Engaged On The First Date

Ecclesiastes 11:4Living Bible

⁴If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done.^[a]

Micro-Dating

What is Micro-Dating ? Well in a world of economic turmoil that is happening world-wide , but particularly in the USA – people rarely have time to sit down and go on a date because of money , time , and finances. Many people find themselves having to juggle and balance hold 2-4 jobs at a time – which leaves a small amount of time to recall fully “date”. But you can “micro-date”. But how ? Well a quick date , immediately after work such as ;

Grabbing a cup of coffee from Starbucks immediately in the morning after your work shift – This gives you 1 hours to actually get to know your interest and ask a few questions about who they are and what do they like to do.. This can range from $2 – $30 micro date , which is quick , easy , and affordable !

Getting a quick bite to eat at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts – This makes you like urban and shows your love interest that you’re not super religious and that you are someone that they can talk to and ultimately get to know in the long run . This micro – date can range from $5 – $50, and you can sit there and enjoy a cup of coffee and get to know each other ..

Going on a walk and using it as a time to exercise together ! A walk is absolutely free of charge , and it can be a good idea for a picnic to sit down and talk and open up to each other . Why don’t you grab a blanket , some fruit , or some food that your significant other likes and take time to enjoy each other presence !

Taking time to enjoy micro dating , can lead to bigger dating and actually going a wonderful more expensive dates that can become actually engagement proposal . Dates like :

Dinner on a yacht ( boat )!
A boat tour of the city
A fun date like the arcade

There are so many great ideas that you could think of. Also, bring boyfriend/ girlfriend to church and introduce them to the faith of Christ !

The moral of the story is , the word of God says that faith without works is dead. If you want a spouse , then you need to do your part and actually date someone and get to know them so that you can become husband and wife !

What A Night It Has Been

Isaiah 54:17New King James Version

¹⁷No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.

Being a parent comes with unexpected hospital visits. On this episode of the ghetto parenting life chronicles, my ( daughter Ruth) had to be admitted. I believe God for supernatural healing. ( Ruth ) was very sick and throwing up . I say this because as a parent don’t automatically assume that throwing up is normal because it could be a sign that the child needs to go to the doctor.

Because we will be in the hospital for one week. Moral of the story don’t automatically assume that your child is being “extra”, “dramatic”, or “doing something for attention”. Something could really be wrong so get it checked out !

Trusting God While Raising A Child Born Premature

Isaiah 53:5New International Version

⁵But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

In 2021 I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Ruth, who was born premature. In the Black culture I don’t think premature birthing is discussed and how time consuming and how much it costs financially. Don’t think that once they get older the sickness is over because it’s not. Actually , as they get older more is discovered and because the medical field is evolving. When ( Ruth) was a baby , it was recommended that (she) have surgery.. However I didn’t feel the peace of God on that and that was when we were living in a house in Oxon Hill , Maryland. Years later as a single mother I am still dealing with the consequences financially of having a (baby that was born sick ) by myself.

In this season I am learning contentment and I am learning to thank God in all circumstances, in all situations, and all events. So I bless the name of the Lord in the midst of this. I thank God that he has provided insurance. I thank God he has provided money. I thank God he has provided more than enough for me to take care of my daughter.

i say this so that you know don’t think you have a premature baby it’s over when they turn one because it’s not.

You’re just getting started. There are unplanned emergency rooms visits, surgeries , doctor’s notes , excused absence from school due to medical reasons , pediatricians, and so much more involved with having baby born premature. My original due date was October 19, 2021 – she was born September 23, 2021.

No , the father ( Ra’keem ) has not been helpful. I have had to deal and handle this all financially myself but God has helped me. Moral of the story when you have a premature baby brace yourself for the reality of :

Stomach surgery
Autism diagnosis
Asthma
Speech Therapy

And so much more. But know that even if you are doing it as a single parent the Lord will send people to help you and he will indeed provide.

Sincerely,

Happy April 2025 Real Life Real Jesus !

Colossians 1:5

New International Version

5 the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel.

God Is Replenishing You

Sometimes when you go through betrayals you can feel like it is the end, but it is not. Remember that before they crucified Jesus they cried out “Hosanna”. They honored him and laid palms in his path, but their heart was not with them. So do not believe that you are stuck in a “spiritual rut”, “spiritual drought”, or that you are experiencing “spiritual dryness” because that is not true. Think of it this way. You know that you are thirsty because you are a little parched and need some water to quench your thirst. So you are maybe a little parched and need God to quench the thirst in your life.

Walking through hard seasons is not fun, and it can lead to a lot of silent tears and crying seasons at nights. One of the biggest misconceptions is that “sin is the reason that happened in your life” and this is not necessarily true. Jesus Christ did not commit sin when he was crucified. Some things that you go through is simply because someone was jealous of you or envied you. The word of God says in Matthew 27:18 Berean Literal Bible, “For he knew that they had delivered Him up through envy”. So there are some things that you go through that is not because you did anything wrong, but because someone was jealous of you.

The Power of Reading The Holy Bible

In this season of my life, I have been intentional of waking up at 5:00 a.m. – 6:00 a.m. and reading the Holy Bible. I have been intentional of studying the Holy Bible for my own spiritual growth and building my own relationship with Jesus Christ. I know in my own personal life, I need God to do something miraculous and to lift me up from the season that I am going through. So I know, I am not the only one experiencing this tough time but I know that God is preparing me for something major in the future.

I want to repeat that last sentence, “I know that God is preparing me for something in the future”. Okay, now I want that sentence to apply to you, “I know that God is preparing you for something in the future”. I believe that the people who follow me, God wants them to lead wherever they are located. That means something to God. What you are going through right now is preparing you for something bigger and better in the future. Even when Joseph was in prison, God was still preparing him for something in the future. The word of God says not harden your heart. I know anger, resentment, and maybe even bitterness may be affecting your heart condition but know that God is working things for your good. Know that the living water is conquering and washing away everything in your life that is not of his will (John 15, Ephesians 4:1, John 4:14).

God Meeting You Where You Are At

I could imagine how the woman at the well felt. She was a prophetess but she had relationship issues with the men she was dating. None of them matched the call on her life, and so she was constantly faced with divorce because the magnitude of her future destiny was bigger than the men she was married to. I know I feel that woman of the well in my life, constantly I have dated men who just did not understand and who did not get it and they dragged me down… But now I am starting to make better decisions on the type of man I should be attracted to. But The gist of what I am trying to say is that God went to meet her where she was at.

So many times people think that you have to be polished and perfect for God to step in and help you and that is not true at all. God went right to that water source known as the well and met that woman, because he wanted to meet her where she was at. God’s promises and prophecies are meeting you where you are at.

Be Renewed In Your Faith

When I was a little girl they made sure to tell me that I was never going to be successful and never amount to anything, for 18 years that was the repeated narrative that I heard over and over again and no it was not true. But they said that because of how I looked, and so when I got married to my soon to be ex-husband Ra’keem he told me that one of the reasons that he caused me to be ejected from my home was because of my “beauty”. So at 27 years old, I was faced with the fact that all these people had tried to ruin my life because I was pretty.. Yeah.

I am not saying that to brag, because being ejected from my apartment in 2023 is nothing to be proud of. But I am saying that times that we are living in that is what people do, they betray you because of beauty, shoes, money, cars, and clothes. For men , one of your friends might betray you because you just got a new haircut. It sounds odd that something so small could lead to something so detrimental but it’s true.

So because of that my opinion of faith is being fine tuned as God is teaching me something new. I believe in “realistic faith”. That means that I have to pray for what I technically do not qualify for, but I believe that God can do it for me and make me supernaturally qualified for it (Hebrews 12, John 3:16, Colossians 3:2, Philippians 2)). I can tell you that people have allowed a spirit of envy to consume them because of social media. People do CRAZY things that are rooted in envy because of social media. So you have to be very careful on how you move in these last days.

Keep Interceding

I live in Chicago, Illinois so daily I ask God to protect me. You have to ask God to protect you from the envious plots and plans that come from those who are jealous of you. Do not be naïve to the enemy and his devices (1 Thessalonians 5:8, 1 Peter 5:7). When the Pharisees were jealous of Jesus Christ they had him whipped, spat on, mocked, pierced, and crucified. Thank the Lord, that Jesus Christ was risen and then ascended into heaven. But his crucifixion is a warning to the body of Christ that envy does lead to a calvary and crucifying experience.

Create A Steady Routine To Hear God

I was dealing with something and I said God, “I need to hear your voice”. Sometimes the enemy sends so many people opinions because satan is trying to drown out the voice of God in your life, do not let that happen. The word of God says that no weapon formed against you shall prosper in Isaiah 54:17. When jealous people say that you can’t accomplish something, God says that you can indeed accomplish it (2 Timothy 3:16-17, Hebrews 4:12). You have to create a steady routine that brings you closer to God and builds a consistent pattern to draw you closer and closer to the things of God.

Conclusion

There are so many resources that can help you draw closer to God, and I pray that God leads you to one that is indeed Biblically sound and of good doctrine. Because every prayer line is not of God and every podcast is not of God. But I hope that God does lead you to a podcast or someone who knows how to pray things that are in tune with the frequencies of heaven. I pray that God instills a good structure and stability in your life , and that your atmosphere would be molded and shaped into something positive and great.
