Choices – - Spoken Word

The choices we make are sometimes for the best.

We may even turned out to be blessed.

Sometimes they can be distressing…causing us to lose our blessing.

At times we make moves without seeking God first, wandering in the dark…lurking and peaking looking for what we can find for gratification…all along we are fooling ourselves – - psyching our self out and fallen short of the glory of edification.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all His righteousness.

That’s where we fall short and we don’t get blessed…we choose our own path of righteousness…instead of being willing and allowing God to show us how to be blessed.

The choices we make can take a toll and make us fall short of God’s grace and lose our soul…and hopefully we don’t want to go out that way…choose to give God the glory and praise Him all day…so the choice to make is the way the truth and the life.

That choice is the right one to make for your soul…My God for heaven’s sake…the choices we make…

Bee’s Wisdom Hive – - I am a Woman of Possibilities

Sis, can I drop some words into your spirit? We as women are powerful when we are on one accord and standing in God’s presence and His mission and call on our lives. That is when we are truly validated as the daughter He has called us to be…then and ONLY THEN are WE a true Queen.

Good Morning Loves!

I woke up with “I am a woman of possibilities” in my spirit at 5 something this am. Whew! I put a quick search in the internet to discover there is quite a bit of information.  Now mind you, I’ve never read a book or heard of a song regarding this concept. Therefore, I know my information is downloaded from above. I’m the human PC while my Father (God) is the MASTER  hardware designer and software installer.

Here, let me share some of my early am thoughts that were running through this brain of mine, LOL!

I am a woman of strength!

I am a woman of power and I am determined to become my best.

I refuse to do inherent drama and I refuse to allow others to distract me from reaching my goal.

I’ve been to hell and back yet by God’s grace I am still here.

Thus, that means my assignments are NOT over; and from this point forward my focus is clear.

Sis, I’ve learned some dear lessons over the past few years. One is, NOT everyone is in your corner and another is, some people are in your life to distract you. Another key component is, one must always examine their OWN behavior regarding every aspect of their life. Here’s what I mean, examine ‘YOU’, the people around you, how they affect and or effect you and your interactions with them. At one point in my life I had to learn to put up some boundaries. It didn’t mean certain people were put out of my life but I quickly learned who was manipulative and who actually cared about me. Sometimes, even the one’s who care the most about you still have the ability to hurt you deeply. This is where unconditional love comes into play, but hey it doesn’t mean I have to handle you with kid gloves OR allow you continued access into areas that might still be painful for ME!

See healing is often an ongoing process in life. I had to learn that there is only ONE true healer and quickly realized it is HE who allowed me the continued freedom to grow in spite of the recessed pain. I am at a place in life where I pay attention to the signs and people around me. If I determine someone or something is hindering my growth that is the warning bell to handle the issue appropriately. Sometimes it means walking away. Sometimes it means a person must be cut off and sometimes that happens without a conversation. In my head they’ve been placed in a certain container or genre, LOL! Let me keep it 100! Life is too short to allow folk to distract you from YOUR goals and destiny! Don’t allow anyone to use you unnecessarily! We are always to be meek and humble, but stupid is NOT part of that process, LOL!

Girl, please…I’m even to a point where there were times a bro got cut off and he never even knew what hit him, LOL! See this is the ticket, no man can do to you unless YOU allow it and you must always take ownership of your behavior as I mentioned above. I love the bro’s, but let’s be real, not everyone is HEALTHY FOR US OR MEANS US ANY GOOD! The question becomes, “How can you tell?” Can I share a secret? Shhh…come closer…I learned to ask! Yes, it’s that simple – - ask your Father. It is He who created you and it is He who knows you best! Dang, I’m thinking of some (male) assignments He had placed on me in the past, but Sis, that’s just what it was an assignment. It wasn’t permanent! Some of us are walking into situations that were only deemed for a season and we ended up making it permanent. Seasons of Opportunities must be clarified (click on the blue link to read the blog).

Even now Loves, I’m assessing THIS season of my life and I encourage YOU to do the same. Ask and it shall be given, seek and ye shall find but the key is aligning yourself up in the spirit so your life can flow in the right direction in the natural.  Matthew 6:33  http://bible.cc/matthew/6-33.htm

Love ya sis and BE BLESSED until we meet again…My prayers are with you Queen and remember to watch your tone, not just with men but with everyone you interact with on a daily basis for you never know what doors you might OPEN OR CLOSE based on your communication skills.

YOU WILL NOT “GTD” FROM ME

You Will Not “GTD” From Me!!!

I’m reminded of an old episode of “Martin” while he was talking to… Tommy

Back then I thought it was hilarious and just entertainment…

I didn’t realize how foolish it was because I had done this thing…

They had a little black book and right beside a few names… there were a few letters…

“G-T-D”

Martin asked Tommy what do the letters stand for… what do they mean?

Tommy didn’t want to answer, but he did after Martin asked him repeatedly…

He said it stands for “Got the Draws Dawg!”  “I Got the Draws!”

Well if you knew me… then you know I laughed hysterically!

It’s been a while since I’ve seen it but something happened that brought it to my mind recently…

There have been a few young so called Godly men that claimed to have interest in me…

Only to find out… they were only interested in one thing…

I’ve got news for them and I’m speaking this in Jesus’ name publicly!

YOU WILL NOT “GTD” FROM ME!!!

I can think of a few choice words…

While in anger I’ve heard…

But I don’t use profanity!

I’ll stop right here and REPENT….

Cleanse my heart God because in thought I’ve sinned…

I’m crying Lord please forgive me!?!

The Bible says be angry and sin not…  this I will honor and keep…

So I’ll let this righteous indignation burn its way out to get my release!

YOU WILL NOT “GTD” FROM ME!!!

You disrespectful, arrogant, lust filled person walking in carnality!

I’m walking upright before God consecrating myself trying to live clean and holy!

I’m not just another pretty face…

With nice hips, lips, and a small waist for you to degrade!

I’m your sister so treat me accordingly!

I’ve had to lie on my face many nights…

Clutched my pillow ‘til the early morning light

That’s just fine with me!

If it sounds like I’m screaming I am… so please believe!

YOU WILL NOT “GTD” FROM ME!!!

I was sixteen years old the first time a man tried to rape me!

That scarred me so bad that I was a virgin when I married at the age of twenty three!

Yes, since then I’ve had indiscretions and I repented… God forgave me!

Now here you come all smooth talking wanting some…

Just wanting to have a little fun…

Instead of covering you’re trying to uncover me!

I am not your one night stand!

Your booty call, your friend with benefits!

This is not what God had is His plan for you nor for me!

God created me to be a rib!

To be loved and nurtured so I can live!

So yes… You I do forgive!

No!  I do not expect an apology!

My earnest prayer is for you to be set free!

From you Man of God I expected a little more maturity!

YOU WILL NOT “GTD” FROM ME!!!

Don’t even think about stopping by my house late at night!

Young man grow up and get it right!

There are some of us that value our lives!

We’re not walking in arrogance or pride!

We know our worth!  God knows our hearts desire!

We walk in celibacy!

We don’t want another soul tie or spirit spouse attached to us!

In this you can trust!

We don’t want your STD!

You can insert the phrase here and say it loud with me!

YOU WILL NOT “GTD” FROM ME!!!

I’m in the company of Prophets and I am a Prophet so did you think I couldn’t see?!

This thing cuts deep it really hurts…

You’re a man of God you know me and you’re supposed to know my worth!

I thought you would have known better than anybody!

Acting like a warlock, a whoremonger, a slut!

Sending seducing spirits like incubus!

You are dong way too much!

Repent and be the man God called you to be!

How about instead of scheming and lying…

Why don’t you try submitting your flesh to God and dying…

Mortifying the deeds of the flesh and walk in integrity!

There is something you’re missing!

While your Pastor is preaching you’re not listening!

And it’s obvious you don’t practice what you preach!

So I’m going to say this one more time…

I pray you get my point ‘cause I’m really trying…

To those that matter please forgive my using colloquialisms while I speak…

But this seams to be the only way he’ll understand…

I’ve got to get through to this man and every man..

So I’ll speak EBONICALLY!

YOU WILL NOT “GTD” FROM ME!!!

There is a remnant of chosen vessels and I am one of them you see!

I’m hurting while I’m writing and I’m dying to self while I’m crying because God told me to put the pen to paper and this I decree!

I’ve got to get this in your spirit!

Yes I know you don’t want to hear it!

I’ll yell it on the roof tops for EVERYBODY!

I’ll say it in your ear and be clear

So you can hear and sisters have no fear!

Now say this out loud if you agree!

YOU WILL NOT “GTD” FROM ME!!!

Leaving a Legacy

On the way into work on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 I began to reflect on portions of my life. Earlier in the week on Sunday, January 20^th my middle son Joshua exchanged vows with the love of his life (Tiara).  As I sat there, I gazed at all three of my boys for a couple of moments. I had to hold back the tears; for I was determined I was NOT going to cry. Yet as I watched them, I was proud, the eldest and the younger – - they stood beside their brother as he began a milestone of his new life with a wife. This was a tremendous moment! I’m backtracking a bit to let you see a glimpse of what that day was like. It was cold winter day but beautiful. I believe LOVE (you know how much I LOVE L.O.V.E. ) was in the atmosphere and even though these young people were young there was approval from many well-wishers.

Josh’s godmother (Judy) came to me afterward to tell me she felt he was doing the right thing and she felt OK with his decision. Now mind you I’ve known this woman all my life, actually since about eleven and she stood with me when I got married. Therefore, we are close enough for her to share her feelings of approval or disapproval. I trust her and she trusts me. Josh is the same age as my first engagement which never materialized into marriage. However, I remember when I told my grandfather Ozell Gooding about it, he didn’t discourage me but talked with me instead, giving me his support. I try to do the same for my children – - give them SUPPORT! More importantly, my son followed through on his teaching, abstinence and no children until marriage.

Anyway, on Wednesday I was reflecting because years ago my grandfather Walter J. Oliver had shared some wisdom with me before he passed away. It’s interesting to me now because I realize he KNEW he was dying. It was he who came to tell me his best friend had passed away months earlier. His best friend was my maternal grandfather (Ozell). Interesting isn’t it? They were close and for whatever reason it was he (Walter J.) who patted my shoulder as he gave me the news of my loss (Ozell) and then he declares, “We all have to die, even me.” I am paraphrasing but that was the gist of his words. Unbeknownst to me he would be gone about eight months later and this was his way of warning me. I declare to this day he was prepping me. You can check out more of my grandfather’s friendship here called Ode to Thee. Both men left me a legacy to live up to; and I desire to do the same for my children.

Joshua was born in February of 1993 and granddaddy (Walter J.) came to see him in the hospital. I’ve since realized my grandfather came to see me both times when I had a child. In fact, he stood in my stead when Scott, my firstborn spent a month in the NBSCU (Yale New Born Special Care Unit). Because of Josh’s size my grandfather dubbed him Josh the Hittite, while the second nickname was Deacon because he had a head, fingernails and neck like Ozell Gooding. Needless to say, eventually the names slowly went away to Josh’s pleasure, LOL!

During the first few months after my son’s birth I was able to spend much time with my grandfather. Some time was over the phone and some in person. I remember him coming to visit me in my first house. I could see the twinkle in his eye that he was proud of us. Even that day as he sat there on the French provincial sofa we chatted easily and effortlessly. We would talk for hours and honestly to this day I can’t remember about what overall. I am grateful for that time because he was gone about four months later.

However, I do remember two vital pieces of information he shared with me that I still carry in my heart. Both were equally important to my growth as a young woman. The second concerns my children. My grandfather was clear in this statement, “Belinda, take care of YOUR children.” Now mind you I had two sons at the time and I was married. As with anything that is shared with us most times we don’t understand the value or depth of the conversation until much later. As I grew wiser, I learned my grandfather had key discernment! That man was off the chain with it! LOL! Ladies and Gents, I figured that out many, many, many years later. Did I say many? LOL!  I believe he KNEW I would end up being a single mom and he was warning me of my responsibility.

So, as a single mom I sat there watching my sons waiting for Tiara to arrive down the aisle, and I felt a sense of peace. I had worked hard in raising these young black men. Often there where choices made that they didn’t understand; like moving them OUT of the inner-city or making them change schools. I’ve never had to bail them out of jail, no calls about drinking, drugs or smoking and I am NOT a grandmother. I had almost singlehandedly put one (Scott) through college the past four years. One was about to get married (Josh) and leaves for the military, and the youngest is a freshman in high school (Josiah).

As I peered at them smiling to myself I felt an overwhelming of love. I raised them to be men as much as my capability allowed. I raised them to cherish their wives and NOT to cheat. Many times I would warn them if you cheat your MOMMA WILL TAKE YOU OUT! LOL! Oh those who know me know I am dead serious even when laughing, LOL!

We as parents spend time wondering if our hands and love of labor are in proper measure when teaching our children about life’s habitually erratic path. It is never perfect but we strive for moral values, character and more importantly we strive to love. I know my sons love me. It is evident in our interaction and the world can see it. We still go to movies together, we still crack jokes on each other – - oh you already KNOW mom shuts it down when necessary, LOL; and I try to balance out my motherly behavior to give them room for growth. But don’t get it twisted; if you go after my sons inappropriately Momma Bee will have an audience with YOU! LOL!

Seriously, though THAT’S MY JOB to leave them a legacy! As I continued to reflect about my grandfather’s on Wednesday, the thought came to mind, I think they would be proud of me, don’t you?

Bee’s Wisdom Hive – Seasons of Opportunities

We are approaching the end of 2012 a number that represents divine order and government. However as I sat down to write today my heart is heavy and grieving. Yesterday there was a mass murder of babies in our country (Newtown, CT) and I can’t help but to reflect on the tragedy of losing a loved one. Giving birth to a child is a wonderful experience but to lose that same child so young is heartbreaking. With that being said, Ladies can I talk to ‘us’ for a few moments as mothers, wives, single ladies and women in general?

As I reflect on my own life I never deny the struggles that I’ve gone through from childhood until now – - a woman in her late forties. I am grateful I survived but I am quick to surmise that I was able to maintain through prayer and my relationship with God. Sis, I am NOT supposed to be walking this earth; but due to God’s favor and grace on my life I am still here. Thus, I am always reaching back to help and teach other’s a blueprint of success. I am quite aware that there are many influences that often cause us to be distracted from our ‘true’ goals and our walk of destiny, but sis we must discipline our minds and spirits so that order will arise out of chaos.

One way to do this is to asses our OWN life, our character, desires and actions. So often we want to indict ‘others’ but often miss the memo to look at our inward motives. Motives speak volumes in life, love and relationships. Sis, do you ever think about why you do what you do? Often the root cause stems from past pain, baggage, sexual molestation, rape or some other trauma or drama that came knocking at the door of our life. I get it Sis, that man or woman that hurt you deeply changed your ENTIRE life and often they have moved on like nothing even happened; and you were left devastated, crumbled and sometimes even emotionally and spiritual crippled, and your life was forever changed.

Yet, as we move forward in the beginning of the New Year, 2013, Sis, I’m sure you desire change(s) in your life. There’s an adage, to get a different result you are going to have to do something different; which means YOU are going to have to be radical in your thinking and more so in your actions. Living and producing the same outcome is never healthy to our mental mind or our spirit. We as humans were designed to be physically, emotionally and mentally whole. Therefore to be holistic in our body, mind and spirit we need to be aware that whenever we go through various cycles and or situations we must assess OUR process and become determined to change any future outcome(s). So many of us don’t understand how we end up where we are and more so are not aware that often true change of results lies within the power of our own hand. We might not be able to change those around us or even how they treat us, but we clearly can decide how we will participate and more so how we will react.

Women we are POWERFUL but as life-givers we need to get back to our roots. It is we who rocked the cradles of the children we gave birth to and change comes when WE pray! We are WOMBman for we give life not only naturally but also spiritually. I struggle to understand why do we view other women as our enemies when we are similar at our core. It doesn’t matter whether we decide to carry a child or choose to not associate with motherhood; we all still have a womb and that alone speaks of kinship in my mind.

I have just completed writing, Teaching Lessons Defining Moments “The Prophetic Prayers of the Proverbs 31 Woman” and “The Love Journey Series Volume I.” Both books were published by True Perspective Publishing House on October 18, 2012. The prayer-book contains a model of powerful prayers. According to one reviewer it is for all women, whether they are married, single, widowed, divorced or they desire to be married. If you’ve experienced ANY TYPE of loss this book will help change your life! While, The Love Journey series is a mixture of poems and short quips that speaks to loving a person unconditionally. If you are not on a Journey of Unconditional Love it will begin to show you the path.

Bee’s Wisdom Hive – A Man should be Pouring into You!

Sis, can I drop some words into your spirit? We as women are powerful when we are on one accord and standing in God’s presence and His mission and call on our lives. That is when we are truly validated as the daughter He has called us to be…then and ONLY THEN are WE a true Queen.

Lately, I’ve been reiterating that a man should pour into the woman who is he with in a relationship and or /marriage. Today, it then  occurred to me that some women might not understand this reference regarding pouring; so briefly, I want to share with you the pouring construct so you can understand from  a biblical perspective what a man should be doing in your life.  You can agree or disagree but a healthy foundation is necessary for any successful union.

A simple explanation of pouring is something that continuously flows. For example when it rains hard it appears that someone opened the window of heaven and hurls a big bucket of rain water down on the earth below. That rain continues until the bucket is no longer tipped on the scale of abundance. Does that make sense now Sis? Well let’s use that same understanding when we speak of the man in our life.

Have you ever read Ephesians 5:22-33? Well let’s take a look at it now and I want to draw your attention to verse 29 where it speaks of feeding – - do you see that? 22Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26to make her holy, cleansing^b her by the washing with water through the word, 27and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— 30for we are members of his body. 31“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”^c 32This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

Think about it Sis, when you are hungry you attempt to nourish yourself. Well a man should do the same for you but in an emotional and spiritual way – - he should nourish you spiritually (wash you with the word) and emotionally (understand your emotions). Thus, he should be helping you grow by identifying who you are and assisting you in change. So often, we as women don’t want anyone to correct us; and for many of us it has never crossed our minds that the man in our life should be doing just that – - correcting us. Yeah, I heard you sis and saw you – - you with your hands on your hips, and neck rolling saying, “He ain’t my momma.” No sis, he is NOT BUT his ability to speak into your life allows him to be the head. In addition your honor of him shows him you care for him. Did you know that honor to a man is often akin to love? No, check out IT’S ALL ABOUT HONOR!

Now I know some women are going to say and pipe up right about now and state, “But I am NOT married to him yet.” Sis, I understand that but if you are learning to walk as one it doesn’t just snap into place after you say ‘I do,’ the process must begin now. Now mind you I can’t tell you exactly when in your relationship this should happen, but I can say this, it should be discussed and you have a choice to adjust accordingly around him or not; and if he’s a man that walks upright before God, and is a praying man then he should already be in position to begin to cover you. A woman who honors should never tear at her covering for that would make her a foolish woman.

Can I leave some BeeWisdom with you? Prior to you even agreeing to talk to him/see him/be in a relationship you should have ALREADY run him by YOUR FATHER in your prayer closet. So often, many of us neglect the first prerequisite; and should by chance something does go awry you can go back to your Father for additional instructions. Now if you were given the green light the next step is asking God to confirm the situation. For example, if this man who you believe ‘might’ be it, talk to the Father and ask for additional clarity as He confirms. Here’s an example: what brother man pours into you, not only should it uplift you and speak into your life but it should also show up elsewhere.

Here let me be transparent for a minute and you cannot tell the man I’m sharing this with you, because I’ve never told him; it’s our little secret, OK? LOL. About three months ago, I remember the precise day, October 5, 2012, brotha man said something to me. I took it in for it was powerful and the reality is I didn’t expect him to say what he said to me. Let’s just say I didn’t see it coming and oh yeah, he has a tendency to catch me off guard, LOL. I did thank him for the ‘pouring’, remember Queens are ALWAYS GRACIOUS!

Within a matter of hours what he had given me was confirmed by somebody who he doesn’t know and it aligned up with what he had said to me earlier that day. Needless to say I was speechless because I saw God’s hand working in my particular situation. There was an OVERFLOW!! A pouring that spoke to my spirit and God confirmed!!! WOW!!

Ladies, it was that simple. I promise you that if you seek wholly after God for His direction, you will get answers and it doesn’t take God long to respond. Remove your disbelief and doubt and flow as the pouring begins! We have to continue this later for there is NO WAY I can cover all what I need to say today. Stay tuned Queen!

Love ya sis and BE BLESSED until we meet again…My prayers are with you Queen and remember to watch your tone, not just with men but with everyone you interact with on a daily basis for you never know what doors you might OPEN OR CLOSE based on your communication skills.

Bee’s Wisdom Hive #WhenAWomanHonorsAMan – IT’S ALL ABOUT HONOR!

Sis, can I drop some words into your spirit? We as women are powerful when we are on one accord and standing in God’s presence and His mission and call on our lives. That is when we are truly validated as the daughter He has called us to be…then and ONLY THEN are WE a true Queen.

Ladies, I want to leave a simple thought with you today about dealing with the men in your life. Whether I agree or not one thing I have learned is honor. I am a work in progress trust a sis on that and to get a different result, one must do something different. So as we enter 2013 let’s make a choice to show honor to the men in our life.

Disclaimer: In case you didn’t know honor is respect to a man; and when you respect a man you show him YOU LOVE HIM even when he messes up; and know that a man who loves you struggles when he disappoints you. Often it is you who determines his next move, whether he continues to try to do better in regards to the mistake (in correcting himself). I don’t want to delve to deep but let’s keep it simple. Your reaction – how you speak to that mistake/error speaks volumes to his spirit! Be wise in your tone and action. Check out Bee’s Wisdom Hive on tones.

Sis, a man marries a woman based on how she makes him feel about himself. The reality is she honors him BEFORE marriage. Guess what? Her honor is intentional! Sis can the man in YOUR life say that about you in your friendship with him? His intent on marrying you might be riding on this concept and few men like dealing with drama queens.

You should always be friends with a man first. A marriage should always be based on friendship for friends can often step away and leave emotions at door when serious discussions need to happen. For men – friendship is huge – - most women miss that. Sis, that man needs to really like you. In my opinion, like and love is different for men and women. Women say they love (a man) even when they don’t like what a man does. Girl, you already KNOW we are emotional creatures, LOL.

Whereas, when a man likes you he can look past your faults. Most times your flaws become part of why he loves you…unique…different. Meaning things like the way you smile or squint your eyes when laughing. Men look for uniqueness; it’s not just about visual compatibility and sex with them. And sis, if that’s all you see, then I submit to you he is NOT a mature man.

The bottom line is men are wired differently from women and it’s more than internal and external appendages. Sis, if he doesn’t see you honoring him now in friendship, most times he knows that won’t change if he marries you. Don’t miss out being with a Good Man!

Love ya sis and BE BLESSED until we meet again…My prayers are with you Queen and remember to watch your tone, not just with men but with everyone you interact with on a daily basis for you never know what doors you might OPEN OR CLOSE based on your communication skills.
