Cree\’s Ramblings!

Today Im rambling, got a lot of things on my mind…….not bad…….. just things that need to be done and done according to my plans.

First off, I wrote down everything I need to do before my trip to ATL. I have to do this to a tee for real. Usually when I get paid I will shop in Walmart buying movies and stuff I really don\’t need. I just hate running out of stuff. I love going to the movies, and out to dinner with my family. But this time Im going to have to learn to say no to those things. I have to buy outfits for my trip, little things like earrings, night gowns, sandals, bras panties stuff like that. I like to have brand new things when I travel. Plus, I have some friends coming in from out of town for the Anita Baker concert July 12. Neisha is going to Ohio for the summer to be with her cousins on her dad side. She\’s been about 5 times already this year, that gurl travels more than me. This trip is really special because I get to see my Sister Pearls, and I love them so much. We all met on the Tyler Perry message board, who would have known? We love that man.

My good friend is getting married June 1, and I cant wait to see her walk down the aisle. I am going to snap so many photos its crazy, she deserves it. Guess what too? She works and supervise her swift at a Group Home, just the place I want to work for the rest of my life. She called me and told me that she can get me in this week!! I was like yesssssss. But I decided that I was going to wait until after this trip was over because I didnt want to lose them. Plus these are my paid vacation days that Im using to go to ATL. She understood and agreed. And she told me that when I was ready to let her know. Aint God good? Look at my daddy. He has always been good to me like that. Always!!!

Have you ever met back up with an old friend or someone you were cool with, and you have a lot of things to tell them, but you just can\’t do it in one sitting? You have to gain that persons trust before you lay everything out? And its not even about any gossip or people in general, but about what life, you, them, things in general. Men dont get that. Women do. Im just not the person to jump right into something and be like: Oh gurl/boy remember my cousin john? He got drafted into the NBA, or did you know that I moved 3 times since Jan? You make small talk with that person, then you get into the heavy stuff. I have this good friend that I love dearly, my family and her family called us *partners in crime*. I can tell you stuff we did, that I wouldnt reminse with her about. We were off the hook back in our days. So when I saw her again, we made small talk and how this person did and that person doing, then shoo after a while we got into the heavy stuff. LOL I mean stuff so heavy I was like dang!!!! FOR REAL? LOL Im a Virgo as it is, Im very very private. My circle is small. I have to make sure you are good peeps before I start empying my head out. Im just not like that. Let me feel you first. Let me work on milk with you, then we can go to the meat. Im not going to skip the bottle!!!! LOL

Im seriously thinking about starting back up a Womens Group, because a lot of my friends are going through with theit boyfriends, they are trying to make it out here and its hard. I want them into my house where I can teach them that you can be happy single and loving the Lord. They dont see the reason why they are not being blessed its because they are laying up with their boyfriends, having sex, getting drunk and all this other stuff. They always want to talk to me. I love it too because I will share my testimony at the drop of a hat. God put an end to my foolishness early * in a book Im writing*, and for anybody who knows its ME! I have held so many get togethers and people loved them. Im seriously thinking about it. Im going to pray on that one.

Well, Im on my way to bed, gotta get up in a few hours for work. Im going to have a good day too. I mean that. Talk to you all later.

Cree!

Wow

Hey,

I havent been over to this site in a long time. I miss being over here, maybe I should blog in both spots. I dont even check my messages. what a bad gurl.

Well, my friend came back into the picture. He hurt me again and dipped on me. I just don\’t know what to say. If I tell him what God told me he may deny it. Then If I just dont say anything, he\’ll say * I gotta go*. Well, I know what I know and thats it. When God told me to get up and walk into my office, I had no idea what I was about to see. LOL I\’ll never forget that day.

I\’d give anything to have a conversation where we can trust each other. Not tit for tat either. In everything he says he just believes that he\’s so *sure* about everything. Sometimes I just want to come through the computer on him and pinch him.

But you know…….one day I will get a chance to say what I want to say without feeling that Im being * noisy* or talking about the same *person*.

This is too serious to me. I love to laugh and talk smack!!! LOL I tell you this has truly humbled me. I can go on and on but I wont.

Take care …………. Mr. Chicken and Fries

Lord knows I miss my friend.

Have anyone ever had a friend that just disappeared into cyber space? Well, I have a friend that I love dearly. He knows this too. Its been a year, and I know you have been thinking about me, and I have been thinking about you too. Why are you gone away from me so long? I know I said somethings that I shouldnt said, and Im so sorry. Please forgive me. There is sooooooooooooooooooooo much that I want to share with you in email, and its killing me that I can\’t talk to you to get it out. Just trust me, I am your friend. I miss you. I know youre busy doing your thang, and I won\’t bug you. I just need to talk to you. God knows I miss your friendship. I do. I hope to hear from you soon

Cracking “JEALOUSY” ugly head to the white meat!

God has a way of reveling things to us. A few days I posted an entry about haters. I didn’t go into what I wanted to share at that time, but today I will. I’m still feeling a little uncomfortable about the subject matter, but you know what, it has to be written. So here it is.

I really dislike the word jealous and envy. When I hear people say, “she’s just jealous”. I would say to them or to myself, she’s not jealous maybe she’s…….”just mad”. All my adult life, anyone I meet would have “Perfect Credit” with me. That means that if we meet , you would have perfect credit and no matter what you did in the past, me and you were starting off on good terms. For example: If I was introduced to someone and they had robbed a bank, killed 10 people, burned down 50 houses, I felt that what they did in the past is the past, and this was an opportunity to show them God. I would shake their hands and we were cool!

That’s how I am. But you know what? There are so many haters out there that really don’t want to see you with nothing!!! They don’t want to see you get no where, because they aren’t trying to go anywhere. They want you to stay on the same level as themselves. If they feel that they are in a box, then they want you beside them. If they think one way, they want you to think that way too. People always have something to say about a situation that they SWEAR they never be in, but as soon as you’re in it, they have something to say about it.

Yesterday, I was reading the new Essence with Usher and his new beautiful wife Tameka on the cover. Usher is so hurt by all the rumors about his wife and why the wedding was called off. It hurt him deeply, and many of them came from his own fans. Why can’t they be happy for him? I don’t care what her past was like, I don’t care what she did. I don’t care about his past relationships and how they turned out. The bottom line is ……………they are happy. Let these people live their lifes. So what about whatever. Let these people LIVE!!!! If his mother has issues, so let them work it out. He loves his new wife, she was and has been his best friend for years. They knew each other. I just can’t think of anything negative to say from all that is written. How can you not want to see him happy?

I’ll tell you why? Because people don’t look to God anymore when it comes to marriages being blessed, you being happy, being blessed with moving on, a nice home, nice car, new job. People look at YOUR situation as YOUR OWN DOING. The people who look at your situation as YOUR DOING, they don’t look to God, and so that’s where the jealousy comes in at. Because they feel that if YOU did they can get it too. But the truth is God did it for me. Not me for myself. People don’t know how to approach God and have a relationship with him. As long as they can look at you as the person who is responsible for YOUR success, then YOU are the person they are jealous of. Example: If someone ask you if they can see your iPOD, and you say, this is not mines, its such and such. Well, instead of getting mad at such and such ( that person who owns the iPOD) they are mad at you for having it. They are jealous of you for listening to music, they are jealous at you because you are in a whole nother world than they are right now. That’s jealousy!!!!! Why is this person not mad at the person WHO OWNS IT? Why? Because it looks dumb! Why would someone get mad at God because of you owing the Ipod? They are mad at the person who has it, because they feel that THEY are the ones who own it. God owns everything. If anything you are jealous of me about, don’t get mad at me, talk to God about it.

See when people look at the success of others, they feel that they can do the same thing. They feel well hey if such and such did it, we can too. And thats true, you can do all things through Christ. But did God say this was for you? HUH? Did he say you will be married in this life time? Did he say that since you want a baby so bad that you would have one? How about he wanted you to adopt a child , love the child, raise the child and send the child out in the world. How about God didn’t want you to be a singer, he wanted you to be a seamstress? How about God didn’t want you to be a teacher, he wanted to you to be a doctor. How about God didn’t want you to have a 2008 Grand Prix, he wanted you to have a 2007 KIA? Look to God for everything! Conversation, love, guidance, peace, understanding, mercy, kindness, patience. Everything. Stop looking at the people. We don’t own nothing. Look to God!! When you look at the people, you miss the point.

I’m the oldest of 4, and for as long as I can remember, I always wanted to drive a truck. I love them. But I drive a 1989 Red 2 door Lumina. Am I jealous because my siblings all drive a truck? NOPE. Cause I know where my help comes from. I know that I’m next in line. I know that if its the Lord’s will I will drive one too. I believe with all my heart that mines is coming soon. I feel it, I know it. God is the one who I go to when I need to talk. God is the one I go to when I want to ask him again……………………..daddy when is my truck coming? LOL I’m not jealous of my sisters and brother because GOD blessed them with what I want. That’s crazy. They didn’t get the truck on their own. God had to AMEN that. Mines in not AMEN yet. I understand that. I get it. I don’t mind waiting. I’m ok with that, its cool for me. I’m straight. And check this out. I have my name on my license plate……..sho do. People wonder why would you get your name on your plate and you drive a 1989 Lumina? Well, I’m getting ready for my break thru. I’m getting myself in position for when God does bless me with my truck. I wont have to say………… OK now I’m going to go get a license plate with my name on it……….. I’ll already have it!!!!! 🙂

People we have got to stop “hating” on each other. We have got to stop being jealous of each other. Remember this. What God has for you, is for you

SHAKE THE HATERS OFF

The Hater Anthem!!

*ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE*

SHAKE THE HATERS OFF!

A hater is someone that is jealous and envious and spends all their time trying to make you look small so they can look tall.
They are very negative people.

Nothing is ever good enough!

When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters…

That’s why you have to be careful who you share your blessings and your dreams with because some folk can’t handle seeing you blessed…

It’s dangerous to be like somebody else…
If God wanted you to be like somebody else. He would have given you what He gave them.

You don’t know what people have gone through to get what they have…

The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory,
but they don’t know my story…

If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you can rest assured that the water bill is higher there too.

We’ve all got some haters among us:
Some people don’t like it that you
can:

* Have a relationship with God

* Light up a room when you walk in

* Start your ow n business

* Tell a man/woman to get lost
(if he/she ain’t about the right thing)

* Raise children without both parents being around

* And not ask for a dime from Anyone

* Haters don’t want to see you happy

* Haters don’t want to see you succeed

* Haters don’t want you to get the victory

Most of our haters are people that are supposed to be on our side. How do you handle the haters who you at least expect to have your guard up against?

You can handle your haters by:

1. *Knowing who you are & who your true friends are *
(VERY IMPORTANT!!). 2. *Having a purpose to your life *

3. *By remembering what you have is by divine prerogative and not human manipulation.*

Purpose does not mean having a job.

You can have a job and still be unfulfilled.

A purpose is having a clear sense of what
God has called you to be.

Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.

Fulfill your dreams!

You only have one life to live…………….
when its your time to leave this earth,
you want to be able to say,

I’ve lived my life and fulfilled my dreams, ……….
I’m ready to go

HOME!

When God gives you a favor, you can tell your haters,
“Don’t look at me…

Look at who is in charge of me…”

Watch out for Haters……………………….BUT most of all don’t

become a HATER yourself!

A man’s (moral) self shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth:
and with the consequence of his words he must be satisfied whether good or evil.
Proverbs 18:20(AMP)

My Why did I get Married â€¦â€¦â€¦.REVIEW!

I\’m touched by WDIGM because I can really relate to the part played by Janet ( Patty). Thinking about it makes me cry a little because after watching her I feel like I act like a \”Perfect Patty\”. Tyler, it\’s not a day that goes by that a friend calls me and need some advice and uplifting .I sit for hours and hours on my off days talking and praying for my friends. I don\’t think that you could even begin to comprehend to the degree in which I\’m talking about. I still have my mothers deep secrets buried inside me. LOL.. Patricia\’s part had me thinking about a lot of things. I have friends, hand picked by God at that ( the best) and no matter what if I call them to see how they are doing and to talk, it always up end in what\’s going on with them. Do I mind? Naw, not anymore, guess its not about me. Just like Patty I don\’t talk about what\’s going on with me all the time, I just negotiate with myself or talk it out with God. But I realize that I do need to talk, its just that I do all the listening all the time, I neglect myself. That\’s why I write a lot, that\’s why I think a lot, that\’s why I make a lot of good decisions because I am a good listener, and I learn from others.
I really enjoyed the scene where Angela, and your wife Dianne went up to see her at her job and wanted to talk. LOL That was so funny to me because my friends do the same thing!!!!!!! Just last night OMG, this guy that I know, he likes me, but he has a gurlfriend. He came through my line and started talking about his gurlfriend, and he went on and on and on, but it was cool, because I know that he needed someone to talk with. And like you said, you even forget Patricia was even Janet. For some reason I saw Lacrease. So now I see how I look to my friends when they need me to listen. I love how she broke down, her husband cried with her, and HE UNDERSTOOD, all he needed was for her to admit she was hurting and for once let go of \”Perfect Patti\”. Oh I cried, Oh goodness I cried. To be honest, she was my favorite character in the whole movie. Maybe its because she broke down, something I need to do……….you know? I just wish I had a friend like her. ( just learned something new about myself)
Maybe that\’s why I ask a lot of questions, because I\’m so use to talking to people and helping them get to the root of their issues. Its a mold that\’s hard to break. Oh and the exercises she gave…………..THAT IS SO LACREASE!! LOL
And…………………..
I see Angela in me a WHOLE LOT!!!!. I Just like to tell the truth, I don\’t have time for guessing, playing, negotiating, back and forth, bickering, I\’m straight to the point, lets move on to another topic………………kinda person! That\’s why I LOVED her part. She told it like it was, she didn\’t hold nothing back. I didn\’t like the way she talked to her husband. BUT IM GLAD YOU WROTE THAT, CAUSE A LOT OF WOMEN NEEDED TO SEE THEMSELVES ON THE SCREEN. YOU DID A GREAT JOB ON WRITING ALL OF HER LINES. Angela was so funny, I loved her part .I don\’t think that I would bust out my best friend in front of everybody…………..but then again hey, you never know the situation. If I ever see my best friend\’s husband out creeping on her. I would go to him and say this: (name) me and you WE COOL, but what you doing to my gurl………………..is foul. If you don\’t go to her and tell her that you are out with someone by the end of the week…………I\’ll call her and tell her myself. Here\’s the deal……………… Im not going to sit here and watch you laugh, ha ha and he he~ing , and being a grinning mc milling all up in her face, cause your being fake. My spirit won\’t rest, my conversations wont be authentic, my facial features wont be the same, when I know that you are messing around on my gurl. Whew, lol I hope that I wont never see anything like this in my life. That\’s scary!!!
I loved Sheila\’s part. The strength she gathered…………………….was amazing. I loved how she didn\’t tell her friends where she was, AND THEY RESPECTED THAT (something I would do) but she called to check up on her friends, they loved her, and appreciated her. And when she showed up at Patricia\’s ceremony, she had a lot to talk about with her gurls, ( LOVED THAT PART), she cried with them (LOVED THAT PART), she shared the details of her wedding with her gurls ( LOVED THAT PART), she even had a few words, carefully chosen, confident, self assured words for her EXBESTFRIEND ( LOVED AND ADORED THAT PART).
Your wife Dianne OOOOOOOOOOO TYLER, you gave her a test out of this world. I had a feeling that you were playing about the baby, then you said twins, I thought that I was going to pass out in the movie. LOL When she said yes, I watched her facial expression and she seemed sincere, so when you told her that you were playing about the babies, I know IF I WAS YOUR WIFE AND THIS WAS MY SITUATION, I WOULD HAVE BEEN SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT YOU DIDNT MEAN THAT ABOUT THE TWINS, and from then on, I would be soooooooo good to you!! So good. You won\’t have to worry about me acting up again. Selfish is right on the money. She was being selfish, I think in a relationship you can get so caught up in your spouse life, till you neglect your own, but if you go out too far, you can lose the one you love. I\’m glad that YOU ( terry) made a decision to move out, so that she could face her issue soon, cause once a person is so gone with being selfish, they may not come back. Well written Tyler.
This was my favorite movie EVER of yours. I have seen it 3 times, and the next time I go it will be a SOLO! It was so fun listening in on the conversations that the men had. Things that we women don\’t think men care about, they talked about. I just hope women see that and \”GET IT\”. Sometimes we sabotage our relationship with our men, because we \”THINK\” that you all dont think or talk about it., We think that we are the only ones who care. I see that first hand its not true. Men think about us and our situations just like we do. And yall had me cracking up!!!!!!!!!!! Tyler you are sooo silly, every time you would laugh I would too, cause something you were sneaking in and saying, GEEKING UP STUFF AND INSTAGATING! LOL VIRGOS DO HOOK UP PEOPLE, START STUFF AND INSTAGATE ( ONLY IN FUN THO) CAUSE WE LOVE TO LAUGH.
All the men were FIONE! Especially you, Tyler you looked so good to me when you had on the brown and tan hat, as you leaned over to your wife, after all the mess had went down. You are so attentive. I love that about you. And please boo, don\’t be trying to lose weight, cant stand no skinny man!!! Especially being as tall as you are. I love the thinner mustache on you, keep that!!! Heck, you fine period!!! I watched you so closely in this movie, I probably can tell you how many lines are under your eyes. LOL ( just playing).
Tyler, in this one scene when Marcus and Angela had pulled up his his baby momma\’s house ( I use to be JUST L IKE THAT BABY MOMMA WHEWWWWWWWWWWW WE)
Marcus was telling them off , he started sounding like Spawn. It was so funny. I watched that movie so much that if they wanted to do a remake, I would know all the parts……no rehearsal.His voice made me think about Spawn. You chose the perfect person Richard ) to play the part he played, cause he pulled the dinner scene part off!!! Check mate! And he was looking good!!!! Malik~ GAVIN, I loved his part, but what I loved most is. The way he supported Janet in her role. He made her look so good. They looked so loving, all what was missing was the communication. I can see them as a real couple. They looked GOOD TOGETHER!! Great job Tyler!!
OK, I have one question for you about the movie. Baby, what is the name of that sexy, slow song that was playing after Angela jumped in the car from getting the kids, and it kept playing till your wife got in the house to ask you to come home? What is the name of that song, I gotta know. It is so pretty. It didn\’t have words, just music. Is there anyway I can find out? Email me? Please.
I saw the Tyler Perry and Janet Jackson AOL questionnaire. Why did you look at my name so funny when it came up n the screen. Was it the City THEY put on there? I forgot to leave my city so they said that I was from ATL. You had this look on your face, as if to say, dang now I know she\’s from my message board, but why does it say ATL. Well anyway that was me. Janet said my name with no problem!! Tyler IM GETTING YOU! LOL
One more thing, I saw the Tyler Perry Janet Jackson interview the same day it aired. I was sitting in my car listening to you on The Michael Basden Show, when you mentioned it. After you went off air I googled it and I was HORRIFED, ANGRY, AND GOT AN INSTANT HEADACHE watching how ignorant this men, and his \”Cromies\” were acting.The lady was even laughing and snickering in the back ground ( I wanted to shake her inside organs out of place), not hurt her not kill her, but shake her up lol. Anyway, I was out raged!! I was on this computer writing them the next day before you even mentioned it. I was HOTT! I wrote both him and his boss. I wasn\’t gonna let that ride………..UM UMMMMMM. But you know Tyler, they see now that we are a force NOT to be TOYED with. They know to the 1000th power that we are not playing. See when you went to support the Jena 6, never knew that one day you would need someone to stand up for you. Well, I\’m here to say, we are here to stay, we love you, and when you have God as your Leader, and PLANT MANAGER IN CHARGE…………BABY YOU GOT EVERYTHING!
I\’M OUTTA HERE TYLER! LOL I\’m going to run some errands cause I\’m going to a wedding and reception tomorrow!! Yep, a wedding!
Listen boo, I love you, May God keep you and bless you to go HIGHER, JUST KNOW that if you say the word……………. WE ARE THERE!!!
Your gurl

Pearls of Wisdom

Train a child!

Today, I want to write about parents taking charge in the home when it comes to chorus and home work.
First before I go into all of this, just know that I love kids to death. They fascinate me, they make me want to learn more about how they think and how they come to the conclusions that they come too. Yeah, I was a child once, but while you’re busy being just that, you don’t’ have time to reflect on how it is. Maybe that’s why I love kids so much, because not once have I forgotten how I use to be.
Tonight I was on the phone talking to my Sister gurl, and we were talking about children and how unorganized they can be, when WE as parents don’t push them to clean up behind themselves, do home work in a timely fashion, and house work.
Me, I use to be the junkiest person in the world!!! Who would leave stuff all over the floor, tables, stoves, counter, bedroom floor, even the bathroom was junkie and nasty. And when I tell this story they cant believe it. Those who knew me during those times can tell you in 60 seconds, how true it is. I remember being so nasty living in a 4 family flat, I caused the whole building to have to get exterminated, and the people who did it, said they had never in their life seen so many roaches in ONE HOUSE!!!
I was embarrassed!! They talked about me, saying I was the reason why they had to get exterminated, roaches came from me being nasty. All they did was told the truth, but the truth has a way of shaming us sometimes to face up and get right!!! And I’m glad it did.
That was 13 years ago, and the friends I have now, wont beleive that roach story if I had 10 witnesses to back me up. Ive changed. Thank you Jesus.
What I learned was: I was junky and so was my daughter, we would come home from work or school and drop our things right there at the door or kitchen table. We didnt have a clue to what we were doing, we just did it. We didnt focus on the fact that we were creating our own mess to clean up later. We would be “so tired” that we plopped down wherever we sat and didnt move unless we had to use the bathroom, get something to eat, or reach for the remote control. When we finished eating, our plate would be on the living room table, so would our glass and cups. We would sit there until I got tired of looking at the dishes pile up, the bathroom got funky, the stove got nasty, and the table got junky. Then I would get mad at Neisha for “help messing up” the house.
But see I didnt realize that I was the Leader of the house. If she saw me come in and kick my shoes off, then she is going to do the same thing. If she see that my plate is not in the sink, why should she put hers there? If she noticed that I throw my coat across the dining room table she’s going to do the very same thing. So I had to REPROGAM my thinking. I had to pay atention to what I did when I walked into my house. I had to start paying attention to what she does when she walks into the house. I can tell you right now what I do. I walk in, take my shoes off at the door ( from the side door), walk up the stairs and then I think about throwing my coat over the chair in the kitchen, but then I go to my office and put it there, or in my bedroom.
We have to be VERY attentive to our children when we are working on a certain area in their lives. Pay attention to everything they do when they walk into the home. When they start putting things everywhere, go head and watch them. dont say a word. And as soon as they sit down, you call them to that area. Say this: Let me ask you a question? Where are your shoes? And then they will tell you, ask them, where are they suppose to be? Ask them where is your coat? Why is it there? Ask them do they know where its suppose to go? Ask them where? Ask them where is your back pack? Why is it on the floor? Where is suppose to be? GIVE THEM EYE CONTACT, DONT EVEN BLINK IFA FLY COMES PASS YOUR NOSE!!! LOL
Pay attention to them everyday and how they do things when they come home from anywhere. Pay attention. The way to introduce this new way of keeping the house clean is to sit them down the night before. Tell them that its going to be some changes made about how we keep our home cleaned. Explain the rules, and tell them that you will be watching every thing that they do as far as cleaning up the house, home work, and how much TV they watch. Tell them that you will be watching them from the time they come in, till the time they go to bed.
Then you test them on it, after several weeks they will get the hint that you mean business. But remember YOU THE PARENT, you are the LEADER, SET THE EXAMPLE!!! Don’t say another word, dont talk about it, be about it!!
The bible says: 6 Train [a] a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not turn from it.
