“I’m Gods gurl tough ……BUILT TO LAST”. Crees Blog

Thank you Lord for loving me, and sharing with me
the things I ask you to allow me to understand at this time. My mind runs deep,
and there is not a pen fast enough to catch all of this stuff. But there is one
thing I do know….and that’s my purpose for being here.
After leaving funeral services for a man I have
been knowing 32 plus years, it was clear to me that no more time is to be
wasted, what seemed important seem so minor to me. After listening to testimony
after testimony of how he touched so many lives, just made me sit and cry. My
momma kept looking over me, handling me tissue. But I wasn’t crying about his
death, because he had gave his life to God 2 years ago. He was the one who did
all the maintenance in the building ( his baby brothers Church), helping people,
giving the shirt off his back, he loved to cook, and had nicknames for
everybody. I remember being about 12 years old, I was messing with him as usual
and I made a mistake and ran * really ran* into his cigarette as he sat in the
car, with his arm out of the window. He felt bad about it too. I was so mad at
him, but I knew it was my fault playing too much. LOL As bad as I hated that
burn on my light skin at the time…. I’m happy that its there, to remind me of
him…Lloyd.
Sometimes, I complain about how overwhelmed I am
about my projects, Sistergurls, Raisingurls, my family, friends, work. I
realized at the funeral that “I’m Gods gurl tough ……BUILT TO LAST”.  God has
shown me the influence I have over people, and situations. And I was afraid of
the Power. As I understand my gift, I’m learning to be consistent, which is
really hard for me, but I’m working on it, and its working out pretty well. Time
after time he has shown me, without saying a word how I have the power to move
mountains……and I believe it. That amazes me, there is so much more to do,
and I’m not afraid anymore. I would cry ( happy) right about now, but I
can’t…. I won’t the assignment is already in the book. It’s okay…. I
see….. I know.
My calendar is filled to the brim up until Oct,
and for some reason I’m NOT feeling any pressure. Habakkuk 2 says:
2 Then the LORD replied:
“Write down the revelation
and make it plain on tablets
That’s exactly what I did. I am learning that I cant shut myself
out from the world because I want to be left “alone”. Sometimes I feel that I’m
being pulled in all directions, and most is probably all in my head. LOL I’m
just going to look ahead and do what I have to do. I may seem as if I’m talking
in circles, but I’m not.  We are having dinner at The Motor City Casino $25.00
a plate, but its worth it. We can sit talk, laugh until the next day. Its
important that I meet with my Sistergurls every so often, we have so many issues
that goes on within our families, and if I can touch on them…. I will. I post
on Face book and so many people come to me and tell me how they look forward to
my post, and how they encourage them. This lady who use to work with me, stopped
me in Walmart last week, and asked for a hug and told me how she wakes up
everyday to read one of my stats. That really blessed me because I really didn’t
know people paid attention. This is what I’ve been talking about. There is no
more time to “make friends”, its time to get people to turn to God. I try to
live a life pleasing to God so that people can see it. This is why I have to be
careful of my circle of friends, what I say, what I do, because people watch me.
God is very tough on me on what I say and think….yall just don’t know. Very
tough. He gets down on me TOUGH… READ IT AGAIN ….TOUGH! LOL
My Raisingurls called me and as bad as I want to squeeze them in
this weekend, I can’t. So, tomorrow I’m going to call them and tell them that
we’ll meet next week at my place. I went on line and pulled out an application
for Subway, just so that they can learn how to fill out an application PROPERLY,
and then in the weeks to come, how to do a resume for a career job. These are
important things they should know. I have 2 gurls who are 16 and one 12. We will
have Bible study and that will be on The Tower of Babel. For those who know me,
I  LOVE TO ASK QUESTIONS….so I made up a 20 questionnaire to go over as a
group. LOL And boy can I come up with some questions. LOL

Well, I’m off to bed, how bout its 6:50 am….but I’m off today
so it’s gonna feel good sleeping. Be Blessed!


My Raisingurls…..Cree’s Blog

So,
I met with my Raisingurls on Sunday for dinner and a meeting. I had a lot of
thinking and praying to do about how I was going to go about my group. It was
kinda stressful in a way because I knew that having 15-20 gurls at one time was
going to be too much for one person. I would have to pick up at least 4 gurls at
different locations and when I would get back to my house, at least 10 would be
there waiting for me. I didn’t like that one bit. After the meeting I would have
to take those same gurls I picked up home, and then maybe 2-3 would need me to
drop them off. Thinking back on those days April-Nov, I wonder how I was doing
it all those months alone. LOL I wanted to do this so badly it was nothing
physically, but it was mentally. But this year…… I prayed on it, and I
thought about it a million times.  I decided that I wanted to take in 3-4 gurls.
And it was the best thing I could do.
I sent a letter to each of the gurls and their
parents and I told them that I would pick them up for dinner with a meeting on
Sunday June 26, all I ask is that they bring a pen. They did. Before we left one
of my gurls called me and told me about her friend who lives a few doors down,
and how she should be apart of the group, I told her that when I came to pick
her up to have her friend there so that I could meet her. When I first pulled up
to the house and laid eyes on her, I knew right off that she was the one. I am
so happy to be apart of her life, the things this young 16 year old is going
through is a movie, book and all of God. I’m just so happy right now. At dinner
we talked about everything!!!! LOL Gossip, boys, homelessness, God, FB and
building Character, how to keep your credit in good standing. We had a nice time
together.
The thing that I LOVE MOST is the fact that I can
give my ALL to my gurls. I can give them the one on one that they need. They
told me in the meeting that they’re happy that its only 3 of them, because when
it was a lot of them, they said they couldn’t talk to me like they wanted, and I
knew this, but………there was nothing I could do then.
So, check this out. Before we went to dinner I
took them to pick out some body sprays, because I’m ( true story) going to a
baby shower and instead of them buying something for the baby, I wanted them to
help me pick out 3 fragrances for the mother. I told them to chose the one that
they want buy. After wards we went to dinner, had our meeting and then I passed
out homework. I gave them 2 sheets from the bible about the story of Joseph.
They had 2 days to read it and when I got in touch with them on Tuesday they had
to answer all my questions about the story. I told them that the fragrances were
for them ( they were so happy. LOL LOL LOL), but they had to answer my questions
before they could get them. Tuesday came, and I got in touch with 2 of them and
hope to touch with one today. They answered all my questions and were very
interested in why his brothers did him that way.
What makes me smile and happy is the fact that I
can take them to the movies without asking 3-4 parents to help drive all 31
kids. We can have hotel parties, go bowling, out of town, I can afford dinner
for them all without having them to ask their parents. I’m happy that this is no
longer on my mind, it was really starting to get to me, after prayer and really
thinking about it, I KNOW this is what I’m suppose to be doing. I’m
happy.

Learning to stay in my lane …Cree’s Blog

I remember when I was in my teens I love to
write, it calms me down. Cause right now….  ( cant even write that on
here)
A few days ago I was in line and this lady that
was in front of me was taking so long to put her stuff on the counter, keep in
mind it was 20 items or less. I’m saying to my self, “do she realize that its
people behind her waiting for their turn”. She was very apologetic, but at the
same time she was taking forever. Then she got to saying “I don’t know if I want
that… I don’t know if I want this.”. Then she turns to me and look at me ( my
facial expressions) for my opinion. She got the wrong person for that, cause my
face was so blank you could have drawn me a face on. People like her LOVE to
make sure they have one person “on their side” helping them to CONTINUE IN THEIR
FOOLISHNESS…..and she got the wrong one. I be dammed if I able you to
continue ” taking your time while I’m waiting on my turn”. She had me messed up.
This lady took so long in deciding if she should get her Pepsi’s, that her
friend was embarrassed and left the store. Yes, it was like that!!! LOL At one
point, something in me starts boiling, and my leg start jumping, and I have to
put my head down in my hand, rub my brows and PRAY that GOD keeps me calm so
that I won’t have a outburst. An outburst is when I get upset and I have to talk
myself out of saying words like ” HURRY UP”. The people behind me was laughing
at me, but I was serious. I had to think about stuff to calm me down!!!! My leg
was jumping and I could hear God saying “just don’t say anything, everything is
going to be alright”. And the hard part about it was……….the lady was so
NICE. LOL I just have to learn patience….. a little
better.
Then…
This guy that I use to talk to when I was out in
the world being “fast” came through my line. When I saw him my heart was beating
so fast. We have this flirty, sexy friendship. We talk junk to each other and
its fun. He brings out this side of me that I really like about myself……if I
was married. Not hardcore or anything like that, but the way I talk, smile and
act. He’s sexy and has this appeal that drives me crazy!!! He’s a good friend of
my sisters husband, that’s how we met years ago, we lost contact and that was
it. So, I guess he figure that I was the same person back then as I am today.
Another one, got me messed up!! I gave him my number, I hate talking on the
phone and email cause for some reason what I have to say never comes out the way
it would if I was in person. That’s why I hate talking on the phone…..AND
EMAILING…. I HATE IT! HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE
IT!
He goes right in, and ask if he could come over.
I’m looking at the phone like Oh Lord please don’t let me go in on him, maybe
I’m jumping to conclusions and thinking to far. Then he says…. you know we are
feeling each other and that its been a long time since we saw each other and all
this mess. So, me, I’m like……well okay lets just take it slow. We’re talking
and he’s really hitting nerves in my mind, because he is so aggressive. I said
what’s your sign? Aren’t you a Virgo? He said yes Sep 11. SMH and LOL Those
Virgo men are too much for me, and the reason why is because they remind me so
much of myself it gets on my nerves!!! I let him talk his junk because he was
talking over me about how I’m playing ,and its been a long time coming, I’m
trying to deal under my terms, and so he says…..I’m coming that way and when I
get near, Imma call. #boybye He called and left a message LOL I wouldn’t let him
in my house if a  friendly Lion was giving out $100 bills. When I nut up, people
say I’m crazy, but when I don’t say much they say I’m
playing.
Cree , is going to stay in her lane! Night
