God

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.

The Green Eyed Monster

Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s . I just wanted to clarify not that it matters what people think, only what God thinks is what’s important.

There is a poem on my blog called My Love in it I express that I have jealousy for a man who I care about. In my opinion a little jealousy is healthy if not then pray for me, please. To me it’s healthy I don’t have jealousy to the point that it becomes an obsession. I won’t go all Lizzy Borden on a guy but I have a fear of losing a man that I care about.

Quite frankly I feel that too often people hold back and that doesn’t help the relationship falling in love requires being vulnerable and the chances of getting hurt as well. Besides feeling jealousy about a man that I cared about is different I have no jealousy towards or about others. I only want what God has for me which is the best and He will bless us all. There is absolutely no reason to be envious of what another person has I mean come on it’s like driving a car and looking all into someone else’s or expecting to get full from someone else’s plate.

Every human being has their own race to run  we’ll never reach the finish line trying to run a race that is not our own. I refuse to miss out on the blessings that God has for me because I am worried about someone else’s. One thing about God He is a show off God when He stunts He stunts hard. God goes hard in the paint when He bless us not with sprinkles either but a shower!!!!! Therefore I wait on the man of the hour and that God Almighty He’s got me!!!!! God’s has all of our backs.

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
