Value Yourself

Today I listened to a speaker who spoke on the way women carry themselves.
We don't place value on the gift God has given us to procreate and bring life into the world.
Don't get me wrong, I too have given into the temptations of flesh thinking that what he was selling was worth me buying
A real man with real intentions will not require you to devalue yourself.
He should be willing to add value to you.
So when you choose to involve yourself with someone of the opposite sex, you have the right to decide if he'll value or devalue your life.
The gift you have shouldn't be taken lightly or given to just anyone.
We sometimes think that if we don't give into what the man is asking, he will no longer desire us.
If he wants to get to know the real you, that will be the farthest thing from his mind.
He'll want to get to know you before "getting" to know you.
The media has a great influence on how we carry ourselves but never promoting the right way to carry ourselves
So no one will value you, unless you value yourself first and the most precious gift God has given you.
I say again, a real man will add value not devalue you.
Value yourself no matter how hard it may seem.
In the end, you'll be glad you did.

Reflections June 20, 2009

Today I went to a seminar entitled "The State of The Black Family" and heard Minister Farrakhan speak for the first time. Funny how I allowed the views of someone else to prevent me from ever hearing him speak until now. Of course everything he had to say applied to my life in some kind of way. It has opened my curiosity up into whatever else he has spoken about. Sometimes you can miss out on something wonderful being closed minded. I also believe that maybe I wouldn't have been receptive to what he had to say early on and this was the time I needed to hear him. I am making some changes in my life that will bring my relationship with God closer and he keeps putting me in places to help expedite the move. I realize some things will get into my path and try to detour my journey but this time around I will not allow my journey to be misguided. God has spoken unto my ♥​ and I know what I must do. I know my gift is a gift he has given me to inspire others and I am workin towards doing so.

Funny How

Funny how some people want something when they can't have it but don't want it when they can.
Tried to keep it real as best as I know how but yet and still others don't know how.
Not being honest about things in their life
Thinking it's okay to add another person to the mix
Just to see if they can get that first time hit
Not once thinking there will be a time
When they're no longer on a person's mind
Moving on to the next level
Don't have time for drama and trouble
Only have one life to live
I'd rather give to those who mean well
And the rest can go to hell
Don't misunderstand I'm nor angry or sad
Just not gonna allow people to keep treatin me bad
Everyone deserves what they're worth and nobody should treat anyone like dirt
For what you put out there comes back to you and it may not come as you expect it to
So do unto others as you'll have them do unto you
It's a simple basic golden rule

It's Been Awhile

For a moment I tried to escape the reality
Tried to deny what my ♥​ has been telling me
Even still when I thought I'd had enough
And I wanted to be set free
My thoughts always came back to you and me
The more I tried to deny
My feelings for you
The more I realized the truth
No one else compares to you
Our level of connection
Is deeper than I've ever known
My life would be missing something
If I no longer knew you
I cannot contain what I know to be true
How deeply I care and am still feeling you
I thought our time came and went
Or the fear to commit
To a unique connection we both share
Which sometimes gives us hesitation
Of the unknown purpose of our paths crossing
No matter how long fate takes
Our purpose in life
Is revealed day by day
No matter what the future holds
Truth be told
My world wouldn't be the same
Without you in it
And so once again
I wanted to express myself to you
It was something I needed to do
