If It’s Real

If it’s real

You know the deal

You know exactly

How your love one feels

If it’s real

There’s no ifs, ands or buts

There’s trust

Things are consistent

There’s no room for questions

If it’s real

You see the relationship

As a blessing

Even through the ups and downs

Because there will be some

But one thing that

Should never be

And that’s the notion

Of whether a relationship is real

I Remember

Regardless of what we think took place on 9-11-01 or why, here is one huge fact many innocent people died that day based on that fact alone we should Never Forget. 9-11-01 has changed our lives forever.

I vividly remember that day I was pregnant with my oldest son and I was watching TV. The show that I was watching had the twin towers in it’s background. I saw the first plane hit the one of the towers chaos just broke out of everywhere. Watching people jumping to their deaths it was gut-wrenching. What person with any ounce of humanity wouldn’t feel anything for the people who died and loss family? I’m pray for our country daily because it’s definitely needed. We need to get back to being one nation under God. Let Him Back Into Our Country. We Need God!

We Are

I want to take a second to mention

Before I begin expressing

My affection for my

Beautiful black sisters

I am not a person

Who promotes division

Uplifting others

Is always my intentions

To spread positive messages

My sisters and I

Marches to the beat

Of a different drum

Some say that we are

Rude or have bad attitudes

But my dude that’s

The furthest from the truth

We are radiant

We are independent

We are grounded

We are strong

Yet we are also delicate

It’s part of being feminine

We do what we can

All by ourselves

Even if we needed help

We don’t stress

We are loyal

We are true

We sacrifice daily

For our beautiful babies

We endure pain

We don’t allow it

To turn inward

We don’t allow things to change us

Even though it should have

Drove us crazy

We love hard

We don’t give up

We are beautiful

We are courageous

We are captivating

Sometimes we can be complex

Certain situations

Can make us perplexed

If we get upset

We can’t stress it

For longer than a minute

Doing that is whack

Haven’t you heard the saying

That black don’t crack

Stress has to take a seat

Like several of them

Yes we are human

But that’s the extent of it

Even though there’s

Information that’s not accurate

Floating about meant to oppress us

We don’t answer to it

We don’t claim it

We know who we are

We are compassionate

We practice unity

We are women of substance

We have powerful spirits

We nurture intensely

Our goal is to

Accomplish positivity

Hopefully it’s passed

Down from generation to generation

What a feeling of gratification

We march to the beat of a

Different drum

And we answer to no one

Except for God Almighty

In heaven we are a part

Of the rhythm nation

 

 

 

Woot Woot!!

My My My Time has flown by. September 6th will make it six months since I have started my blog. I am pretty proud of everything that I have accomplished and there will be more much more. So far I stuck by what I have planned to do I’ve shared my love for Christ, my love for my sons, poetry, music, the Dallas Cowboys, made podcasts the list just goes on. I enjoy writing and I enjoy the freedom of expressing myself. I don’t know about anyone else but when I can’t express myself freely I feel like I’m suffocating. I have always been a strong supporter of people loving others according to God’s will of course. Interracial dating to me is a beautiful thing and I truly believe that God has someone special for us all. As I have shared I have always been attracted to white men for longs as I can remember. Growing up I was taught that that one person isn’t for everyone but that there is somebody for everybody. My mother only concerns was for me to be happy. She didn’t want to see me get hurt. A person can get hurt regardless of the color of their skin. While I always say that love has no color I simply cannot deny my attraction to white men. Recently I’ve become bold about how I feel and I am not alone. There are many black women who are dating and marrying outside of their race. Time are changing and people are loving whomever they choose to. Anyway in the future I do plan on staying on course as well as discussing a lot more things. Here’s to six more months!!! Woot to the Woot! Woot Woot!!

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.

School Experiment

I had to conduct a experiment for class. I had to take two IATs (Implicit Association Test) they are various ones a Race IAT, Straight/Gay IAT, Thin/Fat and Gender Career- Family IAT. I took all four of tests because I was curious about what the results would be. To be honest I was very skeptical until I saw the results. The Race IAT was whether a person preferred white people over black people. Look at what my results were

It got me to thinking if I were white most people would think that I was racist. I guess from my results people would think that I am a sell out or something. I think it should that I love all people regardless of their color. Praying that the world loves people despite their color of their skin. I just felt the tests were pretty cool. I told a lot of my friends and family about the test it’s quite interesting. I love learning something new everyday otherwise what’s the point. I once heard a saying a by Charlie Chaplin it goes a day without laughter is a day wasted. Well I fill a day without learning anything is a day wasted. After all a mind is a terrible thing to waste. Thanking God for giving me a heart and mind like mine. God is an awesome God.

 

Beautiful Things

There are certain parts of the day that really get me to appreciate God’s wonder. How can anyone look at God’s many creations and Not appreciate them. Things like the Word of God, prayer, crisp Autumn breezes, sunsets, sunrises, blue skies, blue oceans, friends, family and true love. So many wonderful things our God is an awesome God. A sunset is so beautiful it gets a person to relax and think nothing about reflecting upon a bad day. God has given us some things to help us to enjoy our lives here. I just want to thank Him for taking the time to create all of the beautiful things that He did. God loved us that much to created things that helps us to relax and become inspired. Do you know how many poems that there are written about the things that I mentioned above? Priceless things that inspires us like forever. Thank You Father God for blessing us to enjoy all of this beauty. Father God Father Your Are Magnificent.
