A Summer Love Poem





Clouds float by on a summer sky 
I hop scotch over to you
Rainbows arch from ground to gold 
I climb over to you
Thunder grumbles, lightning tumbles 
And I bounce over to you
Sun beams back and catches me 
Smiling over at you

Get Your Ring



Gen. 2:24
    Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

----


O-kay ladies I'm talking to you now. 
I know some of you are going to be upset with me. But like I told you  on an earlier post
I only want to help you
I am not here to judge anyone.
If someone had told me a lot of the things that I write here, 
I may not have made some of the mistakes I did.

Now with that said....

Some women sell themselves short.
They don't think they deserve any more than what
they are receiving. But I am here to tell you  that is a lie.

Don't let a man "shack up" ( for those of you who don't know...it means live together) with you, 
without first making you his wife. You don't need to "try it" out to see if it's what you want.
If the man has to "try you out" before he makes you his wife. You more than likely are not going to be his wife.
My grandmother always told us that a man would not buy the cow that gave him the milk for free.
And let me tell you ...
You are no cow.
You are loved by God and He loves you more than any man ever could or would.
Don't let some man come into your life and drain you in more ways than one.
He is going to drain you of your youth, your pride, your self esteem, self respect, your spirit and  maybe even your dreams.
And it's going to take a while for you to recover.
Been there done it.

I am not saying all men are like this. 
But the right man is going to make you his wife instead if a "wifey"
Wifea woman joined in marriage to a man; a woman considered in relation to her husband;spouse.

Wifey: a girl you care a lot about, she's more than just your girlfriend.


Just wait on him.
He's out there.
You just have to be patient.

Promise Yourself







Promise yourself 

to be so strong 
that nothing can 
disturb your 
peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness 

and prosperity 
to every person you meet.

To make all your friends 

feel that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything 

and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best 

and expect only the best.

To be enthusiastic about the success of others 

as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to 

greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times 

and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself 

that you have no time to criticise others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, 

too strong for fear and too happy 
to permit the presence of trouble.

Traffic


Gridlocked cars
No end in sight
Controlling anger
No need to fight

Other lanes move
Mine stands still
Maybe it clears
Just after this hill

I see the speed limit
I laugh in my mind
To work once again
Back to the grind

It is called rush hour
But lasts longer than that
Cars ooze like mud
For an hour we sat

The radio reports
That it only gets worse
If only they all would
Just move and disperse

Attached to our cars
And the freedom they give
So until we change
This is how we live

Your Father




Being a "Facebook" member, I have noticed so many people posting scriptures from the Bible,
trying to encourage one another by telling them God will take care of them and etc.
 But when you look deeper into their pages. You will see some of those same people half naked...cursing one another out and really not living the life they are quoting in those scriptures


There was this one woman who posted that she "loves God with all her heart and soul but in the same sentence she said she would "F" a "MF" up if they crossed her...

She also listed some of the things hated and she listed her ex as the person she hated
and she hoped he burned in hell

It was obvious to me then that she didn't know God.

Because if she did, she would know that God is a loving God ....

If you think I am lying...Go and read it for for yourself in 1 John 4:7-8 and 1 John 4:20

(Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.)

Obedience by Faith ] If someone says, “I love God,” and hatehis brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

I'm not going to sit here and act as if I am perfect. Because I am not. But I do confess to be a Christian. Being a christian means that I strive live the life that Christ lived when He was here. He came here ( in the flesh) to show us that it could be done.
We can live on this earth and serve God too.
But He knows that we are not perfect.
He knows that we will "mess up", fall into sin.
But we are not to do it  because it "feels good".
If we mess up, we are to get up, repent, walk the walk, talk the talk and live the life God wants us to live.
You cant do one without the other.
If you cant live the life, there is no need in acting or talking like you do.

Because all you are doing is fooling yourself.

For those of you who say that I dont know what I am talking about. I have an ex...a "baby daddy" as some of you would say.
I went through a phase of hating him, wanting him dead...
Oh I will be honest about it.

But that was before I knew God.

Now I pray for my children's father. I cant hate him, because he gave me some of the most precious gift a man can give a woman....my children.

I love him. But I am not in love with him.

And I pity him too, because he missed out on some of the most precious moments in his children's life by not being their for them. But that's something he is going to have to deal with.
I can't say I love God and have hate in my heart for another human being.
I wont lie and say it doesn't hurt when a person wrongs you...
but keep your faith in God and know that if you are truly a child of God, He is going to take care of His. Believe that.
He said in Exodus 23:22 ... will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you.
In short, He is saying, "I got your back..You don't have to worry about a thing"
When your Father is the King of all Kings... He has all the power.
What He tell's you will happen. May not happen when you want it to, but it will happen.
You don't have to do anything. Just take your burdens to your Father God, in Heaven.... Leave them with Him ( because He does not need your help in anything)
And He will work it out for you.
But make sure He is your father. If you aren't living a life pleasing to God, He is not your father, think I am lying. Check this out...1 John 3:9-10
Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.
Now go and think about some of the things that were said
You dont have to like it.
You don't even have to agree with me.
But just make sure you know who your Father is.

Allow Them To Grow

Sunday Stroll by Angel Latorre


“I think that the best thing we can do for our children is to allow them to do things for themselves, allow them to be strong, allow them to experience life on their own terms, allow them to take the subway... let them be better people, let them believe more in themselves.” 
― C. JoyBell C.
