Hey

Thank you Lord for waking me up again this morning. I am so grateful for all that do for me. I KNOW you Love me, because you are always showing me. I notice the things you whisper and do for me and I will always Love you. I keep you on my mind, day in and day out.

I love going to the movies, so I went this past Friday to see 2 movies in the same day with my mother and Neisha. We saw Wanted with my gurl Angelina Jolie, and then The Hulk for the second time, it was their first. I loved Wanted!!! That gurl is one bad sister. Trina need to give up her title as the Baddest Chick, she ain\’t nothing on Angie!!! LOL Anytime you can do your thang on the screen, go home and be a mom to 4, and have a boyfriend who is just as famous, YOU BAD!! LOL I can watch the Hulk over and over again, I really loved this movie. It was such a Love story.

I was talking to one of my good good friends from Chicago who use to lived here in Detroit last night from 11:08 pm until 8:15ish this morning. I was crossed eyed lol but we had the best conversation I had ever had in my life. She\’s 42, and I\’m 40. We were talking about God all night and how he connects people, and how he works in our lives. She was telling me that she has a trust issue with people, and I told her that I didn\’t have a trust issue with people. And we explained to each other why. It was really deep.

When I meet people, my attitude is, everyone has A-1 Credit with me. That means that I can get to know you right off rip, and that we can start from the bottom of a friendship and work our way to the top. She says people gets NO CREDIT off rip, and that they have to work up a friendship with her. That brings me to why we have different views on many things in our lives. But still and yet we have been friends since I met her at a job back when my daughter was in the 1st grade. For the life of her she could never understand how is it that I can start conversations with people without even knowing them. When she on the other hand can\’t get past her own *sweaty palms* of being shy or standoffish. I never look at her to be a shy person because she\’s SO FULL OF WISDOM and she has no problem in telling me or anyone else the TRUTH. * Especially me lol*. Iron sharpens Iron! And I love her for that. But what she explained to me is that she find it hard to Trust people because she feels that they always disappoint her. She is a very giving person, and she when she trust people she wants to end the friendship because they take advantage of her kindness but she finds it hard too. That is a rode that she often finds herself.

I\’m different. You automatically have credit with me until you mess up. When I see signs of unfaithfulness, ill cut the friendship. My home is my Palace. That\’s the place where God lives and when you walk into my home, you will know it. To get into my Palace is to be past 3rd base. Where my friend believes that she can only talk to you from her front porch. When you do me wrong, Im forgiving, but our friendship will probaly end. With her, if you mess up she\’s willing to chestize you deeply, plus she\’ll keep the friendship.

When we laughed and realized that we are so very different in that area. We both went back to our child hood. She is an only child, her mother is a Nurse and just retired. She had trust issues with people in her family, and so in growing up it made her standoffish to people. She had no siblings to talk to growing up, stunting her communication skills. I was raised with both of my parents in the home, I have 2 sisters and one brother, we are very close, and our communication skills toward each other *and our kids* are good.

I could have argued with her and said. Look you are older now, its okay that you were an only child, its okay now that you didn\’t have anyone to communicate with, its okay now, that you were standoffish to people. Because now you know better. And she can easily argue that its EASY for me to say its okay this and that for her situation. When in fact, its all about Understanding each other and our backgrounds. The problem I have with people is that they want to take a lot of my time , and I\’m the kind of person who likes to talk, be friendly, and MOVE IT RIGHT ALONG. I use my friendlyness to Minister to people. I really enjoy * seed planting* conversations, and not waste my time on gossip or foolishness.

Oh yes, I have had my share of being * too friendly* with people up front and end up losing friendships over it. Because once God reveal to me their intentions, I have to separate myself. Over the years I have learned that everyone is not your friend, and that\’s okay too. I\’m Spiritually connected to a few people, and I have a feeling those people will be around for a long time.

So my question to you, are you are person who gives people A-1 Credit off the bat when you first meet them, or do they have to earn credit with you as time go on?

Here is a Video that I want you all to watch. Please watch this video ALL THE WAY THROUGH. because the best is yet to come!!! This gurl is BADD!!!!!!!

God Bless You all

Today is a great day. Thank you Lord for waking me up this morning. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!

I had an appointment this morning with the cable company, one of my boxes went completely out. This young cable guy knocks on the door and I told him to come around to the side. I hadn\’t comb my hair, brushed my teeth, got the crumbs out of my eyes or anything. All I had on was my long night gown. So I rushed down the 3 stairs and opened the door for him and ran to the bathroom looking a hot MediaTakeOut mess!!! LOL He goes upstairs and do his thang, and after about 25 minutes he comes and says he\’s done. That\’s when I asked him how can I get a HDTV box that records my movies? As soon as I opened my mouth, I felt a breeze on my head. So, I\’m thinking to myself dang,………no my scarf didn\’t fall off my head, cause I felt a draft. * LOL* I reached up to feel my head and realized that my colorful scarf had dropped on his boots. He had this embarrassed look on his face, but I just kept on talking. Cracking up in my mind. He played it off too. My daughter was looking like . I finished up that conversation real quick. As he turned to walk out of the door. I said * Don\’t go and tell your friends my scarf fell off my head either!!!! We all starting cracking up!!! He couldn\’t stop laughing!!! The back of my head looked like cats been licking and playing with their yarn in it. LOL My daughter gets embarrassed easy, I DON\’T! She\’s the more conservative Virgo with the attitude like * quiet down people, lets watch the recital. *, I\’m more like * cable man sir, can you please pick up my scarf that fell off my head and landed on your boots* type of Virgo!!! LOL I\’m silly . Very silly!

Yesterday was my Mother’s Birthday. She wanted to cook herself a dinner and have all her family over, and that’s just what she did!!! We had a good time. We had a ball. This morning I was so sleepy for work, all I could do was lay in the bed and pray for strength. Well, I made it through. Thank you Jesus.

When I got home my brother was on the caller ID wanting me to come over to his high rise apartment near the Detroit River and watch the fire works. It was late when I got home, no way was I going to be able to get through all that traffic. Going to the fireworks, everybody is so cool, as soon as the final finale is over, people lose their minds trying to get out of there and into their cars. I sat myself on the couch, propped up my legs, turned off the air, and watch the fireworks in HDTV. Sure did!!! After it was over, I was glad NOT to be driving home. LOL Last year I went and had so much fun OMGoodness. But I’m good. I’m off tomorrow, so I can finally sleep in and rest.

Yesterday we were all fixing plates from the backyard to the house. My nephew Gary * 14* came in the house to fix himself a plate. Well his 3 friends were outside * they all live on the block* and 2 of them wanted something to eat. So, we were like yeah ,yeah fix them something to eat if they want something. Later on that night, I saw 3 boys standing on the corner. So, I’m saying to myself who is that standing on the corner? I asked my niece and she said it was Gary * her brother* and his 3 friends. One of them wanted to ig the boys across the way, because of some words being exchanged earlier. So, me being Lacrease * don’t like mess* walked to see what they had to say about standing on the DOGONE CORNER .

Gary saw me and gave me a hug and kiss, he knew what time it was. I asked him to introduce me to his friends. They all *seemed* respectable. So after the intro. I said let me ask y’all something, why are y’all standing out here egging that boy on? I said don’t you all have something to do. They all said yeah we play basketball. One of the guys has a cast on his arm. I asked him what happened, he told me he had just got shot. Anyway I started preaching on that. How people get into stuff, and the next thing you know their family members will get hurt or killed OVA NOTHING!!! I had to use their language. They were listening too. I said don’t you all know that if something happen to any one of you, your family suffers? After I went on and on and on, I made them all repeat 2 times. LIFE, NOT DEATH. LIFE NOT DEATH!!!

That was the end of that. I went on home and they left that corner. This evening after work I was about to go in the house when my nephew Gary was coming out. Me and my sisters allllllll live around the corner from each other. So my nephews are always playing ball with the boys down the street. I said to Gary, did you understand what auntie was getting at boo. I said I don’t mean to preach to your friends, but YOU KNOW ME, LOLLLLLLLLLLL WE WERE CRACKING UP!! I said Gary please let me give you this last example okay?LOL

I said, remember that time you saw me pulling out of the driveway, and you asked me did I have some money, and I gave you some, and since YOUR friends were with YOU. I said Gary what about your friends, do THEY need some too? He said yeah I remember. I said boo that’s how it is on the streets. One of those guys * YOUR BOY* that I was talking to last night who got shot in the stomach recently? Well those people meant to kill him. And if you are hanging with him, and those guys sees him, guess whose going down with him? I said ain’t no telling what they might do. I said, JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE WITH THEM, YOU CAN BE IN DANGER TOO!!!! His eyes got so big. He said Auntie I got that. All he could do is smile and stare at me. AT that point I truly believe he got it. Now what he does with that information I’m not sure what’s next for him but I had to wire him up. He really feels that since its not his battle he’s safe. Who you are connected too, is LIFE OR DEATH!!!

Which brings me to THE WORD!!!

1 Kings 14

Ahijah’s Prophecy Against Jeroboam

1 At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill, 2 and Jeroboam said to his wife, “Go, disguise yourself, so you won’t be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam. Then go to Shiloh. Ahijah the prophet is there���the one who told me I would be king over this people. 3 Take ten loaves of bread with you, some cakes and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to the boy.” 4 So Jeroboam’s wife did what he said and went to Ahijah’s house in Shiloh.

Now Ahijah could not see; his sight was gone because of his age. 5 But the LORD had told Ahijah, “Jeroboam’s wife is coming to ask you about her son, for he is ill, and you are to give her such and such an answer. When she arrives, she will pretend to be someone else.”

6 So when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps at the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why this pretense? I have been sent to you with bad news. 7 Go, tell Jeroboam that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I raised you up from among the people and appointed you ruler over my people Israel. 8 I tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you, but you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commands and followed me with all his heart, doing only what was right in my eyes. 9 You have done more evil than all who lived before you. You have made for yourself other gods, idols made of metal; you have aroused my anger and thrust me behind your back.

10 ” ‘Because of this, I am going to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam. I will cut off from Jeroboam every last male in Israel���slave or free. ^[a] I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns dung, until it is all gone. 11 Dogs will eat those belonging to Jeroboam who die in the city, and the birds will feed on those who die in the country. The LORD has spoken!’

12 “As for you, go back home. When you set foot in your city, the boy will die. 13 All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one belonging to Jeroboam who will be buried, because he is the only one in the house of Jeroboam in whom the LORD, the God of Israel, has found anything good.

1 Kings 17

Elijah Fed by Ravens

1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe ^[b] in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.”

2 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah: 3 “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. 4 You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.”

5 So he did what the LORD had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. 6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.

2 Kings 2

Elijah Taken Up to Heaven

1 When the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. 2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here; the LORD has sent me to Bethel.”
But Elisha said, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.

3 The company of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and asked, “Do you know that the LORD is going to take your master from you today?”
“Yes, I know,” Elisha replied, “so be quiet.”

4 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here, Elisha; the LORD has sent me to Jericho.”
And he replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.

5 The company of the prophets at Jericho went up to Elisha and asked him, “Do you know that the LORD is going to take your master from you today?”
“Yes, I know,” he replied, “so be quiet.”

6 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here; the LORD has sent me to the Jordan.”
And he replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them walked on.

7 Fifty men from the company of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing the place where Elijah and Elisha had stopped at the Jordan. 8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up and struck the water with it. The water divided to the right and to the left, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground.

9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?”
“Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied.

10 “You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah said, “yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours���otherwise, it will not.”

11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind. 12 Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his garment and tore it in two.

13 He picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. 14 Then he took the cloak that had fallen from him and struck the water with it. “Where now is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” he asked. When he struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over.

15 The company of the prophets from Jericho, who were watching, said, “The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha.” And they went to meet him and bowed to the ground before him. 16 “Look,” they said, “we your servants have fifty able men. Let them go and look for your master. Perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has picked him up and set him down on some mountain or in some valley.”
“No,” Elisha replied, “do not send them.”

17 But they persisted until he was too embarrassed to refuse. So he said, “Send them.” And they sent fifty men, who searched for three days but did not find him. 18 When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you not to go?”

Cree

Hey!!!

Thank you Jesus for the past week!!! I had a wonderful week of studying my bible and for the closeness I have with our Father!!! What a week.

I am getting ready for a few things this summer. My Sister Pearls * ladies that I met on Tyler Perry\’s message board* are meeting in ATL for our yearly meet. We\’ve added a new member and she\’s wonderful. We cant wait to meet her this Summer. We are almost ready to go, gotta few more things to take care of and its on!!! I\’m so excited about this. We have been through the storm , but its all clear now and we have moved on from those dark days.

Late at night when I\’m lying in bed. I Thank God for all he\’s done for me. He truly loves me and I know this for myself. I\’m always thinking about where he\’s bought me from. I\’m 40 years old, my daughter is in her Senior year at Wayne State University. The years of raising her had its ups and downs, mainly I was learning a lot of different things. One thing about those days I hate most are, that people that knew me from back then, always remind me of how mean I use to be. One day me, my sister and our 2 God sisters were going to the MGM Grand Casino downtown Detroit for dinner, and my God sister mentioned a time when I use to be soooo mean to them * I\’m the oldest*. It killed me to sit there and listen to her stories, but it was true. Which brings me to this. I asked God why is it so hard for me to get people to be nice and kind to each other, to treat each other with Love and respect? I\’m not sure if I got the answer yet, but I think its because I was so mean for so long, that for all the times I was mean, I have to go back and undo those times, plus gain. Did anyone get that? Like Paul he use to be off the hook!! But when he was blinded and then God made him see again, he knew that God was real. And so all the people that he prosecuted, he had to go back and undo those people he sent down the wrong path, PLUS gain new believers. I guess I dunno. I get frustrated sometimes, because I am so not that person anymore. But it still lingers in my mind how I use to be. And I just hate that!!! I have forgiven myself………..for sure. The more I talk to young gurls about their attitudes, the way they carry themselves, sex, men, anything, they still don\’t want to come out of it. But I\’m going to talk to them till I\’m blue/purple in the face. Somebody talked to me, * wait…….. everyone talked to me* and I owe it to myself/others to do the same . When I think about it, I didn\’t come right out of my ways but when I did, I went into my *mental archives* and pulled out all the *Pearls of Wisdom* notes that people dropped in my Spirit and I applied them. And that\’s why I\’m the person I am today. I Thank God. Thank you, Thank you Lord for changing the way I think and look at life. Thank you!!!

I guess I won\’t be going to see Janet Jackson on Sept 27 here at the Palace. I\’m sick about it too. I couldn\’t find anyone to go with me. People always complain about how much stuff cost, never having Faith. But when they see me doing well, or me doing things, they always want to know *whats the secret*? Wondering how I\’m able to do this and do that. Please –I have stupid, mad, IGNANT FAITH!!! No one can ever put me in a box. If I want something I\’ll get it, and if * dad* says No, then that means NO! I so understand that. I so understand. But in the meantime, I will ask. I wish that I was going to see my gurl. Come Sept 27, I\’m going to be one sad gal.

For many years, I never wanted to do things alone. I always wanted or felt I needed someone to do them with me. I\’m glad I\’m not like that anymore, because I would be home many and plenty of times. I think I first came out of it about 5 years ago. I started off going to the movies alone. LOL That was a trip my first time. Every time someone asked me to go with them, I\’m always there, always the one driving, always saying–yeah lets go!!! But as soon as Lacrease wanted to go to the movies or to see Anita Baker, no one * had money* so they say. So I said wait– up hold. Why is it that every time Mary J Blige come to town, Jahiem, Usher, and everybody else, I\’m always there with them to see *their favorites*, but as soon as Anita Baker comes to town I end up buying one ticket? LOL I told my gurls, I got yall. When yall see my doing things and not asking yall, don\’t get mad, don\’t ask how, just say gone gurl!! LOL I\’m not waiting on nobody no more. I\’m doing my thang. I\’m not mad at nobody, if ya wanna go, call me if not oh well SEE YA! LOL

My coworker said to my Sister this week when she was in Walmart shopping. Its because of Lacrease we don\’t go out to dinner anymore. I said NO BOO, its because of YOU we don\’t go out to dinner anymore. I said YOU don\’t like to drive. Every time we go somewhere you expect for me to pick you up. I said you have a car just like the rest of us. I said when I call everybody up to make plans, then I feel that I should drive. I said you never call the dinner dates, because you don\’t want to drive. I said I love to drive, I would drive any and every time we go * I did too at least 4 times* but when I realized that you ALWAYS want somebody to pick you up. I haven\’t even bothered to ask. THEN………… on the way of dropping her off at home, here she comes with a * stop here, stop there request* GURL BYE! She got me messed all the way up–for real! LOL I aint finna do all that!!! I love her to pieces tho. But I had to put an end to our Sunday Gurls Dinner at the Casino.

Since I\’m not going to see Janet, that same day her tickets went on sale, I decided to put down payment on a cruise with my coworker and her Family Reunion for next Oct 25- Nov 1 2009. Yep, a whole week, and its my first cruise. Yeaaaaaaaa. The whole trip including airfare and pass port is only $1500.00. I\’ll have a whole year plus to pay on it. They said the time to start shopping for clothes is NIGH!!! LOL So Imma start buying when fall sets in. The clothes are clearance and Ill have them for next year. I\’m excited. Too bad I don\’t have a special someone to go with me. Well if I did, he would have to be a straight up friend, because I don\’t trust myself too much to go with a guy I liked. No way!!! LOL

Yesterday my coworker asked me would I take her grand daughters Ipod home so that my daughter could download her some songs on to it. I asked my daughter if it was okay, she said yeah sure. She had it wrapped up with her list of songs. So when I got home, my daughter asked for it. She went to turn it on, and it wouldn\’t come on. My daughter said to me, did this thing work when she gave it to you? I said yeah, I test it and came on. Its a brand new Ipod, it should work. I didnt drop it, because mines was in the same bag as hers. I didnt have it by water. I couldnt figure out what was up with this gurls Ipod. We looked at each other and we said Oh goodness, how am I going to tell this lady, that this Ipod doesn\’t turn on/work? How can we prove this? How can we even communicate this stor
y to her. I\’m like OH GOD PLEASE HELP US!!!! Trying to be nice. I bought 3 Ipods, each time they came out with one, I bought it, because me and Neisha both love music. I paid $$$$$$$ for them too. So, I\’m saying to myself, I guess Imma have to come up off one of mines to replace hers. Then I kept saying naw, naw there has got to be a reason why this isn\’t coming on. So we tried charging it with our charger, and left it charging all night. My daughter was frustrated, I was just going crazy in my mind. We didn\’t even get a chance to see what the child had on the thang, we couldn\’t even turn it on. Before I went to bed, I laid my hands on the Ipod and prayed. Neisha went to bed puzzled and feeling bad– * Us Virgos*. I laid in bed 4 am this morning, thinking about that Ipod. God said: Lacrease don\’t worry about it, just go to sleep you gotta go to work in the morning. Each time I heard that I wouldn\’t say……..OK. I would just keep going over in my head, how did I get myself into this? After a while I got sleepy. I heard God say: Lacrease don\’t worry about it. That time was different. I said OK. And then I felt peace. I went to sleep.

This morning I got up to use the bathroom , then went into my office straight to the Ipod. I went to unplug the charger and then I tried to turn in on. NOTHING. I was glad my coworker didn\’t have to work today because I would have to tell her what happened, and I wasn\’t ready yet. I went on to work, and this white lady * I like to describe the person* and her 2 daughters came through my line and somehow we got to talking about Ipods. Something * God* told me to ask the gurls how do you turn on the newer model of the old Ipods. The gurl was happy to explain to me. She said press down the Menu button at the same time you press down the circle in the middle. I started thinking about ours and you only have to press down the start play/pause button. I\’m like COOL!! I came home this afternoon, went straight to the Ipod and did exactly what she said to do, and it came right on!!! Oh goodness. I kept on saying Thank you Jesus. Thank you Lord!!! I\’m glad I didn\’t have the attitude I had back in the day. I was willing to give up one of mines just to make things right. How can you tell a young gurl, her Ipod doesn\’t work anymore and you were the last one with it? The songs are downloaded and I will return it on Monday.

Mr. Tyler Perry sent out 2 emails this week. They really blessed me. Tyler doesn\’t know it yet tho, but God has huge plans for him. He thinks he\’s going to be making movies all his life– nope I can\’t see that. Its going to be greater than that. And I\’m going to watch it all go down. That\’s why I adore him because he Minister to the people. A lot of people go to his board and they are really going through. I mean its sad sometimes, they are looking for a word from God through Tyler. Its almost like he\’s a Minister. By sending those messages out, he has truly started something positive. They/we need him. I just hate the fact that when he needs to vent about something, they want to ask him why this and why that. He needs a shoulder to cry on too. OOOO you just cant tell some people nothing!!! People expect you to walk around with glue, and duck tape all the time, patching up their things, but when you need them to listen………….they cant understand why YOU are going through. Like you don\’t use the bathroom , and call 911. OK, did I just get mad? LOL I can be sarcastic. Keep on blessing people Tyler. I\’m always, always praying for you!!!

Tomorrow is my mother\’s Birthday she\’s 59. Well today is her Bd its after 12. She is giving herself a Birthday Party, and she is cooking up some stuff too. She told my brother today on the phone when he asked her what she wanted for her BD. I want this cell phone, but I think Z * that\’s me * got it for me. I said NO I didn\’t get it momma. She said O. HEHEHE I DID GET IT, BUT SHE IS NOOOOOOISY!!! LOL She wanted that phone for the longest. I got it for her, but Imma give it to her when everyone leaves after dinner. Imma let her go the whole day without it. LOL I love my momma. She is my gurl!!! I mean she is sooooooooo sweet and cool. We have been best friends since I was a young gurl, when she told me all her secrets. They are in my head to this day. And that\’s where they will stay.

Aiight, let me go and write some parts of my book. GOD GOT SOMETHING IN MY BELLY OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I\’M PREGNANT!!! Let me get busy y\’all. I love you all so so so very much. Thanks for all the hits on my page * LOTS OF THEM TOO* and the lovely messages. I will continue to keep my comment page closed, because I love to write and be free.

This song below is for Mr. Tyler Perry!

Hey,

Last night when I posted I was so sleepy I went to BED! LOL

I had a whole lot to blog about, but sho I can\’t think of it now. This morning when I woke up I was sitting on the toilet thinking as I normally do. Sometimes I\’ll look up and be there just thinking and laughing to myself. Well anyway, yesterday while at work I was feeling a little irritated between my thighs. For the life of me I couldn\’t think why was my thighs feeling irritated. So I went to the bathroom pulled down my pants and sure enough it was red and full of little bumps. I\’m like……….dang whats going on.

So this morning as I\’m sitting on the toilet, I\’m thinking okay I minus well get washed up and dressed now while I\’m in here, because we\’re going out to Texas Road House for dinner. Then God said: that soap there….* I looked ova at the soap rack* is what was making you break out yesterday…. check it. So me……………being Cree said naw, I hid that bar of soap in the back of the closet, and bought a 8 pack of Lever and placed it in the front of the linen closet. As I\’m sitting there going back and forth with that voice. I realized that it was God!!! LOL So, I jumped up, opened the linen closet door and searched high and low for that one bar of soap, I hid in the closet that made me break out so bad, I was a MESS FOR WEEKS!!! I couldn\’t find it. So I opened up a brand new bar of Lever and matched the color of the soap with the one in the soap dish, and realized that someone * probably my niece who spent the weekend with us* had grabbed the bar of soap that I\’m allergic too, that I kept in the back of the closet, opened it, and placed it on the soap dish. I was so amazed at how God keeps talking to me and revealing little mysteries to me. He didn\’t have to tell me about that soap. I would have use it and broke out again. I would have never thought to think that was the actual bar of soap that broke me out. I still cant figure out why would I even have kept it in the first place. I finally threw it away today. I thanked God, over and over again. He is so amazing.

Tyler Perry sent out an email today. I was so happy to read the things he has written to his fans. I love how he talks about God. And in this message he talks about GIVING!!! I\’m like yesssssssssss Tyler!!! Give the fans some FOOD to chew on. LOL I know he fed me today. Tyler will always be my baby, and I\’ll pray for him forever. That\’s why I am so connected to him, he knows God, and he has an audience that will follow him. He\’s a Minister in his own way.

Alright, I\’m closing for tonight, Gotta get up earrrrrrrrrrly in the morning and go to work!!!! Below is a photo of someone my daughter graduated from High School with. This gurl look just like me!! * compare it to the photo of me at the top* OMG. I told my daughter to send me that photo so that I can post it. I gotta talk to God about this one. LOL Night yall. I\’m sleepy again!!

To my friend * winks to you*.

Hey hey

Today was a good day!!! Thank you Jesus!!! I woke up this morning not wanting to go to work at all. It was one of those days where I just wanted to stay in bed. I can\’t miss work tho, I have a trip coming up next month, and I don\’t want any bills on my back before or after I get back home. That\’s a terrible feeling. Your out of town shopping and stuff, then you have a flash back of coming home to a bill, shoo that will mess up your shopping experience. Naw, lol been there done that.

Today I have a lot going on in my head, nothing serious, just funny thoughts and things I want to write down before going to bed.

Back in March 2004. I was apart of an on line Ministry- Am I My Sister\’s Keeper. Angela and her husband had bought me a plane ticket to New York, but her apartment was in New Jersey. I told her that I was catching the Greyhound to NY, because I was afraid of flying. She called me after reading my email and said to me Lacrease you are not flying. You have to come out of that fear of flying. She said what if God called you to travel places where its too long and time consuming to ride the Greyhound Bus? I thought to myself……..I can\’t see me having to fly anywhere. She told me to get somewhere alone, so I went into my bathroom and she just started praying for me over the phone. \’These prayers were so powerful, I was crying, and after about 10 minutes I was instantly over the fear of flying. I can\’t even explain it. My fear was instantly GONE!!! As the days were leading up to me flying to New York, she called me and emailed several times asking was I coming? I said gurl I am there!!!! I am no longer fearful of flying. I knew she believed me, and I KNEW I wasn\’t afraid. Days later she sent my airplane ticket thru email, and the day it was time for all 8 of us to go to New York I was there.

When I got there, they hugged me and asked me how was my flight. I told them to be honest the plane landed too soon, I was really enjoying being up in the sky!!! Now here I am flying to ATL, with 2 of the 4 Michigan Pearls and I will pray for them as someone prayed for me. I know God did that for me, because before that, you couldn\’t tell me nothing about flying. I\’m flying to Houston next Oct for a week cruise. I\’m about to do it up in flying!! Thank you Jesus.

When all 8 of us got there, we had a Leadership Conference. She has an apartment in the same building as Queen Latifah lives in NJ. So just imagine our atmosphere. We had no time to play, it was all business. Each day the Leaders had something planned for us to do. On the second day they waited to almost midnight, made us change into these outfits * I still have mines *. They placed backpacks on us filled with HEAVY HEAVY jugs of water, plus we had to carry an egg in one hand and a gallon of water in another. And then we took to the streets for hours and hours and hours not knowing where we were going. The only people knew was the 2 Leaders. I was the biggest one, so I was about to pass out!!! We hopped on NY trains, from here to there. Seem like forever for us to get back to the apartment and lay out in that bed. Next thing I knew we were about to start walking

Yep, the Brooklyn Bridge!!!! I was horrified when I saw how long this Bridge was in person. We had to walk this whole Bridge. Talking about a Sister who was TIIIIED!! And get this. We couldn\’t drop, or crack the egg, also we could switch off the gallon of water in each hand, even if someone in the group needed help anyone was allowed to carry their egg or water for them, only until they regrouped.It was early morning, cold/hot, scary. I needed help on that Bridge. I can see my Sister Keepers gurls faces now looking at me, like oooooooooo Lacrease, Lord help her!! LOL Its funny now , but it wasn\’t funny worth a Darn back then. LOL Before we left the apartment for this 5 hour journey through NY and New Jersey, they told us the purpose of that assignment was to learn how to juggle, God, friends, family, job, issues, all at the same time. Boy did it seem wack then, but today in my life. The person and Leader I am today, if it wasn\’t for those exercises and LORD KNOWS the ones I havent got to writng about yet, has helped me in my life today. That\’s why I am ask to lead so many things, it all comes together now. God was preparing me. I couldn\’t even grasp all that stuff they were teaching us about the bible, and ministry then in 2003. Never ever knowing that I would need it now. I have 2 projects going on RIGHT now as I type, and even this message has me about to step up my game. God has something in my belly that is about to start growing. I have learned not to speak prematurely but baaaaby when it starts to happen for me, you all will be the first to know about it. So get ready!!! I want to say to Angela and Vanessa thank you both so much for your Leadership Skills. Ive been to Chicago 3 times for Leadership Meetings with them, and to New York/New Jersey. Angela is a Minister under Smokie Norful Church Victory Cathedral Worship Center outside Chicago. And Vanessa is into Media Relations at her Church in New Jersey. I\’m sooooooo proud of them!!!

Yesterday after service I read my Bible for 9 hours right here at this computer straight. I had to meditate on it I kept on going back and forth over the Scriptures. You have to read it like that sometimes to get that good understanding you need before moving on.

I\’m sleeping. I have more to share tomorrow. Good Night!!

Cree

Hey Hey

Today was a good day!!! Woke up this morning felt my legs, arms, face, check my sight and speech and said Thank you Jesus!!! Thank you Lord. I make a habit of stopping in the middle of what whateva I\’m doing to let God know that I am forever thankful.

Yesterday I was reading the beginning story of King Solomon and how wise he was. But later on in his life, he began to worship other God\’s and marry these types of women God warm him about. It just shows us that we get caught up in other things, and turn away from God.

Which reminds me of how I ask God to show me who I am. I ask him that question so that I can acknowledge the fact that I fall short daily, and when I go to him and ask him to show me who I am, I am wiling to see just who I am.

Today he showed me Lacrease.

I notice that whenever I\’m talking to someone and they start telling me something about them that\’s either positive or negitive. I can instantly * and not on purpose* think of a similar situation involving myself. For example: If a friend comes to me and tell me about a time when her and another person fell out over a guy. I always go back into my *mind* and pull out a story to relate to her. Instead of me listening to the story and giving her advice if she wants, I end up always putting myself in that same boat with this person. And yes, many many many things people come to me for I have experienced it. And if I haven\’t, I can tell you of someone who has. Today this lady was telling me something * I forgot what it was* next thing you know I was on the subject of how I did the same thing. And after a few seconds, I thought about it and was like……wait a minute Lacrease, this is NOT your story this is her story!!! I dunno why I do that. So I said God…….. why do I do that?

• Am I trying to let this person * feel* comfortable in finishing their story?
• Am I trying to let them know that I *feel* them on their story?
• Am I setting the atmosphere in relating to them, so that when I come to the conclusion of the problem, they would listen to me and take my advice?

I really want to know Lord why do I do that. I noticed that people\’s face light up they are sharing something with you who understands them and have been though the same things. I never ever lie about being in a situation….. no never. I just want to understand why do I feel the need to let this person know…..boo * I feel you pain* because I have been though this, or I know someone who has. Tonight I was talking to my Sister Pearl on the phone , her niece got married today. And since I had just want to a wedding a few weeks ago, I learned we did some of the same things, it was just so exciting to hear the good news of her niece. While she was talking I wanted to say oooooo we did that, or ooooooo yeah gurl I know that you mean. or yeah yeah yeah I know what you\’re talking about. I know God can feel my excitement, all while she was talking ,he told me to just LISTEN. He said \”Lacrease just listen*. And so I did. It wasn\’t even hard. God knows that I don\’t to take over the conversation. I just can relate to a lot of things, but its not about that, its about listening. He\’s teaching me to listen. I have this feeling inside me to * comfort* people, and I find that once they know you\’ve been the same things, you can Minister to them better. So that\’s what God has shown me today. Now I must go to work on Monday * as well as now* and listen to people\’s stories without ALWAYS adding my story to it. God is NOT done with Lacrease. He is not finished with me yet.

Quick story. Last week, my Church* Pastor Edgar Vann* held this 3 day Fugitive Safe Surrender Program * well check it out for yourself* CLICK THE LINK BELOW.

http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail;jsessionid=1AE4DC86921E9A…

And all the days leading up to this day, my coworker had been asking me directions on how to get there and said that she was going. The day came and went and I know that she would return to work on Monday. God said to me, when you see her, she\’s going to rant and rave about how it turned out for her. So, In my mind I\’m like BET!! Ok thanks dad for the heads up. I know its going to make me mad when I hear it, don\’t talk about my Church or my Pastor and how we do things. Didn\’t the weekend pass and here she comes to work Monday morning, spotted me at the register, came over to me and said…… Lacrease, I went to your Church and they didn\’t have it organized or nothing. I stood out there in the heat so long, …….I left!!! She caught me totally off guard.Plus I was in the middle of ringing up a customer. She hadn\’t even punched in before she started on that story. Before I knew it I ripped into her a like a German Shepard on the mailman. I said gurl you mean to tell me you waited all that time and didn\’t take care of your business, all that talk you did about going? I said I don\’t care how crowed or unorganized it was, you had business to take care of. Made me mad. After I said that, she realized that I was offended and she said oh it wasn\’t for me, I was with my cousin, it wasnt organized at all. We are not close friends or even talk on the phone, but we respect each other. Just as she snapped back at me. I heard the rooster crow!!! I failed the test. All I needed to say was. O I\’m so sorry about that, hopefully if we have another one, she/you will know what to expect. She needed to be comforted, not yell and say….you should\’ve went!! LOL She wanted me to apologize for it being unorganized, and normally I would, but she caught me totally off guard. See that\’s what God is showing me, situations like that. When he gives me a word, I am to know how to handle the situations. And Lord knows I know how. Its just my mind is always on speed dial , tweak mode, and * get em gurl Madea style* sometimes and I get caught up. Imma get it right. I promise Lord.

Well, its time I depart for now, I\’m going to read my lessons on King Solomon, its sooooo interesting. Don\’t forget to read the One Line Bible in a year. Im gone to bed, Im crossed sided again!!!

God Bless You All

Hello!!!

Today was a CHALLENGING LEARNING WONDERFUL DAY for Lacrease. If you never read a message from me, hear me today.

This morning I got up for work. It was a short day for me 9-1. I felt good. I Thank God for waking me up this morning, I looked in the mirror and everything was in tact. Always always always give Thanks to God for waking you up in the morning, even if you forget and remember later on in the day, Thank him.

Before I left out of the door, I had my hands on the doorknobs and said a prayer. Got to work and went to my register. Not long after I got there, this middle aged white lady come through my line. I spoke to her as I do in my helloooooooooooooooooooooo how are you voice. She spoke back and then it went down hill from there.

I looked up at the screen and told her the total. She said * I want $20.00 back*! So, I looked at her and I said huh? You want $20.00 back? She said yeah. I said maam back from where, you haven\’t given me anything. Then she said, I\’m giving you a check!!! So, I\’m like okay, so I stands there, and wait for her to give me her check. She is staring at me like……FINISH MY TRANSACTION!!! I said ma\’am, you haven\’t given me anything. She says I want $20.00 back in money!!! So I looked down on the counter ( on her side of the register* and there is HER WHOLE CHECK BOOK, she hadn\’t tore off the check from the book, signed , dated it or anything. I\’m not allowed to touch anything of hers, she has to pass me what she want me to have. Plus I don\’t know how she plans to pay me . When I realized that my line was getting long and she wasn\’t bulging. I INSTANTLY TURNED PROPER LIKE MADEA * not even on purpose*. LOL I said maaaaaammmmmmmm, in order for you to GET $20.00 backKKKKKKKK, you have to tear YOURRRRRRRR checkkkkkkkkkkkk out of YOURRRRRRRRRR check book. I can\’tttttttttt do it for UUUUUUUUU. She says I Ok, I\’ll tear it out of the book!!! Aiiiiiight aiiiiight aiiiiight aiiiiight aiiiiight,I heard you. REAL REAL REAL LOUD. So, I looked at her……… and I\’m saying to myself…….. * dang………….what\’s wrong wit her*. The nicer I was to her, the meaner she got. Finally she tore off the check, I told her that she had to sign it and put the OVER amount on it. She said, WHY I GOTTA DO THAT? I AINT BEEN DOING IT. I said ma\’am at this Walmart……….. you have to sign it. So she picked up the pen that\’s connected to the credit card machine and start signing her name. I said MAAM, YOU HAVE TO USE A INK PEN. She was maaaaad at me. I was about to give her my pen, but the lady behind her gave her one. After she signed the check and puts the drivers licenses on the counter * she didnt want to hand it to me*, I picked it up and set it down on the counter until the check comes out of the printer. All while we were waiting, I was thinking to myself, dang God what\’s wrong with this woman? Why is she so angry? So I said okay God Imma make friends with her OK, she must be having a bad day. I\’m thinking maybe its me. As I was giving her the check and ID back, I read her name and said here you are Ms. Jane. She looked at me mean and LOUD and said: UUUUUUUUUUUU

DON\’T KNOW ME WELL ENOUGH TO CALL ME JANE!!!!!!!! I know I turned purple cause that was the last straw. I said out loud as I threw my hands UP in the AIR, GOD THATS IT!!!!!!!!!! I TRIED, THATS IT!!!!!!!!! I said Maam, I wouldn\’t dare call you by your first name without saying Maam. I said TO you MS JANE. She looked at me and said OH, I THOUGHT YOU CALLED ME JANE!. I said I was trying to make friends with you, SHE SAID REAL REAL REAL REAL LOUD VOICE: YOURE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE MAKING FIRENDS WITH ME, IM A CUSTOMERRRRRRRRRRRR I looked at her and said WOW she don\’t get it!!! She looked back at me and said WOW MY AAAAAAAAA BUTTT!

AND DONT YOU SAY ANYTHING ELSE!!!!! * I guess she was going to tell me on.

She kept staring at me. At that very moment I started thinking about how every minute and every hour we need Jesus. I started thinking how Jesus can never leave Lacrease Walker. I started thinking just how close I was to going to jail . I starting thinking how this lady don\’t know \”Jesus is saving her life right now* and she don\’t have a clue. This wasnt about me being called to the office, or getting fired, this wasnt even between Walmartanymore. This was bwtween me, her and God. As she is staring at me, my hands were begging me to grab her neck.* I\’m just being real* At that moment we were staring at each other, I starting thinking about what if I didn\’t have my sweet Jesus in my life standing between us right at this very moment? I started thinking…. that Jesus is so real, he was working for me on the spot like I never seen him before. All I kept thinking while looking at her in shock was, this is why we need Jesus, for situations and interventions such as these. He is the greatest Lawyer ever!!!! So after I snapped out of making my what *seem like 5 minute MOVIE of me wanting to shake this woman out, and negotiating with Jesus NOT TOO * this black gurl behind her was smiling at me, waving both hands in the air saying to me *Wooooooooooooooo Sah* Woooooooooooooo Sah* She made me smile too. I told the lady to have a nice day, and started ringing up the woo sah lady. I don\’t have time for that mess.

Why can\’t I just have a good day? I only worked 4 funky hours and the more I smiled the more the people who had stuff on their minds came and *TRIED* to transfer their going on\’s * LOL* to me. I work with the public, I deal with at least 250 different Spirits a day. You got to be prayed up. You cant miss a day, you cant be too tired to say Lord help me, give me strength. In this world today, you will find yourself in all kinds of stuff, just because you let the flesh kick in and over rule you. Can you all imagine what Jesus and the disciples went through? I think about that alllllllllllllll the time. I betta grow some tougher skin huh?

The only reason why I write my experiences on yahoo 360, is because I\’m still a work in progress. I want people to see themselves in me. I want people to do better than me in these same kinds of situation. I could have easily kept this to myself and learned my own lessons, but I\’m real about mines, and since we are all people, I know we all face the same challenges working with the public/people as I do….at one time or another.

And you know another thing I learned today. Sometimes I try to make people out to be * good people* and I want to believe that people are all in a good moods, and that people can all come together in one big room and there will be no arguments and no disagreements. I can see myself in that SAME ROOM full of people, going
around asking. are you okay? Are you okay? Is everything okay ova here? What\’s wrong gurl, things working out? Hey, do you guys need anything? And boom, as soon as something jumps off, I\’m the first one saying * ITS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE LIKE THIS GOD*. Well knock knock Lacrease!!!

I love you all Good night!!!

Today was a beautiful day. Anytime you can wake up and say Thank you Jesus for letting me see another day, you such open your mouth and give him some Praise. Oh where would I be if it had not been for Jesus who is on my side? I can think of a lot of places, but you know what, even tho my eyes got off him for a season, they are back on him for Good!!! When I see him face to face I just want to stare at him. I want to touch his face and rub my fingers through his lips. I want to smell his neck * I know, I know its weird to you, but this is just me*. I want to feel his touch, I need a hug. LOL I do. I really need one from him, and I\’m gonna get it.

How is everyone? I love talking to my daughter Neisha. Its funny how people use to say that since we were born on the same day, same hospital, 3 minutes difference on Sept 3, 19 years apart that we wouldn\’t get along. People knew how I was, and knew Neisha to be a quiet, and obedient child and said that we would clash when she got older. I beg to differ. We are so close it scares me sometimes. She is a like me but she also has her own style and taste. The more people said that we wouldn\’t get along, the more I embraced her as being her own person. WE are a lot in many ways, but in the ways we are different we UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT EACH OTHER VIEWS. We listen to each other. She listens to me which brings me to this conversation that me her and my mother had recently.

I\’m the kinda person who will take charge when I need to find out information, and need to talk to a certain person to get the ball moving. My mother always had my dad, and he was the person who like to do those things. I was a single parent growing up, so I had to call the phone company to negotiate my bills. I had to call the telephone people and cut deals. I had to make a dollar out of .25 so I know how to talk to people who can help me.

I always believe that people watch you. If you\’re anything like me, you can tell who are good and who are on some *Otha stuff*. Then if your lucky you can meet their family members and *sometimes* it can back up who you believed that person to be. I know someone right now, that if they wanted a ride to the store, I would have police escort me before they jump in my car. That\’s not good credit. I told my daughter to always, always be truthful, always be honest because not only is that Honorable to God. But when you are in need of anything, God will lay it on the heart of the person that you need help from to bless you. I know this first hand. She always says to me, Ma….when you need something done you can call anybody. It wasn\’t always this way for me. I had to show God that I can be trust worthy. I use to be off the hook, and I have written that plenty of times. I told her when you become a State Prosecutor don\’t start getting in practice of bribes, or hanging around anyone knowling *dirty*. That stuff catches back up with you, and it ruins your reputation with God and the people. Its not only a time to work, but a time to Minister to others. She will be in the system of all types of people and situations. Her chance will surely be there. I tell her all the time, ask God for Wisdom, Understanding, Discernment, and Peace in everything! If its not the truth don\’t stand for it. In each area of her life for being honest and trustworthy, God will provide all of her needs. HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!

18 Be careful that no one entices you by riches;
do not let a large bribe turn you aside.

Job 36 (New International Version)

I\’m going to close for now. Ill be back tomorrow. I\’m going to finally get to my favorite Hollywood person and why he is chosen………for such a time like this.

Cree

At the end of the day after I have burned God\’s ears off I like to come here and do my favorite thing………..write.

I\’m off on Sunday\’s, but its back to work on tomorrow. I\’m going to see the Incredible Hulk this weekend. I use to love watching that show when I was coming up. Bill Bixby was my boooooooooooy. LOL I wanted to go to the Midnight Showing on Thursday Night, but I\’ll have to wait.

Me and Neisha have been reading the Bible in One Year on line for over 3 months now, and it is amazing!! For some reason, I look at the Bible in a whole new light. I use to always run to read the New Testament, but baaaaby take it from me, the Old Testament is THE BOMB! Before each reading I pray because I want to get true understanding, wisdom and knowledge. I am the Cameragurl seeing the scriptures come alive from all angles. I want to feel the Spirit of the people, visualizing them, and seeing everything that I am reading. ITS ABSOLUTELY THE GREATEST FEELING IN THE WORLD!! LOL Is all I can say. I have to snap out of the picture sometimes because I feel as though I am there for real. lol http://www.oneyearbibleonline.com/june.asp?version=72 is dated and we just finished reading about David. He died in yesterdays story. I feel as tho I know him personally. I was sad to see his story come to an end, but Solomon is King now, and today this is what he asked for:

3 Solomon showed his love for the LORD by walking according to the instructions given him by his father David, except that he offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.

4 The king went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices, for that was the most important high place, and Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. 5 At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, \”Ask for whatever you want me to give you.\”

6 Solomon answered, \”You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David, because he was faithful to you and righteous and upright in heart. You have continued this great kindness to him and have given him a son to sit on his throne this very day.

7 \”Now, LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. 8 Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. 9 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?\”

10 The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. 11 So God said to him, \”Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, 12 I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. 13 Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for—both wealth and honor—so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. 14 And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.\” 15 Then Solomon awoke—and he realized it had been a dream.
He returned to Jerusalem, stood before the ark of the Lord\’s covenant and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then he gave a feast for all his court.

Today\’s New International Version (TNIV)
1 Kings 3:3-15

When I read that I had to step back from my desk. Solomon didnt say he wanted 12,000 more horses, gold or a thousand wives. He said Wisdom to GOVERN YOUR PEOPLE!!! LOOK AT HOW UNSELFISH THAT IS. I\’M TELLING YALL, WE GOTTA START TAKING CARE OF EACH OTHER BETTER THAN WHAT WE ARE DOING. What Solomon wanted wasn\’t anything about him. Then God said, know what? I got you………, also let me drop this in your Spirit……..13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.

Everyday I try to be sensitive to the voice of God. Sometimes we talk to much, to often say the wrong things and we don\’t leave room for him to speak to us. That\’s why I had to cut down on how many people that are in my circle. When you finish dealing with people in your circle with all their issues and yours put together, you are too tired to hear God. So daily I\’m asking God show me LaCrease.

Well, this past week on Wed I was told by my manager that we cant punch in the numbers to the Bridge Cards/Food Stamps, anymore, and that if the card didn\’t swipe , they couldn\’t use it. It angered me because 97% of those cards don\’t work. I know that, I\’m a cashier. So I said you know what, the next person who come through my line with a card that doesn\’t swipe, I was going to ask them to call management over to talk to them. Here comes this lady and her daughter, her card doesn\’t swipe and after I couldnt explain to her why that we can no longer punch in the numbers, she wanted to talk to someone higher. I told her that the first manager that I call over she can\’t help you at all,I told her to ask her for someone higher. She did and when our Co manager came over , he flat out lied to her with some story of fake cards, keep in mind Bridge cards need secret pin numbers……… it works like a debt card. She couldn\’t get her groceries. So I said to him why don\’t you put a sign on the door that says we cant accept non swiping bridge cards. * I knew he wouldnt dare do this* He said No. I said well are we to ask every customer are they using a bridgehead? * which I would neve do*. Then he says we cant do that either. I said so, just wait to ring up all their groceries, total them out and then when they hand me over their non swiping Bridge card, tell him *OH SORRY WE NO LONGER ACCEPT NON SWIPING BRIDGE CARDS AS OF TODAY*. He listened how stupid that sound and next thing I knew, he told my manager to tell us all that we can accept them.

Now the point I\’m making in all this is, we all have a mouth. We need to learn to use it in the right ways. WE need to use our v
oice in positive lights. See I have this thing, when someone is wrong and it effects a lot of people, Ill get *fleshly upset* and can move a lot of people to different reactions. GOD DOENST LIKE THAT AT ALL. I\’m learning to go to the source. I wasn\’t going to stop asking questions to the co manger until I got answers. You cant do all those families like that.

A voice of truth is a million words.

Good night!
