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.

How much would you pay to go to the moon?

I know for a fact I wouldn’t go for FREE. 🤣🤣🤣

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?

Love

Practice loving on people now, so that when we’re in Heaven it will feel familiar.

What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?

To work on being consistent!!!! What a job!

Making money from WordPress

So, I was wondering how much does people make monthly from YouTube. Then I wondered about WordPress. I watched a few videos and I just can’t see it happening. But when I thought about it, maybe it is profitable.

I know that you have to be consistent, something that I’m working on. Trying to blog at least 3 times a week could be easy because I really have a lot to say. I feel like I need a few days to write them out ahead of time and get a 3 week jump start . Help!

If you’re making money from WordPress tell me how long did it take and what is your schedule like to post often.

One question. What is your highest month payment?

Simone Biles / Short Stories

It’s well-known that Simone Biles was raised away from her mother due to her mother’s struggle with drug addiction. In a recent interview, her mother was questioned about having Simone’s contact number. She confirmed she did but chose not to initiate contact, opting to wait for Simone to reach out when ready. This decision was met with criticism by some, given that her mother’s addiction was the cause of their estrangement. Nonetheless, I Pray, Simone reaches out to her mother. It’s my wish that she finds it in her heart to forgive and inquire about her mother’s life and the battles she faced that led to drug dependency.

I understand that our parents have their own challenges, some of which they never overcome. Perhaps they lack strength or a supportive network. These challenges can drive a wedge between us and our loved ones. By making an effort to comprehend their upbringing, we might start to grasp their choices. While we may not concur, their experiences remain their truth. I hope that in having this dialogue, Simone and her mother can start healing and forge a strong mother-daughter bond.

Reading the Bible at 14/Short Stories

At 14, I started reading the Bible for myself. My mom would take us to church on Sundays, and that’s what made me want to know Jesus personally. I was often punished for bad grades and not doing my chores. That’s how I had the time to read the Bible because reading was something I loved to do anyway. I remember reading and saying to myself that all I had to do was be good, be nice, repent, and I would make it to heaven. I had parents who loved me and told us every day. We weren’t allowed to fight as siblings; anytime we got into an argument, we had to kiss and make up on the spot, which we hated. But now, as adults, we argue but have never had a fight with each other, and we love that. We had the best friends growing up. We never fought them either. It’s amazing that we all are friends to this day.

As the years went on, I read my Bible daily, sometimes all day. The stories interested me. There are scriptures that really stood out to me when I moved out of my parents’ home into my own place. I thought that everyone in their homes respected and loved their parents. I truly got the shock of my life when I found out that not everyone lived like us. We respected our parents, and even though we didn’t always agree with them, we loved them.

 

  1. Exodus 20:12: “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.”
  2. Ephesians 6:2-3: “Honor your father and mother—which is the first commandment with a promise—so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”
  3. Proverbs 1:8: “Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.”
  4. Colossians 3:20: “Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.”

I once believed that everyone knew and believed in Jesus. I assumed all were practicing kindness to enter Heaven. I thought people always told their friends they loved them and remained loyal. I believed that those who loved each other would preserve their friendship. But no, I’ve learned that everyone has their own motives, and that those who are hurt often hurt others. As for me, I will continue to love people because that’s my calling.

Hebrews 10:24 

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
