Your Dreams Are For YOU

Your dreams are for YOU, not for everyone. It baffles me that people tell everyone their dream(s), and get upset when people shoot their vision down.

I don’t know why people are quick to share their dreams with everyone. God gave your dream to YOU & YOU only. https://t.co/1A8I5GqLYp

Marriage Material & Spiritual Maturity

Marriage Material doesn't carry the same meaning to men as it does to women.

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) March 25, 2019

Men and women define marriage material differently, as they should. How a woman feels she's marriage material is different from what a man is looking for.

It takes spiritual maturity to accept the mate God sends you, even if they're not "fine" by your standards.

Look, I get it. Men want a woman that looks like Beyonce and women want a 6'6 chocolate sensation that rocks her world. Yes, God gives us our heart's desires, but he will always give us what we need, first and foremost.

Scenario

A question was posed in a FB group I'm in that went like this: God sends you a mate that meets 75-100% of your expectations, but he's not physically attractive. Do you accept the mate God sent or bypass? My answer is this: I understand looks are important, but they're not the final say. Looks are going to fade over the years, and then what? You have to have something concrete in order for the relationship to make it.

It takes spiritual maturity to accept the mate God sends you, even if they're not "fine" by your standards.

Having Others' Back & Not Your Own

One time for the brother who wrote the original tweet. It goes along with what I said plenty of times: Blacks are the first to stand up for other races' plight because "we know how it feels" While blacks are so busy caping for those who don't care about what the black race goes through, who's standing up for us? Who's looking out for us? It's long overdue for black people to start looking out for self, but we have to come together as a people first.

Preach! Black people are the first to cape for those who don’t care about us and what we go through daily. We look out for others before we look out for self. https://t.co/5pmNlF1BNN

Orlando To Be Florida's New Capital?

Orlando to be FL's new capital?

It would make economic and business sense, since most of our state senators and legislators are from Central and South FL. They have to come up to Tallahassee anyway, so by moving the capital to Orlando, Orlando native politicians will be in their backyard. There's so many benefits to moving FL's capital to Orlando. I don't think it'll be a major loss to Tallahassee if the capital were moved because let's face it, I've lived in Tallahassee long enough to know that there's no major commerce here. If you take away FAMU & FSU Homecoming, North Florida Fair and other sporadic events, Tallahassee would suffer. I support moving Florida's capital to Orlando.

A Prayer Of Peace

Thought For Today: No Difference

Once upon a time, your friends were your friends. You could trust them & vice versa. Now, friends do the same thing enemies do. In that case, I'm good on having little to no friends because I don't have the patience to figure out who's who. With me, you're for or against me; no in between.
