Do not be afraid, GOD Loves everyone and there is no right or wrong way to pray… THE POWER is in prayer..  God wants to bless you; he wants you to come to him as a child to a father, for comfort and life giving grace.

“For I know the plans I have for you” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you… plans to give you hope and a future.”  Jeremiah 29:11

GOD has not forgotten about you!  Put the lord first with everything that you do.

When I was 12 we found out that I was dieing from cancer and the doctors said that I only had 6 months to live.  Only being 12 years old had I no idea of the things that were to come next.  My mother cried a lot, however she prayed often.  She used to come to my hospital room and tell not only me, but my doctors that it was not my time and that there had to be a way to help me. 

 Well one day I was tired, just tired of being sick so I asked my mother if we could just stop everything and if she would just let me die?  Her eyes got big (I will never forget that look) and she told me that life is good; God has big plans for me.  Never give up, because you are going to live; a lot of other things were said that day between my mom and me.  This was the day that I looked at life different and it was also the day that my mother became my best friend.

I’m a stronger woman because it took a very strong woman like my mother to raise me.  Don’t get me wrong we don’t always feel the same way about everything however, her values on life have been passed down to me. 

 When I was 20 years old my mother told me that “I want you and your sister to always have somewhere to go, just in case something was to happen to me.”  She said that “renting a house is not the key” so, about 2 months later she bought us a house.  Now, she knows that no matter what we should always have a safe place to go to.  My mother name is Teraesa and she has showed me that all things are possible. 

I have learned a lot from my mother and I hope that one day I can fill her shoes.

I have a strong belief that the economy can and will be built back up within the four years that our newly elected president will be in office.  In Mondays confrence President Elect Barack Obama has stated that he will bring 2.5 million jobs by 2010. 

Question:  How long have you or someone you know looked for employment?  What was the longest lengh of time being unemployed?

It seems like a long time but 2010 will be here before we know it so therefore finding employment will not be such a challenge.

I am looking forward to the economy being turned around so we can enjoy life.

Teekee Anna!

I loved you until I could not love anymore

I gave you all I had and even more

It was not enough, you wanted more.

I thought you were the one so sweet, so special

your plan was not the same, your plan was

to TAKE, TAKE, AND TAKE

You took my heart, my soul, and it felt like you

Took my Life.

Love is a Bitch

Love makes you feel like life is all good

It doesn’t let you see the bad things in a person

It makes you think the other person feels the same way

about you

When all along the plan was to get what you can get

and GET THE HELL OUT!

Get the money, the cars, the good jobs and anything

else the person is willing to give

and GET THE HELL OUT!

Love is a Bitch

When you find out this individual never loved you

in the way they said……….YOU HURT!

But what we must realize is that

Pain is Life and Life is Pain

Men and Women can be dirty

See what this dirty world

With these dirty ass people

Are all about

And go on with your life because now

And only now this minute

We realize that

LOVE IS A BITCH!

What is Love?  Is love defined by the way your partner looks at you? Is it defined by what they can provide for you?  Is it defined by the way they make you feel? Can Love be defined? Who Defines Love?

I believe that Love is something that lands in many categories; it can be a mixer of all and more. It takes time to realize that you are in “what we call Love”.  I think that Love can be when your partner makes you smile when you’re down, when they can say that everything will be alright (and you believe it).  Love can be when you partner comes around after months and years of dating and your heart still skips a beat. Love can be accepting the good and bad, the ups and downs in the relationship.  Love can be when you have an argument and both if you guys come together and say “I’m Sorry”.

Love is such a touchy issue because everyone expresses themselves in such a different manner. What you may want your spouse to do, they might not do, what you want them to say, they might say; but does that mean that they don’t love you? Maybe love is indefinable because your with someone and don’t really know why. The only thing you know is that you’re happy.

Is it True Love when you can point all the reasons why you love someone?

I have someone who makes me feel good inside and out, someone who is willing to go above and beyond the greatest measures to make me happy.  As I too, will do the same for him. I believe that we compliment each other in such a way that the Lord has placed us together.  We raise our families as one; we act as if we are one.  Now don’t misunderstand me; we too have issues and arguments that most couples have.  We don’t always get along; but we are not afraid to admit our wrong doings.

I believe that if you are with someone and you’re happy, then that’s all that matters because true Happiness is hard to find.

Stay Tuned……..More to Come!

Dating is a very serious issue in most of our lives; we invest a lot of time and money into our relationships.  In order to have an effect relationship you MUST have open communication with each other and most of all TRUST.  You must be honest with one another because in the event that your not, your partner will no longer trust you.  Without trust there is no relationship!

One of the serious issues that most couples run into is dating someone with children by someone else.  This can be a difficult thing and a sticky issue because one of you may feel that you only have to do for your child(ren) while leaving the other child(ren) out. Or the child(ren)s parent may not want the child involved because of ones selfishness!

In the case that the parents don’t want you involved, I suggest that you don’t press the issue, as time pass they will eventually come around.  They will begin to see that they are only hurting the child. I believe that if you are dating someone with kids, then you are to love them as if they are yours.  When you do things as a family, just be sure to include them even if it turns out that they are not able to attend.

Stay Tuned for more on this issue!  Please leave comments!!!!!!!
