Dreams
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

God Will Deliver You
That obstacle that looks permanent is really only temporary.
It may feel like it’s not going to work out,
but God is saying,
“If you will stay in faith, I will deliver you.”

Road Trip
“Goodbye,” he said, ambivalently calm
The winding roads protectors most his way
His family waved, they prayed and offered alms
This false utopic wasteland? Not today
He stopped in Kansas City after dark
A gateway to the west was all he hoped
For shrills and thrills he slumbered in the park
Surrounded by the tweakers, bloodshot, doped
Fresh possibilities in morning sun
Save five to seven hours he sought soup
Another grimy diner. “How are ya, hun?”
He charitably mused, “Fine.” Must regroup
A mountain there, a valley, river too
In no time ocean salt will rest his nerves
Hiss, wham! Oh well, a flat or two was due
Oh, damn! No jack; what selfless one here serves?
Sitting still, regretting, sipping Coke
One triple “A” gold membership sounds nice
Remembered motivations refresh the joke
This heathen blandness beats that god-filled spice
The bay! Serene, so humbly condescending
New fashions and philosophies he’ll find
Nostalgically uncertain, it’s never-ending
So welcome home, forever in his mind

Kiss Me
Kiss me with passion
or tender care
kiss me with promises
that you'll always be there
Kiss me with love
or to make my heart dance
kiss me with promises
always full of romance
Kiss me so gently
or with heart-stopping might
kiss me with promises
that will last through the night
Kiss me for hours
or until our stop sign
kiss me with promises
that you'll always be mine
Kiss me wrapped up
and safe by your side
kiss me with promises
that we'll never hide
Kiss me so deeply
or in a warm embrace
kiss me with promises
that'll make my heart race
Kiss me so rough
or light and mild
kiss me with promises
that'll make me go wild
Kiss me, very calm
or to let your love show
but kiss me with promises
that you'll never let go!

God Is...
He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
In this the love of God was manifested toward us,
that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through Him. ~1 John 4:8-9
There are so many doing hateful things in the name of God ...
Nothing about God equals hate.
GOD IS LOVE.
It's as simple as that.
He wants us to "love the sinner, but hate the sin.
Meaning
We hate sin by refusing to take part in it... when we see it. Sin is to be hated, not excused or taken lightly. We love sinners by being faithful in witnessing to them of the forgiveness that is available through Jesus Christ. A true act of love is treating someone with respect and kindness even though he/she knows you do not approve of their lifestyle and/or choices.
Keep in mind that God isn't going to judge us on what people do to us,
He is going to judge us on what we do to them.
If He Beats You, He Doesn't Love You
Ladies, I want to talk to you right now.
I am going to keep this short and to the point.
If a man hit’s you, he doesn’t love you…He want’s to control you.
LOVE DOES NOT PHYSICALLY HURTIf he hit’s you once, belive me when I tell you, there is a possibility he will hit you again…
DO NOT STAY IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP!!!
There are some signs you need to be aware of…
He’s extremely jealous.Constantly asks you where you are going, who you are going to be with.He insists that you spend all /most of your time with him,
He will isolate you from friends and family.
He will make all of “your” decisions.
He will tell you “what to” and “what not” to wear…
He will become angry when things don’t go his way.Blames others for his failures.Extremely moody, nice one minute angry the next.He’s extremely charming and an a smooth talker.
He may have also come from an abusive home.

Once this man starts beating you he will take your self esteem
and if you stay he may even take your life.
Don’t allow this man to isolate you from your family and friends.
He want’s total control of you. He can’t control you when other’s are around.
He has to break your spirit to control you.
He will tell you that you are worthless.
He will have you thinking that you are the one with the problem.
After he abuse’s you he might start to “romance” you…telling you that he is sorry and that he will never do it again. Thats a LIE.
You are NOT what he has been telling you that you are.
You are beautiful.
You can make it without him.
There are places out there that will help you.
There is also someone out there who will love you just the way you are.
If you are in an abusive relationship…it’s time to pack up and leave.
Even if you have to leave all of your material things behind….Leave!!!
Material things can be replaced…
Your life is more important.

All Females Are Beautiful
We live in a society that wants us to believe that beauty is
young, blonde, blue eyed and skinny.
And I am here to tell you that's a lie.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
Beauty isn't about appearance.
Beauty comes from within.
You are beautiful because God created you in His image.
Everything about God is good.
Beyonce, Kim, Halle and Heidi are all beautiful in their own special way.
But I bet they don't see themselves the way the world does.
The only difference between us and them is
they have "glam squads" to make them appear flawless.
You have to accept your own personal / inner beauty.
and let it shine...
It;s not about you appearance or size;
if you have a bad attitude...you are ugly.
and no one will put up with you for long.
Love Your Husband
This will be short and sweet.
If you have a problem with your husband (or wife)
Instead of telling your friends and family members...
tell him (or her).
Because the person you are telling all of your business to
is going to tell someone else or they just
might be the one waiting to replace you.
You can get mad if you want
But
I am just keeping it real....
The Bible tells us...
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother
and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
So the next time you want to bad mouth your husband
remember that you are also talking about yourself.
Because God has told us in His Word that you two are now one...

A Word To My Single Sister's
Nee Nee Leaks
Ladies, I am not trying to make any of you mad.
But it's time to "keep it real".
If you know a man is married,
LEAVE HIM ALONE.
There are too many single men out there to be fooling around with another sister's
husband.
He stood before the world and God and made vows to "his wife".
Don't be the woman to cause pain to another woman and/or his children.
A married man is NOT your man.
You deserve so much better.
Don't let some man make you his "side whore".
I don't care what he tells you, he isn't leaving his wife for you and if he does,
remember
the same way you got him will be the same way you lose him.
Then you will be the one feeling the pain you caused another woman.
It's time for us women to to stop hurting one another
and start supporting each another

Quote from Joel Osteen
If somebody is talking about you, don't give it energy.
It’s a distraction.
Instead of getting upset, remember they don’t talk about ordinary people,
they talk
about exceptional people

Friends But Not Those Benefits
So you have settled for being friends "with benefits".
ARE YOU CRAZY!!!!
I'm sorry for being so blunt. But you are better than that.
I am going to keep telling you this until you realize it.
You can get mad if you want to.
I don't believe that both "friends" are being completely honest about their feelings.
Someone want's a relationship and are settling...hoping that things will change.
I don't believe that both "friends" are being completely honest about their feelings.

Don't fool yourself into thinking that this person will one day fall in love with you.
Especially if they have told you how things are going to be.
When I was growing up my friends and I had another name for this type relationship
We called it "being
the night time whore". It is exactly what it sounds like.
You can call it whatever you want to...
But it's the same thing.
The person you are being with doesn't respect nor care enough for you
to want to be in a relationship with you.
But will use your body to please themselves.
Why are you accepting this?
You can do better
and
You deserve better.
Especially if they have told you how things are going to be.
