 Last night Christina called me and said, “Mom, thanks for raising me not to be a snobbish, uppity, self-centered, woman!  I love you for raising me like you did!”  So I asked her, where was she and what crazy women did she see?  She said she went to a networking event in NY hosted by Hillary Clinton, and the older African American women who she used to think were amazing and looked up to, were  snobs!! She was really disappointed at their attitudes and personalities!  Which brought me here.

Parents, our kids look up to us. They watch everything we do. They look at how we talk to people, how we treat people, what we say to people, what we do for people, and they mimic our actions. If we are snobs, guess  what we are raising? Right…little snobs!  When you find young women who want to look up to you, and they realize you are only a fake, can you imagine how that makes them feel?  Our young generation needs strong mentors to look up to. They need someone to help them achieve a level higher than us.  We HAVE to be humble and realize we have eyes watching our every move. When you are all of sudden, too good to give back, then you are useless and the talents that God gave you, He will take them back because you aren’t using them for the good of Him. When you are snapping and acting a fool, going off on people, being too good for everything, complaining about everything and everybody, mad for no reason…remember, the kids are watching and they mimic your actions. So today, look at how you act and think…would want your child acting like you. If the answer is no, it’s not too late to change!!!

When You Are Out Of The Game…

ImageI have to learn from my life lessons every day. So it’s things that I go through that makes it easier to write about.  Do you know how hard it is to be a Champion?  To be a champ, you have to practice, practice, practice, and more practice.  Then after you do all that practice, you have to play the game. Sometimes you win the game, and sometimes you lose.  But when you play a game, and you are losing, how do you keep face, and make a come back to win?  Almost like a football game, and in the 4th quarter your team is losing 28-0. But the Quarterback, the leader of the team keeps the Faith.  He knows that if everyone on the team does what they are supposed to do, that they can still win.  The team has to have FAITH in their leader, and when they do, they score 4 touchdowns and a field goal!  They win!!

With that being said, in life we sometimes feel we are out of the game.  Sometimes you can’t find your way out of that rut, that hole, that situation, those surroundings. But then you have to always talk to your Captain in silence. He will whisper to you what you need to do, then HE will send a representative to reiterate what HE told you.  What you will find is that, you have to put your head back in the game if you want to win.  And to win, you have to have a goal, an acheivement, and something to look forward to at the end of the game. If there’s no reason to win, why play?  Once you get that goal in order you are playing for, then put your helment on, wipe your face with your prayer cloth, and get in the game!  Game on!  Play to win, and win to play! 

Life beats us up so bad sometimes and we have to think about all that we went through to get where you are today.  We are not the only ones that go through it.  All of us go through situations that can make or break us.  We go through times when we want to throw in the towel and say, forget it!  But times like those, think about that FAITH of a mustard seed that the QB has, just when everyone thinks you’ve lost, and you’re out of the game.. BAM!!! Touchdown!!  So never think you can’t, because YOU CAN!  Not only do you get back in the game, you get in the game with your game face on, and you WIN!!

Now I gotta go play!
