Choice

Would Not Change A Thing

I know that it maybe hard to believe

But out of my whole entire life

I wouldn’t change a thing

The highs

The lows

The people that I have come to know

And some I have let go

It was all apart of

What was suppose to be

At the time

When I was hurting

And was constantly praying

For the hurt to end

For my heart to mend

For the strength to

Not think of complaining

Even at the time

When it seemed as if

The troubles were doubling

God stepped in

He stopped my hurting

I’ve gain knowledge

So I have learned

That you can’t have

A testimony without the test

A message came from a mess

You can’t have the rainbow

Without the rain and the mud either

Things got me to see things clearly

Everything that has happened

Has molded me

Into a better person

So that’s why I say

Out of everything that has occurred

In my whole entire life

I would not change

Not one thing

 

No Just When

Lord I want You

In my life

Because I need You

In my life

No just when I am hurt

No just when I am alone

No just when I have been wronged

Not just when I am confused

Not just when I am feeling blue

Lord I need You

Because I am nothing without You

I have tired to do things

On my own and my way

And the result is always

One of an bad ending

When I should have consulted

You in the beginning

Past mistakes taught me

About having pride

And an ego

I will not let You go

And I ask You to

Please forgive me

I know better now

I see clearly

Lord I want You in life

For always

Not just when things

Are going wrong

But when things are going right

I know the good is because of You

So I want You

To be apart of everything

My happiness

My children

My money

My future marriage

My victories

So when I feel the need

To call on you every now and then

It won’t be  like it’s from a stranger

But more like a friend

 

How Far Should A Christian Go?

How far should a Christian go when it comes to helping a person that wants to come to our faith? I hear  a lot of Christian musicians speaking of them being a light in dark places. Some of these Christian artist go into clubs and really bad neighborhoods. Still how deep into the darkness can one go and be safe? I know Matthew 18:12 says How think ye? if  a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and forth into the mountains, and seeking that which is gone astray? Not questioning the protection of God He has our backs definitely.

It’s important to set some boundaries we all get weak our intentions are always good in the beginning but what happens in the middle and the end. Many are questioning Kirk Franklin’s collaboration with Kanye West. I like to compare situations like these to wearing all white clothes no matter how much you try to keep it clean a spot gets on it somehow. One can only stay so clean against something dirty. How much should we risk our own soul to help someone that’s coming to our faith? As far as I am concerned and I am no expert by far let’s use the analogy of saving a person from falling off of a cliff both people have to do their part or they will both go over the cliff. The same applies to a person who wants to come into our faith we are to welcome them, inspire them and help as much as we can. The key words are” help as much as we can”. No one is above backsliding that’s why it’s important for us to be careful. One has to have the want to to go with the help, things don’t work with help alone in order to have a garden one must plant the seeds for it to grow.

Straight Love

Straight love

Is great love

A connection between

A woman and a man

Is so wonderful

Call me homophobic

All you want

Claim that my heart

Is filled with hate

That won’t stop me

From being proud to be straight

You love who you choose

And I will too

When we stand before

God Almighty I will

Have to answer for what

I have done

Not pressed or calling

Out anyone

Not trying to get anybody

To change

Like everyone else

My choice will remain

I’m attracted to men only

A man’s build is so sexy

Would like to thank God

For creating something

That is so amazing

What I admire the most

Is a man that’s comfortable

With being who he is

Especially as he ages

Once again not

Trying to shove

My preference

Down anyone’s throat

Or force they’re eyes open

However I will

Promote Straight Love

 

 

Tameeka ‘s Christian Walk

I’m not deep, not a preacher or teacher. I’m Tameeka and when Tameeka stand before God that’s who I have to answer for. Praying that I don’t have to answer for someone else because of something that I have done. I never want to get so full of myself that I look down or judge someone else. Definitely don’t want to be a person who picks and chooses what I want out the Bible neither. I want to be pleasing to God by being the best Tameeka that I can be. Will I make mistakes sure being a Christian doesn’t come with a manual. As I always say what I take most from the Bible is how everyone of the people in it had various situations but they overcame them and endured. Everyday that I live I pray that my walk becomes stronger and when I am weak it’s okay I know that I can turn to God for help me. Not putting on a performance for what??? I’m only human and knowing this keeps me grounded. Don’t go off of my emotions or feelings I know whose in control and that’s God. I just stay focused on Him not man. Focusing on what man says means that I make them an idol annnnndddd not human beings are always changing. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, to day, and for ever.

Politics and Christianity

John 17:16 says “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” Romans 12:12 says “And be not conformed of this world: but ye transformed by the renews of your mind…” I get this still we have to vote to make sure that our beliefs are not put into jeopardy. As far as I am concerned I have never been as worried in my whole entire life about Christianity. I look around and this country looks so different from the 80’s and 90’s. I have said it before I will say it again I am proud to be a Christian. I don’t push what I believe on people but I don’t hide my love for Christ either.

In my household growing up one of the rules were when you turned eighteen you have to get registered to vote. My mother was democratic  it was because she felt like they were for the middle class and the poor. And yes she was a Christian too. I understood what my mother meant so I became democratic too. I was really young so of course I am going to follow what my mother felt.

As I have shared before my first real job was at a convenience store. The cool part about is that a variety of people comes in and I loved it. There was a really nice lady that came in she got her coffee. She and I began to talk and she introduced herself as Thelma Drake. I was amazed at her views and what she stood for and I voted for her. Sorry mom the lady was brilliant she got me to see things differently. The older that I got I began to realize that to me my faith was very important so I vote for those  that feel the same. Now I know many politicians will say anything to get elected but there are some that try their best to follow through.

What makes me sad is how ugly the elections can get and how it can separate people. To the point where agreeing to disagree can’t apply. It should never be made about race because it’s not. Perhaps what we all must keep in mind that America is like a ship if it goes down we are all effected by it. We must do what it takes to keep her great and unite instead of fight. I want what’s best for our country there’s a generation coming up behind us. So all I want is what is right for this beautiful nation.
