I have heard some people say that it isn’t being fake if you deal with a person that you don’t like. To me it is being fake and there should be an age limit on being fake. Being an adult is understanding that not everyone is going to like us and that’s okay. As long as God loves us it’s all good.

Protected Under The Blood
Very superstitious, writings on the wall Very superstitious, ladders bout’ to fall Thirteen month old baby Broke the lookin’ glass.Seven years of bad luck, The good things in your past……………. Most people know the rest of these lyrics they are from the song Superstition by Stevie Wonder.
Today is Friday the 13th and there are some people who have their opinions about it. Some people believe that it is a day of bad luck. I have a family member who will not go anywhere on Friday the 13th. She handles all of her business all during the week prior to Friday. According to her she has experienced bad luck on the 13th. She has not been out on that date in awhile I keep trying to get her to not be a slave to that belief. I pray that one day she will break free of it.
To me what is a particular date or day suppose to mean?!? They have absolutely no power.We are protected under the Blood!!! God has our backs!
No You No Me
Like a line dance
We step together
Your love is like no other
Higher than the highest
Amount of the lottery
Infinite like space
You are my compass
Without You I am lost
In You I place my full trust
Even though I can’t see You
I know that You are here
Doing everything that You
Can to show that You care
It’s so rewarding
For You I live and breathe
I am willing to do anything
You are all that I need
Without You I am nothing
No You No me
You are my everything
You are life
I pray to You
Nobody can love me
Like You do
Long to have the
Best relationship with You
You have brought me from
A long ways I am thankful
To You Father God always
All I want to do
Is spend my life
Showing You how special
That You are
The best part of my life
My mission from this day forward
Will always be
To have You see
Have You Believe
That if there is no You
There is no me
What About Your Soul?
Time for a pep talk it will perk up your day like a strong cup of coffee. Yummy! Indeed while we are here we are to make the most of things. Have a great career, children, big house, being healthy and happy. There is nothing more important then knowing where is your soul going to go simple because while we are what we feel are most important won’t matter once we are gone.
So how are your eyes? Do you see the best in people? When was the last time you read the Bible? How is your hearing? Are you listening to people truly?How is your water intake? How much living water are you drinking? How is your heart? Do you feel compassion for others? How is your mind? Do you think of ways to encourage people? How are you hands? How often you put them together to pray? How is your diet? When was the last time that you fasted? Most importantly how is your relationship with God have you ask Him to work on everything about you so you can be ready once He return. He is coming back.
The Ozzy and Sharon Split
I know what you are thinking “What?!? Tameeka is writing about Ozzy? Yes I am. Everyone knows that I love music and yes I enjoy some of Ozzy Osbourne’s music. This couple are in their sixties and are splitting up Ozzy is 67 and Sharon is 63. They are at social security ages. Things are so messed now a days.
In a marriage there is no I in the word team. A husband and I wife are a team. My question is what made Ozzy do this? What made him cheat? I know that Sharon is busy did he feel neglected? I am not making excuses for Ozzy and it’s not okay to cheat still I would love to hear what he has to say.
I know that’s it’s hard being famous I never will be famous nor do I want to be. Celebrities can have the fame it’s not worth the headache. More than likely the woman that he was with did it because he is famous. One thing a man most keep in mind whether they are rich, famous, handsome, successful, poor etc if you are involved with a woman and you guys are happy a woman who tries to pursue you is no good. That woman wants what you have and want your woman’s happiness. Mature strong minded people understand that not everyone have the same chemistry together everyone is not meant to be your wife or husband. Everyone aren’t dynamite.If you have a good thing don’t mess it up it is just not worth it.
So the question is should Sharon stay or go? I guess it’s all about what she is willing to take. Cheating is one of the main reasons why marriages end. I just pray for marriages that are in trouble and the good marriages to stay strong. We know who is responsible for a marriage failing the evil one he comes to kill, steal and destroy. We can not let him win. God is in control and He will do what He sees fit.
Knowing Our Role
I already know that this post will not go over well with people and I am fine with it. On Be Lifted the things that are thought about are talked about in a positive and encouraging way. Time may change but the Word of God never will. As I always say technology, broken homes and cowardly men has messed up people’s minds. Every Word that’s in the Bible are there for a reason. I have had people tell me that I should be a pastor and every time it comes up I say no. Speaking for myself I understand my role and I am fine with it. I respect God’s Word.
I once had a person talk to me about being a pastor and they referred to Christ telling Mary to tell the Disciples that He rose. Mary went to His tomb it could have been anyone at the time in my opinion. The Disciples missed Christ and were mourning Him. Christ told the Disciples to go and tell the world about Him. The Disciples were twelve men. That’s how I feel and it won’t change.
Society has things all messed up if God put the man as the head of the household it makes sense for the woman not be the head of a church. Everyone is not meant to do everything we must understand our position and play it well. Even though I am physically the head of my household because of reasons that I have no control over God has the ultimate say in my life as well as my household. I will not allow what society is doing along with what’s going on in my life to close my eyes to what is in the Bible.
What I am saying needs to be said look at America we have no boundaries almost every line has been crossed without any second thought. Everyone wants to adjust God’s Word. I know that I need work and God has worked on me He still is. We can not change for the better if we refuse to accept God’s Word. Again I am not a preacher or a teacher I am Tameeka. As the Rock says from WWE know your role and shut your mouth. The truth is only a hard pill to swallow when one is full of themselves so go on the diet of Truth. You will be healthy in no time. Let’s face the facts if our way are so much better then why is society so screwed up and why am I so tired of running my household? God’s thinking and ways are higher than ours.
Ephesians 5:22
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands as unto the Lord.
1 Timothy 2:12
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
A Noose Around A Brother’s Neck
Yes child support is for children of every race this is understood. I am writing this pertaining to a video.So there’s a guy whose video that I came across on YouTube claiming that child support is a noose around a black man’s neck. The guy who made the video claimed that it was a way to keep a black man down. Let me start off by saying two things one is that the guy is biased against women and two as long as I watch YouTube I will not run out of things to write about. Feeling the way that I felt I still watched the video in it’s entirety and it interested me so much that I had to blog about. Just couldn’t pass up this topic it is a hot one.
There are so many stories that I have pertaining to mothers, fathers and child support. The situation has plenty of blame to go around. It’s ashame that the government has to get involved to make a parent do right. Yes there are some women who pay child support however it’s mostly men. It makes me upset when people starts to point fingers just do what you are suppose to do as a parent. When you get involved with a person think are they a person that you can see yourself marrying or having children with them? If the answer is no then don’t risk the chance of being tied to that person with a lifetime commitment. Are there some spiteful money hungry women who use the money on other things besides their children? Yes but you saw the signs there are always signs you just choose to ignore the red flags. Am I saying that a person deserves to be stressed out forever with drama? No but don’t take a chance and gamble. When a person shows you who they are believe them.
Indeed there is a time to be private and there’s a time to help with your story. Imagine if no one shared their testimonies and stories it’s important to encourage as many people as we can. It may help someone out and that’s an awesome thing. As I have shared I am a single parent of two sons and I am doing as best as I can WITHOUT child support. My children’s father was in prison for basically ten years and I did NOT put him on child support. Even while a person is in prison they can be placed on child support I choose to opt out of that choice. My ex has been out since November and has Not seen his children after ten years. Does it make me upset how he treats our children? Yes of course however I place things into God’s hands He will handle things. I’m Not spiteful here’s why I have Not sought child support the agent would throw him back into jail and that doesn’t do either one of us any good. I’m giving him time to get on his feet and an opportunity to do what he can however I have a time limit trust me.
Let’s look at things like this why would a person try to hurt another? Perhaps there are still feelings there I do Not have feelings for my ex it’s about our children. Our children have been through enough and do Not deserve any additional heartache. If you love your children make it about your children Not about your ex. The children did not ask to come here. Some of you mothers quit trying to hurt the father by digging into his pockets in the hopes that no woman will want him because we all know that it won’t happen. Fathers child support is not worth more than time spent with your children. Call your children more often, visit them, and yes you can date as well as move on however take your children with you. Our ex is our past but our children are a lifetime commitment honor it and don’t ever forget that. Put your grownup pants on and co-parent properly.
Dare To Dream
Don’t need a huge vocabulary
Many words have the same meaning
There’s no need to get all fancy
Just want to say that it’s
Okay to dream
As much as you want
God will make it happen
That’s what I was taught
Forget about what negative
People think
Make believe
Are the words of
The people who don’t
Want to see
It’s okay
Dare to dream
It may not happen
Over night
It may not
Happen at all
But at least
You know that
You tried right
Sometimes we start
In one direction
And wind up
On the opposite side
It may take that
For what is
Destined to be
Never be afraid
To Dream
It can become
A reality
But you have
To want it
So begin
Allow nothing to stop you
