Another One of My Kids…

These last few days I’ve been thinking hard about our youth today.

I wrote yesterday on one of my students and how he’s being charged with MURDER.

Last month one of my favorite students was KILLED when he was driving a stolen jeep which turned over and threw him out of it. I was sick when I found out that it was HIM. I had seen the story on the news.. never in a million years thought it would be him.

What I LOVED about him……he was loving underneath all his BADNESS. LOL He worked my nerves every day I saw him. I would talk to him everyday, all day about his behavior, cursing, and just being bad. He was a big baby, that needed attention. I could see it in his eyes and the things he said. HE use to make me SO angry sometimes, that I would wish he wouldn’t come to school for a whole week. Thing is… LOL LOL He came to school every single day. He hardly ever, ever missed. He use to get mad at me when I kicked him out of the hallways and lunch period. One day he was soooooooooooo mad at me, that I was happy…. that meant he wouldn’t get on my nerves. So when he was around me he wouldn’t talk much.

I really grew to LOVE him.. no matter what he got into. I really loved this boy. No matter how “bad” I just call him bad…. but no matter how challenging he was….when I saw him.. I could feel my face light up when he walked into the room. Because I knew he was either going to be silly that day and get on my nerves, or be in one of those moods where he was begging me or bugging me about something. Gosh.. I’m going to miss him. We called him D. Woods. Deangelo Woods was his name. His nickname was Pooney.

Everybody in the whole school knew him because he was always picking on somebody. I use to talk to him all the time about getting himself together and not dying in these streets. I loved that lil boy, but I knew that his days were numbered. I could see it in his walk,eyes, and life. I hated what I saw…. but I know these streets and I know that at times… he just didn’t care. I loved him.. even though he use to make me so mad with him at times. He was still a kid to me, and he was one of those boys that needed just a little more attention.As a MOTHER… I knew that. Below is also a link to the NEWS REPORT here in Detroit on his story.

Um um um… RIP D. Woods

Speak life and pray for the best/BLOG

I woke up today with a terrible headache. So much was on my mind. But after Church and a nap… I’m good. I went to the movies on Friday, but I stayed in the whole weekend. Glad I did too. Plus I caught up on some much needed rest. Sometimes its good to just relax on the couch, to watch a movie. I never do that. I’m not a TV person at all. This winter I’m going to detach from the computer and just relax on the couch. I have to tell myself its okay. I never talk on the phone, so that’s a PLUS. You’d be surprised that the most I talk on the phone is less than an hour a WEEK. I hate talking on the phone. But I can write your eyes off. LOL I spend a lot of time with my friends, siblings and parents, so in person I gets my talking in. LOL

Tonight I found out one of my kids ((students)) in school is being charged with MURDER. I’m seeing these kids DIE or GOING TO JAIL. Everyday last semester I would find out that he was in trouble and would hem him up in the corner and tell him if he don’t stop being bad, he’s going to end up dead or in jail. This last time, we talked for a good 10 minutes, he didn’t want to hear a word I said, but he listened anyway. Promised that he would be good… but it was something in his eyes that told me different. I loved him because if he could just get that “life” out of him, he could be a good person. He always listened to what I had to say, and he always, always respected me. I can see that day so clear, like it was yesterday. Every time I saw him, I had a urge to get him in the corner and talk some sense into him. Its so hard seeing your kids going out like this, especially when you can see their future either way. So sad. Here is his story…. he’s the one in the middle. We have to KEEP on our kids. Even in passing and seeing teens on the streets…. speak life into their lives.. no matter what you see in their eyes. Speak life and pray for the best. So sad. CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW.

life point/Blog

Paul suffered greatly during his lifetime– shipwrecks, beatings that left him near death, abandonment of friends, imprisonment, and eventually, execution. Scripture teaches us that all of us face various forms of suffering in our lives. How can you withstand suffering? One way is to ask God to help you have Paul’s attitude of confidence that earthly sufferings cannot come close to comparing to the glory you will one day see.

Spiritually Speaking/BLOG

*In this season… its time I drive down “another street”….in all areas of my life. Yes…. Spiritually Speaking. The blocks and detours I’ve been hitting….. can’t work for me anymore. I see the “potholes” and I’m tired of dodging.***

I had so much on my mind tonight, I thought my head was going to burst open…..yeah.. its that deep. I had to take 2 Advils. I forgot when it gets this way * not often*… I can write to release it. Some things aren’t worth sharing with anyone because its good to sort it out for yourself. I know that when I read it next week or next month, I’m going to laugh because I went through many emotions while writing. Some funny and some will hurt feelings. But the main thing is.. I got it out of my head.

On my way to bed…. Night 🙂

Funny photos and quotes/ Blog

One of the funny things about being on the internet is the silly quotes they add to photos. Sometimes they have me screaming so loud. Here are some of my favorites.

Unnecessary Stops Along the Way… BLOG

One day last year, I was driving and got lost. Even though I had my GPS system on.. I still kept making wrong turns.

Today, in my personal life…..I am so ANGRY with myself for the turns I’ve made and continued to make mentally. All I can do is cry.

I knew I had a vision to go down ONE street, and here I am making stops and turns along the way.

One thing is clear to me…. I WILL NOT MAKE ANY MORE STOPS.

Happy Birthday Tyler Perry

Tyler Perry Birthday is today. Happy Birthday.

He threw himself a party last night and I’m glad that the people invited/chosen had a wonderful time. Not sure why they couldn’t talk about it…? but here’s what Kandi Burruss had to say.

I had one of the best nights of my life last night! I’m not suppose to talk about the party but let me just say I was honored to be invited. @todd167 & I left there feeling inspired. I almost didn’t make the trip to come but I’m so glad I did. It’s so cool when you’re amongst people that you look up to & they treat you with love & mutual admiration & respect. One statement that I took from last night was #DreamBigger! We had a living example of someone who thru prayer & hard work accomplished what most people would have thought wouldn’t have been possible. Well, I thought I was dreaming big before but I’m about to #DreamBigger & see where it takes me! Sending love to everyone as I’m filled with joy as I type this!
