Its time to get it off your chest!!

Hope to hear from you soon!!

Detriment of A Promiscuous Youth

 I look into your eyes
And I see a child
Struggling to be a woman
Because you feel as if
That's what the world
Wants you to be

Everything about you is grown
Your hair
Your attire
Your speech
Your demeanor
And most notably
Your body

Fortunately however
Your soul still has
An infantile glory
Which means it's not too late
To turn back and re-embrace
Your lack of maturity
In order to
Recapture and enjoy
The childhood that you were
All too willing to throw away
At the expense
Of your soul
Your sanity
And your overall well being

I know they flatter you
to make you see them that way but
I pray you hold on to that innocence
For that gift is too precious
To be giving so early in your life
Especially to those
Who only claim to love you
Up until that gift is unwrapped
And they've received it's content
Leaving you to feel shame
In your heart and feeling as if
The only way to forget about it
Is to do it again with someone else
Because in your heart
You just know
That this one will mean it

You lie to yourself until
You can't see the real truth anymore
It becomes routine
You grow accustomed to the lifestyle
And inherit all the negative influences
In an attempt
To make the pain go away
And to again claim your virtue
Only to realize that
It's not coming back

Let's all kneel and
Ask God for restoration
Seek His wisdom and guidance
So that
We can be made whole again and
Return to His glory


Please pray for our youth...

The word for the day: What must be taught!!

Teach older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will
malign the word of God. Titus 2:3-5
 

Whats on your mind!!

Teenagers find themselves tackling situations themselves. It is not easy to talk to someone who loves you so much because they view you as perfect. Thoughts go through your mind that it is best they just not know what is really going on, otherwise their love for you may fade. Teenagers often think:

• "oh if my mom and dad knew I was thinking about sex, they would kill me"
• "what they don't know won't hurt them"
• "if I act normal, they would never suspect anything"
• "my boyfriend (or girlfriend) said he(she) loved me, so why not have sex with him(her)"
• "I feel like I have known him(her) forever"
• "if I don't do it, I will be talked about"
• "my mom or dad had sex at an early age, why can't I"
• "He (she) makes me feel safe, so I should make him(her) happy"
• "I will never get pregnant"
• "I will never have an STD"
• "I know him (or her) enough, im sure he is clean"
• "I enjoy texting him(her) to make him(her) feel good, I would never do it"

I can go on and on about what teenagers think about when they are sexual active or thinking about it. Question is why are you so afraid to talk to someone about it? If you know its wrong then, there is nothing that is going to make it right! You can never take that moment back, think about it!!

 

My life as a teenager!!

These three boys are who started my life. Without them I am not sure where or who I would be. My story begins as a little girl who did not feel that my life was worth living. I was not the prettiest thing created, so I took this feeling and shut out everyone in the world. My dad (God rest his sole) was not the most supportive person in the world considering that he was never around much. Not having anyone to turn to for fatherly advice besides my brother, I did not have the much needed protection a little girl should have.

 Around the age of  14, I begin to mature into a young women and my body went through many changes. As I started to slim down, I became more appealing to the eye of the opposite sex. As a attention seeker at the time, guys approached me an I begin to gain confidence I never had. But there was only one guy that seem to catch my attention more than the other ones. Needless to say he became the father of my three boys. At the age of 15 I became a mom and it was the greatest gift and blessing ever, but scary at the same time. I was fortunate enough to have much needed support from my mother. My kids father and I made it through the pregnancy but things started changing after I returned to school for the first time after giving birth to our child. I never pressured him to stay with me, nor did I approach any of the other females he became interested in. Time healed all wounds, so I was patient. During our on and off moments, we managed to continue what little relationship we had for the sake of our child. In-between break ups and make ups, our second child came along at the age of 17. Unfortunately he did not finish high school, but he was there when I needed him. He decided to stay in the area with me while his mom worked in other states. As part of our family household unit, our home grew smaller as my family continued to grow. We decided to get our own place at the age of 19 to show that we can be responsible parents. By the age of 21 I gave birth to another son and made the decision to end my cycle of child birth. Shortly after my kids father and I parted ways due to many differences.

During all of this, I felt as if I was alone. My mother gave what she could to help us, but it was only so much she can do. She made sure that I graduated from high school and that I had all the necessary credentials to take care of my children. It was not until I graduated when I worked for the first time. In the mean, time my child support from my dad was all the income I had. Being able to file taxes for the first time after a years worth of income, I got my own place and car to drive. There has not been once at the moment that I asked anyone for a dime. I am proud to say that I did it all on my own. I may not have had the luxury of cable at the time or a phone, but I made what I could afford work.

There is so much to my story but the morale is to encourage others and to let them know that they are not alone. I am currently a administrative specialist helping women, infant, and children get a jump start of their daily food intake and a student of University of Phoenix. It has been a journey to get here, but I made it and I want to help other mothers overcome it as well. I would also like to help teenagers battle the peer pressure of wanting to engage in sexual intercourse. Either way, my heart pours our to those in need of assistance. Tell me what is stopping you from following your dream?
