Strawberry Letter: Where Do I Draw The Line?


Couple things:

1. She's been with him for 4 months. She already sees her future issues. She needs to give him an ultimatum: If he’s not making her a priority, she doesn't make him hers. If he doesn’t respect her feelings, don’t be desperate because there’s more to follow. She needs to put a period at the end and move on. Key statement: "If I want to get back with my ex, trust me I can." That says it all right there.
2. She will never be #1; Her intuition has already kicked in; RUN. It’s a lot more going on than she thinks. He's running game on her. Move on to someone who will make her a priority. Besides, how much communication does someone need with their ex? The kids are old enough to reach out to dad on their own. I don't buy that excuse "It's about the kids."

Blessed Vs. Miserable


It looks crazy for a blessed person to get into it with someone who's miserable. Why would (s)he do that? Someone who has everything going for themselves has no business in conflict with someone who doesn't have a pot to pee in, straight up. I see that as dropping down to their level, and I'm too good for that. It's not a good look doing battle with someone who's miserable for whatever reason; they're looking to drag someone down with them. When you're blessed, you're supposed to have a different outlook.
 Your walk & talk changes as well as your circle of friends. Many people don't want to admit this, but those friends they thought were happy for their blessing could be the main ones they battle. The fact is when you're blessed, you shouldn't be into it with someone who doesn't have much because all that's going to do is make you look crazy. I don't know about anyone else, but I refuse to let somebody stop my blessing(s). If that means letting them act stupid, be my guest.

People Allow Themselves To Be Used By The Enemy


 One thing that irks me with some Christians is how they like to attribute everything to the devil. "The devil's working through that person to attack a child of God, this and that." Look, we all know the devil's running amok. It's not hard to tell because all you have to do is look around at what's going on. People give Satan more credit than he deserves. I'm going to be real: Sometimes it's not always the enemy working through someone, that person ALLOWS the enemy to operate through them. Did you see how I put ALLOW in caps? I did that to make a point. The point is everyone has a choice to act stupid or act right. The problem is that some Christians make excuses for people's bad behavior. Where is the accountability? At what point do people own up to what they do?
Christians aren't doing the offender any favors by putting the cause on the enemy. The offense should go where it belongs, on the culprit. Only then can healing begin because the offender is willing to own up to their mistake. I'll take it one step further: 10% of the time, the enemy is behind the misfortune, the other 90% is of someone's doing. The devil can't make someone sell drugs on the block, rob or shoot someone; most times that person chooses to do wrong, so some Christians should stop making excuses for what people choose to do. At the same time, the devil does have dominion over the Earth. Why? Because Adam & Eve allowed themselves to be deceived by the Serpent in the Garden Of Eden. When Adam & Eve forfeited dominion over to Satan, that's when he took over from there.
So while Satan does work through people to accomplish HIS purposes, people also have the choice to NOT let Satan use him. There are unsaved people with good morals who choose not to do wrong. Why? Because they know what's right & wrong and they choose to do right.

October 17, 2013: I Want To Be Ghetto

Funniest thing in the world: People who grow up in good environments who WANT to be ghetto. So you want to trade nice homes and good schools for random automatic gunfire and police sirens? LOL at these folks. People who are truly hood will gladly trade places in a minute. Moral of the story: Appreciate the good start you had in life.

It's crazy, but some people really want to be ghetto. Why? Maybe they like hearing police sirens at 8pm nightly, or they get joy in seeing people shot down in the streets laying in blood. What about drug sales? Yeah I think that's it. Anyone who's lived/lives in the hood that's of sound mind will tell you they would move out the first chance they get. Nobody should want to raise a family in poverty & violence.

Strawberry Letter: Tired As Hell


As I read these strawberry letters about marital discord, I ask myself: Why do people sign up for marriage knowing THIS is the mess they have to deal with? In short, this man has lost love for his wife because she fell on hard times and refuses to get on her feet. Make it so bad, he's been financing her cheating since 2009, and he hasn't left yet. I know he doesn't want to leave because of the kids, but the children know what's up. They hear and see a lot going on with their parents, they just haven't said nothing. Anyway, this is my response:

What’s the point living with headaches day in and out? His life is filled with disappointment, grief, resentment, and that’s unhealthy. The vision of having someone in my atmosphere who makes me unhappy, has negative energy and no inspiration to do something meaningful with their life can’t form in my mind.
He's stayed too long and it’s time to let go of the nonsense.
His spouse (she’s not a wife) connects with guys because she needs a financial pillow. There’s nothing left when your spouse gives strangers more attention than their designated mate.
Maybe he's unsure how to get out of the marriage, but he’ll pay alimony and child support. HE'S allowed her to be unemployed for too long and his money accustomed her to a certain lifestyle.
People tend to say how “beautiful” their children are, but from what aspect? Children see, feel, and hear friction and conflict that their parents have. Your wife speaks only when she needs something and his daughters know they don’t get along.
I don’t advocate married couples staying together when people have to (1) Tolerate (2) Put Up With (3) Handle or (4) Deal With their mates. Some marriages weren’t meant to be, and it’s best he reclaims his freedom for PEACE OF MIND when it’s apparent that the marriage has ran its course.
