A Right Balance

It easy to say in life that everything is either black or white. But that statement only satisfies those who, for what ever reason, choose not to look at the depth and breadth of a thing. When you live long enough and experience life on different levels you begin to notice all the grey areas. It seems one of the hardest and most crucial lessons to learn are those that involve a "right balance". For example: loving someone unconditionally without being taken advantage of; hating the "sin" but not the sinner; being shrewd as a snake but innocent as a dove...you get the idea. Today, I am forced with loving through "tough love" and this, my friends, is not an easy pill to swallow. Rather, it is a jagged little pill. But because my love is so strong I am forced to administer "tough love" all while attempting to repair the fragile state of my loved one. Mind you, the only way to do this is to protect my heart in the process. A right balance of wisdom, discipline toward my love, self control, and forgiveness are but a few items weighing the scale...In this too I give God all of me asking that He gives me more of Him that edification is obtained in every realm.

Why give up now?

Staying focused on your vision in spite of obstacles builds character and makes for an awesome testimony! Now is not the time to give up, yet it is the time to fight harder, with skill all while keeping your soul at ease. Enter into His rest and know that He is fighting with you, not against you!

Never Settle for less...

Never settle for less when you deserve more! It's better to take a chance on achieving greatness than taking the greatest risk of all which is to do nothing at all! The moment you settle is the moment when you've chosen to lose. You've got to play the game to win!

Spa Day!

My Daughter, Amber, is playing hooky with mommy today (she wet her hair last night without me knowing & went to bed. When I saw her this morning I was shocked. All I could do was laugh, afro city...so we're having a "spa day" hair, nails, facials, movies & music... my other children were a little jealous. (I'll make it up to them this weekend) Are there any recommendations for great spa facilities in Philadelphia? Please share your experience with us.

Wifey Material...

I just over heard a conversation between two young ladies ranging between the ages of 22 & 29. One spoke on the importance of sexual intimacy prior to marriage. In today's society it seems as if women prefer for the man to milk the cow before buying it...(if you know what I mean) Does pre marital sex hinder or enhance the chances of tying the knot. Define the qualities that a man looks for in a woman whom he deems "wifey material".

Biggest fan...

I say "Be your biggest fan" others will jump on the bandwagon soon enough! You've got to know & believe in your inner greatness or noone else will.
