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?

God, Lady, New Year

God’s Way Is Perfect
As for God, His ways is perfect
1 Samuel 22:31
 
A funny thing happens when we choose God’s way over ours: Our way becomes perfect–perfect in its purpose and perfect in its plans. No, we won’t always escape the long nights or bad phone calls; we won’twalk through life with only clean health reports and paid bills. But God will be a shield around us, protecting us from the pain of life, underlining the joy in all things. He is sovereign God over all–our strength and our power. What could be more perfect than that?
 
Karen Kingsbury, Woman of Faith Devotional Bible
 
Lord, Thank you again for waking me up this morning. Today after work me and Neisha was talking about you, we had a nice conversation too. Today I was scheduled to  be at work from 8:30-5:30. And by me not use to waking up that early, I was hoping that I wouldnt over sleep. So when I woke up it was 7:30 the exact time I wanted to get up, I thought about how it could have never been me who woke me up. And thats because when we are sleep we don’t know and have no clue to what is going on around us. If some strange person was standing over us we wouldnt know. So I say that to say that God is the only person who wakes us up. If we are not concious of anything while we are sleep, how can we then wake ourselves up? Thats why I thank him for waking me up.
 
Work was good today, this one lady got on my nerves, coming in through my line talking and acting like she was un touchable. She had 3 baskets full of items. She worked at a school and she was with 2 other ladies, who you can tell was under her “spell”. She came through and wanted to use her tax exempt card, ………..but didnt have the card. So she passed met his paper without the numbers Im like maam this don’t have any numbers on it, then she goes well we are on file, cause I was here in May. And Im like okkkkkkkkkkkkkk, but you still need you card. She was like cant they just look us up on file? So I jumped on the phone and called Shannon to come out there and talk to her, cause she was making me cut up “sarcasticly”. I tried to tell her that she has to have a card, but she kept saying we’re on file. Shannon looked her up and she told her that she was not. She had to do paper work all over again. I was like YESSSSS in my mind. But when she got it done, and I started ringing her up. God kept telling me to make friends with her, and Im standing at the register saying to God nope, um um God she is off the hook, she thinks she is all that, and I feel as through she is looking down on me. Anyway we started talking, I can tell that by how humble but firm I was being that she wanted to talk and tell about the kids, and the gifts the school bought for them. She helped me with the items. Sometimes when God tells us to do something even if we dont want too,  Lord knows I didnt want to talk to this lady at all. We have to do it. We need to do it. It helps us in the long run. Will I ever see that lady again? I don’t know, but if I do, I want the atmosphere between us to be forgotten and pleasant. OOOOOO that killed me. And Im not the one to be ignorant and not respond when I KNOW she is talking to me. Plus she was older than I am, so I didnt want to be disrespectful and ignant. Rofl.
 
A new year is coming ,and I have several things on my “to do all year list”. Yall know the number one thing on my list right? To lose weight!
 
Im going to close for now, Im going to surf the net, but tomorrow I will be back strong……..

Entry for December 12, 2005

Lord, I love you .  I sit and think about how much you are on my mind. I can’t wait to kiss , and hug you. I know that Im going to have to share your  kisses with others but, lets make some time together where we can talk just you and me.

There are so many things that I want to Thank You for. Face to face things. I just finished praying and Thanking you, but I want to see your face. I want to look into your eyes.

Im on my way to bed now. Thanks for answering my prayer. Oh yeah we have to talk about Ki Ki tomorrow. God you are soooooooo funny. You wanted me to know about what happened to Ki Ki so that I can be a witness to how real you are. Boo, you know that I know. Just give me the opportunity to “tell it” to others who don’t know. Well talk later on her.

I Love you and talk to you tomorrow.

Concerts and Conversations with God

Hey,
 
       Im sitting here listening to Tony Terry~ When Im with you. Does anyone remember that song? It sounds so good, haven’t heard it in a long time. I went to see him, Vesta and Gerald Levert at The Warehouse a long time ago, me and Charlene. I was hanging back then. Man, how times fly. Im sitting here thinking about the concerts Ive been too. And Lord I have surely spent some money. Let me see if I can name them all. I am a person who loves entertainment. I love music. I love people. That’s why I want to work with homeless people. The more I say that the more I believe and know that I am going to get my wish one day soon. Its in my heart so deep. To talk to teens how have no direction. I want to quit my job, live in my new big ole house, be rich, go on shopping sprees for house and clothes, and a truck then start my mission.
 
Let me name the many concerts and people that shared a bill.
 
Prince, Rick James, Vaughn Mason and Crew my very first concert.
Then I went to see Prince again with Rick James. Janet Jackson at Joe Louis Arena. Anita Baker and Luther Vandross at Joe Louis Arena, Anita Baker with Lashell Griffin at DTE. Mary J. Blige with Usher and Next at the Fox 5th row from the stage, then Mary J. Blige with Avant and some other new artist we sat 3rd row from the stage at The Fox. Gerald Levert at the Ware house (old club) with Vesta Williams, and Tony Terry. Barry White at the Fox, then I went another time at the Fox to see Barry White again with Chante Moore. Then I went to see Black Street at The Fox. Tyler Perry Madea Goes to Jail 2 times at the Fox, and then once for the taping of Madea’s Class Reunion at The Fox. Gerald Levert at a private party in Detroit at The Athenium Hotel (92.3) I took pictures with him. Gerald Levert with Brian McKnight and New Edition at The Fox 2005. Rick James before he died at The Fox.  Then I went to the best concert ever in my life ~Diddy, Lil Kim, Ma$e, The Lox, 112, and Sisqo, they all threw down, that was at The Joe Louis Arena. I went to see Shirley Caesar, Marvin Sapp, my number one gospel singer Karen Clark Sheard several times (even at her own church here in Detroit this year), Ki Ki Sheard, Mary Mary, Fred Hammond, Dave Hollister, Paul Morton (Bishop) several times this year. I went to a private party, met and took pictures with Kem this year. Salt and Pepa, Heavy D, that was called The Throw at Cobo. I will never forget that day. So many people were on that ticket, I cant even remember. All I know is I went to see Heavy D and Salt and Pepa.
August 14 of this year I went to see Destiny Child with Mario,
Teairra Marie,  and Tyra. The music system at The Palace was off the hook! I went to see Eminem, 50 , Missy Elliott, D-12, Obie Trice and Monica at Ford Field. Another time I saw Freddie Jackson, Aretha Franklin. Then, Genuine, Joe, Jagged Edge and supposed to be Jaheim on the same ticket but he didn’t show up, and The Fox.  Phil Perry at the Ware house club.
 
I cant think of any more at this time, but I know there’s more.
 
Concerts I am looking forward too attending SOON ASAP. Anita Baker, Jill Scott, Gerald Levert, Kem, Mary J. Blige, Yolanda Adams, Ce Ce Winans, Janet Jackson, Marvin Sapp, Karen Clark-Sheard, and Tyler Perry always when he comes to Detroit.
 
Let me take the time to say God I Love you. I was just washing my hair thinking about you. How you let us chose and decide what rode we are going to take in life. But you know its one area you seem like you just aint gonna let me do. And that’s with the men. You always seem to let me know what kind of boot leg men I am dealing with. You always let me know ahead of time. Like Im destine to be with someone you chose. Hey that’s perfect for me. Whateva you decided Lord ……Im so there. lol
 
Just sitting at dinner talking to Gloria this evening about the married men I use to be with, and how I would allow them to use my body and then go home to their families. How I thought that was cool, how I thought that since I wasn’t looking for anything serious, it was okay with me. How stupid I was. Man, if I wasn’t so secretive back then, maybe someone with some wisdom would have told me better. But you know Im glad that I went through that. Cause a lot of times men in Walmart would stare at me like I am a piece of pie and they would be with their wives and gurlfriends. Back in the day I would think that was so cute, but now its a turn off. And the facial expression I give them, they know Lacrease aint even having it.
 
So Lord, I want to Thank You for saving me from the danger of bad and no good relationships. People feel so depressed when they go through bad things, but for me, I embrace them. Aint gon lie I shooooooo be glad when they are over, even my trials, sometimes the feel as if they are never going to end. But you know everything come to pass. And if we dont know nothing else let us remember that.
 
Growing up I prayed for Wisdom. Reading it in the bible was something I did. But as I got older I realize that I need it to live out here. I need it for situations to make choices. I cant not get mad or be mad at God for the things that Ive went through growing up or even as being a woman. I will embrace it instead. I am happy. I can relate. I can pass down what I learned from my situation. What good is going through something if you aint willing to share it?
 
In this life I always feel that I could do more to help the next person. I want God to say to me, well done my child. Not why you didn’t help Tammy when she was Hungary at the job, when you were mad at her for acting funny? Noooo, I don’t want that. I can think of a lot of times when I was acting foul and living foul. Whew Lord, forgive me for all those times. If you need me to name them …….I will. I am not stubborn, I am not too proud. You are my Father and I will name everything I can remember to ask for forgiveness. Im so happy that I have that relationship with you. I had to open my mouth to build it. You were always there for me. And still is. You tell me soooooooooooooo much. People still to this day wonder how do I know things. And they don’t understand, its you, not me. I am soooooooo nothing without you. Man how plain is that to see? And you know what I love most about you God? Is that whenever I do something wrong you check me on the spot. You let me know up front that I am wrong. And sometimes I laugh cause mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn you be UP ON ME! I can’t do nothing wrong. ROFL You got me so out there like that. You will check me in a heartbeat. I can hear your voice saying Lacrease dont do that. that aint right, don’t do my people like that. Its amazing how you be on me. And I love it!
 
Cause see when I was a young gurl, I use to say to my parents, I can’t wait till I get grown and move out. I felt that I would be grown, and that I could do anything I wanted. Then when I got grown, I started making wrong decisions, and bad choices. Then one day I will never forget what you said……… Lacrease, you are grown, but you still have to answer to me. And that blew me away. I can still hear your voice. I knew you were real. Cause cant no voice just pop up in my head and say nothing like that to me. I knew it wasn’t me saying that, cause remember I SAID I WAS GROWN. lol Whew God I can go on and on with the conversation we’ve had.
 
Im going to close for now, but I will be back tomorrow. I am off to work @ 4-10:30 tomorrow that’s cool. Then 11-8 on Tuesday, and 8:30-5:30 on Wednesday and off on Thursday.

God Bless You All

Prayer, Everytime, Cute Guy, Goals

Hey,
  Whew what a week! First let me say to God I Love you. Prayer is the bomb. Thanks for introducing me to it! And you know what Im talking about!
I had a good week at work. Ive been so nice to the customers, a few got on my nerves, but the whole week was nice, and Im so happy. There is always one person who get on your nerves, but I am thankful that I can bounce back soon as that “person” has left. Making other people pay for that one person is not right.
 
Hey, I found that song from Dr. Dre’s soundtrack of The Wash. Its by Toi and its called “Everytime”. I cant find the sound track, but my baby Neisha found it on line and its on my play list. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhha
 
This guy that I met in Walmart and use to talk to on the phone, came in Walmart yesterday. It was one of my ugly ugly ugly days. When he got my attention to say “hi”, I wanted to slap him and say “if you see me looking ugly for that day, don’t stop me to say hi, and then have me looking at you, and youre looking good”. He was looking good too. Um Um Um. That “pimp”( my ghetto figure of speech) (man) was looking nice. Ughhhh, I dont even want to remember yesterday. UGH
 
 
Next year I have some serious goals that I want to fullfill. I am going to write them down so that I can go back to them.
  1. * Tithe ~ on every check
  2. * Lose weight before July 17, 2006
  3. * Keep my hair and nails done
  4. * Get a new car or truck
  5. * Be serious about Pearls of Wisdom ( Ministry)

Well, Im closing for now, gotta go and do some Ministry work. I will talk to you later, God bless you all reading.

The Net, Sensitve, My Sisters, Thank you Lord, Ministry Ideas

The Parable of the Net
 47“Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. 48When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. 49This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous 50and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 13

 

I remember growing up when my dad use to take us fishing, we would throw our fishing rods out and when we caught a fish, my dad would look at it and throw it back if it wasn’t good. That reminds me of this parable so much. Wouldn’t it be something if you were one of those that the Angels threw back? Oh goodness that would that be so spooky? It don’t take much for me to imagine this scripture happening and to see the gnashing of the teeth and all the weeping that will be going on. I can close my eyes and imagine these things taking place.

 

Today was not one of my best days at work. My teeth is very sensitive in the back and it bothered me for 2 of the hours I was there. I was just so irritated and I just wanted to get home take me an advil and go to sleep. Before I went to work I was watching TV, my tooth was aching and all of a sudden this commercial came on about this new medicine to help sensitive teeth. I couldn’t wait to get to work to buy it. Well, when I got there I couldn’t find it right away. So when I did find it I looked at the price and almost fell out. I didn’t care that it cost $12.00 all I knew is that I needed it and I needed it now. I realized that I had left my Visa Card at home, and didn’t have 7 dollars to go with my $5.00. I asked a few people and as usual cant no body help me. Its funny cause I was getting mad, and it seems like whenever someone need something, I have it. I needed them few dollars bad, so I asked April and she gave it to me. I went home and use it, and um um um this stuff is the BOMB. Whew Im so happy, this will last 3 months and now I can enjoy the cold things, and I can enjoy not being bothered with the pain and irritation.

Tonight me and my sisters went to dinner. Peedie called me a few days ago and said that we as sisters need to get out and do things, and talk as sisters do. So we decided to go to Texas Road House tonight for dinner and we had a ball, laughing, and just enjoying each other. We talked about everything, whew we had a good time, we sat for hours and hours. We agreed to do that at least once a month.

 Lord, I want to Thank you publicly for matching me up with the sisters that you gave me. You could have given me 2 different sisters. But you wanted me to have these 2 as my sisters. Peedie and Na. And I can’t thank you enough. I love my sisters sooooooo much. Our kids are close, we all have 1 daughter a piece and  they are so very close. Lord, Thank you for that. Thank you, and I love you for that. I could never ask for anybody else. I am truly bless. I know it Lord, I see it and I feel it. Thank you again. Thank you.

 

A few weeks ago I prayed for God to restore the sensitivity in me for people again. I had lost love for people, and when I had a talk with God, I told him that I didn’t like people. I told him that they make me sick, and no matter how friendly I went to work, when it came time to ring up people, I treated them badly. I didn’t want to put their bags in their carts, I ignored them (still got to work on that), I didn’t smile, I just didn’t like them and I told God just that. But then one day I realized that it was taking a toll on me. I was feeling ugly and mean. I didn’t want to go on treating people like that. Because I am a person who loves people. I can look at somebody and cry if they had one leg, or if they even had a sad look on their face. I needed him to give that love back to me for his people. I love people very much. I can talk to people and make them laugh, motivate them, lift their spirits, but all of that was gone. After God heard my prayer he restored the love for the people back in me. I can feel it, I care now, I talk to them now, I feel like a yes, yes, ma’am and sir person. And I love that about me. Today was not a good day, but tomorrow will be better………..watch and see.

 

I bought another movie. Well,…………..a few of them. Asunder with Blair Underwood and Debbie Morgan, and her husband in the movie was Michael Beach. It was sooooo good. Betta ask somebody! And I bought The Fantastic 4 which is also a good movie. Im a movie buff as you can see. I am waiting for the 4 brothers to come out.

 

I am about to work on some ideas for Pearls of Wisdom. Its time we do more, and its time we reach out more, its time we pray on things more, its time we leave certain things out, and focus on Ministry. So, Im going to drop some ideas on the group and see what they say.

 

Well, Im about to close for now, but I will be back tomorrow,

The Race

First I want to say Thank you Lord for waking me up this morning to start a new day! Thank you Lord. When I woke up this morning that told me that you wanted me to be in the race one more day!
 

24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

 25Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. 27No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

 

  Yes that scripture tells me that I am still in the race! One more day.

Today was a good day. I was kinda irrated a little tho. I picked Neisha up from school, and we went to bath and body works to get my best friend Gloria this pretty purse with lotions inside. She loves purses, she will spend her last on a purse for real. So we goes in and I get the purse because I knew already what I wanted. And when I looked into the bag, I didn’t like the lotions they had for the purse. The purse is $36.00. So I asked the cashier if I can exchange the lotions for another kind and she said yes. So she went to get the lotions and when she came back she didn’t have the 4 oz bath lotions for it. So she asked her boss (white lady) if she can give me 2 , 2 ounce bath lotions for the 4 oz that she couldn’t find. She gon say nooooooooo Im sorry if we dont have it, then we cant substitute it. so IM like they still add up to 4oz. I was instantly heated. I turned my head and stood there, not giving her any eye contact. She wanted to stand there and tell me why she couldn’t do it. But then her gurl walks in and they stand there laughing and ha ha and hee heing. So I was like forget it! And I walked out the store. Tomorrow Im going back and Im going to get that set, even if I had to leave out the 4 oz lotions. I bet if  one of the ladies she was snickering with needed to do that, she would. I can see it in her face.

 Any way that set off my day at work. But after about an hour I was okay. A few people got on my nerves, acting dumb and slow. I worked the 12 items or less lane, and people were getting in my line talking about “I have 15 items can you take me’? I was sooooooooooooooooooo irrated! Cause thats not fair to the other people in line with 12 items or less. Then they get mad at me, cause my face balled up and Im not aruging with them. Thats what they want so they can go and tell on you. I can hear them now “May I see your manager’? What is your name? Can’t none of them customers tell on me, cause when I get mad at them, they gets NO eye contact, they get a receipt and a have a nice day! rofllll Hell if I say something they will be ready to tell on me, then if I look ugly in the face……………. what can they  say I said ? Nothing! What they gon tell I was making faces? haha Then the people who do have less then 12 items be looking at me like………….aint you gon say something to them? Please you can’t win for losing. You just have to learn to shut up, and have that face on, like…………let’s make this transaction real quick so you can roll up outta my line…….. “MAAM”. Ughhhh

This is a me me me world. Its all about me. People want things fast, right now, hurry up, get my lacta please now kinda world. Well, they got Credog messed up. This lady came through my line tonight (black) and had this walgreens coupon for $3.00 off some ink for a printer. I told the lady that we dont take Walgreens coupons. Then she was like “well I called the lady on the phone and she said yall take other peoples coupons”. And Im like we price match, and yes we take coupons, but we dont take coupons that say “Walgreens” on them. She kept on wanting to over power me talking. So I hit the switch on my register so a  CSM could come over. I aint hardly bout ta argg with this woman. I said gurllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll ( sho did) let me call somebody ova here. Cause we dont take these coupons and Im tired of trying to convince you we dont.

 So Mary came over and Im saying to myself, ( maam you really aint getting it now, cause Mary don’t play) Mary was like maam this says “Walgreens” then the lady says well dont  yall take coupons and we said yeahhhhhhhhha, paper coupons not something that clearly have another company name on it! She was like okay!

But see ,no matter what I do, I cant do nothing about how people think or act. Its up to me to act in a way that is pleasing to God and that’s it. Im not going to spend my days and nights trying to figure out why and how concerning people and their ways. Nope not Lacrease.

Last night I got a letter for a woman who has been through a lot in her life. And by reading it makes me want to walk a straight line into my blessings. Meaning to be grateful and to enjoy the life I already have. Rather its without   friends, without mom, a sister, brother, a husband, boyfriend, grand parents, nieces, nephews, cousins, and father. People are going through far worse than the next person. That letter taught me something spiritually. And thats to enjoy what you have, to enjoy whatever moment you are in, to enjoy the freedom of your fingers, and hands, the freedom of having your heart beat, and your mind on right, your legs to walk, your arms to hug, your eyes to see, your tongue to speak. It has open my eyes to see that my problems are so small compare to others, so with that said. Go out and live your life. No more foolish arguing, and going back and forth with people, debating, acting jealous, holding grudges, GET OVER IT! God has the power to take away everything that is hurting you.

That letter reminded me to get over it! It hit me hard it really did. I started thinking about the guy who molested me when I was a young gurl. What if I just couldn’t get over the fact that he did that to me. ( Which I have forgave him in my mind) what if he died. What would I do then? How would I feel? Would I feel happy that he is not alive ? How could that make me feel better? Get over it while he is alive, and Ill guarantee you, you’ll sleep better when he’s dead.

Last night I was watching TV and I saw on the news where this black lady and this white lady slept outside with some homeless people to raise awareness. And God knows it touched my heart, cause thats what I want to do soooooooo bad. And I am going to get my wish one day. I am going to work with homeless people, I believe that’s my calling. To walk pass them when they are outside begging and standing there cold. That just does something to me that is making me cry right now. God is rich, there is no reason at all for them to be out there like that. Our father is rich! He is rich, he owns all of this here in this world, why are they outside freezing cold, not wanting to live? Where are the families? How did they get like this? I would love to sit outside one night for a camp out, and hear the testimonies of those people. I rather do that, than sit up and hear a story of how many bedrooms are in your new million dollar house. And thats on everythang!

I want to wash the back of an older homeless woman , comb her hair and listen to her stories. Listen to her childhood life, and her good days. I want to wash her feet and massage her scalp as she brings back memories of a good life she once had. I want to braid her hair, and ask questions as to how she some how got disconnect and lost her way. Thats whats in my heart. Talking to people and holding a good conversations these days just turns me into a monster. I rather talk to a homeless person on a 10 degree night under blankets, than to talk to a woman who is complaning about her  life. It does nothing for me.

 I think about me sitting at home with my computer typing, and my 4 bedroom nice neighborhood house, with a car parked outside full of gas, just left a job, money in the bank, Christmas gifts stored all around the house, food in the refrigerator. It reminds me of how blessed I am. Sometimes with all my complaing I wonder if I deserve this. Im not saying I want to be homeless and Im not thankful for my life, its that what’s inside of me, thats burning to change the thinking of these people. I have it inside of  me through God. And one day I am going to have the opportunity to bring out this side of me. And Im going to lead people to God, and then they are going to be trained to be leaders and lead someone else to God. That’s what I want to do in this life. I wish I had lots of money. I would open up a center right here near me and have it for homeless people. Set up programs to get them back into the system. To help them with self esteem, and how to communicate with people, and do deal with past falls. Then get back out there and move moutains. God is a good God. He got it like that. He is our father, he is rich!

Daily Im learning that people are so out of touch. We don’t realize how grateful we are. We complain, and grumbling all day about nothing. And I’m the ring leader. But when I read of stories, and hear of things that are happening to other people and is skipping right pass my ungrateful a**. I get irrated. 911 skipped pass me, New Orleans skipped right pass me, death in my family skipped right pass me, war in Iraq family members fighting the war…..skip right pass me, Tsunami, ……skipped right pass me, car jackings and shootings in my family ……, skipped right pass me. Its time we give God some praise while the time is still light. Cause when it gets dark, woe on those who don’t know. Woe on those ungrateful, hateful, UN forgiving so and So.’s. The time is now, And this especially goes for me  the AUTHOR OF THIS BLOG!

I went out and bought Mr.& Mrs. Smith the DVD and the soundtrack, cause its off the chainnnnnnn. OMG. I aint loved a sound track like this since Diary of A Mad Black Woman. My favorite songs on here are Baby, baby, Lay lady Lay,  Mongo Bongo, and my number one song “The Assissin’sTango”. You better ask somebody about this baby! Its off the chain. I am in love with Brad Pitt. Brad’s and Angelina Jolie’s chemistry in this movie is nothing like I had ever seen. I hate that Brad and Jennifer broke up, but I don’t think that she can mess with this chemistry. I mean I’ve seen this movie at the movies, but now that I own it I have seen it about 3 times or more just at home. This movie is sexy and smart!

Me and Lori went to dinner last night at Texas Road House, we needed to hook up and chat. We use to work together, and she is ready to get serious about God. So she called me and we made dinner plans. I need to keep in touch with my friends, it should be that way. I don’t call people that much and I need to do it often. She has a new friend, he sounds like he’s a keeper. Go head Lori!

Neisha is cool, Nell is over, Im off tomorrow,. Im closing for now, so see ya later.
