You asked ... I Answer...

Today as I was driving home I thought about one particular question. When I am asked this general question I usually give a generic little answer and go on about my way. BUT today is different. Today and TODAY only I am going to expand & take my answer to the next level. Soooo take notes or remember the web address to this blog and refer back to it as needed.

Now the Question….

"So … Tell me about yourself?"

You thought the question would be something like … Who am I voting for Hilary or Obama? Or something serious like… what are my thought on the Aids epidemic in Africa? NOPE … This question, I get from people (mainly men) who saw my picture on myspace & think they may want to test the waters and see what kinda chick I am. I guarantee for those who have inquired have left only with thought… that is was NOT what I expected.


So here it is …. The Makings of Me …

I am a woman that is a long way from perfect, BUT so close to the true meaning of what it means to be a work in progress really. Some days I am delayed & prevented from moving the direction I am strive to go, though a delay does not stop my movement.

Simple said… I ain’t done yet; the best is yet to come

I am a woman that loves intensely. When you have a heart that functions, love is what it produces. Your heart LOVES to Love! That is not just a figure of speech, it what it really does. Technically a heart is NOT meant to THINK it just loves. It will love whatever you put in its presents. If you expose your heart to drugs it will love drugs, if you expose your heart to drama, you will love drama. This explains why a woman can still love a man that beats the shit out of her. She is crazy …but her heart is doing its job of loving the man that beats her. So knowing that I behold a heart that is fully functional in its ability love, I wrap my self in Proverbs 4:23 …
Guard your heart above all else for it determines the course of your life …
I don’t want to get caught up in loving the wrongs things OR the wrong PEOPLE. So it may take a minute before you are introduced to the wellspring of love that overflows within me.

Simply said… I am EXTREMLY Guarded

I am a woman that will greet you with my mind. My words reflect the thoughts that have traveled through the waves of my brain. Nothing gets left out. Many women say things to hint at what they mean & expect for you to luck up on figuring out the rest of they mean. Not this chick … I don’t like guessing games because of the damages that guessing wrong can cause. So I will leave you with no assumptions of me. My opinions are not kept a secret. I will share the funny, the silly, and the harsh unsympathetic views that keep things realistic. I have long since moved away from the land of fairy tales and I have no desire to return.

Simply said… I kept it plain & real ALL the time


I am woman that likes nice things but FAR from materialistic. Matthew 6:24 …

"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money

Having a house in Lake Ridge is nice but I will not allow having a home Lake Ridge control me. I can settle for a lovely home kinda by Lake Ridge if needed. I make my house a home not the subdivision called Lake Ridge.

Simply said … I like shopping at Nordstrom’s but T.J. Max will do

I am woman who loves GOD. I love to be in Gods House. I love to be among Gods people. I love to experience His presence, I love working towards His greater good.
I LOVE the ministry I am involved in. I am active in my youth ministry at church. It makes me overflow with joy when the hardest thug runs to me for simple hug because they don’t get hugs anywhere else. When they learn because I am teaching is just awe-inspiring to keep going EVEN though some of them are bad as hell! They are the reason I call myself to higher standard in life because I don’t want to be the cause of leading them astray.

Simply said I am Christian.

I am a woman who desires to be in a relationship & one day married. I was not given the gift that Paul speaks of in Corinthians to remain single … I feel loneliness BUT I will not allow that one emotion to lead me to make rushed and make reckless decisions regarding dating & relationships. Furthermore hearing my biological clock tick away will not reduce me to settling for “testing driving” different relationships until I find one that seems like it could right. Test driving is meant for cars NOT people.

Simply said…Trying out as many romantic options as possible to make sure you land on the right one doesn’t make you more ready or more sure; it makes you more used up.


Ok this is getting long …

Simply said …The Makings of Me are NUMEROUS … But overall I am comfortable in my brown skin, I love my natural hair, I am thankful for my blessings I AM intricately designed as just ME! Like it … Love it … OR LEAVE ME ALONE!
