Hey Everybody!!

Thanks for all the notes. I love you all! I have been around, havent been writing at all, just doing some other things. How is everyone? I havent even been reading my folks blogs like I normally do, I will get to them this week for sure.

Anyone reading any good books ? I need to read a love story, sometimes I get in those moods and I want to be in the mix of the story. So if you are let a sista know. I went out and bought a lot of movies. But the last play I bought was Friends and Lovers with Leon, Monica Calhoun, that fione Mel Jackson, and this new gurl, who can act her but off Stacy Francis. Yall please please please if you didnt see it when it toured your city, please go to Walmart and get this play, it is off the hook!!!!! I havent told Tyler yet, that I cheated on him with another Playwright (JE\’CARYOUS JOHNSON).LOL But this play is good!

Just dropping in to say heyyyyyyy. And I will be in touch this week.

Love ya

Crease

This is the day that the Lord has made!!

Hey, whats going on? Well, have you seen Tyler Perry\’s new movie Daddy\’s Little Girls? Well, if you havent go and see it. You are gonna love it!

In the meantime here is my Teddy Bear ~ Gerald Levert

Whats upppppppppppppppppp? Yall miss me? lol Well, I have been working, but now I have the next 5 days off work ( by my request) to regroup and get my self and thoughts in order.

Growing up, I always had toys/things that require batteries. If I ran out of batteries for my toy, eletronic item, that was it. I couldnt play it until I got some more. That bothered me and use to get on my nerves. So now that Im grown. I can’t be without batteries. I am addicted to them. When Im shopping, I see some batteries, I will buy the pack of duracells/energizer that have 100 (well you know) in the pack. I have all sizes in my home office. If a remote goes out, Credog to the rescue. I GOT IT. If my radio remote goes out. I GOT IT. If my flash light goes out. I GOT THAT TOO. I do not play when it comes to battery operated items. I love buying batteries. Is something wrong with me?

Which leads me to this question. What do you buy now as an adult, that you had to do without growing up, that you can’t go without NOW.

Name the item and share a short story behind it.

Ok, now I live in Detroit, and it rains and snow and do all kinds of thangs here. I can say that I am use to the slick, snow and ice. There is a certain why you drive, and you must pay attention to the atmosphere of other drivers in bad weather. Make sure you leave space behind them, and take your time. If you have bad weather in your city please be careful, this is so serious. And guess what? When you start sliding there is nothing you or no one can do. Hold on pray and DONT PUSH THE BREAKS!

Watch this:

Today is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.

This message is for my friend someone who is very special to me. You know who you are, so when you read this, please take it to heart.

I appreciate you coming into my life, I love the conversations we had, I love the fact that I am special to you, and I love the time you spent with me that crazy Sunday evening on line. But I\’m missing you now. Its been almost 2 months and I haven\’t heard anything from you. I know that you are very busy……….. Lord I know. But still drop me a e-mail to let me know that you are okay. Let me know that I am special to you.

You told me the day you left my life that you are going to be busy and to not think that it was anything I said. I understand that, I do, but dang, I didn\’t know that it was going to be this hard!!! Sometimes I wish that I wasn\’t so \”noisy\” as you say, but I don\’t like to be in the dark about anything. Ain\’t gon lie, sometimes I think its easier to believe that we should have never \”connected\”.( Spiritually Speaking.)

Do you ever wonder whats going on with me? What do you really think of me, only answer that in person, when I see your eyes for myself. (*wink*)

I\’m closing for now, but I hope that you\’re reading and that I will see/talk to you soon. And you know how soon I\’m talking……so get busy with my ticket! ROFL

I know you love this song, so here it is.

This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

Have you ever just felt like are not doing what you are suppose to be in your life? Its like you don\’t have any motivation and no drive. Well, that\’s how I\’ve been feeling lately. I haven\’t been up to doing anything with my gurls group. Maybe I have been selfish and have been spending too much time with myself, trying to do things and plan things for myself.

But you know what? Yesterday as I got into my sisters truck to go to dinner , so said this is a word from God. She said you better get back on track with your gurls, you have been cancelling meetings, not being focused, and since he has been blessing you financially, you haven\’t had a meeting since. And I\’m like WHAT HE TOLD YOU THAT? And she said yes. I knew he did. Cause I know my daddy. When he cant get through to my thick head, he will go through somebody who doesn\’t know that I\’m already feeling that same way. It kinda took me out of my square for a mintue cause its true. I needed that, and to regroup myself and fast!

Today I bought a book by Joyce Meyer called Woman to Woman (Candid Conversations from Me to You). I have already started on it, and it seems like a good book. I need some ump in my life right about now. My life is into these gurls…….PERIOD! And no matter what I buy and have bought in these last few months, seem as if I\’m still missing something. Still not happy. I know that I won\’t be here in this state long………….JUST AINT ME. But in the meantime, I needed some witness as to just what God is about to do through and for me. Teens are my life, if I\’m not doing things with them, I am not happy. Its like God planted this chip inside of me at birth, and I need to do things that is associated with kids. I feel so off balanced when I\’m not.

Oh……….. don\’t think Lacrease is the woman to lie in this bed for a long time, cause it aint gonna happen. I\’m in my last days on this stuff. I\’m getting up outta this bed………………………IN JESUS NAME.

AIGHT!

FOR THIS WEEKEND EDITION. I WANT YOU GUYS TO GO TO CHURCH AND GET YOUR PRAISE ON. DONT WORRY ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS, DONT WORRY ABOUT YOUR HEALTH, DONT WORRY ABOUT YOUR MONEY, OR BILLS. DONT WORRY ABOUT YOUR JOB, YOUR HUSBAND OR YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS.

JUST SAY LORD WHATEVER YOUR WILL. LET IT BE DONE.

SAYING THIS TAKES IT OUR OF YOUR HANDS AND INTO THE LORD\’S HANDS. IM TELLING YOU, THIS IS HOW I ALWAYS MAKE IT THROUGH.

MY FAVORITE GOSPEL ARTIST EVER IS DETROIT\’S OWN KAREN CLARK-SHEARD. I LOVE THIS WOMAN. I LOVE HER! SO CHECK THIS OUT:

My daughter is now 20 and she can tell me about a few times I had companylate night. Sometimes I look back at my life and ask myself…………how could you be so stupid????????

As I get older, I realize that it was for me to learn. I had to go through it. Maybe I can help other parents from making the same mistakes I made.

I use to think that when it was time for my daughter to go to bed, it was time for COMPANY! Not thinking or caring that she may be woke or even worry about me when she lays down. She tells me that she use to worry about me when I had company, and that she couldnt go to sleep unless my company was gone. Wow. I didnt even know she was woke half the time. If you were a mother , who didnt introduce your child to the man unless you really like then, then you were like me had company when your child went to bed. Im here to tell you mom and dad, your child is listening. But while they are too embarresed to mention to you NOW while they are young, OH they will one day, and one day soon. My daugher reminds me all the time.

Another thing kids watch us do. They watch how we treat others. When we would walk by homeless people asking for money. I would always give them something. I try not to worry about what they are going to do with it, but I try to use wisdom on who to give too. So as she became a teenager she started giving them money whenever she sees them. One day we were at Walgreens and she was walking with me, and all of a sudden she walks up to a man, and give him some money. And I was like WOW!!!!!! She did it on her own. That comes from years of watching me do it, without complaing, without dissing their situation, without calling them names, but having compassion for them. Yall can never imagine the feeling that I had when I see her do this.

Days before Christmas, an ex coworker had fell on hard times and needed some money. We had never spoken on the phone before, but she called me just before Chirstmas and told me that she needed $100.00. I told her that I had $50.00 to give her and that she didnt have to pay it back. When I got off the phone, my daughter say ma who is that? I said my co worker , she said whats wrong she need some money? So I said yes. She said lets go to the bank and I will withdraw $50.00 to put with $50.00 and lets take it to her. Out the mouths of babes. My BABY SAID THAT!!!!!!!!!!!

We took her the money, and of course she was thinking it was going to be
$50.00 and it was $100.00! See as your child grows up, they watch you, they see and hear everyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyything you do, and when they get old enough to make decisons, YOU WILL BEGIN TO SEE EVERYTHING YOU TRAIN THEM TO BE.

If you are reading this. Remember your child is watching everything you say and do. Be mindful of everything when you are around them.

Do good deeds, go the the homeless shelter and feed the homeless, bring home amd care for a stray dog. ( it just may bring joy into your home)

Take a certain day off for just you and your kids. None of your gurls/boys, no male/female friends, no family members, just you and your children!!!

Play some music and dance with them. They will remember that for ever! Kids love silly stuff like that.

Plan one day for MCDONALD\’S! KIDS LOVE McDonald\’s. Me and Neisha use to do this all the time……………and still go once a week!!! Yep still do!

And finally. Come up with a TV show that you like and they like. and make sure you watch it with them EVERYWEEK!!!!!!!!!! Dont break it. Promise to watch it every week with them.

Im out for now. But remember KIDS WATCH EVERYTHING YOU DO!

Hello 360!

A few weeks this guy was in line waiting to be rung up, so when his turn came, he hands me his money, and says…….. Lacrease, I want you! So I looked up at him, smiled, and was like O OK. He read my name tag, and said that he had been checking me out. He was nice looking , but his approached threw me off. He asked me for his number and I gave it to him. I wanted to talk to him, see what is going on in his head.

He calls me, we talk. When I asked him why he was so quiet and secretive when he was in my line. he said that he use to talk to someone who I work with.

DING DING DING!

So, I\’m like OK.

He told me that he was at work on his last break, and that he works from 5 in the morning until 1 in the afternoon. So I\’m like okayyyyyyy. So what do you do after that? He says well I go home and go to bed. I said, so do you have a gurlfriend? And he says yes. But let me run down my life to you Lacrease. So I\’m like OK ( oh boy here we go). He says. I have a gurlfriend, and we live together. I work from 5 am to 1 pm. My curfew is 11 o clock. Why I ask him. Because that\’s what we agreed too. So he says, I want you, and I\’m laying down everything for you in the beginning, so there wont be any misunderstandings. Now me, I holding the phone like…………he got me sooooooooooo messed up……………….and its okay, because he don\’t know me.

So

He goes into how he can come over and we could start seeing each other, and I\’m holding the phone like, keep on talking because this is your last conversation.

Today, I comes out of the lady\’s room, and there he was going into the men\’s room. He was looking nice and all. And it was my time to talk to him face to face. I cant stand talking on the phone all the time, because you cant really look at the person in the eye, and feel the body language like you can in person.

I said look, you have a gurlfriend. I\’m 39 years old and I want a man of my own. Then he says well, Lacrease I want you. I said what if I get into a friendship with you and you cant take it any further? He said well that\’s why I\’m telling you all about me ahead of time. So that told me that he has no plans on leaving his gurlfriend, and that he wanted me to be his \”friend\” on the side.

When I talking to someone. I have steps that I go into that takes no more than 5 minutes. Its not a long conversation, it don\’t take up too much time. and this is how I laid it down to him.

I said to him:

A. I\’m single, your not

B. you want to have sex with me,

C. You cant stay over late to play games, or go to my family events.

D. We can\’t go for a late movie, because you have a curfew that\’s at 11.

E. You feel that if I ever become to attached, that you would have to REMIND me that YOU laid down the truth about yourself in the beginning.

So after telling him this. all he said was Lacrease you have a choice. I SAID I KNOW I DO! I don\’t want to see you. Then he stares at me and say Lacrease I gotta have you. CREEPY! ( like I ain\’t said nothing)

Ladies don\’t you wonder what it is about you that makes men feel that they can say and do anything to you? Men feel that if they tell you the truth in the beginning they have the same chance a man with no woman has. And its not true. If the man told the truth in the beginning. GOOD That\’s what he\’s suppose to do. But I also have the choice to accept or deny his ONE SIDED relationship/friendship.

All I have to say to him is: Maybe when I as 19. even 24, maybe 29, probably 31, heck sorta 33, but 39 NAW!

In the meantime…….I\’m single and loving The Lord!
