1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. What is the one thing that can turn family against family and friends against friends "MONEY", yes that's right money. If one person in the family has the funds to help others in the family out, depending on who it is that person would not lend a hand, which means all hell between the two will brake loose. Not only that look at what you have to do to make it through life. You have to rob Peter to pay Paul, work two or more jobs(JOB MEAN JUST OVER BROKE) just to make it through and with all that it still want be enough to over come your problems. I know how it feels to not know whether or not if I am going to be able to pay the light bill or heat bill, you sit an look at all the things you have to pay or even do and when you add that to what you will be bringing home it is never enough. I feel like every month I am asking myself why do I even work if all I do is give out money to all these places rent, lights, heat, laundry, house hold supplies and don't forget gas for your car and oh don't forget the things your children need just to live in this world of craziness. It is so stressful not knowing if your going to able to pay all of your bills and relax every month. As this world go further and further into depression, crime and poverty people are going to start robbing and killing, because at the end of everything it's all over not having the enough money to take care of their families or children. It's sad to say that money is the root of all evil, because if a person would kill, steal or destroy another person property for money that is straight up evil right. We need to get ready and be ready for the end times because it's coming and know that people are going to be willing to do what ever they have to do to make ends meet. If you believe and have faith that God will keep you in the hard times then you will be fine. Look at some of these celebrity they would sell they're souls to the devil for fame and fortune which means at the end of the day it's all for the money. I was always told all money is not good money. So be careful of the thing you do for what you need, because your not the only one going through the struggle and as always stay Blessed # Living & Loving Life

Psalms 74:20 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. covenant: means an agreement
habitations: mean the state or process of living in a particular place cruelty: mean callous indifference to or pleasure in causing pain and suffering Now that we have the meaning just in case we can get on with this. Self respect is something that a lot of women lack in this world today and they don't care about what people say or how they treat them, because they are getting the attention they want or need, which is very very sad SORRY ladies. If we don't respect ourselves or love ourselves enough to watch how we carry ourselves then how can we expect someone to give you or even show you any kind of respect. That has to come from with in and we as young and older ladies have to love ourselves in order for people to love us the way we need to be loved. Not only that if we have young ladies at home, we don't want our girls growing up and lower their self for anything or for one!!! if we don't teach them now how respect themselves or love them selves for who they are, boy I tell you someone is going to walk all over them like it is nothing. Look at all these singers and rappers out here, they feel the less they have on is what is going to drive there sells on their music and at some point yes this could be very true, buy why disrespect ourselves to make a buck, women dancing half naked and sharing their special parts to the world. People might say hey look at her and say DAMN she fine or DAMN she looks bad or she got ass, but all at the same time saying some real nasty things about them behind their backs. Ladies don't no man want to bring no woman home to his family that don't respect her self and dress and look like a hot mess, I know I would not want him to bring me home to his family or my sons bring someone home like that. So please ladies let's love ourselves and carry ourselves in the way of a role model and train our young girls to love themselves no matter what the next person might she, cause at the end of the day if you respect and love yourself the next person will show you and give you the respect you need. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and can't no one take that away. God created us all to be different and so we need to love who we are as a person and stop trying to be something that we are not. Respect and Love is the one thing that is lacked in this world so bad, now ladies let work hard to lead and teach our young ones our girls and boys that respect is what you get when you give it to yourself as well as others, so that they made carry it with them for the rest of their lives, and as always stay Blessed. # Living & Loving Life First of all I want to give thanks to my father for giving me this Blog to touch someone else and Blessing me with a husband who support me in everything I do and thank you to my brother-n-law for the advice on how to start my blog off so here it goes enjoy,
Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. This verse right here, a lot of us can learn from it as well as gain from it. The reason why is because we all have people in our life that we don't to much care for or don't even like and that we look at them as if they are our enemies, but if we have hate in our hearts how could we want GOD to love us the same. For example with all of the hate crime going on all over the world, black men and women is being killed for no reason and because one person wants to fight back with evil, now everyone wants to fight back with evil, you know two wrongs don't make a right. As we go through life their are going to be some major set backs and people want like you because of your skin, your hair, your weight or just plain stupid reasons, so we much pray for them instead and watch the thing we say and do. To be Blessed you have to Bless the next person. So look deep down in your heart and ask yourself, How can I make a change in this world for the better? it is very easy give to the ones that curse you and help them when they are down or in need, look over the ones who use you and pray for them. Look at me for example I work in a town where some people don't like me because of my skin color, but you know what I do I kill them with kindness and smile anyways, yes it get's to me sometimes but someone always have to be the bigger person. So the next time you feel like your enemy or the person using you is never going to back down from what they say or do to you, just remember Matthew 5:44 and kill them with kindness and always smile. Father God I come before you right now and ask that you send a present of peace in this world Father God, guide us and teach how to love our enemies and Bless the ones that use us, keep us safe from all negative people and shield us from the things of this world, let us lead and not follow in Jesus name we pray Amen Amen and as always stay Blessed # Living & Loving Life Their are times when we feel like we are all by ourselves in situations that is beyond our control, not knowing that they're are others out there going through the same thing but maybe in a different way. For example before I came to the place I am now, me and my family was going through some living arrangements and we had to stay from place to place. Can you imagine do that with four children, yourself, your husband and a brother that is a boat load of people to travel around with. Don't get me wrong because they're was family and friends who helped us out along the way, but to really know the feeling of our situation you would have to had walk in them shoes. Their was a lot of nights I sat and ask why? why me? why my family? what did we do to go through some much trouble and pain, I felt as if people was laughing and saying nasty thing behind our backs, I didn't know which way was up or down because I felt like we lost everything. Then you sit back and ask yourself if this was all a dream, but realize that this is the real world and nothing is what it seem right. How many people can say that they have been in though shoes before? not many. I'm here to tell you no matter what you go through, what your fighting for, what people may think or say about you, that you are a child of the most high and whether or not you feel that this road of never ending happiness and feeling alone will be over GOD has you. Never self doubt yourself or beat yourself up over things that could always change for the better. You will always have that one person that you could talk to whether you know that or not, just get on your knees and pray but most of all never astray away from your faith in what can happen next. I lost my way and faith a little until I wake up one day and said this to shall past and I'm not going to let this one set back keep me down, no matter what I would go through I would never let no one see me down, depressed, sad, stress or unhappy, I always kept a smile on my face and I put this wall up so no could ever see or know about things that was going on in my life. As women we tend to hold thing in the inside because we want people to know that we are strong and that we can stand against anything, but ladies sometimes we have to "LET IT GO" and let someone in so that we want tear ourselves down trying to be the bigger or stronger person. Just remember to love yourselves no matter what and keep smiling the sun will shine again and as always stay Blessed until next time # Living & Loving Life
I want to Thank everyone in advice for your support and caring hearts. I hope that this can be something that can travel far in my quest to touch someone life. Just like the quote up top states "when you have nothing and the attitude you have when you do have something" just remember to stay focus on the bigger picture and the right goals in life, you can be a fighter but you have to remember to fight back smart and not to fight back with negative words or energy. It took me awhile to figure that out, but boy I tell you when you learn to control the way you speak and the way you handle things, you will see a big change within yourself. Now with the help of my husband of course I was able to stop talking and start watching and doing things different, my husband is a big support of mines in everything I do and some days if he was not here I don't know how I would of made it. This world is full of some much negative people, hateful people and everything else above. so for me to have someone who can hold me back from myself is a lovely thing I tell you. I refuse to be broken by others and take a stand for myself as well as others. So remember even without nothing, being broken, talked about, being without, being homeless, feeling unloved and feeling like the world is against you just stand no matter what. for GOD have his hands over us even when were not right. Until next time stay Blessed # Living & Loving Life
So like I stated before that I want to touch on a little of everything if I could. So I know I posted already to day, but I"m so excited to be doing this and hopefully I stick with it.
Okay this has been heavy on my heart since day one and I just want to know what your take on it is, yes I will dig deep in some of my post and just give a little at times. So here is the problem, I live in a town that is 95% white, 3% black and the other 2% is other backgrounds (nice way to put it right) and my children is not bad or they don't go around messing with any one, they just want to play without any problems right, just like any other child would. So while they are playing outside some of the kids in the court where I live will yell "hey black kids, hey black kids" or "shut you black kids" or "you can't play at the park black kids" now as an adult I can take what is said to me and KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON, but my children they can't, do you how this affect them in more ways then one. The bad part is that these kids are all under let say 11 years old and go down to the age 5, so being that age I can't understand how they would even know anything about skin color, the different between races and anything of that nature, also the funny thing about this that the parents is outside and hear their children talking like this, but instead of stopping them they allow their children to carry on with it. I have made reports of racial issue to my property management and do you think they have done anything "NO". So I have to teach them to just walk away and big the bigger person, I don't want my children to grow up with a complex about themselves, every child, every adult is Beautiful in their own way and as adults we need to teach our children right from wrong, but do it with love and care. So what is your take on this? how would you handle the issue? leave me a comment and as always stay Blessed # Living & Loving Life |
AuthorHey everyone my Name is LaQuita, but Quita for short. Lets see I'm a mother of 4 two boys and two girls, married for 5 years to my best friend and I just love life and I have this passion for writing. I would like to start a blog, which I'm new at, so here goes wish me luck. I want to write about life issues and down falls that every one has. But when life gets to hard or we find ourselves with our backs against the wall, we start to shut down and let it get the best of us, but if we put GOD first and know he is the truth and the light, with that we can do anything we put our minds to. I will like to reach out to mother's , who has been through things that we hold in the inside, because we feel like we can take on the world, know that their is always someone to talk too and to never let the things of this world get us down, because you are never alone in anything, stay strong and hold on, remember prayer change things for the better. But again I'm ready to start this journey and that is just a little of me for all of you. Stay Blessed and Stress Free #living & loving life Archives
