Make It A Great Day

I once had a person tell me that I am very optimistic that was a awesome compliment. While I am very optimistic person it’s not all of my doing but God’s navigation. My relationship with Christ is everything. How we think controls the direction we go. Everyone has experienced a bad day before and it begins with one bad situation. We have all been guilty of saying I know that it’s going to be a bad day based off of a bad start. Remember the book that we read growing up called  Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, published in 1972, it was an ALA Notable Children’s Book written by Judith Viorst. Alexander keep saying I knew it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day we can literally speak things in to our lives soooooo let’s choose to speak life. Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

I know that we all have experienced some bad things but you know what those things are over. And we definitely show never look around at what other people have or are an compare. We should always look at another people’s lives as an inspiration and that’s all. In life at times we are up and we are down but the world keeps spinning. Situations doesn’t control who we are in Christ. God has an amazing life for us all and it consists of different kinds of days. So let’s live our lives with the mindset of making everyday our best day.

Forever True

Maannnnn college has me so busy there are so many things that I want to write about a lot has taken place I will be catching up on allllllll of that soon. I’ve shared quite a bit of my thoughts on my blog besides God and my children there’s nothing more important to me than loyalty. The state of the world at times is incredibly sad I mean important things mean so little. It cost nothing to be loyal to be true but at a flip of a switch people’s loyalty change real quick. If you want to see how loyal a person is suddenly become of no use anymore or get into a bind. Example I am a huge Dallas Cowboys fan our quarterback became injured in the beginning there was so many people rooting for Dallas there were so many profile pictures with Dallas’s logo. Now after Tony Romo’s injury people deserted Dallas tumbleweeds are blowing all across Facebook. I’m so waiting for Billy the Kid and Jesse James to come galloping through to the tune of the song Tumbling Tumbleweeds. It’s a real shame the extent of some people’s loyalty so comical. While it’s said that no man is an island it’s definitely a blessing to have God He’s loyalty and loves never runs out or fail. Maybe some people have a lack of loyalty because they don’t know the meaning. Anyway I am loyal to my Dallas Cowboys always that will never change.

Biology Class

Growing up math and science were my favorite subjects. Though the two are different math is used in science like Chemistry. I’m super excited about my upcoming class it’s Biology Nutritional science!!! I so can not wait to begin I love how God already put me in the mindset about clean eating. Eating clean keeps us healthy a huge part of staying on track is what we eat like 70% the other percentage is exercising. I love walking and working out!!! Being at a healthy isn’t just about looking good but feeling good and living longer. Let’s be honest there aren’t many people who are obese living well up into their 60s, 70s and 80s. It’s all about honesty being over 200 pounds in not good. Our culture definitely has a lot to do with the way that we eat. But God is the guide in my life and yes I want Him in control of how much that I eat. Years ago I was an emotional eater whenever I got stressed I would eat it’s not good at all. Overeating is a very slippery slope that’s hard to walk back up on but it is possible. I want to live for a very long time. It’s important for me to watch my sons get older. It’s a beautiful thing seeing families with multiple generations. So ready for more additional steps on this amazing journey!

Why Us?

Just the other day

I saw someone

Who looked like you

I looked twice too

Even though I knew

It couldn’t be true

If we could only go back

To the good ole days

When we both had

Big dreams

You and me

We could have have done anything

We could have been something great

Who knew that one mistake

Would control our fate

You wanted to succeed

By any means

Even on the streets

Day in and day out

At you I would fuss

I told you that the

Street life was dangerous

You had no faith in my words

You had no trust

Now look

I have to ask

Why us

Why us

What about our kids

How do I explain this

The pain that I feel

Is tremendous

This situation is big

How do I forgive

What a way to live

God knows I once loved you

This is true

I don’t know

Which is worse

You six feet under

Or you being sentenced

To twenty-five years in prison

Either way there is distance

Between us

What a life lesson

What a way to learn

The hard way

Everyday I think

Of that 2006 bust

And sitting here thinking

Why us

Why us

One Step Closer

Another course down as time flies by I inch closer to reaching my goal of receiving my bachelor’s degree and later my master’s degree. Cross Cultural psychology was so interesting the course made me more open minded definitely.I’m thanking God constantly with Him I will be successful. Claiming it. Claiming it. I was extremely excited when I received a A on my report. The report had to be seven pages long psychology consistent of a lot writing it definitely exercises the skills of language, strategy, focus and time management. So proud of myself and I pray for everyone who has a mission that they want to complete. It will be done. With God on our sides we can all accomplish much this I believe truly. There are other things that I want to do too. The Bible says to write it down and make it plain. I have done what the Bible has said and everything has come to pass.

Habakkuk 2:2

And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

One of the best decisions that I made in my life was to follow God and to allow Him to be in my life.

 

Getting an Education

Education is one of the few things that a person can earn that can not be taken away. Why stop at a high school diploma? Whether we choose to believe it or not getting an education is valuable. Doctors needs education, Lawyers need education, Dentist need education, Engineers need education etc it doesn’t hurt to have it. One of the proudest moments of my life was receiving my associates degree I am working on the rest of my bachelor’s degree. I may stop at my Master’s degree God willing of course. Going to college may not be for everyone but don’t knock the people who choose to add more education to their life resume. I don’t care which road that you choose everyone will encounter getting more training on the job in order to keep their job or to receive an promotion that’s more knowledge education is knowledge. Everyone’s life roads begin in different directions God has something special planned for all of our lives.  The more we know the more we grow.

What’s Tameeka Listening To?

The 90s was the end of a great music era. The whole ten years of the 90s ruled. In 1995 Duncan Sheik made his debut the first single off the album for called Barely Breathing. I loved the whole entire album so many awesome memories. I love the guitar melody in Serena and She runs away. Check it out:

Clean Eating

The Bible has scripture on what to eat. God filled the Earth with great food that will keep us healthy, looking fabulous and living longer. Today was Angela Bassett birthday the woman looks amazing for 58 years old if we take care of our body it will take care of us. Processed food, fried food and too much red meat is not good for our bodies. Eating clean, exercising and determination will help to keep us healthy.
