Money can’t buy you everythang… LADY….Crees Blog Entry

kid to saveHeeeeey,

Its been a minute but ………IM HERE!!!!

I didn’t know why then, but ever since I was a young gurl I’ve always studied the behavior of people. I believe I did it because people would make me SO UPSET by the way they treated others. Instead of getting upset, I decided to STUDY why people did the things they did. This has also helped me to understand the thought process of a child. It is GOD GIVEN trust me, no school could ever teach me what God gave to me naturally. In having this gift it has helped me to understand what people go through, and how they come to the conclusion they do in life. With that said…. read this story.

This lady I work with she’s about 57 and has everything you can think of. She and her husband owns a night club, MANY rental properties, car wash, hair salon* aint no telling what else* they both drive nice trucks and have one grown son with a wife and family. I love this lady, and I truly don’t believe that she knows half the stuff she says that MAKES THE OTHERS want to scratch the chalk board non stop. LOL I have to write about her, because there are many others out there just like her. Its sad… so sad.. but hopefully this will make you ask yourself….Am I this woman?

My coworker wants EVERYTHING MONEY CANT BUY. Instead of her saying to herself…. Okay… I can buy that on my own, so I won’t take it… she will anyway. She says she does it because.. SHE PAYS TAXES AND HAVE A RIGHT TO get things free. Every month there is this fruit truck and many other things on it, that if you pull up, sign your name while they load up your car… its yours free. The school we work at is in a poor neighborhood and many people drive up and get these things because they need them. She asked me why aren’t you going to get a food box? I told her let people who need it get it, we don’t need it. I said there may be times in life when we may need it, and then you wont feel bad about having to get it. If she has to ever be in this position to have to get these things… I BET SHE WONT EVEN GET THEM.. BECAUSE SHE’S TOO PROUD. When you brag about things you have, and then they’re taken away from you… you feel bad about having to have to get it. But to take from those people who can’t afford it IS A DAYUM SHAME. That bothers me so bad. Then I ask her… what do you do what that stuff, because you don’t need it…. she says… “I give it to my son for my grandsons” *smh*

There is this counselor who dress very nice and every time my coworker sees her, she has to ALWAYS look at what she has on. One day she had on a nice blouse… I told her how pretty it was, don’t you know my coworker ASKED HER where she got it from, and then went out that SAME DAY and bought it? She came to work and talked about it nonstop. and I’m looking at her like are you serious? Friday, our security team ordered some wings from Coney island. My coworker was eating something she had just bought in from a restaurant. When she found out they were ordering food she asked them why didn’t yall ask me to order, they said they didn’t think about it and it would have not been a problem… she turned to me and said…. I’m going up stairs and getting one of those wings as soon as its delivered. And so I said to her…. why would you want a wing ding… she said because they didn’t ask me. WOW WOW WOW. She wants everything HER money cant buy at the time. I never met anyone like this.

We have these carrying cases for your books. And when the kids play games and win, they get it free as a prize. Well she ask one of the teachers can she have one, so they gave it to her. THEN SHE WANTED ANOTHER ONE FOR HER GRANDSON. This is so unreal to me. She can’t sit anything out. She has to have everything that’s not for sale. She asked me for mines, I TOLD HER NO, and I don’t even want mines. We have many different things going on at school, and when someone pulled out the schools camera…. she kept talking about how hers is just like it. It was a long nose Nokia. Now she’s going to bring hers to school. I’m looking at her like gurllllllllllllllllll this is not that serious. The others are fed up with her…. but to me… she’s interesting.

But this is the biggest. The women and men who works in the kitchen often times take home food before it goes bad. And since it can’t be heated or re cooked, they’ll give it away, take it home, or throw it out. She feels that SINCE SHE AND HER HUSBAND PAY MORE TAXES THAN EVERYONE ELSE, THAT …. she’s entitled to have the privileges of taking home food like the kitchen workers. The nerve of her. What they do in the kitchen has nothing to do with her. And what burns her up so bad, is that they ALWAYS ask me what do I WANT? They tell me “Sunshine you don’t have to pay for anything, if you want something TELL ME”. She gets SO mad, and ask what about me? She don’t get that nobody likes when she sit up and brag, when she want some of everything everybody has because she cant buy it. When they call me PRIVATELY in the kitchen…. she watches me like a hawk. She wants to know what they said to me, what are they giving me… then when I come out with something she doesn’t EAT.. she’ll say… I DON’T EAT THAT MESS. But when I come out with something good and she wants it… she’ll say… I’m going back there to see if they have any thing left… I WANT SOME TOO. Her facial expression is ANGRY…. just because they didn’t ask her for anything. Then she’ll pout if she sees all of them eating together and they not offer her FREE LUNCH. One day I bought several kids some candy bars for helping me out….. when one of the students didn’t come to school, she asked me could she have the SNICKER. It killed her that I bought candy bars for the students and not have one for her. IT KILLED HER TO SEE ME PASSING THEM OUT. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!

I came to the conclusion just by listening to her and not dismissing her behavior. She loves her life, but she’s very ungrateful. She loves to brag, and if someone says that something is nice and pretty… she’ll make sure to run out and get it…..and tell you about it in the morning. She won’t admit how blessed she is until someone shows up and have something she can’t buy….. NO MATTER WHAT. She brags about what she has, and she TRIES HER BEST TO gets things that CANT BE BOUGHT OR SOLD.

Are you this person? Just because something is free doesn’t mean you have to be apart of it, especially if you don’t need it. Save it for those who do. Let people see what you have… DONT BRING IT UP… Keep some things to yourself…. everybody don’t have to know your business just because its true. New Living Translation
Get wisdom; develop good judgment. Don’t forget my words or turn away from them. Proverbs 4:5

Where works of the flesh exists, there is NO joy

New Level~ 2011

Today is Jan 1, 2011. 2011, is like a New sheet of paper, its up to you what you write in it.
 
I can sit here and say that I have truly learned a lot in 2010. I’m not a person who complain often, or even dwell on the past, but I will say this….. I do not have a hard time moving on from anyone and anything. That’s one that I ABSOLUTLY LOVE about myself. I can move on and never look back * that’s the part that scares me*. And when I say never look back, ……..I mean NEVER look back.
 
God has really shown me a lot lately. I’m in a place where I’m listening and learning, watching and growing. Sometimes I talk so much that I really don’t see the big picture that’s going on in my life. But a lot of things I do see, I just play “dumb” to it, just to not get question on it. That’s gotta stop this year too. If I don’t want to comment on it, then I won’t. Sometimes its easier to say ” nope I didn’t see that, or nope I didn’t hear that”. God fills me in on a lot, and if I want him to continue to do that, he wants me to listen. For these last few months, OMG……. its unreal what I see and know. I want control of all situations that has everything to do with me. And God is showing me, you are “not the plant manager of your life La’Crease”, “you are not the boss of your life La’Crease”, and for me to just sit back and listen. Man…… I’m so quiet sometimes, it scares me. LOL
 
But guess what? I’m finding out the little I say, is a lot, just because it came from ME. LOL Listen, God showed me this one day recently……A little over a week, I was at my register, had just turned off my light because it was time to go home, I had a few more customers, and my shift was over. One of the managers come out of the office behind me and flicked my light back on, as he tried so HARD to walk away quickly, but I caught him!!!! I looked at him, with this look……… before I even knew it *lol* he smiled and I said Nah unnnnn, I’m leaving for the day. I went to punch out and was telling one of my other co-workers about it, didn’t he tried to do her the same way? Well, the very next day, people were coming up to me saying I heard what happened about such and such and him trying to turn back on your light. And I’m saying to myself……….. how the hell did you know that? That’s when he showed me that when I, La’Crease say something its a “OMG CREE said that? But let someone else had told that same story, it wouldn’t get pass 1 person. I didn’t say anything, I just allowed God to show me that. I have to watch what I say at all times. This happens to me all the time, when I say something its Gold…..That’s why I don’t like gossip. If I say anything about someone, trust me its good. When I’m confronted on it, its all good. I’m not saying anymore about it in a good way, than the next person who likes it as well.
 
Anyway………
 
This year I’m going to be more visual when it comes to my blog entries. Also when it comes to Teaching, and Ministry
* Raisingurls*, IM GOING HARD!!! Like you’ve never seen before. I’m going to use real life examples, scriptures, and common sense. The truth will never come off as arrogant, unless you don’t believe it.
 
I’m closing for now. Have a Blessed New Year!!!
