I met a little girl

When my now 38 year old daughter was in elementary I loved kids so much that I worked at her elementary school from Preschool to her 4th grade.

I would work as a teacher assistant, and also the playground and gym when the teachers were on lunch. I loved how kids would run up to me and give me hugs, and tell me that I was their play mom because not only was I motherly but I listened to them. I heard everything they said.

One of the gurls would always look sad. She was well dressed and her hair was always done. She was one of my favorites. When she entered the playground she came straight to me. I could tell that something was going on with her. So one day I asked her. What’s wrong sweetie? She told me that her adoptive mother beat her. She would get in trouble a lot and this went on for a while. I would listen to her daily. I was shocked. But for the life of me the person I am today can’t understand why didn’t I do more to help her. I think about her all the time now. I wonder if she’s still alive, if she ever gotten the help she needed. Is she Okay mentally? Does she have a family?

I feel that I failed her. I feel like I was so wrapped up in the love I showed the kids that I didn’t do anything to help her. I don’t remember if I asked her if she told her teacher or others. I just remember that I didn’t help.

This stays on my mind a lot as we see so many kids abused these days. Back then there were no cellphones and no internet yet.
Please share your thoughts.

I would love to see her today, hug her and tell her how sorry I am that I didn’t do more to help her. ❤️❤️❤️

That God is coming soon.

What’s something you believe everyone should know.

I want everyone to know that Jesus is going to crack the sky. Pray, REPENT, Believe and know that it’s going to happen. Be ready. Don’t have so much fun here that you don’t think about what’s to come. Be ready and watch.

Let’s live forever!

Describe a family member.

My Mother

I am the oldest of 4. When we came home from school she was always home. We loved that. She would greet us with hugs and kisses. I loved them so much. Her hugs could take away ANY financial situation. Yea, that good.

She made sure she had dinner ready. She knew we would be hungry. And when our dad came in, he always had snacks for us. I can hear her saying now, “stop bringing these kids snacks everyday, they don’t need that”. He would bring them anyway.

One thing about my mom, she didn’t play. She would tell us something one time, maybe two and that was it!!! She wasn’t the kind of mom who hollered or raised her voice. She always spoke with a tone which was calming and to the point. She would give us “the eye” and what she wanted done was done. I loved that about her, because I became that same person raising my daughter. We took turns spending time with her one on one. That made us feel special then and now that we’re adults. I believe that is why we all have a special relationship with her today.

Every one of our friends loves her. She’s the kindest, sweetest person you could ever meet.

My Siblings always claim that I’m her favorite. ❤️❤️❤️ Truth is she loves us all. I love you mommy.

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

I LOVE to watch YouTubers explore abandoned buildings.

I enjoy looking into old amusement parks, train stations, factories, shopping malls, hospitals, schools, and things of that nature. The feeling visiting those places when it’s abandoned makes me imagine being there or image seeing others there.

There was a time when these buildings were full of people walking and roaming around the halls smiling, and enjoying the time there. Also sharing in the excitement of its grand opening and its closing.

I enjoy using my imagination to capture the good days of its time.

God Knew/Short Stories


One day I was at the red light, on the over pass, on my way to work.

I heard God say.. LaCrease pray RIGHT NOW as if today was your last day living. He said PRAY NOW. At first I thought I was tripping, because it was with urgency and he said before the light turn green. I remember saying.. God right now? He said pray NOW.

I remember saying Lord Thank you for my life, my family that you hand picked for me. Forgive me for all my Sins, known and unknown. I told him that I wanted to LIVE with him forever. Then….. the light turned green and I was about to enter I-94.

As I was driving, I’m thinking okay what is God up too, what is going on? He knows I ask a lot of questions and think a lot. I’m wondering if I was about to die, I didn’t know what was happening, but I PRAYED just as he told me.

I’m driving and JUST LIKE THAT… I started thinking about something else, and forgot all about what God had me to do. Just as I turned the radio on, and continued to drive to work.. all I saw was BRIGHT RED LIGHTS in front of me. People were breaking HARD. I didn’t know what was going on to cause this all of a sudden STOP. The truck in front of me was blocking my view so I had to rely on him when to stop breaking. All of a sudden, he swerved over to the left, and that’s when I was able to see what he was seeing. When he swerved over I was RIGHT THERE about to run in the back of another TRUCK/SUV HARD!!!! When I say HARD… There was NO WAY in this world I would have survived that accident.  NO WAY!!!! I WAS DEAD!!!

The truck that swerved over to the left  allowed me to see that HE was about to run in the back of another SUV truck. Once I saw what he saw, not only was I BREAKING HARD.. but I didn’t have enough time to stop, so I too had to swerve to the left.. as well. THANK GOD NO OTHER CAR WAS THERE.

I would have DIED.. The impact would have crushed the front end of my car so badly, that it would have blew my chest out. It gave me an instant headache. It never went away that day, and my breaks took a beating.

God knew I was happy to be alive.

What food would you say is your specialty?

Definitely COLLARD GREENS! I can eat a half a pot of these.

Yes, I made these greens.

Growing up my mom made greens on any given day along with corn on the cob, fried chicken, corn bread and kool aid. So I grew up making the same dinners for my daughter. Now that she’s grown and gone, her speciality IS chili.

Ask yourself what is your speciality?

I Had to Cut My Hair/Short Stories

I’m 57 and haven’t had my hair braided since I was a teenager.

My sister came over one day and put some braids in for me. I loved them, but they could have been smaller so they would last longer. I wore them for about a month. It was so different for me because I wasn’t used to getting up in the mornings and not having to do my hair. When I took them down, the waves left in my hair were so pretty. I even took photos. But what happened next SHOCKED ME.

I didn’t comb my hair out; I just went to the sink and started washing it. As I was washing, I noticed that my hair was balling up and feeling thin. It didn’t feel like my normal wash. When I was done and dried it, I ran my fingers through it and saw that it was tangled so badly, I think I went into shock. It was full of clumps that I couldn’t even comb out. I stood there in shock as I tried to detangle it. I tried everything. That’s when I drove to my daughter’s house for her to help me. We did all we could, but I had to cut out the tangled hair. I was devastated. I didn’t know how long it would take to grow back, but I knew what worked for me in the past. Here are some photos from 2022 and now, 2024.

What I used to grow my hair. Ponytails everyday for 2 summers.
I’m so happy my hair grew back and it’s even longer now. Don’t be afraid to try.
