My bricks came just in time for 2008

I am happy to say that I am seeing the good in a bad situation. I had to realize that some people in my life were only there because I was convenient for them! And even though they knew my intentions and my feelings, instead of keeping it real, they felt like they should do me a favor and keep me dragging along! But last night, I got my brick wall.
After God was telling me no, I still wanted things my way! I was convinced that the same things that happen to me in the past would not happen this time because these people care about me and had my best interest at heart! Lesson #8645859, NO ONE has your best interest at heart but God! And thats where I made my mistake! Thinking I was different! Even telling my self, well maybe they are right...WRONG! In 2008, friends are friends, they are no more than that and no less. I am going to treat friends only the way they treat me! 2008 is going to be such a great year and aint nothing going to hold me back! God already told me what great things he has for me and if I listen and follow him, they will all fall into place!

My pastor said that Mary looked at her situation at first with humanistic eyes thinking that the birth of Jesus would be a curse to her since she wasn't married to Joseph yet. But when you look at the big picture, she was part of something so great!! God chose her and I know he chose me...and I know God wont give me trash so I should stop settling for it!

This blog post is my testimony, I made mistakes this year, but in about 24 hours, I am thankful to say I will be given another chance even though I don't deserve it! I don't need to become this ideal "great woman" because I already am one! Not perfect, by all means no, but I know I am pretty, wise, fun, and a child of the MOST HIGH God, what more could anyone else ask for!??!

Peace

Let's get naked...

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

Well let's not get naked literally...but I want people to stop trying to be like everyone else. Why is it so hard for us to be ourselves? Say what YOU feel, pursue what YOU want? I notice that in so many people. I think some people tell themselves that's who they want to be and become that instead of doing what come naturally to them. God made us all individually different. No one man is like another, and no one man will ever be like another...so why do we want to be each other? Why we can't learn to love and be ourselves? Has society programmed us to believe that we should be a certain way and that's what we conform to? Or are we too stupid to see that we look stupid trying to absorb everyone else's personalities but our own?

I make it a personal goal to do what makes Cheri A'mour happy...not what I THINK would make everyone else around me happy! I want to be me......because I am an original.

Remember:
Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.
