* Hear this Today*

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!!!
