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
