Put A Lock On It

Hey Everybody!!! Blessings to All!!!

Man going back to college this time around really is keeping me way busy. I’m glad that it has it got me to thinking about a whole lot of things. I was looking at a Wi-Fi signal with a lock on it and boy did that get my creative juices flowing. I am a people person and I do enjoy people of all nationalities.  As a Christian I do love all of my brothers and sisters. I’ve always have been inquisitive something about getting to know a person sparks my curiosity. Now that I am in this Cross-Cultural class it’s really has gotten me in more interested in people. As I have said before I feel that everyone has something to offer that’s worth knowing. The key is what’s worth knowing and what’s not. Indeed God sends everyone into our lives for a reason if only for a season. It’s important when to hold on, let go or not let a person in from the start. Some people may cross our paths as a demonstration of what you don’t want or need.

I have become a lot more cautious of whom I connect to. I have learned to put a lock on my connection. Have you ever noticed some of the places that offer free Wi-Fi but sometimes the connection is  crappy? Well our spirits are like Wi-Fi they can’t stay connected all the time especially with people who drains you. Even phone companies after a certain amount of data usage it gets reduced. I want to connect to as many people as I can. I want to brighten days and put smiles on people’s faces. After all the best things in life are free. Still I don’t want the wrong kinds of people connecting with me to download what they can from me it’s can drain my spirit. I want my data usage to stay up and so I have decided to place a lock on who I connect to. God maybe sending someone my way to inspire it’s okay to have a cut off point if we give too much away we won’t have anything left for ourselves.

Thank You Jesus

As I have shared I have started back to college and I cannot believe that I am done with my first course already. The start was rocky but with God’s help I kept pushing. I have come up with ways to stay focused. I’m super excited. I received an A. This is a giant step of a life changing  journey. I know that I could not have done it by myself. When I think of all the many times that God has brought me through I simply cannot thank Him enough. If I had a million tongues and  hands it still wouldn’t be enough to thank Him or Praise Him. I’m thankful that He can look into my heart. I just want to Thank You Jesus!

1 Thessalonians 5:18 – In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Breaking My Heart

Three police officers were murdered this is just so heartbreaking. Being a police officer is a tough job. They risk their lives for people some don’t care.Prayers are going up for the officers and their families. The violence must stop. Father God please step in and bring more peace into this world.

I wrote a report on bias for class. The media has an huge influence on society. So quick to put out stories and people make quick decisions with part of a story. How many police officers are there thousands most are doing their jobs and that’s something that everyone needs to think about.

Blossom

Blossom- mature or develop in a promising or healthy way

Like the flowers in the spring love can become a beautiful thing. Love doesn’t need help to start in fact I believe when it’s rushed or forced it tends to fall apart. I was watching TWD and it got me to thinking about Rick and Michonne romance. It wasn’t rushed it happened slowly over time. I know what you are thinking “Tameeka what are you talking about.” The chemistry between Rick and Michonne was happening in a subtle way from almost day one. Real love starts very much that way. When Rick and Michonne shared their first kiss I was super excited. I loved seeing interracial love happening in a huge way. Though I always stress that love has no color.

When we are in love we hope and we pray that it doesn’t go away. Love is something that we want to last forever. We all want to experience the love from the 1940’s, 1950’s or even earlier when people fought for what they wanted and won. When all they had were letters and telegrams to rely on yet with all of the technology of today. Holding on to love should be less harder. Indeed it’s the question of the heart and the will to not give up. But we have to allow God to guide us and we have it trust the process. We will know when we have it can’t be ignored .

As I have said before I am not a hopeless romantic but I do admire the beauty of true love. I mean who doesn’t? I’d love to experience real love Rick and Michonne style. You know the kind where the two people involved don’t care about what outsiders think but the people on the outside knows that it’s real. So they want to experience it for themselves. Yes love is so incredibly awesome.

It Just Flows

Having the mindset of not caring about what others think of you is absolutely total freedom. When you care only about what God thinks of you the positivity just flows. I want what God wants and God has the best for us all. It feels wonderful to think positive. I love it so much. Thankful for all the positive vibes that God sends my way. I just want good things always and for others.

Reflection

My My My time flies doesn’t it? Where does it go? This week is the last week of the course that I have been taking. The last assignment that I had to turn in is a writing about my reflection of the course. What will I do differently in my next course? What will I continue to do?  It got me to thinking ( which is no surprise) not just about this course but my walk with Christ, my sons, my relationships my past period. It had me feeling perplexed for a split second. My life though not perfect I’m content with my decisions because I have Christ in my life. Like what was I even thinking my life is beyond a book report this isn’t the movie the Breakfast Club. Anyway I trust God with everything always if there’s one that I have learned that’s report worthy I am nothing without God. I will not push Him out of my life He has brought me a long ways for that I am truly thankful. Sometimes I just like to write out how awesome that God is not that I could ever forget.

Recently and this is kinda off topic I lost contact with one of my close friends for some reason they were on my mind heavily. This friend was a Christian too on fire for God when I spoke with them it turned out that they had experienced a huge tragedy and in fact has turned away from God. What a bummer. I mean really everything that happens in our lives is not God’s fault all the time. It is sometimes the devil or our poor choices that put us into certain situations.

Having a strong relationship with God helps with understanding many things I may hurt but I won’t allow anything to cause me to fall away from Christ. When I think back on the many times that God has helped me there is just no way that I can turn away from Him. Some of the worst times that occurred was when my relationship with Christ wasn’t as strong. What I have learned is that the devil attacks us at our weakest time. But with God He keeps us strong all we have to do is trust Him. He speaks to us, comforts us, loves us and guides us all we have to do is let Him.

 

Ruin My Blessings

Ummmm no way

The devil can forget it

I’m not allowing him

To ruin my blessings

I want to pass the test

So I am doing my best

This I promise

Christ is my strength

He always has been

Since the very beginning

With Christ in my life

I am winning

That’s why I won’t

Allow nothing to

Ruin my chances

Of receiving my blessings

Sometimes when we aren’t focused

We can miss what

God has sent

Looking in the wrong direction

And paying attention to distractions

I have learned my lessons
