Thank you Lord for another day. Another day for having my arms, legs, feet, hands, lips, teeth, toes etc. Thank you I see what you have done for me and I appreciate it.

Where do I start? Men be cracking me up. Let me just say that. This evening I let this guy who I met at my job ( a customer) come over to visit me. He is very tall 6’7 thick, dark, handsome brother who graduated from Central Michigan University with a BA. I mean this guy has got it going on. I am an addict for tall men okay?? Tyler Perry where are you? For real tho. I love a man with a big stomach, goatee, and pretty teeth. I tell my friends all the time, when I get a man and he his a big stomach, if he lose his stomach IM DISSING HIM! Flat out. He gots to roll up out! ( Not for real, but its something that he must have)

 

N. E. WAYSSSSSSSSSSS ( rolling my eyes) I let him come over, and by him being so tall and dark and thick, his whole atmosphere just did something to me when he walked through that door smelling so good. He didnt know it, but I did. Well, we sat down and watch the Pistons beat Orlando………we are 25-4 YEAHHHHHHHA YEAHHHHHHHA.

So we sat there watched the game he cracked some nuts and we talked and laughed a little bit. Well, before he came over last night we were having a conversation about his ex gurlfriend who upped and left him 2 years ago, and recently she called him from NY and said that she wanted to see him and talk to him. He let her come here last week and he bought her to  my job and I met her. She wants to rekindle the relationship but he is skeptical because she up and left him for another man. Well, we talked about that subject for a long time last night. She will be back next month maybe for good. Well, tonight that was on my mind. I am attracted to him and all, but I cannot put my self in a situation where I know that he wants to get back with her, so the best thing for me to do is be his friend and not to take it any further.

When he came over tonight, it seemed to me that he wanted to have sex. So my thing is okay, what is it about me that you feel that you can initiate  this? I mean I didn’t sit near you, I didn’t touch you, what is  it about me that makes you feel that you can say okay WHATS UP? I just dont get that, and he just dont know that turned me off. It dont take much to turn CREDOG off especially in the early stages of a friendship. He gave me his number a long time ago, and I wanted to call him but I didnt. I like him and everything , but he cant be coming on me like that.

 

Do men respect women who sleep with them in the first night? Do they try women to see where their head is at? I cant wait to see what happens next. This is why Im forming a teens group to talk to young gurls about everyyyyyyyyythang their moms can’t. I mean for real, cause had that me back in the day and he was over, it would have been on and poppin for real. There would have been no way I would have said NO~ TO A MAN WHO FITS THE PERFECT DESCRIPTION OF MY DREAM HUSBAND. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAYYYYYYYY he WOULD HAVE LEFT WITH A PART OF ME. roflllll

 

But Lorddddddddddddddd, whewwwwwww had it been for what Ive been through. For the wisdom and knowledge you have blessed me with, your daughter would have been good as got. tonight. FOR REAL.!!!!!!!!!

OK YALL I GOTTA GO THINK. THIS IS NOT A GOOD NIGHT FOR ME IN THIS DEPARTMENT. Im not having regrets at all, but its just that fact that this brother is fine, good conversation, good job, everything going on.

Oh did I mention that he is 26 and Im……………….well 38???

SEE YA LATER

Thank you Lord, for letting me see another year! Thank you Lord, you are on my side.  

 

 I know I didn\’t go to Church tonight, but I did spend  New Year\’s with my family. We went over to Darah\’s beautiful lovely home. Oh Lord Jesus I have seen what you can do for me through her home tonight. Lord, Lord, Lord. What a blessing! See that\’s what Im talking about. You keep on showing me all these beautiful things that prayer can bring. Things that I would love and enjoy. Tomorrow I am getting up and Im doing some cleaning in my house. I Thank you for my house, its beautiful too. I know I can stand to be more creative, and Im going to work on that. But Thanks for giving me that ump I needed by seeing her home.  

 

 Work was okay tonight. I went in from 4-8 we closed at 8. Some employees were saying that we had to stay a little after 8 to get the customers out of the store. Guess you know I was at the time clock at 8:01. I feel that if Im schedule till 8, then I leave at 8. I don\’t care how many people are in the store. I had plans, and I made sure I got to them too. If the store managers made sure their jobs were done ,then we can get out of the store at 8. But when you have so many \”plant managers\” pointing their fingers, and supervising, not help getting the job done, then I feel that\’s their fault. I did what I came to do, and then I was out!  

 

  • The first thing I want to work on for this year. Is my tithing. This is very serious to me. God will get his off top, first, its going to be counted just as I do my light and gas bill, my rent and phone. I know its going to be challenging in the beginning, but its okay, cause I have to do it. I have too. I have too.

 

  • Secondly, I have to join a weight support group. I am going to WW on Tuesday, to see what\’s up with a meeting and a plan. This is very important to me.

 

  • Finally, I want to be more mindful of the small things in life. Such as calling a friend/returning phone calls, sending and remembering family and friends BD\’s and being creative in what I do for them. This is something I have to do for myself. I want to be mindful in keeping a clean car, and neat atmosphere in my computer room and desk areas, bed room and entire house. I will be more mindful in those things this year.

 

  Last night I had a dream that I met Tyler Perry. He was so sweet, he looked different, but had that same personality. I even asked him did he know Pearls of Wisdom from his message board, and he was like yesssssss, which one are you?  I said Im  Lacrease. He hugged me and I was so geeked. Then I asked him was this his name *** from the message board and he bust out laughing, saying yessssss thats me. I was so geeked. So somehow Phyllis came in the room, and I whispered in her ear (I was talking loud tho, I remember that) I said Phyllis he said that is his initials, and email address. We laughed and that was it. I pray that I meet him this year. I met Anita Baker, and Gerald Levert last year 2005, and took pictures with them both! Yes both, and now Tyler is the last one on my list to meet. And when we do meet we are going to become friends. I mean real real real good friends, watch and see.  I can feel it, deep down in my soul. Remember I said it first, right here on this blog. Lacrease and Tyler Perry and going to be very close friends for life~!  

 

 Well, Im closing for now, I want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year, and if you haven\’t already, please find God. He is so nice and so friendly, he wants to build a relationship with you. So please if you are reading this blog, remember that from me, to make this year the year you bond with him.

  God Bless You

Then when I got grown, I started making wrong decisions, and bad choices. Then one day I will never forget Lord, what you said……… Lacrease, you are grown, but you still have to answer to me.\”

What goes around………………..yelp you guessed it……………..comes around!

Today, I have got to say God has been good to me. See I try to learn lessons from the situation that I find myself in. And then I just laugh at God ( in a good way) cause he is always behind something that concerns me. That’s why I love him so much. When I say he looks after me……………… I mean that. He loves me, and the more he loves me, the more I love me. And the more I want what’s best for me, and so does he.

 

At work, I was the door greeter for the night. And before I started working in Walmart, I would go in Circuit City, Kmart, and act a straight fool on the door greeter if they ask for my receipt. I would put on my clown suit at the register, and cut up when it was time to leave out of the store.

But tonight I…………………. was the door greeter.

This black guy well dressed, older maybe in his 50’s with his wife and some other guy, was leaving the building as I said to him…may I see your receipt please? I can tell from the look on his wife face, that her husband was about to nut up on me. She was reading me and I was reading her, but I was focused on him because he had the receipt so I ………looked at him like “run dat receipt”. He got sooooooooo upset, OMGGGGG he looked at me and wanted to go off, but instead of going off he said “you cant see what’s in my bags if Im stealing, you still can’t see what I got if I show you the receipt.” In just that little time he made me mad.

 

So before anything flared up…………….. God told me to sing. I broke out with my famous one word song…………………..JEEEEEEEEEESUSSSSSSSSS! He looked at me like I was crazy, ……..like where did that come from??? They all looked at me, and I said its better for me to sing Jesssssssssus then to let my flesh rise up. Do you know THAT MAN turned around and looked at me like I was one of his kids, who had just talked back to him? So I was looking at him like yeah I said it………… I started singing again Jeeeesusssssssssss. He stared at me, and then walked out of the door.

 

I had to walk away, because see God knows what calms me down. Thats why you have to have a relationship with God these days. Because Lacrease wanted to get with him, but God who lives inside of me don’t want me to be disrespectful. He dont want me saying anything I want. I had to walk away and say God help me, please God, I even asked him why he dont let me get with some of these people that say what they want to me. Why can’t I get them Lord? Please just let me get them one good time? But after about 2 mintues he brings me back down to reality that it just aint go happen. And once he let me cool down today, I laughed cause its so funny to me. Cause you know its God when you let him calm you down and you cant even see him. I dont always need to go to somebody and need calming down, cause God will be like..you need me Crease? You need to talk? You need some time out? lollll

But you know it goes to show you how you cant treat people any ole way. You have to be mindful that one day its them, but tomorrow it can be you~ My Pastor Edgar Vann

 

Matthew 26:41 (King James Version)

41Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

A Wonderful Change!

Hey!

     Went to work today, got off early, wasnt feeling to well, went to bed and now Im up all night! lol Im off tomorrow so thats cool. Im happy about it.

I am so ready for this new year. I am ready to tithe seriously. I know its going to be hard at first, but I am going to do it. I feel the easiest thing to do is count it in with my bills biweekly. Im going to look at it as a regualr bill. I feel I can pay my bills and not get shut offs, then I know I can pay my tithes.

Weight Watchers sent me an invite to rejoin! Is that confirmation or what? I can pay $19.00 on my first visit and meeting before Feb. Or I can pay $169.00 for 16 weeks. I have to go up there to see what really is going on as far as how as that goes. I am so serious about this. Like I said I am going out of town, I am hoping to meet Tyler Perry , and I have to be looking good. ROFL. So RIGHT NOW thats whats on my heart.

I need to start budging my money better. Im too old to blow money the way I do. My daughter can save and spend money so wisely. She didnt get it from me. I am so proud of her too. She needs to show me for real. For Christmas I got $150.00 and ask me how much is left? I dont even want to talk about it. lolllll Lord, help me. I do have over $75.00 so Im going to really use that wisely.

Im going to get off this blog and get started on some serious ministry for real. Its about to be new year and I need to get it together. Im excited about the things that I am going to be doing. So let me get started on  my research.

 

God Bless You All

Tired

Tired

Christmas was great this year. Went over to my sisters house with all my family, we had dinner we exchanged gifts at my house, and had so much fun being together.

That was yesterday. This morning Im feeling depressed. Guess you cant have all good days. I was reading some of the stories on pandora’s site and it just make me think about me when I was 17 years old. I have thoughts of him coming through my line when he gets out of jail and smiling at me, trying to be my friend as if nothing happened. Im so dumb sometimes. All I want to do is  be nice, but something inside me keeps my guards up. I feel as if Im running sometimes, and Im tired. I want to let me guard down and live. Be happy.

Went over to Gloria’s for Christmas her cousin was there, he like me years ago. We made eye contact tonight, perfect conversation. Being a Lions ticket season holder for 15 years and offering me to go with him next season, for some reason I wanted to say okay and really mean it. Got up to fix me a plate, for some reason I wanted to reach over and kiss him, felt that he needed a kiss as we talked. For some reason it felt right, it felt as he was there to “save me”. His conversations soothe me, the talk of football my favorite sport made me feel connected. Got up to make me a plate, he hinted that he wanted some too. I asked him did he want me to make  him a plate, I did. And it felt good, like we were together. Felt like right. Felt like I was “a wife” not necessarily “his wife” but I had a wifish feeling.Handed it to him, and after wards handed him some foil to wrap some take home food. For a while now, never have I wanted to be of help to a man, unless he was MY man. But it was something different about him, maybe it was me. Yeah it was me.  Does it matter that he is about 15 years older than I. Naw it didn’t matter, because it felt good tonight, felt like right. As I left I rub his back, nice stomach, nice dressed, nice house,  he’s a mason may I add, owns his own boat, takes many trips, single, with grown kids. He don’t have a clue to how his presence made me feel like “more than a woman”. he have no idea that’s what I needed today. So I say thank you. I’ll see you again.

When will the day come for me to show “them” how its done. To fix my husbands plate, and watching his appreciation on his face. When will he come sweep me off my feet and say………….lets take a trip for 2 weeks to Florida. Lets fly to Vegas. Lets book a cruise. Look what I have bought you. Wear this for me. I know that time will come. But how much longer will I have to watch my sisters and their husband/boyfriend play and whisper to each other. How long will I have to look across the table and see them peaking on the lips, stopping only because they feel guilty. When will I stop feeling funny when I’m the only person who is not with someone? When will I be able to climb in the passenger seat, while my husband drive me to and fro? When can I say “ok gurl let me call you back my husband is here”? I hate hearing, so who is your friend? When will the time come when my husband calls me, and tells everyone in the back ground Shhhh be quiet my wife is on the phone! Will I ever hear ……..Im hungry what u cook? Guess only God knows. For now, guess Ill work on me. Work on this body of mines. These thoughts of mines too.

Im closing for now, feeling depressed a little, tired of holidays feeling empty. Tired of this computer. Tired, just tired.

2006 COME ON IN!

Thank you Lord, for waking me up this morning. I woke up today and you were the first thing on my mind. You know that because I started praying and was half sleep, that was the best to the point prayer I can ever remember saying. I know you remember what I said, but I don’t really. I dont know why you were on my mind in my sleep. But one day you will tell me.
 
 
I do remember asking you to make sure that I have a good day a work and I did. I was tired and I know I did that lady wrong, but she was so out of order. I did wrong on top of wrong, but Lord for some reason I felt like ( nah) in my mind. Cause she was wrong first. But I know better.
 
 
I know I keep talking about the new year and the things that I plan to change about my life.
 
1. Tithe
2. Appearance ( hair, nails, clothes, body)
3. Weight Lost Program ( join a support group)
4. Better control of my spending
5. Keep my car clean, and my personal space.
 
Those are my top goals for the year of 2006. Its going to be a new year, and Im thinking ahead of time. I have already started saving for my hotel fare for 8 days and 7 nights in ATL. As bad as I wanted to go in it, I wont! I want to save at least $350.00 in quarters, dimes, nickles, pennies, and dollars. Im paying my air fare in Febuary. For spending money, and to rent a car or truck, it will be out of pocket.
 
My top priority jobs for 2006 will be.
1. Layaway a ab rocker
2. Buy that sharp dinette set I want
3. Blog every thing I eat and drink.
 
 
Im on (another sigh……) mission to get this weight off me. This is so serious to me. I am going to meet some people off the site, and we are going to the Mega Fest in ATL. See I have to lose weight. This is not a game, or joke, this is to be taken serious. I can’t explain it any better. When I meet them, I have got to be looking good. I need to lose at least 60 pounds before July 17, 2006. That has to happen. A must. What I plan to do:
 
1. 5 times a week eat subway sandwiches ( lord knows it has helped me since moving in Walmart)
2. Drink water every day, and limit my Pepsi’s and Cokes. There will only be certain times I can be able to drink pop. Period.
3. Pull out my good, good, good excercise in place video and use it, gradually working my way up to complete the tape.
 
Those are my plans to get this weight off. As a matter of fact, Im about to write up a chart and work on it in the next few days.
 
Well Im signing off for now, talk to you later blog.

As Ice Cube say………today was a good day.

Today was a good day at work. Time went fast, lunch went slow, and guess what? We didnt even get our last break.

Its cool through, cause the customers were not acting up today. I didnt work the 12 items or less lane either. The store was tore up. Lord, I am so glad that I get to go home at 10:30 and not stay till 11:00. The last customers were out of the store at 10:40 and the store closes at 10:00 thats how busy we were. I wasnt even tired, just ready to GO! I needed to get  home and be in a new atmsophere.

Thisguy came through my line with his gurlfriend, yesterday he was inthere and kept staring at me until I said hello. He is fione too. Lord Jesus he looks GOULD ( like could). He came through my line today and said you was down there yesterday wasnt you. And Im like yelp, saying to myself, Nick you know I was. He was fine.

Im excited about the new year, Im going to start with some changes for my self. Neisha is in school making a career for herself. She got 2 A\’s and a B on her final grades. She is going to school Spring Semester taking 4 classes. I am so proud of her. She is going to get her Degree in Science. So with all that being said, its time for me…….Ms. Lacrease. Its time for me to start focusing on me. Its time for me to get back in Church, to increase my prayer life, tithe every 2 weeks and give offerings, and to stop dressing likea grandma and start looking \”cute\”. Im tired of my same ole grandma gyms shoes, and my grandma pants, my grand ma outfits period. I also need to learn discipline over my eating and unconscous spending on things that are not necsessary.

I will continue tomorrow .

Customers get on my nerves!

Today , work was off the hook. I am really needing to vent to tell it all. Most times my blog is always happy, and peaceful, but today I need to vent. May I get some of this anger, and laugh out of  me? Can I be human tonight? Thank you
 
It was off the hook today at work, lines was long into softlines, we didnt have many cashiers, and the ones that were on the register were my store manager, Assistant Managers, and CSM’s. So you know it was off the chain. We didnt get our first break till after 3 hours plus of being there, when you are suppose to get a break every 2 hours.
 
People dont want to wait in line any more, especially now being that it is Christmas time, they want to walk in and walk right out. But its not like that. You have to wait just like the person in front of you.
 
Working the 12 items or less lane can get on your nerves. Today I was there for a long time at least 6 hours. People were cutting in line and having more than 12 items. This lady came through my lane today and said to me, “I only have 13 items”, wellllllllllll you aint suppose to be in my line, cause the sign says 12 items or less. OlE heffa. If your total was $12.00 would you give me $13.00? HELL NAW. WELLL THEN…………………………………GET YO AZZ OUTTA MY LINE!
 
That irrates me so bad.
 
Sometimes I can look back at my line and see people with a whole lot of items in their basket, and I would yell out” 12 ITEMS OR LESS PLEASE, THIS IS 12 ITEMS ORRRRRR LESSSSSS. Then you see people counting their items before they get to the counter, and they know doggone well they are over. Then I have to put on my ugly face, and pop my gum real mean. Cause you cant say much to them, cause they will go and tell on you. But when Im right and I know Im right,  I use very few words, so that when they try to tell on me, what can they say? Ahmmmmm Ahmmmmmmmm she was looking ugly in the face, and Ahmmmmmm, Ahmmmm she said 12 items or less, and Ahmmm, she was chewing her gum mean, and Ahmmmmmmm Ahmmmmm.
 
UrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrP stop the press boo, …………. thats all you can say about Cre dog cause she didnt say no more than that!
 
 
Then this other lady had about 1000 plus items and I told her flat out maam this is 12 items or less, then she gon say, well Im up now, I said no you aint, Im still waiting on these people. She kept on talking, I said maammmmmm these are for the people who are in and out, you have way over 12 items. She got mad at  got out of line. So later on after she pays for her things , comes back TO MY LINE and say Ahmmmm ( in my mind Im like ughhhhh what does she want…………. dayumm) THEN SHE SAYS: when I was over there, the cashier rung me up 2 times for this can I just get get another one) I told her GO TO THE SERVICE DESK! Then I yelled out NEXT! I felt that she wanted to irrate me so that she can get me in trouble, I closed that conversation down real quick. People out there want to see you fired.
 
Then this gurl went over to Micheal who was ringing up 12 items or less too alongside with me. She walked up to him and ask him did he know anything about some fish items she was buying, he said no and then she came to me. I was like NAWWWWW I dont know either. So then she looked at it and was like okay then Imma buy this. So I asked her were you in line, and she says YES. So me I dont play, I thought she was in line. I rung her up and soon as I said next, this black guy who was in line go holler out. “YOU LET HER CUT IN FRONT OF US” I looked….I said who me, he said yeaha you. You knew she wasnt in line, and you let her   take cuts. Then I said to him, she wasnt in line? And then about 5 customers in line looked at me real real mean, and said NO SHE TOOK CUTS! I was like what? You mean to tell me that she walked up here and took cuts and YALLLLLLLL DIDNT SAY NOTHING???????? I WAS MADDD . They said she wasnt in line. I told them I didnt know. I said yall are customers, yall should have said something. I was saying everything. I said all yall let her      get in front of yall, AND DIDNT SAY NOTHING LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. I said why you telling me now she GONE! lolllllllllllll  I laughed at the stupid fools. I wanted to tell that guy, “you rather be mad at me and say that  ~~I knew she wasnt in line~ then for you, to admit that she walked up , took cuts, ANDDDDDDDD PAID FOR HER ITEMS ?.”  YALL DUMB ASS HELL!
YOU’S A DAYUM FOOL IF IMMA LET YOU PUT THE BLAME ON ME! YOU GOT CREDOG  ALLLLLLLLLL MESSED UP! NIGGA YOU GOT PLAYED~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOT CRE!
 
Then this other lady came through that same line. She was like a foreigner. She bought a V-tech game, and wanted to know if the other games that goes along that you buy seperatly goes with the game  she bought. So I looked at it and was like “I dont know maam Im not familiar with these games”. She said you don’t know? I said nawwwwwwww. I have a 19 year old, I dont know anything about that maam. So she keeps reversing the  questionse. So Im getting irrated now, cause its like she wants my approval on this toy and I don’t know. You know how they do, she ahmmmmm told me it worked on here”. Naw, Im too smart for that. So I told her no. Well any way I rung her up and then after I gave her the reciept, her smart butt gon say~~~
 
 Sorry you wasnt no help to me. I LOOKED AT HER, AND  SAID NOOOOOOOOOOOO IM SORRY YOU WASNT NO HELP TO YOUR OWN SELF. AND THEN  HOLLERED OUT NEXTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
 
People are a trip. Im going to bed, and getting ready for round 2. Wednesday  before Christmas.
 
All this week is therapy week for  me and stories of these crazy Christmas Customers!
 
Good night

Your purpose in life!

There is something that God is calling you to do. You know it. You’ve always known it. You may not know exactly what it is, or what shape it will ultimately take, but it is unique to you and it is why you were put here on this earth. I don’t think this passion is just handed to us like a gift. I think it is revealed in us over time like an excavation. Everything extra gets chiseled away.   Finding your passion is the singe most important ingredient for changing your world. It’s like yeast in bread–without it you will have flat, hard dough. Uncovering God’s purpose in your life and following it will lead you to the greatest satisfaction there is. When we work out of our God-given passion, we get tired, but not weary. We need rest, but not a change.   Nicole Johnson, Fresh-Brewed Life    

 

I often ask God what am I here to do? Seems as if I know what it is, but some how I am not motivated to get there. I ask myself ……..Lacrease what is it that you like and want to do in life, what is your passion? What do you believe God is leading you to do?   When I think about that questions, seems like the older I get the easier it is to answer. I love working with older people, helping them, talking to them, listening to them. I also love teens talking to them, and asking them questions to prepare them for adult hood. I would like to counselor them, get them support. Then I think about the homeless people, I want to help them, to get them on their feet. Then I think about me being a peacekeeper some kinda way. Someone who mediates.  Im not sure what I want to do in life, but looking at my pattern, I love people.  I enjoy  talking to people, I enjoy listening. I am a true friend.

 

I guess one day  soon God will reveal tome what he wants me to do, and when. I m waiting. I am yours Lord.    

 

 Well, I am going to do some hotel, car, and airplane research. Im excited about going to ATL in July. I pray that we meet Tyler Perry while we are there. That would be a dream come true for real. Well talk to you later.

A relationship with God

Hey  
  
Have anyone just sat up and thought about Pearls of Wisdom and where we are going in 2006? I have been in an online Ministries for almost 5 years and have learned a lot.
  
When I first started with AIMSK~ Am I My Sisters Keeper Ministries, I thought ok we are on line women who chat everyday, and talk on the phone once, or twice every 2 months, but can we really love each other? I mean we say we love each other on the phone when we hang up, and we say it in email, but are we just being kind to each other? Are we just saying what God wants us to say? Are we just “following the Leader” and being polite?
 
Everyday with AIMSK we would chat on line about God, we would have bible study and lots and lots of homework. When someone needed prayer we would stop what we were doing and pray for our sister. We even had a death on the list. It was a hard time for us, but we prayed and we stuck together and we made it through that time. We were chatting on line and on the phone more than we saw our own sisters and family members. We built a relationship even without seeing each other. We made ourselves available no matter what the situation. We were there for each other.
 
August 2001 ~ AIMSK 2nd Conference held in Chicago, Illinois we all met.
 
Meeting my sisters for the very first time was a feeling that I will never forget. The feeling of hugging my sister, crying and laughing at the same time was awesome. That is where I got my answer. That’s when I knew that all that time I spent building a relationship with people I had never seen, is when I knew that I loved them. I knew then that I wasn’t following the Leader, I knew that you can love a person and never ever meet them. That is a testimony I can share.
 
This reminds me of my relationship with God. Right now, today I am building a relationship with God. I Love him. Never in my life had I seen God, but I love him. Communication is everything. He talks to me, I hear him when he calls my name, I hear him when he wants me to listen, I can feel his presence.
 
Have you ever thought about that day when you finally meet him? Can you say you have a true relationship with God, today right now? Do you realize that its not too late? Right now is when the clock starts if you haven’t already.
 
Let me show you an example of how relationships start here on earth with each other, and how it ties in with a personal relationship with God.
                             God and Pearls of Wisdom
  • There was a time when we have heard of God’s name, but necessary decided to build a relationship with him.
  • There also was a time when we have heard of each other on the message board (Tearsa from Anita Baker’s) but the rest of us from Tyler Perry’s board, but not necessary decided to build a relationship with each other.
 
  • Then there came a time when we decided to talk to God for the very first time privately.
  • Then there came a time when we decided to email each other for the very first time privately.
 
  • There came a time when we wanted to know more about God. Where does he live. How did he get here, does he cry, how did he make all of us,  His likes and dislikes? The list goes on.
  • Then came a time when we all wanted to know about each other, how many children we had, married static’s, where did we live, our ages, our love and passion. The list goes on.
 
  • Then there came a time when we wanted to communicate with God daily. When we wanted to hear from him daily, we knew that he was there whenever we needed. The more we knew about him, the more we needed that connection.
  • Then there came a time when we wanted to communicate with each other daily. When we needed to hear from each other rather its through email, or phone. The more we knew about each other the more we wanted to meet and needed that connection. We knew that whenever we needed each other we would be there.
 
  • Now ~ Our communication and our relationship is so strong with God, that we want to meet him face to face. We want to hug him, and kiss him, and love him, and touch him, and laugh, talk and spend time with each other.
  • Now~ Our Communication with each other is so strong with each other we want to meet face to face, hug and kiss, laugh, cry and spend time with each other. We have even set a date for this union.
 
Our appointed day with God is not known, but if its God’s will, we will meet and spend time with each other July 17-24, 2006 in Atlanta, GA. Those are the days that we set aside to continue and to build our relationship with each other.
 
God wants us to communicate with him, just as we do the people we see everyday. He wants to talk to us and be apart of our lives. Even though we are on line that doesn’t mean that we cant have a loving relationship with each other. God put us all together for a reason, rather we get it right now or not. We have him right now in the midst, lets see what he wants with all of us. Lets see. Lets give him that chance. We owe him everything already, lets find out in prayer why did he put the 7 of us together. No matter who leaves and comes back, no matter who responds, no matter who is there peeking in, we are all STILL HERE!
 
Even though we have never never in our lives met each other, lets continue to build each other up. pray for each other, learn from each other, have disagreements with each other, make back friends with each other, but lets not forget our purpose. Its soooooooo not about us, its about God. Remember that. Lets exercise our patience with him. Lets remember its not our time we are on, its his time. Lets remember to love each other through phone and email.
 
Just as we await and prepare for July 17-24- lets do the same and prepare ourselves for the day when we meet God face to face.
 
So I ask you this as I close, what is your communication like what those you can see and those you have not met?
 
The bible says (my favorite scripture).
 

1 John 4:20 (Contemporary English Version)

20But if we say we love God and don’t love each other, we are liars. We cannot see God. So how can we love God, if we don’t love the people we can see?

1 John 4:20 (English Standard Version)

20If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot[a] love God whom he has not seen

 

1 John 4:20 (King James Version)

 20If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
