Company On A Wednesday Morning

The sons born to Keturah, Abraham’s concubine: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuah. The sons of Jokshan: Sheba and Dedan. – 1 Chronicles 1:32

Bonding With One Another

Forming a new relationship and becoming boyfriend and girlfriend is a blessing. Even if you are tired and want to sleep consider that your significant other just wants to be in your presence and enjoy your company. When God is blessing you with companionship take that opportunity and enjoy it. Give that person your address , answer that phone call, and enjoy the company ( even if you’re asleep) so that you can develop a relationship that can grown and blossom into marriage.

Engaged On The First Date

Ecclesiastes 11:4Living Bible

4 If 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 !

  • John 3:16

What A Night It Has Been

Isaiah 54:17New King James Version

17 No 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

5 But 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,

Dates With Jesus: Lilo and Stitch

Dates With Jesus: Lilo and Stitch

Do not be excessively righteous [like those given to self-conceit], and do not be overly wise (pretentious)—why should you bring yourself to ruin? – Ecclesiastes 7:16 Amplified Bible

Early Showings

          So I took my daughter to watch Lilo and Stitch, and for a 3 year old she did pretty good. I remember watching Lilo and Stitch on Disney channel growing up . So it is interesting to see how this movie has time traveled to a whole new generation. I went to a early showing, and I thank God for the new comfortable seats that recline, because the entire time my baby wanted to cuddle and lay on mommy.. Meanwhile mommy was sleepy but I hung in there through the entire movie so kudos to me!

What We Ate

          So effectively immediately I am on a diet , because I ate ;

  • Nachos
  • Popcorn
  • Candy (The Whole Bag)

But at least I drank water, so I balanced it out. But when me and Ruth get together, we eating everything. Ruth is blessed with genes that she can eat whatever she wants and not gain one pound, she is naturally petite. Me, however I have to watch it. I ate some Bar-B-Que steak this morning and instantly knew I had to go to the gym ASAP, because I am 20 pounds away from my goal.

Movie Review

          For the times we are in.. I thought Lilo and Stitch was a good movie for adults to watch with their kids. Kids need to experience going out and having fun. So she really liked it. I have been reading parenting books and am trying to do more fun activities with my daughter. But my baby really liked the movie. The movie quality was good, and it looked like the production was well put together and not cheap.

          So I enjoyed this date with Jesus. I took my baby for , school immunization shots and her check-up. Of course babies cry when they get a needle of immunization. So I took Ruth here so she would feel better. I liked the movie and I hope you all enjoy it as well !

Love,

What Can Young Blacks Learn From Kai Cenat and His Latest Entrepreneurial Endeavor Streamer University ?

What Can Young Blacks Learn From Kai Cenat and His Latest Entrepreneurial Endeavor Streamer University ?

Proverbs 6:6 New International Version – 6 Go to the ant, you sluggard;

    consider its ways and be wise!

So Kai Cenat is a professional businessman and streamer, who is working hard and crafting a name for himself. His work ethic has to be respected, especially to be so young to accomplish and achieve what he has. He has always credited God for his success.. Lately, he launched “Streamer University” , that caught the attention of many moguls and tycoons worldwide. But what can young blacks learn from Kai Cenat?

Learning Is A Great Mechanism

As a young black, you can’t be afraid to do what God is calling you to do. Case and point , Kai Cenat. Despite, what legal troubles he faced in New York, he was able to overcome that and move forward. I think it is important to learn from his work ethic and motivation in order to be able to graduate into the next level. In order to acquire and accomplish wealth, do not be afraid to branch out into different sectors and fields to achieve and accomplish great things. Interesting enough Kai Cenat is just getting started and he has many years of experience already in entrepreneurship. Hopefully, he remains steered into the right direction as a young black man inspiring and motivating millions around the world.
