Dear God

Praise God for these days.
 
Lord, last week was  a very trying week. You showed me just how strong I am. Never knew I had that in me. It amazes me that in the midst of what I was going through, you REMINDED me of your word, and most importantly the words I said to you, when * things were good*. I had to remember those words and use them in my time. And I laugh, I laugh Lord because you make me laugh even through all that I went through. I am stronger than I thought I was, and by showing me that……. is all I needed to see.
 
The things that you tell me in advance, sometimes I feel like I can’t handle them, but I CAN, its just that I don’t like to see some of it come to past. But you know what Lord, truth is the truth and it will always stand. I Love you for looking out for me, and for the LOVE you show me.
 
You know my prayers, I have turned it all over to you, I am not thinking or worrying about anything, what ever is your WILL ……….. let it be done. I can doing other things, while you work behind the scenes for me.
 
Lord, just please show me how to handle the things you tell me in advance. Sometimes I don’t always know how to deal with it when it come to pass. I’m use to you telling me so much, but I don’t always handle the situation/issue/blessing the right way. Sometimes I blow up, sometimes, I’m quiet, sometimes I do even want to talk to the person anymore, and sometimes I handle it properly. For someone to have so much information ahead of time, you would think by now I would have them down pack, but I don’t.
 
For example today. You told me something and it came to past, and I kinda feel bad. Going to bed, feel like crying. I love you Lord, we’ll talk later.
 
Good Night

God is SERIOUS ( about forgiving)

Sisters~ Tyesha,Bianca
 
Hey,
 
I’m sitting here reading my Bible tonight, and came across a few interesting examples of how serious God is about forgiving others. This is one of the reasons why I love reading the stories in the bible because you get to see how God is and how he interacted with REAL PEOPLE from the Bible. The stories are REAL, and not only that, its written in words that WE ALL can understand. All you have to do is VISION it in your head, or do what I do, with each word I read, I “video tape it” and make up people to play the parts.
 
I want you all to read the Scriptures below and actually visualize it in your mind. God is VERY SERIOUS about forgiving others. Someone can do something so wrong in our minds, and that’s fine, BUT GOD MAKES IT CLEAR, that you can go to work, play with your family and pets, go out to dinner with your friends, make love to your husbands and wives, cook dinner, and enjoy all the good things in LIFE. BUT FORGIVING, is something God takes seriously. So read this and be VERY AFRAID if you have not forgiven someone. THIS IS NOT FOR YOU, if you can/will/and have NO problems doing so, but for others, READ AND TAKE THIS AS A WARNING.
The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant

 21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive someone who sins against me? Up to seven times?”  22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.[a]

   23 “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold[b] was brought to him. 25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.

   26 “The servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.

   28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins.[c] He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.

   29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’

   30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened.

   32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.

   35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive a brother or sister from your heart.”

 

Matthew 18:21-35

This Scripture is saying……DONT WORRY ABOUT IT  , I got you BOO, you dont have to pay me anything. I understand that you don’t have it, I’ll have mercy on you and cancel your debt. You, and your family go home, its taken care of.

 

 Then that same man , go out, see someone who OWES HIM money, and demand he pay it. So the other guy finds out and says…. Ummmm excuse me… but how are you gonna snatch homeboy up cause he owe you money, but you were the same one BEGGING ME to give you more time? How bout I snatch you up, TORTURE YOU, ANDDDD send you to JAIL JUST LIKE YOU SENT HIM!!! Now how bout that!

God talks with LaCrease

Lord Thank you for another day. Lately I’ve had a lot of time to reflect on my life since May of last year with the things that made me “Seek first the Kingdom of God”. You told me to do one thing…… and that’s watch what I say. I didn’t understand what you meant, because my intent is to never hurt anyone’s feelings. But that wasn’t what you were trying to tell me. And for the last few months, you have really shown me what you meant. It’s so deep, and just to think that sometimes I talk so much * not bad* that I never knew that people take my words to heart, to be truth, to the ends. And if my words are not clear, it can go south and that would be the end.
 
For the past month or so, I have been going to work being quiet, just doing my work and leaving the building. My boss came up to me and she said, ‘ I know you don’t like such and such, but I have good news, she will be such and such such and such. I looked at her and GOD SAID DONT SAY ONE WORD…. and I’m saying to myself God let me defend myself, BECAUSE I DIDNT SAY THAT!!! He said, be quiet and listen. After she told me “the big news” she told me NOT to tell anyone * she knows that I wont*, I said okay and she walked away. I stood there doing my work, saying to myself, I DIDNT TELL HER THAT!! Then God said, LaCrease you may not have said you didn’t like her, but in a conversation you come off strong, and since you didn’t make yourself clear, its out there, that you don’t like/care for this person. Oh, that killed me to let her leave me and she believed that I said that. God said to me La’Crease your words have power, and when people talk to you, they listen, you have to be careful of your words, your facial expression,  and your body language. Can you imagine how hard that is for me?
 
Lately, I’ve been wanting to post my comments on certain things, and I hear God loud and clear, DO NOT RESPOND TO THAT POST!!!! Oh it gets me. I don’t respond either. Same with Facebook. I have been knowing these 2 sisters for over 25 years, and they aren’t talking to each other, I posted something on my board about forgiveness, and one sister responded, and then the other, then the first one responded after hers, then the mother comes and respond. They set my post OFF!!! The sister is mad at the mother and her 4 sisters.  I DID NOT KNOW THAT. So the one sister THINKS that I knew this and posted on the topic * I haven’t talked to her since Christmas*, and so she decides to set off my page, thinking I KNEW that SHE wasn’t talking to her WHOLE FAMILY. SMH.Then the sister I’m close to, sends me a private message saying that God used me to post that message, because she knew that I didn’t know this was going on, and that she glad it was posted because she knew God lead me. I feel bad for what’s going on in their family, but I came to the conclusion that I won’t let the fact that I am FRIENDS with people, stop me from posting what’s in my heart, and what God leads me to post. Again, I wanted to post and say something to the one sister, but GOD SAID NO!
 
Sometimes, when I’m expressing myself, things come out that are true but at the same time, I feel that I share too much. And you know how people gossip and can’t wait to tell something? Well, that’s not me, I tell to much of what’s good. That’s what God is telling me. I get excited and start talking, and these last few months God has really muffled my mouth, and when I’m quiet I get to see the whole conversation without me adding anything to it. And I like that.
 
A few weeks ago, my coworker was telling me about someone she knew who was gunned down, and the more she told the story I was saying to myself, this story sound familiar. When she got to the name of the person, I knew I had heard the story before. Just before I was about to say ” I knew him”, God said DONT SAY A WORD!!! I listened to that whole conversation without saying a word of how I knew this person, or anything. And God is not trying to keep me from communicating , I KNOW THIS, he is trying to get me to understand that its okay to not comment on everything, to NOT feel obligated to do so, to sometimes JUST LISTEN, to be able to let a conversation pass my ears and not have anything to say about it. Because ( MY) LACREASE words has power. I am a person with Integrity and Character and people seem to remember everyyyyyyyyyyything that I say. And a lot of what I say is misunderstood, and if I don’t know that it’s NOT CLEAR TO THAT PERSON, then I wont know to “fix it” I don’t have time to go back and correct all my conversations.
 
One day this lady bought some CD’s and when she got to her car, she couldn’t find them. So she came back into the store and accused me of giving them to the person who was behind her, because she can’t find them in her bags. I told the lady to go back out to the car and look one more time, she went off on me, saying she wasn’t going to do that, and that she knew that it wasn’t in there. So my manager comes over and tries to calm the lady down, this makes her even madder and at this point she’s going off on me. I’m getting pissed because I know those CD’s were in her bag because I walked around and put them in her cart. Then the store manager tries to calm her down, and at this point I’m really on fire. They tell her to go back and look in the car while they review the tape, make a long story short, the lady never returned. She FOUND THE CD’S. I’m upset, but I have customers so I have to be the Leader that I am, and take care of my business, I wasn’t that moved by her.
 
 Later on that day I post on my FB, Thank God for the armor and prayer this morning for work, because this lady went off on me so bad. Didn’t I get to work the next morning, and  the person who handled the case yesterday comes up to me and says: LaCrease that lady must have really bothered you yesterday, I read your post. I looked at her and GOD SAID DONT SAY A WORD…. I wanted to say, you missed the whole point of the post. The point of the post was that I PRAYED FIRST, I PUT ON THE ARMOR OF GOD.That prayer slowed down my anger. She was so focused on what happened that she missed that. But I did say, just because I smile everyday doesn’t mean things don’t bother me. I said I have bad days too, can I please have this 1% of  complaint? I said now I would be wrong, If I complained to you the 99% of stories telling of how people get on my nerves. I said let me have my 1%! Whew……….
 
Then I go through the issue of knowing something and not saying anything about it. LOL  A few days ago a friend was telling me something, and I knew about it, but I didn’t say anything I just listened, well just so happened the person who told me came and joined in, LOL and while I’m sitting there quiet, the person who told me said. Cree I shared this story with you……… and the person who was telling me said WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME YOU KNEW? LOL  I said because it was your story. LOL Had I said……. Oh such and such already shared it with me, then you probably would be looking crazy. Like how you know? LOL
 
So, yes this is where God has me at this time in my life. And you know God knows what’s best for me, he’s teaching me something, and the funny part is, ITS DAILY. Everyday I have to be quiet about something. LOL A person like me who is big on communication, this really shuts me DOWN!!!
 
In closing of this blog entry…… I will post this Scripture.

1 Peter 3:3-4 ESV / 12 helpful votes

Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.

“I’m not trying to win the approval of people,

The Apostle Paul was a Misfit who wrote in Galatians 1:10, “I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.”

 

I’m sitting here thinking about how people are. They are just so funny ( not in a good way).

 

 There are so many people who need Ministering too. There use to be a time when I would listen to the same old stories from the same ole people. Always want me to help analyze their situation. I’m not doing that anymore. I get emails DAILY,  from people who ask me questions to help them in their personal lives. They really need to vent, and talk things out. Some  need me to pray for them. I LOVE doing that. This is who I am.

I’m not “shooting the breeze” with anyone of you who have been knowing me for 10 years or more, unless you really need me. I refuse to let anyone  in my square who wants to waste my time talking ABOUT NOTHING!!! That wears me out!!! You will never use my couch again HOMEBOY……….sorry. As soon as your relationships are over, here you come, so what do you want me to say and do? I don’t care if you bought 19 brand new Corvettes, and 1 pink monkey. I will NEVER open my door to see them, and stop blowing my phone up cause I’m not going to answer. Get “yo self” together and leave La’Crease alone. I’ve been listening to that same old story off and on, since the 12 years I met you in. UGHH…. You have used your time up with me, your therapy sessions are over!!! There are people who need my attention, and they will surely NOT get it, if you’re in my presence. I’m done!! It’s a wrap…. can’t do it, won’t do it. See ya on Judgement Day!!!

 

Yes, I’m going hard! GURL…..Stop talking about who did what to you in the past, is that the only way you know how to move forward? Is that your motivation for the good you do? You must enjoy being a victim. It must feel good, it helps you in some kinda way, if so that’s fine, but when you keep on putting it out in the atmosphere it looks a mess. Shut up with that!!! So, I guess that’s the lining of your conversations huh? Okay…… soon and soon enough…. you too will be DELETED!  You think you’re slick… haha its gonna kill you when you won’t know anything I do. If, I don’t know how to do anything else in this world, I know how to get rid of people who mean me NOTHING but evil thoughts, and in trouble with God. Start counting boo, cause your days are numbered as well!!!

 

 Everyday, I see why I have to “ride solo”. I see why people have done things to me that is UNACCEPTABLE, and that was God’s way of removing them from my life. I see why, I see why, I see why. God is picking people up outta my life and removing them. Here I was sitting here wondering “why are you taking my friends away God? I SEE WHY… GOOD BYE!! TOO needy, TOO time-consuming, TOO Drama Queenish. SEE ALL YALL!! I’m about to go hard in Ministry, and I’m not stopping to put on NO BAND-AIDS, betta have one in your “backpack”. I’m not baby sitting EGOS any longer. 

 

People I have been knowing forever is mad at me because I won’t sit up on the phone and listen to idle mess anymore. And then when I give them a Godly solution, they don’t want to hear that. OH WELL, I gotsta go!!! If you  feel God can’t help you, …..what can I do? I don’t have time!!!! Goodness, why do it have to come to this? Things, issues, and situations change. We are not 14 and 15 anymore. I’m not doing it!!! Nope!

The last straw….

I love to listen to music when I write, so click this video as you read my story.

The last straw….

Ten years ago, I was seeing this guy who I really liked. He was funny, loved to talk, love to do things that I liked. He called me all the time, and I did the same. I never wondered or even saw signs of him with other women. When I met him he was separated, and had his own apartment. I enjoyed going over to his house, and he was at my place often. But at some point and time, he stared acting strange, differently. He didn’t come over as much, he seemed some what distant. This was really a change for me. When I would ask him what’s up with him, he would tell me “nothing”. I’m cool.

 One night, I woke up about 5 am in the middle of the night. I just couldn’t shake this feeling about him. He was on my mind heavy. I promised myself that I wouldn’t go back to the old “LaCrease” and start acting crazy. I was something different back in my 20′s, and I knew that I had came a long way. But it was something about this guy that I really loved, and I thought that I had everything under control. I sat at the edge of the bed wondering if I should slip on some pants and go by his wife house.

 

I had God in one ear, and Satan in another. I decided to over rule God and slip on some clothes, grabbed my car keys, and I was out!!!!  I remember clear as day everything that night. His wife lived about 3 minutes from me. I was on my way to her house to see if his car was in her driveway. I was doing top speed,  the closer I got to her house, the more I wanted to know if my suspensions were right. I turned down her block and there was his car pulled up in the drive way as if “he lived there”.

 

I was devastated….

 

I drove off slowly and in shock. I can still look back and remember no signs of this about to happen to me. I drove home shock, devastated , I wanted to drive my car up the median. I was driving so slow, I was in a daze. I got home and sat on the edge of the bed. I kept asking myself how could I be so dumb? How could I allow myself to go through this again? How could I have thought that he wouldn’t go back to his wife at some point? He had every right too, he was married. Even though he had to go to God and ask for forgiveness for his relationship with me, he had every RIGHT and reason to want to go back and make his marriage work. I had no place in that at all.

 

As I sat on the bed, I began to cry. Because after something like this. I cant trust him to be with me. Who am I? I knew this was over. I didn’t even look at him the same. So what, he had his own place, so what he was separated and with me for over a year, so what, he spent a lot of time with me. So what, so what, so what!!! This man had every right to go back to his wife, when he got good and ready too. So, I had to make up in my mind to cut him loose.

 

As, I sat on the bed, I went into my night stand and grabbed the rest of my Absolute Vodka that I had from a night that my friends and I drank at a cabaret. I didn’t want to die at that point, but I did want to numb my pain. I decided that I was going to drink the rest of Vodka down, and don’t stop until the bottle was empty. And then I wanted to lay across my bed and pass out from everything I was feeling. I didn’t want to deal with any of it. Not how stupid I was feeling, how played I felt, how many signs I missed. I just wanted to tap myself on my wrist and feel absolutely NOTHING!!

 

I grabbed the bottle by the neck and threw it down my throat. All of a sudden I started chocking, I couldn’t catch my breath. I was gasping for air, my whole life was flashing before me. I was done with the bottle, but I couldn’t breathe. I tried standing up, I tried to focus, I tried to calm down, but nothing was working. I could NOT breathe. All while I was going through this. I could hear God saying to me ( cant remember the exact words, but it something to this). You better get it together, you betta get up from here and live! You have your daughter, and you have yourself to live for. Just then, I was able to breathe. I was sitting around crying and glad that I didn’t die. I was DRUNK!! God said now lay down and go to sleep!!!  He was angry with me and I knew it.

 

That very next day. I was depressed and didn’t want to eat, sleep, work, cook, or even spend time with Neisha. I just wanted to lay around. That very day I had made up in my mind that I was going to get over him. I made up in my mind that I wasn’t going to take any phone calls from him because it was going to either…. A. make me want him even more and “relapse” or B. start to hate him, something I didn’t want to do. After a week I was doing good. He hadn’t called, and I hadn’t called him either. I was still laying in the bed, all I did was work, cook for Neisha and slept. I didn’t want to do anything. After those 2 weeks were up. I was feeling good. It took some time, but I got over him!!! Praise God!!! Thank you Jesus!!!

 

I shared my testimony with you all, JUST TO GET TO THIS POINT.  Sistergurls, LOVE YOURSELF. Know when its over. Know when its time to count the time and loss that you spend in the relationship. Its okay….. because if you leave in time, you’ll leave with your mind. If this didn’t work out for you, the person God has for you is still out there. How can you get to that person, if you’re still crying and chasing the wind *man*. God knows and has what’s best for us. He knows us better than we know ourselves. We have to trust that God made a man designed just for us.

 

Listen Sistergurls. I want you to stop for a moment, and visualize my next words. Make a mental Video………….Imagine yourself walking around wearing a size 6 shoe, when you really wear a size 10 wide?  Does that make sense to you?  Well, that’s how it is having the wrong man in your life. The shoe doesn’t LOOK good. It doesn’t feel RIGHT. It doesn’t FIT. In order to get some relief, you have to take that WRONG shoe off. Now, would you put it back on? Okay, so now that you have this  WRONG shoe off your feet, you have to find the SHOES  that fits you………Right? Well, this is how is with a man. You have to find the MAKER ( GOD) so that HE can pair you up with the right SHOE (MAN). We can’t just walk around wearing the wrong shoes. LOL God made us all, he knows what kinda shoes ( man) we want and desire. He has that man set aside for us. Now understand too, that everyone doesn’t get married in this life time, just as every bird doesn’t always fly. But we can pray and have hope, that there is someone out there for us.

 

We have to have patience with God. We have to want HIS WILL for us. He can bring this man in our lives when he gets ready. Let me share with you some things that you can do in your “meantime”.

 

Spend time in your bible. Even if you read a page a day. Make it a do or die moment.

 

Play gospel music DAILY in your house. Sing them with your kids. Let them learn/hear the song.

 

Don’t be afraid to ask God questions. Ask him what is it that he wants you to do in your lifetime. Ministry speaking.

 

Pray DAILY. Praying is just having  regular conversations. Talk to God as if he was sitting in the same room.

 

Go to a quiet place and talk to him. Maybe take a drive, go to the river, sit on your back porch ( where people cant disturb you), take a bath, go in the attic or basement, take a walk. Its very peaceful, and once you start to do this daily, you will not  LET ANYONE DISTURB YOUR TIME WITH HIM. It will be something that you don’t want anyone to DISRESPECT.

 (New International Version) Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” 22 Then you will defile your idols overlaid with silver and your images covered with gold; you will throw them away like a menstrual cloth and say to them, “Away with you!” Isaiah 30  

 Be Blessed

Newness!

HEY!!!!

Praise God for a brand new day, a day that no one has ever seen. A day to get it together within!!! When I opened my eyes this morning, the first thing I said to myself is….. Thank God my eyes, I can see.

 So much is going on with me, where do I start? All good.

 

Mar’Neisha went to Ohio with her dad, aunt, and Step Sister, yesterday evening to visit her family till Monday. She was very angry with him yesterday morning. Oh my goodness. I had never known her to get so angry…. ever. He told her that they were pulling out of Detroit around noon. I was at work, and while I was in the bathroom… “something” told me to text her and see have they left yet, cause I know her dad, he will tell you he’ll be at your house ( because he’s “down the street”) in one minute, and he’ll  get there in 30. Neisha is that Virgo that likes to be on time NO EXCEPTIONS!!! I’m that Virgo that will be saying, here I come, here I come,  give me one mo mintue…… about 20 times. LOL So, when she text me back, she was soooooo angry because she called him and said… look dad it’s after 12 what’s up? He said I’m doing this job, we’ll pull out around 4ish 5 ( they end up leaving around 7ish ). She asked him why didn’t he call everybody that’s riding with him and tell them? I dunno what he said, but she had to called her aunt, and Step Sister and tell them about the change. Then she texted and told me, that she didn’t want to have flash backs of her waiting for him to pick her up as a child. OMG… I never knew she felt that way….. at all. I  had to called my baby to put things in order. I told her to pray about it, and ask God to take away the bad thoughts she has having, she was crying. I felt so bad for her. He does this a lot to her/everybody!! All the time. He use to do me like that. I know him like a book. She just has to learn that if she is going to deal with him when it comes to family functions and traveling, she has to not let it get to her. She already knows how he is. I told her you need to make up in your mind, if you’re going to deal with him when it comes to trips? They travel to Ohio and Atlanta about 5 times a year. But still he is her dad, and as a mother, I’m not going to let her carry anger around with her. I asked her is it that you wanted to go to Ohio so badly, she said No ma, it’s the fact that I had to call HIM and ask him why isn’t he here yet.She says he does this all the time. She said we all got up at 7 ish in the morning and we were all at home waiting. I got that. After I calmed her down and talked with her, we hung up and I sat on my break in Subway thinking, should I text him and let him know that he needs to stop having ppl wait on him every trip they take? God was like NOPE, don’t do it. She is 23 and can talk to her dad in her own way. That is an issue that she needs to talk with him on if they are going to travel together. It was hard, but I put the phone down and let it go. When I got home, I told her I wanted to text him, she said NO MA you didn’t do you? I said no, and she was happy. LOL But when he finally finished and came to get her and her step sister from at my house, she was madddd at him!!! He said Lacrease, she’s mad at me aint she? LOL I said yep, you’re gonna have to fix this one yourself boo!!! LOL Its very seldom Neisha gets angry, but when she does its hard for her to forgive right away. I don’t like that about her. I can forgive instantly. She will ignore you, like you are not in the room. I can’t. She text me last night when she got there and I asked her did they talk on the way there, and she said a little. I told her to neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr allow herself to get on that level of anger again, forgive him, but learn your own lesson from it. Whatever that is!

 

Last night after I got off work, I came home and read the whole book of Job. Took me hours,  becuse of phone calls, emails, dinner, and quick naps. lol I read the bible daily on-line as well. I love that because it gives you a little at a time to read without feeling overwhelmed. Okay, I’m about to ramble because I need to be getting dressed to go to dinner with my momma @ 5… its 4:32. She woke me up this morning saying, Lets go out to dinner today, just me and you. I LOVE IT!!!! MY SISTERS ARE GOING TO BE JEALOUS. HAHAHA And my momma made me a banana pudding 3 days ago. They would burn my house down if they knew that. ROFLLL. I begged my momma not to tell them, cause if they knew they would come ova and “tear the club up”. Then my nieces and nephews love it, OH LAWD I WOULD HAVE A FIT, seeing all of them going in the cabinet grabbing bowls. LOL ME and my momma ripped that bowl of  HOMEMADE banana pudding apart!! Baaaaaaaaby when I say, we “tore the club up”…….. please believe it. HAHAHAHA (my spooky laugh).

 

 

My coworker ( white lady) lost her boyfriend a few days ago, tomorrow is the funeral. She is the one who keeps me uplifted at work, prays with me there, and for me. She gives me a word from God, and she always knows when something is on my mind. Ahhhh, she is soooo intuned with me. She’s around her early 50’s. I feel bad because I thought her close Walmart gurl Ms. Denise, would send a card around, and she probably did/would, but she wasnt at work yesterday. The bad part is, I hate that I didn’t do it. I waited for somebody else to do it, when I should have done it. She approached me yesterday as I was leaving for the day and said, Sat is the funeral, please keep me in your prayers. I looked into her eyes and wondered why wasnt I passing a card for her. SMH. Gotta boss up my Awareness. My other co-worker who I talk about God with, she came to me and ask for a few dollars, I gave them to her, and when I got home. I sat at my kitchen and began to pray for her, to pray for her finances.  She’s having a hard time right now, and I feel for her. AT first I was going to put it off till later, but I can hear God telling me to go ahead NOW. So, I did. Dont yall know the very next day I went to work, and when my co-worker saw me walk into the door she told me after I punch in to come here. I did. She told me that when I walked into the door JUST NOW, she got chills when she saw me. She said so deep that it bought tears to her eyes. She said last night she had this dream that God blessed us both financially, like bless us GOOD!!!! And instantly I thought about how I wasnt going to pray until God told me o do it! Now, had I not prayed, I would have been feeling pretty stupid as she was telling me what she dreamed about. LOL I said God you could have picked her and any of the 200 plus co workers to be in that dream with her, but you chose me. I said I’m so glad that I was Obedient!!! When I prayed for her…………. I prayed for myself as well !!! I told her about my prayer and she teared up while ringing up a customer. I see there is still  a lot for me to learn 🙂 

 

 

 I am so behind on my movies……… I wanna see my gurl Angelina Jolie in Salt this weekend.Been kinda broke lately. At least all my bills are paid. Thats all that matters. Been paying my Tithes for 12 weeks straight in a row, just as God told me. No cutting corners, paying him first off the top!!!  My August is jammed pack. August 14, I’m going to a wedding!! Been waiting for this one for a while. August 21, my good friend is having a Gurls Night at her house,  and on August 28, about 45 of my Anita Baker friends are coming into town. There are so many of us. WE have hotels booked, and we are having dinner Sat just before the concert. I’m excited. My money better be looking alright!! LOL My Sistergurls group is going strong. It’s just hard to get women to open up and chat. I made the group private. But when they chat…….. they chat, so that’s good. There are 41 of us, if I could only get half to open up. So, I started thinking, wait………… I don’t have to do this work all by myself. I sent out an email to the group asking for others to help post Scriptures, videos, testimonies and 4 ppl replied. I told them what I wanted/vision. And today is the 3rd day. So that’s a plus. People want to talk about baby daddy’s, and bad men all the time. I don’t. Thats not where I’m going. Anyway……….. I’m about to get dressed for dinner , and I’ll post this weekend!!

Thank you Lord!!!

Thank you Lord for this day!!! I had a marvelous time on the Detroit River ( Belle Isle Park) this morning with you. I shall be out there again tomorrow morning. I enjoyed how you drew my attention to the seagulls who were chasing that one  for his food!! OMG that was the cutest “show” I have ever seen. They were willing to get hit by a car, truck, it didn’t matter tryna catch him and eat the food he found. He end up dropping a piece flying away from them.LOL I had never seen anything like it, they were on his tail. LOL It was funny too. So, I Thank you for that.

My day…. July 12, 2010.

Hey Sweety Babies!!! ( My greeting to people I meet)

 

Ah where do I start? First I have got to Thank Jesus for blessing me and for loving me no matter what!!! No matter how crazy I am, ( hehe) he stills show me that I’m still in the running. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7 (New International Version)

 

 

 Today was a good day!!! I had to work this morning. Before work, I had to go to my bank @ 9 o’clock because those “doe doe birds” TRIED TO GET ME!!! Oh yea, they tried to get “ThatgurltheycallCree” LOL! Check this out. I had 3 purchases on my account that posted on-line at home AS SOON AS I SWIPED MY CARD….. Okay….. which was on the 6th. On the 7th I didn’t swipe my card at all. On the 8th was pay-day and I have direct deposit. Well, ( clears throat) on THEIR screen, my transactions for the 6th never posted until IN BETWEEN TIMES OF MY DIRECT CHECK DEPOSIT. But on mines it did. As, I was on my way to bed, I decided that I was going to go on-line pay my tithes to get that off the top. I said wait…….. let me check my balance first. I checked it and my direct deposit was there. I made the transaction to my Church on-line. On check day much later , I went to check my balance on my account and it showed that they took out 3 over draft fees for $33.00 each!!! I was like Noooooooo they didn’t. The next day I went to one of their branches, and the 2 ladies that where there said they couldn’t even EXPLAIN THIS TO ME, and for me to go to my own bank branch where I signed up at 6 years ago. This was Saturday. That meant I had to wait till today/Monday.

 Before I went in the bank, I had to have a pep talk with myself in the car, because I’ll get upset when they start talking dumb to me.  When another agent hears what has happened, they love to come over and try to explain *gang up on me* and help the original agent HELP me to understand. lol She looked at my account and told me that the reason why it went into overdraft was because when I made my transaction for the ones on the 6th, it didnt post at that time.  I said well, it posted on my screen on line!!! So when I paid my Tithes, that amount took up the amount I had left, making the 3 trans actions that happened 3 DAYS BEFORE HAND……….OVERDRAFT. And Im looking and saying to her  in my COUNTYIEST VOICE * What was that now*? I said how is that a transaction can post immediately  thats way higher than the 3 that was DONE 2 days ago, and make my account overdraft? She was looking so crazy, so guess you know………. the lady in the booth ova from us comes over and try to explain to me what happened.  * See, I told yall*  Im cool, Im listening. Then they both look at my account and say: Lets call ( over the phone)  such and such, she may be able to explain this. They called this person, brief her, and then she tried to run it down to me. She said not once were you in the negative when you made your transactions. She said, but whenever you use your direct deposit, make sure you do it after 5:00am.  She says what happened doesnt happen often, but we have seen it a time before. I wonder how many times they do this to old people? This is not FAIR!!!! She ran me back my “chips”  THO and thats all that mattered!!

 

My Sister who is under me had to have surgery @ 11:00 am. She was told by her doctor that she had a clog artery and that they wanted to perform surgery to clear it. She was nervous, so was our whole family. I can’t take any kind of issues like this. I go crazy mentally… I really do. So today I was kinda nervous. Just the fact  dealing with her heart and stuff, I’m not cool with that at all. Her husband was with her today, I went to work and I said a prayer for her last night and today while driving to work. I don’t like to show what I’m going through on my face at all. I can be dealing with 50 issues and only those who know me., would know something is wrong.  I don’t want to discourage anyone, who needs to talk with me. After I said my prayer for  my Sister, I felt good, I had Peace. I knew that God wanted me to let him take care of it, for me not to worry and to continue working.

 

 

Then this white lady came through my line, she had to be about 47 somewhere up in there. When she walked up to my register, I had my head down. When I  looked up into her EYES to greet her, I was taken back by a STRONG BURDEN. I FELT A STRONG SENSE OF BURDEN ON HER. I had never felt anything like it before. Instantly, I said whats wrong, are you okay? She looked at me with a very, very humble voice and shook her head ( don’t remember if she was shaking it yes or no.) Um um, I knew something wasnt right with her. The burden she was carrying was so strong, I can actually feel it. That’s deep to me. The moment I looked into her eyes, I FELT IT. So, I’m ringing her up trying not to look at her, thinking I have got to say something, I can’t as a Christian let her leave here the way she came. God, said LaCrease when you are done, go around and hug her, and while you are there let her know that if she believes God will lift her burden it will be. I couldn’t finish ringing fast enough. Then people started lining up behind her, and I was like dang…………. should I do it? Then for a split  second, I thought about JUDAS . Don’t ask… lol That flash back was enough. I never NOT planned on hugging and talking to her, but when I saw other people, I starting thinking okay, should I keep ringing to get the line down? Then I thought naw, I’m doing this!!! I finished her transaction, and I caught her totally off guard when I walked around from my register to embrace/hug her, INSTANTLY she started crying. Imma cry baby, so I told myself “YOU WILL NOT CRY LACREASE” LOL I hugged her so tight, I said God will lift this burden off your shoulder if you just let him. I told her that she had to BELEIVE IT!!!! I told her she has NO BUSINESS carrying around  BURDEN this BIG!!! She didn’t tell me what it was, and I didn’t want to know. Her Burden was the biggest I have ever felt. She was a woman very very humble, and very little words. She cried and cried and cried. She wasnt expecting that at all. Thats why when people come into my life to Minister to me, and they don’t know me, or they have a word for me, I listen. I may not understand it at the time, but  YOU BETTA BELIEVE that I’m going to be in prayer about it because IT ALWAYS COME TO PAST!!! EVERYTIME. And if I am out here Ministering to others, I want them to know that these words come from God not me. It’s not always easy to tell someone what the Lord said. Thats a form of Obedience, and as a Christian its our job to do as he say. I havent talk to one person who wasnt right about what they had to tell me about someone, or something. I guess, I’m stuck at “why I didn’t see it first, afterall it does have something to do with me”. But that’s okay, and its petty to try to figure out why, it’s just my job to do right by the information. Praise God? 

 

 

I get off work, and I can’t dial my Sisters cell phone fast enough. I’m driving on the freeway pushing numbers , pushing the wrongs one tryna stay focused on the road. They told her that she might be in there for a day, if she did good, she could go home today. I didn’t get an answer, so I called my momma. She was like Na ( Yolanda) is home. I said home? For real? I said things must have went good, she said they went to do  second look and found out that NONE OF HER ARTERIES WERE CLOGGED. They said it was clear!!!! They didn’t have to perform surgery at all!!! I was so happy and so THANKFUL TO GOD!!! OMG I was so happy driving home. As soon as I walked into the door she called me from home, she was tired tho. What happened was, they had went through the whole thing of surgery, but when they looked it them, it was clear!!!  But so what! She has her husband, my niece to help her around the house.

 

 

I had a good day today. I have been learning so much about people, and when I sat around and talked about it with my brother and sisters, we all are experiencing the same thing in life. ITS DEEP! Thats coming up tomorrow. DEEP, DEEP, DEEP!

 

 

 I’m on my way to bed, I’m off tomorrow! You all know what that means, Im going to the River in the A.M. tomorrow. So peaceful

Crazy Praise!!!

Today was  a beautiful day!!! As I was driving home on the freeway, I looked up at the sky and saw how beautiful it was. Isnt it something, how God allows us to do many things, but when it comes to changing night from day, he does that? And havent anybody noticed how perfect he is,  that the night has never hesitated to turn into day? WE need to give him Praise just from that alone!!! LOL Crazy Praise!!!

Even though I have started my Sistergurls Ministry on-line, I feel bad about not being able to connect with my Raisingurls @ my home. A lot of the gurls always called me for a ride, and for 2 years I would pick them up, take them home, when we went to the movies, I would pick them up. We also went out to dinner and I provided transportation, but my car is down….. I had to JUNK IT  because it was giving me problems. So now, I’m using my daughters car, and I feel so bad about that. A few days I was praying, and ask God to bless me with transportation. And he said what kind? I remember my BF always tell me to be specific because that’s how she got everything the way she asked from God. I couldn’t tell him what I wanted, so I said God, I’ll think about it and tell you later. LOL So embarrassed!!! Later on that night when I prayed, I told him exactly what I wanted. A  2010-2011 grey Chrysler Town and Country Van!!!Chrysler Town And Country Front Three Quarters View

I really love this Van. When I was in Atlanta we rented one and I didn’t want to give it up. This would be perfect for them. Plus I get so tired of needing 3 and 4 cars, with this, all I need is 2. A coupla of my gurls have really been off the chain since we had a meeting last year and the year before. I keep in touch with them, they are all on FB so that helps me a lot. I’m on my way to bed, gotta go to work in the AM. I’m cooking some greens for Sunday.

I have a house-warming to go to next week, a wedding next month, and also my ANITA BAKER family is coming here, that’s gonna be fun!! Well, talk to you later, and please listen to this song.

“Tired of fighting”

Today, I came to realize that I’m fighting. I’m just tired.

  

Today, I went down to my basement to my prayer area, and I stripped down NAKED to talk to God. I cried, and cried. I’m just tired of fighting. I’m fighting back what I’m suppose to be doing that’s going to lead me to the next level. Today, I surrender. Its okay too. It really is. I felt ( up until  today) that Ministering to people everyday is taking up my time. Because it’s so demanding.  Being selfish. But I have to give up my life, that’s not to say that I can’t have fun and do the things that  I want to do. Maybe I’m scared of that. I’m about to get geared it so I probably won’t be posting as much. I’m going to learn how to balance my time with God, family, to Minister, work, and play. There is no balance in my life. I can no longer live like this. I’m tired. I’m so tired. I can’t wake up tomorrow and do things the way they have been done. I can’t. It will surely kill me.

Theres a reason why people are always calling me,texting me, stopping me on the streets, in line, on-line, off-line, at work, in the stores, on the phone, in person, in and out-of-town. I can no longer be selfish. My time is not MY time, it belongs to God .I’ve been wasteful with my time, and I can no longer “sip on milk”. I have a gift to be able to touch and reach a lot of people. No one know half of what I know.  And let me say this, to all those reading my messages daily. Don’t watch me go through these whoppings from God and not learn from it. I’m going through a lot Spiritually, you all just DONT KNOW, and I come here to share these things with my readers. Please don’t let me go through this for FREE. Take something from it.

 

Let me post a few Scriptures that speaks to me at this time.     

 

Hebrews 12 (New International Version)

Hebrews 12

God Disciplines His Sons

 1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

 4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons:
   “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
      and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
 6 because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
      and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son.”[a]

 7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? 8 If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. 9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! 10 Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. 11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

 12 Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. 13 “Make level paths for your feet,”[b] so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.

 

Talk to you all later….. Cree
