Things with the Lord that makes you go hmmmmm


People And Concepts; Hand Reaching Out - Picture, Photo, Photograph
 
 
This week Im going to focus on situations and how God is in the middle of it all. There are test in one’s life that you must pass in order to move on to the next phrase of you life,  its just that simple . Let me explain
 
I dont like or eat cheese period. I hate the smell of it. Years ago whenever I would go to a fast food resturant drive thru, I would order a hamburger w/o cheese, and no matter how many times I say no cheese, I would get home to find cheese on my food anyway. So one day I was at the drive thru, and I purposly told the lady no cheese at least 6 or more times. She promised me that she would check it herself. So when I got the food, my hamburger had cheese . I was outrage. I was so so upset. I think I lost it on her.
 
Then I sat there and thought about it. I said you know what? I know God is behind this. No way could I posibly say no cheese to that woman that many times and still get it anyway. I said satan wants me to get upset and go off, but God on the other hand is trying to tell me something. Lets see.
 
I thought about it. No matter how many times I tell the woman no cheese I would end up with it. I said Lord, this is a test. I know it I feel it.  I said Lord, I know this is you, ( smile) I need to pass this test in order to move on. And the reason why I keep getting cheese on my sandwich is because I havent passed the test yet.
 
From that point on, when I got cheese on my hamburger, I didnt get upset. I kindly ask them to fix it. Today I can count on my hands how many times cheese has end up on my sandwich. Not many at all. I finally past the test. That does not make me angry any more.
 
Now that youve read my story, can you think on a time where you keep being in the same situation? Are you dating the same kind of men, are you still getting the same ole jobs, do you keep having a argument with someone all the time? Well ask yourself……………. Lord, what is it that you are trying to tell me. What is it that you want me to learn from all this?
 
Read this scripture for yourself. Read very very very slow.
 
Luke 12 (New International Version)
 54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. 55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?
 
Aint that deep? Wow
 
Lets chat!

Do you live for the now……….or the later

Im going to be real honest. Back in the day early 20’s if Id met a guy and he was hot, pretty teeth, nice behind, thick, dark tall, with a sexy smile……………..it was on and poppin.

 I learned that sex is the easiest thing in the world to get. If you ask a man/woman for $25.00 the same day you met him,  you were feeling him and he was feeling you sexually you he would look at you like youre crazy.
 
A gold digger would be your new name to him, a person who is out for  money. But that same fool will turn around and ask you for the same thing that is written in the bible.  Your body!
 
15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! 16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”[b] 17But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit. 1 Corinthians 6 (New International Version)

How many times have you see someone you use to kick it with and started thinking about that person all day? Then later when you get home he is on your caller ID? Thats because those spirits reconnected when you saw him earlier. But what happens when you are married and happy, then all of a sudden in one day you see 2 guys you had sex with in the past. You start thinking about them in the flesh. Of course you are not going to “hook up” with them. But you dont need to have that spirit inside you. Thats what God wants us to avoid. Its not good to have sex before marriage.
But as  got older ( 38) I realize that its deeper than sex. Its deeper than just seeing a guy that you are attracted too and wanting to have sex with him in that day or the week to come.

 

I laugh now cause Im looking at a bigger picture.  There are things  I need to know about him. I dont care how good he look, or how good our chemistry is, he has to have more going than sex. Wayyyyy more.

 

So to name a few

  • How do you treat and talk to  your mother/father/ sisters and brothers?

  • How do you handle a situation where you see me talking to a guy and you dont reconize him?

  • How long have you been at your job

  • Do he have a best friend and for how long?

Those are just a few questions that I need to know. There comes a time in your life when you want your own home,  when you want a truck of your choice sitting in your driveway, with no rust spots and accident marks on it. There come a time when you want 3-4 bed rooms instead of an apartment or flat. There comes a time when you take vacations at your job you want to take 3-4 weeks. Because you have been there a while  or least love your job to be in the process of being there long). There comes a time when you want your own personal bank account, he has his personal, there is a bill account, and a  joint savings account. There comes a time in your life when you want to look at your man/woman and you want to say come on boo lets go to Florida for 2 weeks. There comes a time when you want to have Barbeque’s a get togethers at your home with family and friends and when everyone is gone, you and your boo do the dishes.

 

Thats what Im talking about!

So my question to you: Do you think its possible for you to hold out on sex until you are married? Do you see and understand why God didnt want us to have sex before marriage? Do you feel that if you hold out on sex that, your boyfriend will end up cheating on you? Can you handle that part?

Are you Sarcastic?

 
 
 I must admit……….I am very sarcastic. I think that people who are sarcastic have minds that goes here and there on subjects. No matter how I try to tone it down, I am always saying something that I aint got no  business saying. Sometimes I just laugh at myself. cause I cant belive that I am saying it.
 
All my life I wanted to be a Lawyer. I would tear a court room up with my cross examinations, accusations. I would rode rule a court room. I love to ask questions. Let me tell yall, I will be asking you one question, and before you can get it out, I would be on my 3rd one. lol
 
People say Im nosey, but I just want to know. I want to know who was the person, have you seen him before, what color he had on, what kind of shoes he was wearing, how was his hair, teeth, car he was driving. what time was it, who knows him out here. I swear with my skills I would terrorize a court room.
 
 
Thats why I love to watch Judge Judy, and Judge Mathis. They have me hollering!!!! She is soooooooo sarcastic.
 
I have to keep on being honest. I wouldnt hurt a fly. Im nice and very funny. But when I get mad or Im being funny there are some things that I have said that makes me laugh even when I think of it.
 
My old time favorites\’ sarcastic lines:
 
  • When Im on the phone and Im arguing or debating with them, and the person hangs up on me,. I will call  them right back and say……….. sorry my phone messed up, it made a mistake and hung up. lol
  • If Im in my room and my daughter comes in and change the channel while I was in the bathroom. I will say, Imma have to take this TV back, cause the remote be making a mistake and turn the channel. ( my daughter be hollering laughing)
  • If I have a pop sitting on the table, and I look at it and its almost gone from my daughter sipping it. I\’ll say go in the refrigerator and get my pop cause this one aint mines.
  • When Im at work and my light is off  at my register( cashier) and a customer walks up and start putting their items on the counter, just because Im standing there. I will look at the light and say \”dang did my light pop on and I didnt know it\’? I have this stupid look on my face. lol
  • My daughter is always going in my purse for some gum, so when I see her, I\’ll say, when you buy that purse like mines, cause I knowwwwwwwwwwwwwww you aint going in mines w/o permission. Thats gotta be yours. lol
So my question to you : Are you Sarcastic? What are some things you say to people. Do you even like sarcastic people? so you have friends or family who are?

My Sister Peedie!

 

Hey Fam!
 
 Today I celebrate my sister Peedie! Peedie is my baby, I swear I had her, I love her sooooo soooo soooooo much.
 
Peedie is the baby of us 4. She feels she is suppose to get any and everything she ask for. I always tell her, when me and my other sister Na was getting whoopings where were you? lol Cause by the time she got old enough to get whoppings my mom and dad was tired! lollll. She missed out on all that.
 
Peedie is 32, a Capricorn and sweet as pie. We all ( gurls) try to get out and do sister things together. When we get mad at each other, we try to make friends before leaving who ever house we are at. We are always debating. We are a debating family lol. And my dad is the ring leader. My mom is a cancer and my dad a Scorpio. So we got all of that from him.
 
Peedie has 3 kids, Greg 15, Gary 12, and Ganell 10. They are my babies too. Me and Peedie live exactly 1-2 mintues away from each other. Our kids walk to each other house.
 
Last night I took her to see Gerald Levert in Casino, and my other sister Na, took us both out to dinner.
 
Today, I Thank God for giving me such beautiful and wonderful sisters. They are alllllllllllllllllll mines. lol
 
I love you PD

My brother Bobby

First of all before I start off this entry. I want to first Thank God for the brother and the 2 sisters that I have. I want to Thank God for hand picking them to be my sisters and my brother. Lord, Thank you for my up bringing, we were taught to love each other, and respect each other.
 
We grew up with both our parents and people use to say \”whats it like having both parents living with you all \”, and we use to say it feels normal. As we got older we realize that we had grew up different. We went to dinner every Friday when my dad got  paid, we had money everyday, we got allowances. We took trips and barbequed so much, that to this day, people say we are barbecuing and we are like UGHHHH. Looking back we really had a good life.
 
Lord, I want to thank you for my family. There is a reason why I am writting this blog tonight.
 
I went to see the play Casino with my 2 sisters Na and Peedie tonight, along with my sister Na best friend. While at dinner, she was amazed at how close we are, and how good we get along. Its like normal to us because we love each other sooooo much it just dont make no sense. I told Tatianna that we look at her as a sister ( she dont have any sisters) and she started crying. It was so touching. So Im saying to myself, wow everything my dad taught us growing up as far as us being family and not fighting each other, and being there each other paid off. Its like we see it, when people say wow yall are really close.
 
So tonight of this 4 part story of my brother and sisters, I celebrate my brother bobby first.
 
Bobby our only brother is 33. He is single! He\’s  a construction worker who loves his job. He works from May-Nov and makes over $80,000 a year! He was a Marine for 4 years and he is looking for love!
 
Bobby is a Scorpio! He loves to debate. I love my brother, but this boy will talk your ears off if he gets you in his truck, his room and his house. I swear you better have all your house choirs done, for the next day or so, or you hit! lol He is a sweetheart too. When we were young we couldnt fight it was a rule. So now that we are older, we get into heated debates. I mean heated. That was our only defense back them was to argu, to hear a walker family argument will scare you. We wont fight, but we bite. lol
 
So here is Bobby!

Casino!

Hello Bloggers out there!
 
  Just got home from seeing the play with my boo Gerald Levert,  Kelly Price, and Tommy Ford. It was off the CHAIN!
The play was sooooo good. I swear I want to go back before the week is over. Kelly Price was looking so pretty. I am so proud of her. She lost a lot of weight, she got hips and butt with NO stomach, that\’s what Im talking about. She looks very nice.
 
Gerald Levert ahhhh . I love this man. He is so humble and so sexy. The way he looked at Kelly all though the play was melting to me. I really really enjoyed myself.
 
Gerald thank you for one of the best evenings of my life!

Gerald Levert and Lacrease

Hey!
 
 Im here! Guess what today is? (lol) The day that I go see my boo Gerald Levert (Wed). He is in a play called Casino, and I am so there.
 
My friend Pat won  2 tickets off the radio to go to his private meet and greet that he had here in Detroit last June. I had a ball, do ya hear me? I had front row seat to his concert with New Edition and Brian McKnight July 5, 2005. Talking about a chick who had a good time, that would be me. lol
 
My sister and her friend called me and ask me did I want to go see the play,  I told her I had already bought my ticket.
 
So now they end up going the same day we are going me ( my friend T) so now we are all riding together. Thats even better.
 
Gerald has been my favorite male singer for a long long time,and Anita Baker is my favorite female singer. I love Anita Baker.  I met her too last year in August. I prayed for those meetings. I did and God answered them.
 
Now my last wish is to meet Tyler Perry. He is my baby. I love him. I am on his message board everyday. He knows me too, but we never met. One day soon, aint even go rush it.
 
Well, Im off to bed to get ready for this play, and we have some good seats too. We are in the 4th row from the stage. Here is a photo of me and Gerald.
 
See ya later!

God is trying to tell us something!

Black and white twins born in England

Perfect example of how God works!

No matter who you are born from, we are all God’s children. I pray that the parents make sure that they remain close when they get older.

Lord, thank you for these beatiful baby gurls! Let them grow up and show the world that they know no color . But love!

Belinda \”Cookie\” Adams~~~ I miss you!

Often I think about my friend cookie who I use to work with  at Arbor Drugs. We use to have soooo much fun in that place. It should have been against the law to come to work, laugh loud, eat anything you want, and get paid for it! Thats just how much fun we use to have.

When I left Arbor cookie was still there. She didnt have to work because her husband had a GOOD JOB!. She just worked for her \”hair and nail money\” They lived in the prettiest house that I\’ve seen in my life!!  Her home was beautiful, and it was 2 mintues from our job. Cookie was in her middle 40\’s. After a while she quit her job because she had gotten ill.

One day I will never forget, she called me and said Lacrease you better come over here and see me. I knew she was sick but I didnt want to see her like that. She kept saying, yall better get over here and see me.

 I never went.

Soon after that my friend Quetta called me from work and told me that  she was listening to the radio when her son who is a Comedian ( The Great Bobo Lamb) was on the radio saying  that his mother had passed away, and that the funeral was going to be TOMORROW.

I was devasted. I was so sick. I cried and cried.

 But I kept hearing God\’s voice telling that he made it possible for me to go to the funeral  by Quetta\’s radio being on at work. I thought about it through all my guilt of not going to see her like she asked me too, and somehow it comfort me.

We all went to the funeral which was soooooooo packed and so sad. She looked so pretty and so peaceful. As she lay there, thats when I realized that God had a sense of humor. I say that because she was so funny and so silly. That if we came from God, then we know that he laughs, he must have a sense of humor. God was really there for me during that time. Because I didnt take it well at all. Cookie and I had some much fun together. She loved the Lord, and went to Church on Sunday\’s always thanking him for what she had been through as she told us stories of her growing up  poor with her kids.

I remember after work one day she said Lacrease lets go to Denny\’s. It was just me and her. We talked laughed and had a good time. I will never forget that night.

She was so pretty, she entered the Anita Baker contest and won first place. We talked about that all the time. On the back of photos she had given me, she always said she loved me. When I was sad and would think about her, God would lead me to small things like that, and I love him for it.

Its been over 6 years since cookie passed away, but I remember her as if she was here yesterday. Her husband remarried ( that hurted a little) riding by the house and cookie\’s truck in not the driveway. Im happy that her husband Jerome has moved on. But you know? Cookie will be in my heart forever.

So if you have someone in one in your life that you need to see, please go and see them. If you are not getting alone with someone you love, you need to go and see them before its too late.  GO SEE THEM! Or you will end up just like me and thats not  good feeling at all.

The Day and Hour Unknown  Matthew 24:36-41

 36\”No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
