Tameeka’s Lovely Day
Yesterday was a beautiful day of course everyday is blessed, Yes! My birthday was absolutely awesome I received an huge amount of text messages, phone calls, inbox messages, emails and posts on my wall. It’s nice to feel loved that’s why love was created.
Second day of my new age and it’s time to gain more insight than ever before. Want to let you guys in on a secret I love blogging it’s helping me to polish up on my grammar and dust the cobwebs off my brain getting the creative juices flowing. Yeah!!!
It’s so exciting and I am emancipating about what God has in store. I am super, duper pumped. My goals for Be Lifted is to talk about the things that are thought about in positive and encouraging way. I still want people to feel uplifting vibes when they read my blogs and listen to my podcasts these things are essential. Very ready to add to my vision with God in control the outcome will be wonderful always. Blessings to Everyone!
Skin Deep
My brother my brother seriously
Some of you claim to care
About what’s happening
Within our black community
Yet some are you guys insults
Are never ending
Everyone of us are free to love
Who we choose and it has
Nothing to do with any of you
The only thing that any of us
Are obligated to do
Is pull and uplifted one another
In our community
Some of you guys needs to develop
More of an understanding
Be more loving
God has much to be
I am ready for what He has for me
Therefore I am not worry about
What other people think
Anyway negativity comes off
As a bunch of noise
So I will treat it as if
I have Van Gogh’s ear for music
Recently my mind and heart
Had an epiphany
It was as loud as an
Mozart No. 41 symphony
How can some of you claim
To say that you are madly in love
With a special loved one
But can not see others happy
Com’on now some of you guys views
On interracial dating went
Out in the 60’s
Get real
What exactly are some of your guys deal
You will not steal my joy
Black White Asian
We are all human
Can some of you black brothers
Explain to me how it is that
You say that appreciate a sister
For what’s on the inside
Yet you can’t get pass the outside
We are all the same underneath
Try looking beyond the skin color
How can we move forward
With this backwards thinking
Before you think that
I am a sister who is hurt or scorn
Let me stop you right there
I want what I want
By attacking me or others
Who dates like me
Show you don’t care clearly
No one can rain on my parade
Rattle my cage
Nor get me to change my mind
According to what you guys think
I’m throwing negative thinking back
Like a boomerang
Love was created to be learned
Then shared and cherished
With the one that we adore
Regardless of their color
I thought with all of the books
And advanced technology
That it would make people smarter
Have I held onto too much hope
Giving people so much of
The benefit of the doubt
As deep as space
That’s requires looking
Through a telescope
Judging me according to
My preference is not fair
I get asked questions
Like a questionnaire
Millions like a millionaire
Some brothers say that
They have all the answers
And not one of them can
Stop a person from being single
I want a white knight
That’s what’s right for me
Have him sing the lyrics
Of “Her” in my ear
By Majid Jordan
Going “I’m on the way
To finding out exactly
How to treat her right
Another day and I’ve been waiting
But I’ve been waiting
My whole life to find
Someone like her”
A woman longs to
Not feel as if she’s invisible
Much how some brothers
Treat us sisters
Women get tired of hearing
Words of hate
Thinking that we have to accept it
Is a huge mistake
Mistreatment is becoming too familiar
It’s something that isn’t deserved
A woman seeks one who
Will see her as a beautiful creation
One that embraces
All of her imperfections
Without any objections
One who is attentive
Has an ear that hears
Her words and receive
Them as part of
Understanding communication
Mere venting and not calling
It meaningless ranting
See the truest love
Is one that’s beyond
Skin color and what any
Human eyes can see
Know that what will be will be
Staying On Track
Staying on track it seemed like it was a major task all of this week there were situations that have come along to make me question what I am doing. Well I refuse to do that. What is meant for a person to do not everyone will understand as long as you do that’s all that matters. I enjoy blogging it’s not a hobby to me if it can inspire or help one person that is a success to me.As it’s said one will never know what being good hearted is until one does something without looking for anything in return. My dream isn’t to make it to Hollyweird way too old for that however I am old enough for the dream to do God’s Will.
You ever look at a track how it may bend but it’s still the same track. Situations may come along and try to throw you a curve however it’s okay. Nothing can stop for me from the things that I have have started to do. Have you seen an oak acorn? Look at how big an oak tree gets. Whatever it is that God has for me I will have and do what I must to get it. If I have to give myself the same pep talk over and over I will as well as scriptures. Two scriptures were placed on my heart strongly.
Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Philippians 4: 6-7
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
What’s Tameeka Listening To?
Very appropriate for today. God says to Fear Not. Superstition is stupid. It’s stupidstition don’t allow it to ruin your day.
It’s Time To Swirl
As I have shared before there is a lady that I follow on YouTube her name is Christelyn Karazin, she’s is incredibly awesome. Anyway she has just uploaded a video called I would never date a black woman. It’s a response video pertaining a video that circulating with black women who are upset about the black men who say that they would not date them. This is why I promote interracial dating. No one can make a person love them and no one should force themselves on anyone. Love is an energy it can’t be forced or faked. There will be a podcast made for this post. This is absolutely too good to pass up. At the end of the day I pray that everyone of every race experience love and that includes my black brothers.
Television and Christianity
Ahhhhhhh the television like the internet, social media and the radio it’s a tool that can be used to spread good or spread bad. It’s important for us to not allow it to use us and to effect us in a negative way. What should a Christian watch and what shouldn’t we watch?Certain television programs focus on negative things only so we definitely have to steer ourselves clear of that. There are good programs on TBN like movies and cartoons for our children. What doesn’t the Bible say: Matthew 6:22-23
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
How I Start My Blog
I started my blog the same way that I start my day with a Word of Prayer and a cup of some yummy coffee. Doing everything that I can to not repeat things it’s easy to run out of things to say good thing I have the gift of gab. I’m considering doing the Ray Bradbury thing have a room full of items to keep the ideas coming and no I will not become a hoarder. My mission is to talk about the things that most are afraid to talk about so the ideas for that is never ending. Before I started my blog I wrote two pages of what I plan to discuss which are sharing my favorite scriptures, songs and poetry so far my creative juices are flowing aiming to keep things interesting as well as not boring.
My Very First Podcast
I feel like Be Lifted sounds pretty good, what do you think?
