21 Day Challenge Update- R&B Divas ((((((Blog)))))))

work out

Hey,

Angie Stone got on my nerves tonight on R&B Divas. She was out of order to call that gurl on stage like that when she KNOWSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS how she feels about singing right now. That is so disrespectful to her art as an entertainer, and as a person and friend.

When I was having my Teen group meetings, I knew the personality of all my gurls. I knew who would answer my questions, who would shy away, who would talk too long, who would want to help me every week, and so on. True enough as a leader it is my job to help get them out of their comfort zones, but I also believe that its a way of doing it. Putting people on the spot making them beg and plead for you to PLEASE take the spot light off them, is so wrong. I would have turned all of Angie’s tables over at that party, trying to put me on the spot like that * jp*. She pissed me off. I don’t like being put on the spot, and it bothered me to see LaTavia on it. That gurl begged her, swearing to God and everything for mercy…. ooooo that bothers me.

Some folks in my life feel that since I have such a huge personality that I feel like doing stuff all the time. I like to sit back in the corner with my hat over my face too. When the waitress come to the table.. I don’t like to be the one doing the talking to set the atmosphere. I like to bury my head in the menu like everybody else when they’re asked what will they be ordering. I like to chill too.. and people who know me.. KNOW THAT.. SO….. for Angie to do that while that gurl clearly had on her ” not right now, don’t go there look” on her face…. was wrong… Um um that wasn’t right.

Angie only did it because the gurl showed up late for her Birthday Party. She didn’t look like she wanted to be there any oleway. Who could blame her, when she’s feeling that she’s NOT READY TO PERFORM YET.. What is so hard about that to understand? If that was me.. I would have gave Angie Stone the look of JUDGEMENT DAY HOUR… I don’t play that. At some point you FALL BACK. Enough of that, because I’m getting mad.

Day 14 of the 21 May Challenge and I lost a total of 7 pounds!!!!! That time flew by. I love the change in my eating. I love not having the Pepsi’s… I love how I see a few of my issues with food. I sat down today and paid attention as I ate breakfast and dinner. I GET FULL FAST… I was full after a few minutes into my meal. BUT GET THIS…… I HAVE IGNORED that full feeling.. because I HAVE TOLD MYSELF FOR SO MANY YEARS….. ” YOU JUST STARTED EATING”… how could you be full? I have ignored that warning for so long that I have stretched my stomach overeating. WOW ISN’T THAT A HUGE GREAT BREAKTHROUGH? SO guess what I did when I got full? I got up and put the rest down the garbage disposal. I did hesitate, because guess why? I’m SO USE TO EATING EVERYTHING ON MY PLATE. WOW WOW WOW Something we all learned as a kid.

Okay! So, now that I know that……can’t wait until tomorrow, where I will monitor it again. I have to learn to stop eating whenever I feel full, no matter how much I’ve eaten. I can always grab an apple, or a fruit in between meals IF I FEEL HUNGRY again. I have to learn that. I HAVE TOO. I also learned that what ever I put on my plate the first time, I WILL EAT IT UP… That’s gonna stop. I have to learn portion control. I HAVE TOO. So now I have to be mindful of my portions. I hardly ever go back for seconds, because I’m so busy filling up the first time. This explains why I get full fast when I eat spaghetti.. and everything else I eat.. …..hmmmm. Wow!

I use to be able to eat a Big Mac Meal with fries and pop. For the last 5 years… all I can eat is a hamburger. N O W I K N O W WHY!!!!! I ignored it. The only thing that I’ve been drinking is WATER WATER WATER. Its not even like I’m drinking my water after each bite. I wait until I’m completely done eating before I take a drink. Which means I really get full fast.

Alright now, off to bed!
Be Blessed

My Ramblings & 3 VIRGO You tube Sistas You must check out!!

cree
Hey,
 
 
Today was a good day, got some writing done. There is so much I want to say. One thing I love about THIS VIRGO…. is the fact that I HAVE absolutely no one to IMPRESS in this world BUT GOD. I am so free to share my testimonies after they’re all said and done. There is not one person who I would keep from knowing my truth for the simple fact of “caring what they say”. I’m so done with that mentality. I know so many people who wouldn’t dare share their testimony for the sake of feeling they’ll be the person being JUDGED. Because they do a lot of JUDGING. There is no one on this earth who directs my path. Dang, that took me a long time to come to that conclusion. I feel so bad for people who are LOCKED into their own TRUTH.
 
 
I know people who will stick to the same story for dear life, but refuse to share a “current” situation to help someone else… knowingly and unknowingly. I know people who have testimonies so deep, these are women with SO MUCH WISDOM…. but they’re so afraid of what others will think of them. They want people to believe that the life they last knew them to live….. still exist. Its okay if it doesn’t. Things change, people change.
 
 
Don’t get me wrong… I’m NEVER the woman to sit up and empty my head out to ANYONE. I could be talking to you on the phone, and be packing clothes to fly to New York for a week, and I wouldn’t even share it. You’ll be saying ” I talked to you that night, why didn’t you tell me that”? I’m more of a person who will share a life lesson of mines, than something I consider….nothing.
 
 
Anyway… You all know I LOVE LOVE LOVE my you tube videos. Here are 3 women who I love watching . I don’t know them personally, but I did ask them in inbox…. WHAT IS YOUR SIGN, BECAUSE YOU REMIND ME OF MEEEEEEEEE? LOL Guess what all 3 of these ladies said? IM A VIRGO!!!! LOL LOL Just like me!!! I watch their channel faithfully. They have great topics, cooking, nails, trips, married tips, hair, lashes, home remodels, they have personal testimonies all the time. So, I’m going to share. Some of the language may be sensitive, but don’t get the MESSAGES TWISTED!!! Okkkkkkkkk
 
 
BE BLESSED!!

Women & Relationships *2* Crees Blog Entry

secure

I had to have been around 15 when I read this from the Bible.

 

2 Timothy 3:6

New King James Version (NKJV)

6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

I was horrified that one day this could be me. I remember thinking…. God please don’t let me seem gullible to a man where he comes into my life/home and make this Scripture true for ME. Still till this day… I believe with all my heart this is the reason why I NEVER let a man move in with me. Not only that but I never lived with him either. Its bad enough I’ve had my share of “clowns” without living together. And I will say this, women in these types of relationships are breaking up with these men….. after having their babies. That’s when low self esteem comes in, and the woe as me syndromes. Women we’ve got to pay more attention.

This can’t keep working. When it comes to these types of conversations and my friends come to me for advice. IM BRUTAL….. with LOVE. I am Zero Tolerance for this type of relationship behavior. MY advice to this women is this

  • find something about YOURSELF that you LOVE and ADMIRE

  • find out what it is that you like to do , that brings out your personality

I love and enjoy quiet time near The River. I have to make that kind of time for myself. Being near water for me brings a peace and calm…. I’ve never known. Make sure that you PUT THIS TIME ASIDE. It helps me to see life clearer, and the people that’s in it. What brings out my personality is… making small talk with strangers. I enjoy talking to people who are different than myself. They interest me, and I can always learn something new.

The more you get to know YOURSELF…. when “The One” does come along, he will appreciate you more for being YOUR OWN PERSON, not someone who needs HIM to come and “complete” you.

I know its hard being single…. but be a WOMAN who refuse to deal with any and everything, for the sake of “having a man”. And I noticed the SAME WOMEN.. who chose these types of men, are the first ones who will say…. my momma aint trying to help me, my friends aint there for me, don’t nobody care about how I get from A to B. Wont nobody come and pick me up. And I’ll say to them… YOU’RE REALLY MAD AT YOUR BOYFRIEND…because he’s not doing his job by providing a way for you to do those things…… HOW DARE YOU TURN THIS ON YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!! These type of women will blame all the names in their cell phones, before they’ll ADMIT… they made a wrong choice in their relationship.

Its okay to live alone, or with your children. Date a man for dear life if you have too. Stop be so submissive to the first man who tells you….. your hair is pretty. Know your own hair is pretty FIRST…. then let him put his AMEN with it. Compliments you’re hearing for the first time from a man… YOU MUST HAVE NEVER TOLD YOURSELF FIRST. So yes… of course it sounds good and special. Get to know YOU. A person is willing to help a single mother faster than they would a woman who has a NO GOOD MAN , sitting on her couch…… PLANT MANAGING A REMOTE CONTROL

 

 

Don’t wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you’ve got to make yourself. –Alice Walker

Where works of the flesh exists, there is NO joy

Inside the crazy mind of Ms. Walker

babies in shapes
A mother and father finds out that they’re expecting a baby
 
everyone is excited
 
they call up everyone and tell them of the good news
 
later on in the pregnancy they  find out what sex the baby is
 
the baby moves for the first time… and its pure excitement
 
a baby shower is planned
 
gifts are bought, food is served, games are played
 
the labor begins
 
lots of pain
 
the baby is born and the pain is no longer remembered
 
the first eye to contact with baby and parents are breath taking
 
they promise to love and protect the baby
 
 
 
Now, I could go on and on with the stages of life… but I’ll stop here for a reason. How does a mother and father go through these stages but someplace between the beginning and the growing years, they grow up to be disrespectful, killers, thieves and other things that are NOT good. I just sit back and wonder….WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT HAPPENED? I just don’t get it.
 
 
Be Blessed

My Virgo Friend, Married Men….Cree’s Blog Entry

creefaceI was just going through the papers in my file cabinet and I wrote a love story about 15 years ago. I’m reading it now and its so interesting how I came up with it. I realized that in my story I used so many things that was real life to me at that time. For instance my family and friends, things that happened that I totally forgot was added in the story. Different people I knew… I even forgot about them. LOL So as a writer, I see and know for my self that a lot of movies, and books people write have something to do with their own personal experiences, people they know, places and events that actually happened. Wow…. so it inspired me to start another LOVE STORY as I type this. It just flows out of my head… yeah I’m such a nerd while everyone is out enjoying the summer, I find myself reading and writing all day, just as I did as a child. Well, at least I have that option… I can jump in my van and go anywhere I want….. but this… I CHOOSE.

So, I made friends with my Virgo friend who lives in the building. I guess he seen that yeah… I was nice…yeah I did share a lot…. and yeah I have teeth too…. that bite. I can tell he missed me. I missed his crazy self too. Whew that man knows he love to debate…. and strong minded whew…. but I’m a VIRGO too…. and I can go just as hard. But that’s not who I want to be. He called me, and we talked. He told me that he found him two housekeepers who come cook and clean for him…. Yeaaaaa…. cause <SHE> aint the one. I understand that he needed it, and that’s all good….. but I’m NOT <HER>…… at all. I’m trying to do <ME>…. my daughter is grown, living on her own.. and making good money for herself.

So, I have this other friend….I met him about 10 years ago. We dated, at first I liked him, but I just wasn’t attracted to him. When I like a man, I like to visualize being with him… not so much as sexual. But when he’s not around… I like to think about him, and try to remember his scent, his kisses. With this guy I just wasn’t feeling him in this way. He really liked me, and I liked him as a friend and so it didn’t work out. We were never sexually involved, we did communicate a lot, but I wasn’t feeling him that way. Well one day after several years had passed, when I was working at Walmart, he came through my line and looked at me REAL MEAN and said…..” I’m getting married” then walked OUT. LOL I was like OKKKKKKK. * laughs a little*. Aint gon lie… did leave me feeling some kinda way. Not so much as…. dang… I wish it was me…. but I wonder what was behind him telling me about it this way?

I was happy for him, but then after several years, he started calling me wanting to talk about how he and his wife separated. I listened to him, we were friends and I was happy for him. When someone is not your type, and you cant see yourself with them….I feel its okay to talk every now and then, as long as the conversation never becomes sexual. He introduced me to her, and we were cool. One day he came up to my job, when he saw me, I guess he had flash backs I don’t know. He’s about 6’5. as I reached up to hug him, he grabbed both of my booty cheeks and squeezed them. I was sooooooooooooooooo mad, and sooooooooo embarrassed. He kept apologized 1000 times saying he was sorry, and that he couldn’t help it. OMG I was ON FIRE!!! At my job? A Virgo? He’s married? That’s one thang you don’t do….. is embarrass a VIRGO. I said to him… its going to be a LONG time before you see me again… I hope your hands are happy boo.

I made good on that promise. YEARS AND YEARS LATER.. LOL One day recently he text me out of the blue. He tells me that he and his wife is fine and that they are together… and you know me…. I’m happy for him. Very good. Praise God. The conversation is going so good…. then he sends several photos of himself wrapped in a towel. Disrespectful to the 100th power. I came to the conclusion that we can’t be friends at all period. He doesn’t know how to act. He cant help it.. okay I get it. But you will not DISRESPECT your WIFE…. and dam sure not ME. I never responded. He kept apologizing as he always does.

The point I’m TRYING to make is………. women stop settling for these types of men. Don’t let these kinds of men creep into your household, and make you apart of him. A person who has a WIFE… family, and you on the side. I realize that as long as I’m his “friend” I am apart of his BS…. mentally speaking. And I don’t even like him like that….. I KNOW better than this. Then last week, he got on Facebook, showing photos of him and his wife plus kids at Universal Studios. Which he has EVERY RIGHT to do. Married women do the same thing…. always keeping that “friend” on the side… yea she may really be JUST a friend…. but when it because a sexual conversation… someone took it to another level. LEAVE THAT ALONE!

those 3 minute talks….Cree’s blog

Hey!!!                       (Me and Neisha 5/28/11)
 
What a wonderful day/week/month it has been. Today was one of my quiet days at work, don’t know if it was because I had to work on the holiday 8:30-5 or what? My coworkers always think something is wrong when I’m quiet……because I’m always laughing and talking my junk. I love them and they love me. LOL
 
Saturday night me and my coworkers about 20-25 total ppl went on a MIDNIGHT CRIUSE over the Detroit River on the Detroit Princess boat. We had a good time too. That’s where the photo above was taken with my daughter Neishia. My coworkers said “They finally got me out”. LOL I can be such a nerd at times, you just have to be careful of your surroundings, and I’m not into going out like I use too, I have to really trust the person who is giving the function and the atmosphere. It was nice, very nice. We had so much fun laughing, dancing and talking that we didn’t even realize that the boat had finally taken off. There were so many people on there……..we had a ball.
 
A few of my Sistergurls from my group called me and asked me to do a dinner or breakfast outing. On June 12, were going to dinner, and having gurl talk . And on June 26, I’m having a meeting with my Raisingurls @ Applebees. We seriously need to talk. They’re like………about what? LOL I’m not mentioning a word. Then on July 23, me and my cousin put together our 3rd “cousin gathering” to be at a neighborhood water park…….this place is NICE. My sister went down to the city of Grossepointe and did the paper work for that day, and we are excited. I enjoy planning, maybe that’s my calling. I enjoy gathering people together and being behind the scenes. But I’m always wanted “upfront” for some reason. I’m the kinda person who wants no credit, no bows, no mention, just behind the scenes and I’m good. I can’t stand attention, and too much will run me away. I enjoying being low key. But why do I ALWAYS END UP BEING THE GO TO PERSON? LOL I guess its all good, and hopefully it will take me somewhere …..and get paid for it. Hahaha
 
Several times last week, I saw this guy I use to kick it with. We are very good friends, normally we talk over the phone, or facebook. But lately he’s been coming up to my job, where it seems I’m spending 70% of my life. LOL As I was listening to him talk to me, I kept on thinking about the time when I begged God to let him be my husband. It was about 12 years ago. We hit if off so well, he is my baby to this day. I have mad love for him. But as he spoke, I was thinking to myself….wow……..how could I EVERRR in my life ask God to let him be my husband, he is so NOT La’Crease. He’s handsome, has a very good job, not stable ( cant make up his mind about ANYTHING) which drives me crazy. I’m still trying to figure out why I wanted to be this man’s wife. UGH!! Thats why I Love God so much because he knows whats best for us. All that time I was praying and asking God to let him be my husband, when he knew he was not the one he had for me. I have never asked God for someone to be my husband since him. I’ll let God do all that for me. Matter of fact I don’t even think about that, I do remember it being time consuming. LOL
 
Only one other person who I wanted to marry and that was Neisha’s dad. UGHHHHHH never in a million years. I mess with her sometimes saying “gurl I wouldn’t let your daddy tie my shoes if they needed to be tied”. She laughs. We are very cool, but Lord Jesus, what was I thinking? LOL Whoever he has for me will come for me, and I will never ever have to ask God about him.  
When I was a young gurl, we lived next door to this wonderful family, and one of the gurls who lived there was named Lynn. Lynn (PHOTO ABOVE)  was so sweet, she’s about 3 years older than I am. She loved me, she loved people period. When she went out with her friends, she sometimes asked if I could go. My mother loved and trusted her, so she would let me go. Lynn took care of me, she always made sure I ate, and that I was okay, that I was home at a decent time. And I never forgot about that. She took care of kids, and teenagers, she would talk to us, and she was very smart. I love Lynn so dearly. Well, yesterday was her Birthday and I left her a very sweet message, then I got to thinking what I promised myself I would do when I got older. I said that I would take care of other young gurls, and talk to them and treat them just as she treated me. AND THATS WHAT IM DOING!!!! OMG. God bought it to my remembrance yesterday. I forgot all about what I said that I was going to do when I was in position to do what she did for me. I help so many young teens, and talk to so many of them. I just want to see then make it in this world, no matter what situation they’re faced with, they can make it.
 
I had Neisha at 19 and turned around 3 months later and got pregnant by her dad. I didn’t tell anyone but him and even though he really didn’t want me too, he knew that I was serious, and had an abortion. I thought that people were going to talk about me and say that I’m fast. I thought that people were going to tell me how hard it was going to be with 2 children. I thought my family was going to raise the roof on me and dog me out for being “stupid”, but little did I know this would only hurt me in the long run.It was all in my MIND. My mother and father wouldnt dare let me have an abortion if they knew that, and they would have supported me. It was a trick of the enemy that had my keeping that secret that later bothered me to no end that I had killed my baby. The person I am today, I would never listen to that voice, this is my story and my issue, I would NEVER kill my baby, because I’m afraid of what others may think or say. And so this is why I enjoy talking to young gurls, because of the MANY mistakes I made. This is my life, this is who I am. I love doing this, its my passion.
 
Saturday night on the Detroit Princess boat…. one of my coworkers ( NINA PHOTO ABOVE) saw me  and sat at our table,  she started hugging me and wouldn’t let me go. Saying how much she appreciate my talks that helped her, ( caught me totally off guard). She said Cree I love you, she said all those 3 minute talks at the register really helped me, you helped me a lot to calm down, and really think about things and decisions, she said cause there were times when I was going to go off. She said I love you , and you just don’t know how much you have helped me. I was about to cry, cause it was out of the blue. I call her “mini me” because she reminds me of me when I was her age. She’s going to the Navy in August and I’m going to really miss her. I know I talk a lot to the gurls but I never knew she/others really listened……… I hoped that they did. LOL Then later she wanted to take a photo with me and she was very happy that she got a chance to say this to me. I don’t see her at all, because she works the overnight shift, so I’m happy we had that chance to talk.
 
Well. I’m closing for now. I have lots more to say about different things, so I may post another blog entry. Night!
 
La’Crease

Sistergurls…..Colored Girls…..and Thanksgiving

Today was a good day!! Bible class was off the chain!!! My Bishop taught “How to handle stress in your life”. He said a few things that stuck out in me. He said know who you are trying to please, everybody wont like or appreciate you. Then he said who am I to please, who am I serving? He said procrastination produce pressure, and preparation reduces stress. Wow, is that the truth or what? What an eye opener!

I really needed to hear this because today I was on it. Went to work today and passed out “Reminders” for Cree’s feeding the Homeless for Thanksgiving. People are still coming up to me asking me can they help. My sheet is all filled. Im so grateful. Thank you Lord. This year we are feeding 75 people. I am already starting to get things in order for my Valentines Day Care Packages for the Homelessin Febuary.  My STORE MANAGER told my boss to tell me that he wanted to see me in his office. My heart was beating….didnt know what he wanted. lol When I got in there he said La’Crease, I am so proud of what you are doing with the homeless, and share with me how did you come about starting this? I told him, then he said to me…… I want to be apart of this, what can I donate? Wow, look at GOD! My STORE MANAGER!!! He is TOP MAN IN CHARGE OUT OF THE WHOLE BUILDING!! Usually, they don’t get involved in stuff like this at ALL.  They usually don’t even want you to do this. But when you know who is leading it, and you know the character of the person, you want to trust and believe its all its suppose to be. And on that I WILL DELIVER!!! Then, THE ASSISTANT MANAGER  * she is so sweet* called me into the office and she had me to explain everything to her as well, and she too put her name down on the sheet and agreed to help. What an awesome God we serve!!!

When I first started this 3 years ago, I always visioned the food to be cooked  out of my house and into the streets. I never wanted to work out of a shelter, or anyplace else. I wanted to take it to the streets. I love and enjoy that one on one contact with people. They are people who appreciate what we do and will tell you over and over again.

I have been busy getting my SISTERGURLS together for our first meet and greet!!!! We are 66 in number on line, but next week we’re going 20-25 strong to see Tyler Perry’s for Colored Girls  and then to dinner afterwards. I have a surprise for 3 of the ladies. I even have friends coming from other parts of MICHIGAN to be with us. My friends LOVE ME. I LOVE THEM TOO. I can’t wait for all of us to be together. We’re going to take LOTS OF PHOTOS AND VIDEO FOOTAGE. Before we all are seated in the movies, I’m going to ask them to tell me which “color” gurl are they and why? OOOOOOO yeah LaCrease always know how to get a party started!!! smile

Well, im off to bed, gotta work in the a.m.

Be Blessed!!!

There’s more

 Thank you Jesus for another day!!! Lord, Thank you for always listening to me. You know I’m in deep thought all the time. Goodness. When am I going to just learn to relax? LOL Lord, who else can deal with me other than you? Make sure you give my husband a pep talk about me, cause I know I can be a handful. I’m sooooo much fun tho, can’t stay upset long either!!

 

I still feel in my heart there is more God want me to know. I’m not feeling complete like I need too. There is more for me to know, and I need and want to know what it is. I still need to “Seek his face”. And I’m not resting like I should because there is more. I’m going back to him, to find out more. Thats all I’m going to say about that for now. But, I will say…..there is more. I cant stop thinking about what all those people came to me and said……… Seek his face!

 

 My Sistergurl group is growing. We are having a good time getting to know each other and soon we will all meet. The group is private so I know 95% of them. I have chosen 3 ladies to kinda hold “my baby” down for a minute. I’ll be in and out daily, but for the most part….. I gotta see what else my daddy talking about. I gotta know. I’m not going to hold you all with my ramblings, I’m closing for now. Got lots to share on another day.

 

Take care!!

Cree

Sistergurls!

Today was a good day!!!Woke up this morning and thoughts just rush me…… I want to figure out why do my thoughts try to take over my God time in the morning? LOL The first thing I want to say is Good Morning Lord!!! Thank you for waking me up 🙂

I had a wonderful day at work. First day back and my co-workers missed me. Everybody had a personal story to tell me. I  just love them.

  

It’s about time, I start realizing that I am a Leader. I don’t give myself enough credit… why I don’t know. I really don’t. A few weeks ago, I started my Women’s Group on-line called Sistergurls. It’s very private with over 30 members . I had each person to introduce themselves by stating how they know me. Oh, I cried. I have 2 friends that has been knowing me for over 30 years. Wow, and the words they spoke….blew me away. Sometimes you feel that you are not worthy, and you feel as if you’re not reaching people, and really, they are listening. They hear me, they remember everything. And I see that now. When I was in Atlanta, it was so quiet in the group. Only a few people held it down, but when my presence is there, they come out the basements. LOL That tells me a lot about who I am. They are listening, they are reading, they do care, they do want to learn, they do want to know more about God. They do……… And I understand that I may have to “get the party started” daily, but that’s okay……. Lord just give me the strength and let me be consistent in doing so.This is so scary for me. I have always held group meets in my home, out to dinner, but not lately……..how bout in 7 years ago when I first moved in this house.

 

When I first moved here, I was laying in my couch and went to sleep when I saw my living room filled with Women. We we talking and praying, learning from each other, sharing testimonies and everything. That inspired me to have my ” A Virtuous Woman” dinner gathering in 2004. I was so nervous, but it turned out so nice. That passion is back for me. I have to learn to pull back on my comments ON THE SITE, I can beat you up with my comments, but I wouldn’t mean any harm by it. LOL Lord, help me in that area. LOL HELP ME!!! Each one knows me personally, so they know how I am.

 

This probably explains the fascination I have about people in Leadership. I watch them and study them closely. When I’m out to dinner, and the people I’m with are busy talking, I’m watching all the people who are Leaders. I watch the waitress, the managers, the cooks, receptionist, UPS men, postal workers, everybody. I watch everyone. I enjoy seeing the decisions they make. I like to see them in challenging situations, and difficult moments. I’m always looking at ways to learn and improve myself. When we were at the Cheese Cake Factory in Atlanta, the waiter guy was so cute and so friendly. Oh, my goodness he was very attentive to us. I wanted to see how he reacts to random things. So I  looked at him, changed my voice and said………. “I was Joan of Ark in my former days”( Coming to America) LOL He laughed and said “Oooooh okay”! Priceless!!! We couldn’t stop laughing, even he was cracking up.

 

Tonight in our group the topic was about having Sex before  MARRIAGE, and what the Bible says: I wrote: Okay ( persons name), let me challenge your thinking for a minute….. Lets say, you say Lord, I’m holding out on sex until marriage, IM DOING IT YOUR WAY, any other way WOULD BE MY WAY…….THEN… See MoreYou meet a guy, he wants to wait, and you want to wait… Then you both get married, and the sex is not what you think it should be.Would you…… Leave the marriage because of the disappointment?
or
Would you put it in God’s hands , pray consistently about it, and depend on God to make it 100?

Or you can always…….

Do it (person’s name) way…… and

Test the waters of a potential guy, have good sex while dating.

After seeing it broken down like this, would you change your thinking?

One reason God tells us to honor marriage and keep the marriage bed pure has to do with baggage. We carry baggage into our sexual relationships. Memories from the past, emotional scars and unwanted mental images can defile our thoughts and make the marriage bed less than pure. Certainly God can forgive the past, but that doesn’t mean we’re free from the baggage that can linger in our minds.
