;
       so avoid a man who talks too much.

 I understand that when I get back, Im going to have to reset the atmosphere. Im use to spreading the good news at work, and fell off because of stress of the customers, management, and from me doing and saying what I want to say. I love the Lord too, just think he snatched me right up outta there for 10 days so at the right time!I have got to work on my mind and soul. And I can never thank him enough. I have another vacation week coming up July 13-2o 2006. im going to see my gurl Joyce Meyer here in Detroit. I am doing a solo! That day is for me and Jesus! I have reserved a room for 3 nights and 4 days at the Hotel directly across the street from where she will be speaking. I rented a new car, something new, something different. Im going shopping to buy me some new clothes, and under garments, and Im going to buy me some candles, take  me some gospel music, pen, paper. Im going to buy some fruit, something nice to sleep in. Its a date with my Lord July 13-16!

 I sit up and think about how I use to be, Lord knows it aint a pretty site. My sister and mom was telling me today that I use to be so mean. They said that when I was about 13 up in there, I was sooooooo mean. And I remember that too. She said she loved me so much but I was so mean that it didn’t make no sense. It almost made me cry because I am so not her any more. I love people so much. If I hurt anyone feelings and you tell me, I will cry before you can even tell me how much you cried. Im sensitive like that. But I remember getting in people business, and being so messy. I remember when I was even messing around with married men. Im sharing this, because I know that there are people out there reading this that are living like this. I have a whole book on this to share with yall all later. Sisters be ready, cause Lacrease is going to expose and break this sin wide open! Be Prepared at a later date. Right now in my life, Im single. I am truly waiting on the Lord. As I get older I understand that it may not be in his will for me to have a husband, I accept that. Do I want a husband…………..more that you know.

 1 Corinthians 7 (New International Version)34and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband.

So guess I fall under the duties of an unmarried woman. Sometimes when I think about not having sex, trying not to curse ( Lord I need deliverance from this) Whewwwwww. Anyway lolll and wonder how am I getting through these times. And you know its Jesus! It aint me. It aint Lacrease, cause if it was me, I would be doing my same ole things. Drinking, going out, spending my rent money on tipping dancers, turning in  pop bottles for admission, stealing from my job, lusting after men, everyyyyyyything okay?? But baby. Jesus gives us second chances. I got a fresh sheet of paper with NOTHING on it! I  put away childish things 

 1 Corinthians 13:11 (New International Version)11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. I ask him to forgive me and I believe it! I can dance, I can sing praises. Im happy. I can smile again. I can cry tears of Joy, because my sins are forgiven, they are not remember.

That excites me! Our Lord is that awesome. There is no need for me to think about my past, only to share my testimony, not to harbor on it, or to brag on it. If I can help someone to repent and to give up their sinful ways. I will tell it all!

1 John 1 (New International Version)7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[b] sin. 

 Good night Sisters and Brothers, God Loves you All.

  4. >>>There is no need for me to think about my past, only to share my testimony, not to harbor on it, or to brag on it.<<<

    Girl say that! Some people are living on “Pause” or “Rewind” People always want to brag on the “bad” It could be drinking, clubbing, playing this “baller” & that Man or whatever… Bragging on what you used to do doesn’t make you a better person… what you’re doing now is what makes you a better person. So if in the event someone needs to bring that stuff up… Like you mentioned… “Let it be a testimony.” A lesson for others because, it may help.

    A testimony has to be like an expository essay. It has to have an Introduction that will grab & hold someone’s attention. Then there’s the Body, that’s when you take them there with the facts…what you been through, how you made it through and then follow up with The Conclusion, suggest a course of action and tell them where you are now. Not all of that other talk, just to talk me to death, you know.

    I’ve had an experience with family telling (others) about my past. I was not upset they told her (my brothers girlfriend) about my past, I was more so upset that SHE decided to bring it up (outside of the family home) telling others at an Adult Birthday Party & she wasn’t even around back then. Everyone at the party did not know me back then & they don’t know me now. So, that’s why I was so upset. (But, I tried to smile as if it didn’t bother me.) I said; “Well, You should drop down, bustin’ your knees wide open giving the Lord Thanks for delivering me from all of that Because, back in the day, you may not have been able to finish this conversation in front of strangers.” And… I really meant that… I was pissed. It wasn’t as difficult to hold my composure, as it would have been in the past… But, I’m proud to say I did it and did not make a fool out of myself telling her off or taking it even farther than she could handle. I didn’t owe any of them an explanation of what I did or why I was so mean when I was younger or even in my (early 20’s). They didn’t ask and I didn’t go on and tell them. It’s all in the past. At that time, that’s the only way I knew to handle problems saying or doing mean things.

    I never said anything to her about it after that and probably will one day soon… Because, it never fails… She’ll bring it up, saying her daughter (my niece almost 2yrs old) is “mean– just like me” or something like that. I just don’t feel like wasting my breath on someone so clueless, that may not be sticking around very long anyway.

    Instead of cussin’ her out… Not cursing.. Cussin’ her out… But, just to end the conversation… I had to take it there… Ugggh I can’t stand that. But, I feel good to know I didn’t do more than that…
