Timing & Opportunity: Khrystle Nichole

We make a lot of decisions based on timing and opportunity. Most of us believe timing and opportunity have to be perfectly in sync. Sometimes they are, most of the time they are not. Sometimes, we have the best opportunity laid before us at seemingly the worst possible time. This is the reason why many of us pass up great opportunities. Sometimes the time is right, but the right opportunity isn't there. This is why many of us end up settling for something less than what we really want. We feel that it's time to do something or we are now ready to do something. This is where our patience and faith comes in. We must believe that we deserve to have what our hearts desire and we can have whatever we desire if we just learn to trust the process and be patient. The next time you get that great opportunity at that imperfect time, take it! Although you may not understand why now, it is meant for you now, not later. The next time you think it is time to do something or have something and what you want isn't available, don't settle for what seems to be "just okay". Wait. Just because it is not happening for you right now it does not mean it won't happen. There is no such thing as right thing,wrong time, wrong thing, right time. Whenever The Creator brings it to you, then it is for you. Ultimately, you cannot make what He did not design for you work for you. His timing is not always on your time, but He is always on time.

I hope each one of you have a blessed week.

Book Review: The Harbinger

I've read The Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn, and have attended the Thursday evening classes taught at my church. The Harbinger is a must-read for the following reason: It's far more than a prophetic warning to the United States; it's an unveiling of God's ways. Cahn carefully unfolds how God renders judgment of a nation in balance with his compassion. I've read the book twice and each time, I realize that society is blind to God's ways and in awe of how thorough God's warnings are. The Harbinger is the most precise scriptural revelation of God's American passion. The message is critical: America must heed the warning and turn back to the one who once blessed this nation. The book uncovers the mystery behind 9/11, the Iraq war, Wall Street Crash, America's future, and other events. Looking at the state of society, anyone can see America has turned it's back on God. What was once taboo, has now become acceptable. Christians can't speak out against immorality without being called intolerant, Bible thumper, etc. Prayer was taken out of schools because one woman got in her feelings. Where was the church? The church was sleep because God's people let one woman determine the course of America. As soon as prayer was taken out of all facets of American life, I knew it was a matter of time before America fell apart. 9/11 struck, followed by the Iraq war, the economy collapsed, and the gay & lesbian community is showing their behinds with their lifestyle. Back then, homosexuality was taboo. Gays had to keep their lifestyle on hush status, but as time changed, gays & lesbians have become comfortable with their lifestyle and decided to put it in the open. I guess they forgot what God did to Sodom & Gomorrah: God destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah based on the cities' depravity. An unintended consequence of removing God out of American government is people getting in their feelings about why God allowed this and that to happen.

When you remove God from American government, the devil creeps in and wreaks havoc. I'm tired of hearing people complaining about why God allowed calamity to happen. God didn't intend for society to turn out the way it did, but because America turned its back on God, God took his protective hand off this nation. In doing that, America is vulnerable. Until America turns back to God, more of this nonsense will continue happening: children suffering from disabilities, famine, war, crime & violence, etc.

Dramacidal Life

People stay in drama because they put themselves in dangerous situations. If you ride solo (like I do), you have no worries. #DramaFree.✊

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) March 19, 2015

What's life without drama? Pretty dull you say? I beg to differ. Look around you, there's drama everywhere: In the media, neighborhood, school, workplace, etc. It seems like everywhere you go, there's some drama going on. Either you're involved in drama, know someone who's into it with somebody or witnessing some drama. The crazy thing is that drama sells: Look at these reality shows; drama is a staple because no one would watch if everyone was getting along. I'm going to be real and say I wouldn't watch a reality show if there was no conflict. Why would I? Everyone's on one accord, and as crazy as it may sound, no one wants to see people get along. People want to see drama. This is MY VIEW on drama, and it's going to offend some folks, but I don't care who's slighted: Excluding myself, people who say they're not about drama are the main ones involved in it. Those who aren't about something don't have to voice it every 5 minutes, it shows in their association. They're very careful of their company because many people realize that you are the company you keep. If you hang around dramacidal folks, what do you think others will label you as? Dramacidal. You can be squeaky-clean, but if you hang around messy people, you're messy by default. People stay in drama because they put themselves in dangerous situations. If you ride solo, you have no worries. You can see drama coming from a mile away, and SWERVE. It's funny how drama free folks are labeled boring because they don't involve themselves in mess. If being drama free is boring, I'll embrace boredom with pride. I'm not about that dramacidal life, I'll let other folks have that. 

Am I Wrong For Filing A Claim Against Him?

Strawberry Letter | Steve Harvey in the Morning on WDAS

Most friends loan each other money with the understanding that they will get their money back, or some friends loan each other money and not expect it back because in the lender's eyes, that's his/her friend so they get a pass. This Strawberry Letter is proof of why if someone decides to loan their "friend" money, they should consider it a grant because odds are, (s)he won't get it back, as is the case with this letter. This woman didn't have to loan her friend money, but she did it because he was in need. Now this jerkoff shows his behind and talks junk to her like "forget you, I'm not giving you nothing" She flipped the script on this joker and decides to take him to court, and now he gets in his feelings. He should've thought about that before he decided to flex on his friend. Newsflash bro: At that time, you needed her more than she needed you. She didn't have to give you the $600, but she did it because y'all were tight. All he had to do was pay her back, and there would be no need for a claim. Or if he couldn't pay at once, he should've agreed to $150 a month for 4 months.

Because she filed a claim for her $600, this COULD damage their friendship. Money usually does that, especially if one friend owes the other. This is why unless you and someone are really close, it's best not to loan money because you may not get it back; I'm just being honest. You want to help your friends (and you should) because by default, you think highly of them and understand they'll appreciate the gesture, but sadly, some so-called friends will react just like this guy did to her. She has every right to be hurt, but she has to reconsider her friendship with him. If he pulled this, there's no telling how he could try her. To go Biblical, don't give the devil any inch in your life because he will go all the way. Stick to your guns ma'am, and get your money by any means necessary. If this damages your friendship with him, tough nuggets. He brought this on himself, so he should be mad at himself for showing his behind. Knowing how I am, I probably would've said: I've been waiting for too long, I'm out of patience. If you don't have my money, I'm gonna mask up and take it.

Random Thoughts

Today's blog message is titled Random Thoughts. Many of them will come from myself, others come from various tweeters on my timeline. Let's get right to it:

 I hate how some men think their size means that somebody supposed to be shook by them. Big guys get dropped just the same as anyone else.

 I already know a woman will be difficult if she says: What's life without a little drama? Pretty dull, I'd say.

I can't stand these sucker for love folks; the ones that'll take any and everything from someone because they're scared to be alone.

The police should be grateful that the hood gives them job security.

@TheDestinyDome: You can't be afraid to testify because just hearing your story will encourage someone else.You never know who is on the verge of giving up.

@RichardMIATL: "To avoid doing too much, sometimes you must simply do nothing."-Chill Sampras Myrie Ashby

@RichardMIATL: Half of the mess in society wouldn't exist if zero tolerance was enforced across the board.

@RichardMIATL: Don't worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have enough to worry about today. http://t.co/O6qqWXNO9O

@RichardMIATL: Funniest part this season was when the twins (Latisha and Lakisha) asked Marcus who's butt was the biggest. Marcus knew.😂😭 #ThickerThanWater

@RichardMIATL: Some folks got me messed up thinking you can spread God's Word for free. It costs 💵💵💵to deliver the gospel of Jesus Christ, so cut the crap.

@RichardMIATL: Shout out to the Tankards for a wonderful season and a better ending. Looking forward to Season 3. #ThickerThanWater

@RichardMIATL: Nene is full of crap. When she can't dominate a conversation, she runs off. Nobody feel sorry for her.

@PatriceJWill: How people treat others they don't like is how they'll eventually treat you! #RHOA

@RichardMIATL: The way Mama Joyce all up in Kandi's marriage, you'd think Todd is married to Kandi & Mama Joyce. That's why Todd has checked out. #RHOA

@RichardMIATL: You have to crawl before you walk, but after that, you need to be running your own.

Pardon the profanity, but this makes sense:

@ugglyyy: if you don't see yourself having a child with this person why the fuck are you doing an act with them that MAKES BABIES?

Choices: The Set Up

Strawberry Letter | Steve Harvey in the Morning on WDAS

Many of these Strawberry Letters seem to have the recurring theme: Woman meets her man's father and brother, and she magically ends up on her back in the basement with each of them. She's just nasty because if she's getting down with her husband's father and brother, there's no telling what other men in his family she's doing it with. If she was being tested by Shaun & Harold and the father, she failed miserably because all this was was a test of temptation; would she yield to temptation? Guess what, she did. That alone signals she can't be trusted because what if they get married, and she meets some more handsome men? Chances are, they're going to ask her to come home with them and she's going to end up on her back. Oops, my bad: She's used to being on her back. When I tell you this family is messy, this family is MESSY. Everybody sleeping with everybody, and whenever drama breaks out, the first thing that will be brought up is the (wo)man sleeping with a family member. The minute I heard that my woman sexed a male family member, marriage would go out the window: I don't want no explanation, NOTHING. Foulness of this nature can't be explained. The woman's more at fault because she chose to be a ho. She chose to violate her commitment to Shaun, and he's foolish for considering to still marry her after she pulled this. I guess I got one thing from this Strawberry Letter: It's No Fun If The Family Can't Have None. The family set her up and she fell for the okie doke.
