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

Ok, you all know I love music right? Well here is a song I found on line. This song is beautiful. We wont know the words and you may have heard it before. Just listen
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)
