The problem with some men...they know what to do to get a woman, but they don't know what to do to keep that woman.
So, I ask you intelligent sistas...What's up with some of these men? Before you proceed...I'm rambling a bit; however, i think you will be able to follow. Your two cents are welcome!
They constantly leave me puzzled, how about you? They are great creatures in the beginning. Seemingly, they are kind-hearted, respectful, caring, warm, sensitive, considerate, attentive, have a great sense of humor, and just plain ole nice (in the beginning that is). Would you agree or disagree? Seems to me that most engage in a number of relationships with women (some, at the same time - HA!). You would think they had this relationship and respect thing down to a science. Um...I guess not, because I don't know a brotha yet with the title M.D. following his name. Have you dated such a man? I didn't think so!
Where are these men that were raised by their mommas, you know the kind that were raised to love, respect and treat a woman right? I can't begin to believe that these same influential mommas told them "but BABY only LOVE and TREAT them right until you get what you want from them; then break their hearts". What do you think?
They...note when I use the term "they", of course, I don't mean all men. I'm simply getting tired of typing most men (its a tad bit redundant, if you ask me). Okay, moving right along...what was I saying...Oh yeah, so...as I was saying...they don't act right after a few months. It's like a person at a new job...once they get off probation...they unbutton a few buttons, loosen up the tie, start taking their shoes off under their desk. You can act like you don't' know what I'm talking about, but you know its true. You probably got your shoes off, right now. LOL
No, seriously, aren't you tired of the ones (men) that play with your emotions, feelings and heart. Haven't we prayed to GOD (heck some of us FAST on a regular basis about this "mate" thing/desire) enough about the type of "good man" we would like. BUT, for some reason we keep meeting the knuckle-heads (KHs). Don't get me wrong, you may not currently be dealing with a KHs, but, let's be truthful...you've had one, two, three, four, five (raise you had if your sure), six that were KHs. They treated you nice, or should I say they were on their best behavior and then after 3 months ...SOUND THE ALARM!!!! They flipped the script on you. Um...And to think that a few of us (SISTAS) have a 3-month sex (Joan from girlfriends...give him some) rule. Little do we know...they have a 3-month rule too...get what I want from her and I'm out! Hold that thought!!!!
OK, back track...IF not you, I have been praying about this "mate". No, I don't pray often but some times I try to remind GOD (as if he needs a constant reminder "Dear GOD, you remember what I prayed to you about 2 months ago, well, it's Summer time, and I prayed that he would show up some time in the Spring, I don't mine waiting, but do you think He'll show up by FALL?" Child...you laugh all you want, but I know good and very well that you've done that a few times. If not, just laugh at the thought. THERE AREN'T ANY RULES...you don't play with people feelings.
Personally, I tell myself all the time "DON"T SETTLE", but somewhere way down low on the opposite side of the truth, righteous and faith...I'm telling myself...SELF, SHUT UP, WE WANT HIM NOW, so no he may not be all of what you been praying for, but GIRLFRIEND he is a man...and a man is what you need, so don't you worry your little self about his hang-ups, because it beats you being alone. But reality kicks in and I know that settling will only harm me in the long run.
But, could it be true...that some of us sub-consciously are going against what we truly know to be the truth? Goodness...I think we (a few of us) need to have a slumber party at a therapist's office because we all can't fit on one little sofa. Honestly, a few of us really need to realize that GOD has something mighty in store for us. The man that is longing to meet you & me (we aren't the only ones waiting)...He will greet us like no other man has ever done before. Confidence will be his cologne of choice and his speech will be impeccable. He'll walk with the grace of a stallion and His eyes will be locked with thankfulness. And, he'll understand...that GOD gave you to him as a gift and the same thing it took to meet you, talk to you, laugh with you, love you and PRAY with you, will be the same things that He will do to keep you, protect you, love you more, cherish you and provide for you. Then, and only then...will you notice the GS stamped on his back; which stands for "GOD's son".
From me to you!
Just a little hope in your day.

You Are Healed Because of the Blood of Jesus
You Are Healed Because of the Blood of Jesus
By Bishop Keith A. Butler
March 27
1 Peter 2:24 - Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (KJV)
Witnessing in the earth is the blood of Jesus. It is a witness to your healing. Your body may be wracked with pain, but the blood speaks out, YOU ARE HEALED. Now receive your healing today.
Because we are in Christ, we can now live in right standing with God. He is working with us. His power goes in front of us. And the Bible said we are healed. If you were healed then you are healed. And if you are healed then you is healed. I know that is not proper English, but it gets the point across.
You are presently healed. So today, I want you to make this confession of faith: "I am healed from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, because of the blood. And therefore I say my brain is healed and works perfectly. I am not having Alzheimer's when I get old. My brain will be sharp as it is now in the name of Jesus. I will praise God and be able to do everything I can do now when I am 105.
"My eyes, nose, and mouth are healed. My teeth, tongue and gums are healed in the name of Jesus. My neck is healed. My heart, liver and lungs are healed. My colon, my blood and my skin are healed. My bones and my feet are healed. The Bible said I am healed because of the blood. Therefore, I am healed and I am going to act like it.
"I am going to walk like it, talk like it, and go to bed and get up and praise God. This is another day that I am healed before God Almighty. And when sickness and disease try to come on my body that sickness cannot stand, because the blood was shed. Sickness and disease, get off me in the name of Jesus!"
That is living like you are in righteousness. That is living like the blood works. When a headache comes on, the first thing you do is put the gospel in your mouth and speak it, before reaching for a pain reliever. Healing was given to you as a right because of the blood.
Because of the blood, sickness and disease stops before it gets to you. Your family might have had five generations of cancer but it stops with you. They were not under the blood, but you are. They did not know how to stand, but you do. So take the Word of God and stand. As you stand, you will enter into a life of divine health in Christ Jesus.

First TV Interview: The Pregnant Man
Yesterday, I watched Oprah in total disbelief. This is a must read. The one major question I have...what about this child after she is born? If ever anyone ever wanted to know how generational curses are started...this is a perfect example. This child will be faced with so many problems, issues, and most of all ridicule. Yes, that is my opinion. Tell me what you think?

First TV Interview: The Pregnant Man
Thomas is 34, happily married and…pregnant. Our cameras capture it all—the ultrasound, inside the nursery and more. How is this possible?
It's the story that has the media buzzing and people talking. Thomas and his wife Nancy are a happily married couple who run a small business, live in a normal neighborhood and are expecting their first child.So why are they making headlines around the world? The husband, Thomas, is the one who's pregnant.
Thomas was born female and lived for 24 years as a woman named Tracy.Growing up in Hawaii, Tracy and her two brothers experienced loss at an early age. When she was just 12 years old, her mother committed suicide. "My father had to learn to be a father because he wasn't around a whole lot," Thomas says. "He worked a lot. He let my mother raise us, and she was an excellent mother."Though Thomas says he doesn't feel he was born in the wrong body, he does remember being a tomboy. "I liked to play with LEGOs and go fishing," he says.A few years later, Tracy hit puberty and began to realize something was different. "I started to grow breasts, and it was kind of a shock to me because I didn't have my mother around," Thomas says. "I was just used to catching footballs and balls, and so it hurt. I just kind of thought, 'What's my body going through? Is it betraying me?'"
As Tracy got older, her father began encouraging her to model. Tracy even entered a pageant and was named a Miss Hawaii Teen USA finalist.As a teenager, she began dating men. "I felt like I was pushed into it. I felt like that's what I had to do in society," Thomas says. "It was just a convenience, I guess."At age 17, Tracy entered into a relationship with her martial arts instructor. "I was with him for three years, and he trained me to be a good martial artist," Thomas says. "He complimented me, saying that I fought like a man. That was the best compliment he could give."During her college years, Tracy began to discover her true gender identity. "That's when I found myself," Thomas says. "It was a process of self-discovery for me, and I ended up having my first girlfriend. We were together for three and a half years."
As she entered her 20s, the gender that Tracy gravitated towards was male. "When I woke up in the morning, I felt like a man," Thomas says. "It was difficult for society to respect me the way I felt on the inside if my outside didn't match it."Eventually, Tracy stopped wearing women's clothing and began dressing in men's clothes. "I'm a masculine person, and I preferred wearing clothes that made me feel comfortable," Thomas says. "It wasn't something that I analyzed. I woke up in the morning and decided, 'This is what I want to wear today.' Over time, people started calling me 'sir,' and that was an interesting concept to me."After researching what it meant to be transgender, Tracy broached the subject with her first girlfriend. "She wasn't very supportive of the idea," Thomas says. "I was discussing having a surgical procedure of removing my breasts, and she just said, 'Why can't you just be a lesbian?'"When that relationship ended, Tracy took the first step toward becoming a transgender male. Tracy sought the help of a physician and began taking testosterone.Soon after, Tracy and Nancy started dating.
Since the beginning of their relationship, Thomas says Nancy supported his gender transition. "She was fantastic about it," he says.Over the years, testosterone injections helped Thomas look and sound more masculine. His voice dropped a few octaves, and he began growing facial hair. These hormone treatments also altered his sexual organs. Thomas says his clitoris grew to the size of a small penis. "It looks like a penis," he says. "I can have intercourse with my wife."In 2002, Thomas opted to have his breasts surgically removed and legally became a man, but he made the conscious decision to keep his female reproductive organs. "I wanted to have a child one day," he says. "I didn't know how. It was just a dream."Thomas says the desire to have children doesn't make him feel like less of a man. "I have a very stable male gender identity. I see pregnancy as a process, and it doesn't define who I am. It's not a male or female desire to want to have a child…it's a human desire," he says. "I'm a person, and I have the right to have my own biological child."
Once Thomas was legally considered a man in the state of Oregon, he and Nancy said "I do." After a few years of marriage, they decided to start a family.Nancy, the mother of two grown daughters from a previous marriage, says the effects of endometriosis left her unable to have more children. "[Doctors] removed my womb," she says. After investigating their options, the couple decided to use anonymous donor sperm.First, they had to find a physician who would agree to treat Thomas. "We've had a really hard time finding doctors to treat us and to help us get pregnant," he says. "We got rejected by our first doctor because he said that his staff felt uncomfortable working with someone like me."The couple saw numerous doctors before they found one who agreed to perform the artificial insemination. During the summer of 2007, Thomas discovered he was pregnant for the first time. Sadly, the fertilized eggs grew outside the uterus in his fallopian tube—known as an ectopic pregnancy—and he had to have emergency surgery to remove the embryos. "That was a pretty devastating time," Thomas says.
After their devastating loss, Nancy says they decided to do the artificial insemination themselves the second time around. "So the second pregnancy I'm like, 'Why are we driving three and a half hours when we can just do it at home?'" Nancy says.Thomas and Nancy say the procedure is very delicate, and after one failed pregnancy, the stakes were high. "I was shaking," Nancy says. "It wasn't as thrilling as it should have been."Their determination paid off. In October 2007, Thomas became pregnant for the second time.
Like most couples expecting a child, Thomas and Nancy visit their physician, Dr. Kimberly James, for regular check-ups and ultrasounds. A previous ultrasound revealed that Thomas and Nancy are expecting a baby girl. At 24 weeks and five days along, Thomas learns that his little girl is perfectly healthy. "This is a miracle," Thomas says. "We see her as our little miracle." Watch Thomas and Nancy's visit to the doctor's office. Although other doctors have turned Thomas and Nancy away, Dr. James made a decision to stick with the family. "In reality, our patients choose us," she says. "Once you meet Thomas and Nancy, you can see that they are very devoted and that they deserve quality medical care just like everybody else."Dr. James says she was never worried about her reputation. "I hope I'm perceived as someone providing quality care for a patient who's pregnant," she says. "I was never personally worried about my reputation," she says. "I hope I'm perceived as someone providing quality care for a patient who's pregnant."
Although Thomas's pregnancy challenges the norm, Dr. James says there is no cause for alarm. "People say, 'Is this baby going to be abnormal or anything like that?' This baby's totally healthy," she says. "I consider it an average pregnancy."Dr. James also says Thomas's hormone levels are normal. "Thomas has obviously done a lot of research on this as well and is very intelligent about it," she says. "He's been off testosterone for two years before even trying to conceive."As Thomas's belly continues to grow, his pregnancy becomes harder to hide from friends and neighbors. "Getting dressed is becoming more and more challenging," he says. "My body's changing so rapidly, I just can't keep up with it."For now, Thomas says he has a pair of "fat jeans" he can get by with. "Unfortunately, they don't make man-ternity clothes, so I'm kind of stuck. I have no idea what I'm going to wear in the future when I get bigger."
Nancy has two daughters from a previous marriage, Amber and Jen. Amber says she thinks Thomas and Nancy have a great marriage. "They're an incredible couple," she says. "They're very much in love and they've been role models for my husband and I. We definitely look up to their marriage and model our lives after theirs."When Jen heard Thomas was pregnant, she says she was very excited. "There probably was a little bit of jealousy going on thinking that this little girl's going to have such a great life with Thomas and my mom," she says. Although she's excited to have another sister, Amber is also nervous about how people will react to Thomas's pregnancy. "It's a little scary," she says. "We're scared for them because I don't know that the world is all that prepared, but we're just regular, boring people and a regular family."
Until now, Thomas and Nancy say people in their community have assumed that Nancy's the one who's pregnant. "People probably just think I'm getting fat," he says. "First it was the holidays and the excuse was, 'Oh, Nancy bought me an ice cream machine, and she's testing it out.'"Thomas and Nancy revealed their secret to neighbors George and Victoria just before coming to Chicago. Victoria says she was surprised—but not shocked. "Thomas told us that it was he that was pregnant," she says. "So it was more surprise that, 'Well, it's not Nancy? It's Thomas? Wait a minute. I have to get my head around this.'"George says he had no idea Thomas was pregnant. "I never knew or had any kind of inkling or suspicion that he was a woman in the past," he says. "I thought he was a very sensitive man and gentle, but I thought he was a man." When George was given the big news, he says he had to let it sink in. "Obviously, it's a pretty unusual situation, and it was unusual for me when I found out," he says. "It was kind of sexually dyslexic for me to put it together."Although George and Victoria are just two people in the community, they believe the other neighbors will learn to accept Thomas and Nancy's unconventional family. "We have a pretty close-knit community," George says. "The neighbors that we know and that we communicate with seem to be understanding."
Nancy says it was important for them to share their story before it was sensationalized by the media. "We thought that it was best that we tell our story instead of other people telling the story for us," Nancy says.In this day and age, Thomas says different is normal. "Love makes a family," he says. "And that's all that matters."

Well, the time has come and I hope, with enough research, I can bring you the latest on Religion (BTW...I LOVE THE LORD), World News/Current Events, Fashion/Style, Clothes, shoes, and handbag sales (a sista loves to shop), Movie Releases, Album debuts, Gossip (I need deliverance), Words of wisdom (shared by many), Wedding tips (I'm a wedding coordinator...call me...wink, wink) and a lot more. So, welcome and take your time to read all my blogs and be sure to keep it real, or as I like to say...maintain your integrity while being honest...as you choose to respond.
