Chivarly Is Not Dead

It is so easy to hate something. And hate for a long time. I know these days people often give up when things in life do not go there way, or you get tempted to do what you know is wrong, but you do it anyway, than you find out you lost something great, (Yeah I watch too much TV, and do not read my bible enough, guilty as charged) You blame the world for whats wrong instead of dealing with your problems (thx for the tweets sis).

I am starting to see, in a lot of television shows, that relationships, marriages and friendships are being broken, because the drama is more important than showing that love is real. There are hardships like you forget to pay a light bill and there are not lights for a couple of days, you know pay week is around the corner, so instead of losing it on your loved one, simply say, you've had a busy week, things go out of control, you will handle it. And than you follow up with your spouse to say, "I took care of it, here is the receipt, and next month it's your turn. Easier said than done but when you take time out to do these small things, function in the household is a lot easier than chaos and yelling. We don't see how other people are affected by things, we just assume they are fine and go on with our lives.

I watched a couple shows this past week that made me really hate love, as in I wanted to give up saying, "forget love, you don't do anything but cause pain and suffering." I was not having the best couple of days and on and off, my mind goes down memory lane and I think about my past and it distracts me from the present. I got involved with someone whom I thought things would work out, but after a few months he started to change and get very controlling and obsessive about things. We fought more than we should have, and this was just the friendship part. We never made it farther because I started feeling stressed and less like I mattered to him. So I said goodbye. It was almost a year ago, and I haven't spoken to him since, but the impact and emotional toll it took was what was hard for me to deal with. However, like Maya Angelou says, "Still, I rise"But love is work, happiness is a choice, we choose how to react and we need to learn to pick the battles worth fighting for.
Through all that TV puts us through, we should know better than to engross ourselves in the lives of other people. Our main focus should be on God. I watch too much TV, and read my bible less. I pray everyday, all the time, and I have been getting small signs from God, like the sermon on being a servant for the Lord, do not complain about your last dollar, you will be rewarded for being humble and knowing that what you do pleases God. And the verse about thinking you are invisible and that God cannot see you when you are sinning, he sees and hears every thought.

I hope you enjoy your Sunday, God Bless, and smile.
I'd also like to say R.I.P Amy Winehouse who passed away yesterday from a drug overdose.

Loved By Those That Matter

I am loved by those that matter

Those that matter, know me the best
they see me cry, they see me smile, and they know that in life things take a while
Those that matter, wish me the best
They've seen me fall, they have picked me up, they have had my back, and don't give up
Those that matter, love me regardless
They defend my name, they never stay the same, they sacrifice money, food, and their life
Those that matter, just want me to smile
As long as I am happy, they will go the extra mile


I am loved by those that matter
