Growing up math and science were my favorite subjects. Though the two are different math is used in science like Chemistry. I’m super excited about my upcoming class it’s Biology Nutritional science!!! I so can not wait to begin I love how God already put me in the mindset about clean eating. Eating clean keeps us healthy a huge part of staying on track is what we eat like 70% the other percentage is exercising. I love walking and working out!!! Being at a healthy isn’t just about looking good but feeling good and living longer. Let’s be honest there aren’t many people who are obese living well up into their 60s, 70s and 80s. It’s all about honesty being over 200 pounds in not good. Our culture definitely has a lot to do with the way that we eat. But God is the guide in my life and yes I want Him in control of how much that I eat. Years ago I was an emotional eater whenever I got stressed I would eat it’s not good at all. Overeating is a very slippery slope that’s hard to walk back up on but it is possible. I want to live for a very long time. It’s important for me to watch my sons get older. It’s a beautiful thing seeing families with multiple generations. So ready for more additional steps on this amazing journey!

What’s Tameeka Listening To?
Years ago I used to watch a channel called the Worship Network. It is was on 24/7 Christian music was played with beautiful things in some of the videos like waterfalls and beaches. This is one of my favorite songs that played on the channel it is called Grace.
Why Us?
Just the other day
I saw someone
Who looked like you
I looked twice too
Even though I knew
It couldn’t be true
If we could only go back
To the good ole days
When we both had
Big dreams
You and me
We could have have done anything
We could have been something great
Who knew that one mistake
Would control our fate
You wanted to succeed
By any means
Even on the streets
Day in and day out
At you I would fuss
I told you that the
Street life was dangerous
You had no faith in my words
You had no trust
Now look
I have to ask
Why us
Why us
What about our kids
How do I explain this
The pain that I feel
Is tremendous
This situation is big
How do I forgive
What a way to live
God knows I once loved you
This is true
I don’t know
Which is worse
You six feet under
Or you being sentenced
To twenty-five years in prison
Either way there is distance
Between us
What a life lesson
What a way to learn
The hard way
Everyday I think
Of that 2006 bust
And sitting here thinking
Why us
Why us
One Step Closer
Another course down as time flies by I inch closer to reaching my goal of receiving my bachelor’s degree and later my master’s degree. Cross Cultural psychology was so interesting the course made me more open minded definitely.I’m thanking God constantly with Him I will be successful. Claiming it. Claiming it. I was extremely excited when I received a A on my report. The report had to be seven pages long psychology consistent of a lot writing it definitely exercises the skills of language, strategy, focus and time management. So proud of myself and I pray for everyone who has a mission that they want to complete. It will be done. With God on our sides we can all accomplish much this I believe truly. There are other things that I want to do too. The Bible says to write it down and make it plain. I have done what the Bible has said and everything has come to pass.
Habakkuk 2:2
And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
One of the best decisions that I made in my life was to follow God and to allow Him to be in my life.
Getting an Education
Education is one of the few things that a person can earn that can not be taken away. Why stop at a high school diploma? Whether we choose to believe it or not getting an education is valuable. Doctors needs education, Lawyers need education, Dentist need education, Engineers need education etc it doesn’t hurt to have it. One of the proudest moments of my life was receiving my associates degree I am working on the rest of my bachelor’s degree. I may stop at my Master’s degree God willing of course. Going to college may not be for everyone but don’t knock the people who choose to add more education to their life resume. I don’t care which road that you choose everyone will encounter getting more training on the job in order to keep their job or to receive an promotion that’s more knowledge education is knowledge. Everyone’s life roads begin in different directions God has something special planned for all of our lives. The more we know the more we grow.
What’s Tameeka Listening To?
The 90s was the end of a great music era. The whole ten years of the 90s ruled. In 1995 Duncan Sheik made his debut the first single off the album for called Barely Breathing. I loved the whole entire album so many awesome memories. I love the guitar melody in Serena and She runs away. Check it out:
Jesus I Love You
I love to laugh, joke, write, and watch football to name a few still I love Christ the must! I love music sweet, sweet music especially worship music!!! I love to praise God. It is absolutely the best feeling in the world to lift your hands up high and wide with tears in your eyes. I was blessed to come across a song by Highland Worship called Here I Surrender. I love the lyrics in that song it just touches my soul unlike any other song. The lyrics go:
High and Holy King
You had it all and you left everything. You walked the Earth beneath to make a way for me. Humbled to a cross You suffered death and paid the highest cost. You died so I could live. You washed away my sin. Now I can see You. Now I can know You. Now my heart has a song to sing. Jesus I love You. Oh, How I love You. You have my heart. My everything.
Beautiful lyrics they go so wonderful over the melody and vocals everything just flowed. I kept singing it over and over. If you can please check out this song you will love it.
Be True
Be you
Be true
Be who God made you to be
Because that is what you
Are called to do
Be original
Not a copy
When you are not
You will be exposed
And everyone will know
Being fake always show
If you have to change who you are
For someone let them go
When it comes to being you
Don’t be practical
Making any adjustments
Makes you less than who you are
And that’s factual
Fake people make me sick
Not trying to sneak diss
Besides my Christian
Heart won’t allow it
So I won’t put people
On blast
I’ll pass on that
Because being fake
Won’t last
Just wanted to address it
What people have to understand is
That we must impress God
No man
Not being true
Does everyone a disservice
Outsiders aren’t fooled
So the jokes on you
Be you
And the right people
Will flock to you
Real people have the mindset
To be true
We don’t follow the trend
We set it
Which is brilliant
Real people are winning
Feeling like a million
We don’t change like a chameleon
Jammin to Queen
We are the champions
My friend
And we’ll keep being
Real til the end
Bandwagon Fans
We see it all the time
I be weak
Like weren’t you rooting
For another team
Just last week
Fake football fans
They can be both women and men
I don’t know why they do it
Why don’t they try getting
Into another sport
Like swimming
There is not much to
Keep up with
You just to watch them swim
From one end to another
Bandwagon fans make me
Get annoyed Oh Brother
I just can’t
It’s so whack
They have very little knowledge
Of the game
They just can’t keep track
Barely knowing who is
The starting running back
Or even the quarterback
I just love making things harder
Asking them the names
Of the active players
Of the 2016 Roster
That will reveal the impostors
The ultimate problem solver
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.
