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.
I Had to Cut My Hair/Short Stories
I’m 57 and haven’t had my hair braided since I was a teenager.
My sister came over one day and put some braids in for me. I loved them, but they could have been smaller so they would last longer. I wore them for about a month. It was so different for me because I wasn’t used to getting up in the mornings and not having to do my hair. When I took them down, the waves left in my hair were so pretty. I even took photos. But what happened next SHOCKED ME.
I didn’t comb my hair out; I just went to the sink and started washing it. As I was washing, I noticed that my hair was balling up and feeling thin. It didn’t feel like my normal wash. When I was done and dried it, I ran my fingers through it and saw that it was tangled so badly, I think I went into shock. It was full of clumps that I couldn’t even comb out. I stood there in shock as I tried to detangle it. I tried everything. That’s when I drove to my daughter’s house for her to help me. We did all we could, but I had to cut out the tangled hair. I was devastated. I didn’t know how long it would take to grow back, but I knew what worked for me in the past. Here are some photos from 2022 and now, 2024.
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.
- 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.”
- 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.”
- Proverbs 1:8: “Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.”
- 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.
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
My Spiritual Dream About My daughter and My Nieces / Stort Stories
This year, I spent New Year’s with my daughter at her home. One night, I remember going to sleep and dreaming that my mother was mad at me for some reason. She was on the porch, and I was standing on the sidewalk. After she finished talking to me, I turned around to my daughter and two nieces. That’s when they told me they were going to walk to the store. Just then, I realized that we didn’t live in Detroit; we lived in Las Vegas. They would never walk anywhere—they would drive. I looked around and saw lights and people everywhere. Realizing that we lived in Vegas, I felt it was safe enough to walk to the store. Just then, I heard God say, “If you let them go to the store, you won’t see them again.” I know God’s voice, and I KNEW it was Him. I said, “Lord, but they’re grown; I can’t stop them.” He repeated it, this time louder and clearer: “If you let them walk to the store, you won’t see them again.” I knew it was God, and I immediately woke up. I sat there wondering what had just happened. I started thinking, “Okay, we live in Detroit. Why does my dream have us living in Vegas? What is God saying?” I put it together. He knew they were planning to go there.
I called my daughter into my room and told her my dream. As I was telling her, she had this look on her face. That’s when she said, “Momma, we were texting a few days ago that we should plan a trip to Las Vegas this year.” We both had chills. She got up to get her phone and SHOWED me the text messages. We sat there in shock. All kinds of thoughts went through our minds. I never knew they had a conversation about going there.
I had a dream some years ago where God sent me to tell people to WAKE UP before it’s too late. After telling them, I woke up and couldn’t believe the assignment He sent me on. After walking around my house for a few minutes, I asked God if I could go back into my dream to see if the people woke up. So, I laid down and I was back in the dream. You can read that right here. https://lacreasewalker.com/2007/04/16/my-dream-2/
This is why my daughter asked me to ask God if I can go back into the dream to see why they couldn’t go. She knew that God let me go back into a dream to see what happened to the others. I told her that dream was too real and to the point to want to know WHY. She knew that, but it still made her want to know.
With four months before the New Year 2025, they have no plans to go. I have two sisters, and we all have only one daughter each. I spoke with both Sisters and we DO NOT PLAY WITH GOD. My mother said she couldn’t bear to lose her only three granddaughters. The girls are disappointed, but they know the Lord is real and they plan to sit this one out.
