Prayers Going Up

The Chains Must Be Broken
Anyone who knows me personally knows that I don’t have a racist bone in my body and I have no self hate. At times it can be hard being me and being attracted to white men doesn’t help matters either. At times I get a whole lot of flack from my fellow brothers. It needs to be understood I don’t hate them as a matter of fact I love them in a Christian way. There is a chain that needs to be broken and it starts in the homes. When a family is broken it causes lots of damages for some that can’t be fixed. The blame game comes into to play attached with hate. Some of the black young girls become black women who wants love so much that she loses sight of her worth. Black boys grow up into black men who sometimes hate their mothers and they take it out on fellow black women. The chains must be broken it’s time to stop all the hate and turn negative into a positive. I came from a broken home but I allowed that to make me stronger. I don’t have a bad attitude I am simply aware of what I want and I go for it.
I find this video interesting:
Springtime
It’s spring
I wonder what’s coming
Besides the beautiful flowers
Warmer weather
Blue skies
More time for the kids
To play outside
Glowing smiles
Hopefully many surprising things
All blessings
I’ll be waiting
Broken Covenant
When I use to think of what we had
It would make me sad
After all marriage is a special thing
A covenant with God
When a lady and a man
Becomes wife and husband
Number one we must understand
True love isn’t planned
Love is precious
And so beautiful
Especially when the love is equal
So if you are not ready
For love then don’t accept
A person’s heart
When they offer it to you
Another important thing
A marriage can not survive
With interferences from the outside
Also decisions should not be made
As if single is your status
They must be made together
With a prayer to God as the glue
To hold them into place
Praying that you gain understanding
As I have one day
I don’t blame God
And I don’t blame you
I played a role in the demise
Of the marriage too
It’s a shame what we planned to prosper
Has been reduced to a poem
Which consist of nouns and verbs
On a piece of paper
I am no longer sad or mad anymore
Because I now know that regardless of the
Outcome God has a plan
So now I understand
I no longer question why
I know that God has greater
For me in my life
Looking on the bright side helped me to realize
Where I messed up and that was not keeping
God first
See human beings are like candles
Under pressure we burn out
But God is like the sun
The light never goes out
He knew us before our births
He has a master plan
For our lives
But if you don’t consult the master
There’s a chance that things won’t work
Pride will have a person looking from a window
On the outside wishing that you were inside
Pride kills happiness it leaves you with regret
So if you have a ego lose it
It’s not worth it
I have grown to be so much wiser now
I no longer cradle ideas about marriage
That are fables
Only God can keep a marriage stable
Because He is able
All we have to do is lay
Everything out on the table
I have never had so much confidence
About letting go
I truly hope that you find
The wife that is meant for you
I don’t hate you
How can I
I once loved you
Besides harboring hate has no use
It only keeps me from reaching
The next level that I am trying
To get to
This isn’t drama it’s truth
Being honest is the right thing to do
As you can see I’ve looked
At me I have taken ownership
Of my mistakes
Can you
I Accept Who I Am Proudly
One thing that I don’t do
And that’s reminisce
About memories from my past
Unless they are ones
That are filled will bliss
Or they in some way
Contribute positively to my present or future
Life is way too short to be miserable
When I look in the mirror
I look beneath the surface way deep
And I am proud of what I see
A woman who has not allowed her past
To be a crutch or to define her
Holds her head up high with pleasure
Busy looking towards the future
As a matter of fact she runs to it
To catch it
Everyone has parts of their lives
Where they wish they could change
Forget or revive
Mine is no different
My life has not been perfect
I had an abusive husband and father
A wonderful mother who died young from cancer
Three beautiful sisters but we still argue
Two sons with a man that God didn’t not send
Unfortunately I made him my husband
One of my sons has autism
Goals and dreams that I have yet to finish
My face still has an occasional blemish
A marriage that has been demolished
But I refuse to wallow in sorrow
The past can not rob me of a great tomorrow
It will just go bankrupt
Cause my past won’t get a loan
No matter how hard it tries to borrow
My past has served it purposes
And I have come to terms of
What was meant happened
What wasn’t meant didn’t happened
Wishing and hoping won’t change it
Regardless I will not stress
I still feel that I am blessed
Through all the mess
Being negative there’s absolutely no sense in it
I have accepted my life 100%
And I am proud of it
Today Will Be Wonderful
Regardless of the weather rainy or sunny it’s always a wonderful and beautiful day. A chance to have a new addition to our life’s journal. Life can be so awesome all we have to do is allow it.
Let the Biological Clock Tick
1992 may not mean much for some people, it was the year when a seed got planted into my subconscious. My Cousin Vinny had a part in the movie that stuck out to me. It was the porch scene when Mona Lisa Vito she was talking to Vinny she goes “My biological clock is [taps her foot] ticking like this.” that one little line would get me into trouble nine years later. In my twenties I was in a rush to do everything and placed a time on when important events were to happen. I have since learned that anything that requires a long term commitment allow the biological clock to tick. The last thing that should be done is forcing something that should not be. In my opinion the saying “You make your bed hard now you have to lay it” should not be forever for anyone.
We should not act like an ambitious entrepreneur or a pushy car salesman when it comes to pursuing relationships or having children. These situations effects more than just one person. I know that people always say that we must be careful who we have children with because we are stuck with the person for 18 years. I disagree having a child with a person is a lifetime commitment just because a child becomes 18 doesn’t mean that they will no longer need you. When the children graduate from college, get married or have their very own kids guess who else will be there besides you? I’m not being negative just realistic. As a matter of fact we should base these kinds of decisions on how our partner would treat us in case things don’t work out. A person who truly loves a person would not want to see the person hurt even if they are angry with them.
Real love is true love that at times have it’s ups and downs which should not be confused with red flags. Ups and downs in a relationship is when the love has been tested and proven that it’s meant. Therefore a relationship that is meant one puts in the work to keep it. Red flags are signs that have been popping up from the very beginning but they were ignored. Most times when a relationship is not meant family and trusted friends can see that it’s not. People on the outside tend to be able to see things better than those that are on the inside. It’s important to be wise about these things. Also sometimes loneliness and low self esteem can a play role how things get viewed. It’s all about realizing that we are worthy of the best. Single people should look at happy couples as an inspiration of what destiny has to bring but it won’t happen by rushing it. I truly believe that every person that comes into our lives are for a reason. Still some are for a season and some are permanent it’s all about knowing that difference. That is why I have learned to ignore the biological clock it can tick away I trust God and I know that everything will be okay.
My Boys
One of the things that
I am most proud of being
Is a mother
My two greatest creations
Were added to this nation
Wonderful young men
Growing up I
Came from a family of girls
So that’s what I wanted
But God always knows best
He blessed me with sons
They mean so much to me
I’m grateful to be their mommy
One is so funny
The other looks just like me
I could not have asked for more
Looking forward to sharing
Magical moments to look back on
We have many things to explore
Smiling faces, hugs, kisses and more
My two boys
Whom I truly adore
