Deanna

I'd like to meet:

Is it possible to find someone who does not have pretense? Someone who can be himself from day one? Someone who will let me see his great characteristics as well as his flaws? From the beginning? Please be true to who you are. Only then can you attrack who you really need in your life. If you pretend you receive pretense. If you are truthful, you receive the promise that God has for you. I don't ask for much but please do me a favor and be true to who you really are from the beginning. When you lie to me, you make the determination for me that I can not handle the truth. You are not Jack Nicholson and I am not Tom Cruise. I deal much better in reality than I do in fantansy.

I would love to be reaquainted with some old friends while making plenty of new friends. And hey if friendship turns into something else, I won't turn it away (within reason)

I had a talk with God the other day. GOD: He told me, if you know what’s good you’ll change your ways. ME: But everything I do is not the right thing. GOD: That’s because you haven’t yet accepted the things that life may bring. ME: But just think, what people will say if they know what’s on my heart. GOD: But child, I created you; you’re my work of art. I made you to have a strong soul no matter what you go through and yet you continue to take actions that satisfy people and never you. ME: So how come everything is the wrong thing to do? GOD: That’s easy he says, try this, live your life being true. ME: What about the experiences and tribulations that burden me, the troubles flow down, they never seem to cease? GOD: My child, trust in me, I’ll never steer you wrong, follow your true feelings and it will be easier to move along. ME: Okay lord, I believe you with everything in me take control of me, lift me high where I long to be. I have accepted what I could never help, I won’t mind what others say, I love myself. Let’s see where this leads me in this cold cruel world. Thank you for this talk, I no longer feel like a lost little girl.

Music:

Dear Lord, Thank you for this day that you have given me. I know that it is only beacuse of Your grace and Your mercy that I am here. So Lord give me strength on this day. Strength to know thy name, to seek thy face, to know thy ways. Give me the courage to go forward allowing me to have peace and serenity. I ask for wisdom and knowledge to understand Your purpose for my life. I know with you all things are possilbe. In the name of Jesus. AMEN

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder. You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger. May you never take one single breath for granted. God forbid love ever leave you empty handed. I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance and when you get the choice to sit out or dance. I hope you dance, I hope you dance. I hope you never fear those moutains in the distance. Never settle for the path of least resistance. Living might mean taking chances but they are worth taking. Loving might be a mistake but it's worth making. Don't let some hellbent heart leave you bitter. If you come close to selling out, reconsider. Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance and when you get the choice to sit out or dance. I hope you dance, I hope you dance. May I have this dance?

~Quotes~

~ It may be that most of us write our own life story, making it up as we go along, but others seem to have lives that are already shaped and planned, inescapable, perfect as a circle just as God planned.~

~ We are always acting on what has just finished happening. It happened at least 1/30th of a second ago. We think we're in the present, but we aren't. The present we know is only a movie of the past.~

Thomas Wolfe

~ Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase. ~

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

~ First absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Then absence makes the heart wander and inevitably absence makes the heart forget. ~

I was a queen in Africa I was honored I was respected And I was loved.But they ripped me from the womb of the Motherland and thrust me into a European society. Then I became a slave, a nigger. I was dishonored. I was disrespected and I was hatedI struggled many years as a slave but I survived being the strong black woman that I am.Time rolled on and I was later called Negro. Now the difference between nigger and negro, I’m not real sure. But I think somehow I was esteemed higher on their scale of economics and humanity. In some strange way this was supposed to be a compliment.Things were a little better now. I was no longer a slave, thank you Lord, and I no longer worked in the fields. But I no longer received my meals from the big house and I no longer could glean the scraps from the fields. I was hungry and my children, they were hungry. So I went back to the fields. Now they say I’m supposed to be free, they say this is supposed to be a better life for me, but if feels like the same old bondage to me.Now time continues to roll on and I am now called African-American. Now I must say that I do like this name a little better because it connects me with my motherland. Things are getting even better. I am supposed to be considered equal to my white counterparts. But it does seen like I have to work just a little harder to get the things that they have and when I look around at my neighborhood, it looks just a little different than maybe my white co-worker. Yeah I know, I, you, we have come a long way but you must realize that before I am truly satisfied, I must be as I was, A Queen. I must be honored I must be respected and I must be loved ~Deanna K.
