God Loves Beyond Measure....And So Can I



This is a beautiful thought for today and a testament as what TRUE LOVE is all about.  Thank you Heaven's Letters for releasing us from our misconceptions and limitations!


God Loves Beyond Measure
Heavenletter #4692 Published on: September 29, 2013
God said:
Accept how much I love you, love you as you are. Accept how much I love you and how much My love is dependent upon nothing but My love for you and not upon qualifying standards that you may think you have to strive for. It behooves you not to wait for My love dependent upon your earning it. My love is sacrosanct. My love is not changeable. My love for you is dependent upon My love for you which is a constant. It is not dependent upon your sense of peace or worth or anything. My love is not something that you have to qualify for. Judgment is not My way nor is judgment your way. My love is not a kind of fraternity in which you have to be selected. My love is not exclusive. My love is inclusive.

I award My love to all. My love is a given. It is the one thing you can count on. My love for you is a given, and it is a given never withdrawn from you. I do not give with one hand and take back with another. My love is a sure thing. My love is given freely. And you are to do the same.

You are not to assess My love as though it were a levy according to your perception of events in your life. You do not total up all the figures to make sure I did it right. No, My love is given spontaneously. I do not size you up. I do not weigh you on a scale. I do not deal in pounds and ounces or other kinds of worldly measures.

GOT FREE WILL? Then why aren't you using it?

     I've often heard the question asked "Why does God allow bad things to happen to us? Or where was HE when this happened? Or if there is a God, why isn't HE saving us now?

     The answer is simple. HE created us with FREE WILL.  That means HE gives us choices and HE respects our choices. By respecting us HE complies with our decisions regardless of what it is.
   
FREE WILL is our SOVEREIGN RIGHT.

     The ones who have tampered with this are our fellow human beings. Our co-inhibitors of Mother Earth, have tried to Lord or rule over us in a superior fashion, however they could not do this unless we gave them the power.

     You may ask "what power is that"? Our FREE WILL.

     You may say, "I didn't and would never give anyone my freedom of thinking & doing for myself".

     Well, let me ask you this? The job/career you work today, are you there because it was always your desire to have that position? Was this what you dreamed you would be doing when you were younger? Or when you finished school, is this the job/career you envisioned? Or are you there because it helps you make your ends meet?

     Okay. So you may still say that you didn't give up your FREE WILL.  So, let me ask you this? When was the last time you went on a trip or vacation that was not based on the amount of money you have or saved up? And how about the food you eat everyday? Are you eating the foods you want to or what you can afford to eat? Are you choosing the same food you would if all the food in the world was free?

     The home you live in, is that what you always dreamed of? If money did not limit you would this still be the home of your choice? Or would you move somewhere else?

     If the answer to any of these questions is "I wouldn't change a thing" then I commend you, you have NOT given away your power.  However, if you have answered differently, then the time to take back your power is now.  Not tomorrow, not when things get better financially, or any other excuse you can make.  Start today. Start by writing down or remembering your dreams about life without restrictions, without the limits of money or anything in your life that stopped you from dreaming.  You know what or who they are.

Quitting the Oppressive Plantation - Wal-Mart

So I finally did it!!! I quit Wal-Mart. And really I'm not knocking the fact that WalMart has helped me feed my children, put a roof over our heads, etc.  However, the work conditions there like so many other corporations is similar to that of a Plantation.

And they said slavery was dead!!! No it actually is not.  It just got a facelift.  Instead of working on the plantation you work in corporate america.  The slave-owner is your job whether it be Target, Wal-Mart, Chevron, Exxon, Apple, Ford Motors, AT&T, or Oprah Winfrey herself, etc. (for a complete list http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2013/full_list/) the point is, you will never own it, even when you buy stock, you have no say so, it's no different than the plantations of old.

The house-niggas are the management teams.  They have no mind of their own, they are just puppets.  And mind you I'm referring to the majority.  The ones who try to be fair or try to follow policy which are supposed to protect the people, are either ignored, dis-empowered, or made into field hands.  They give you a little more money than the field hands and you think you're make a difference.  But in essence what they did was give you hush money, see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil, especially when they crack the whip on the field hands back by demanding "work faster, work harder, same production level" even though they "hung" (fired) some folk for the same pay.

So why did I wait till now to finally say what was on my heart for the six years that I was there.  It's simple. FEAR. Worrying about whether I would get another job, be able to pay my bills, etc.  But isn't that just how the field hands felt? Fearful. You think the slave-owners felt that? Only if there was an uprising. But they had so many different tactics and ways to "keep you in your place".  Only they were allowed to enjoy the "fruits of your labor".

We just allowed FEAR, to keep us from following our dreams.  And once again I am only speaking to those who were like me who felt trapped.  "Leave master and you may get lynched or blackballed", you know what I mean.  So many of us regardless of the color of our skins played a role, some were Kunta Kinte, Kizzy, Chicken George, Binta, or Toby.  It didn't matter what plantation you went to they would still get you. Sure the higher you went up, the easier it seemed but it always comes at a price.  Maybe you have less of a social life or less family time, or you have to compromise your integrity.

Eventually, you take on the attitude, "if I can just make it till retirement" and by this time the best part of your life is gone.  And those of us who lost all zeal of life will declare like Celie "this life soon be over.... Heaven last always".

TRUE ECONOMIC REFORM IS CALLED N.E.S.A.R.A. - THE NATIONAL ECONOMIC SECURITY AND REFORMATION ACT - DEBT - FREEDOM

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE NESARA BILL WAS PASSED IN MARCH 2000 AND SIGNED INTO GOVERNMENT TO OVERHAUL AND DO AWAY WITH THE PRIVATE-OWNED FEDERAL RESERVE BANK, INCOME TAXES, IRS, AND MUCH MORE, BUT CONGRESS REFUSES TO IMPLEMENT IT FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?

SEE AND READ FOR YOURSELF!!! IT IS TIME WE KNOW THE TRUTH!!!! 

IF YOU ARE TIRED OF LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO OTHERS AFTER YOU READ IT AND LET'S SPEAK UP!!! A PETITION WAS SENT OUT IN 2011, IT WAS DENIED!!! (SEE the petition below to see the response from the White House)

N.E.S.A.R.A. was to be announced at 10 a.m. EDT on 11th September, 2001. The attacks on the World Trade Centre occurred just before 9 am that day. There were NO hijackers. President Bush desperately needed a war - partly to stop this announcement! The lives of NY firemen could be at risk as they evidenced the murder of some 200 bank employees who were actioning bank procedures for the implementation of N.E.S.A.R.A. that very morning!

SMOKE AND SCREENS: 9/11, Sandy Hook, Boston Marathon, Syria (Yes, they took precious lives but were orchestrated by our governments to create fear and buy time for them to keep us from prosperity.)

The Trilogy

This past week has marked a trilogy in my life, that is, the death of the three oldest members of my family.  My father, Ralph Sr. (born) August 23, 1922 - (died) September 6, 2006; my mother, Grace (born) August 24, 1929 - (died) March 2, 2012; and my oldest brother, Errol (born) January 26, 1947 - (died) August 26, 2011.

It has been a difficult week but bearable. The last two deaths were very hard to deal with, a change I'm still not use to them being gone.  My brother fought till the end.  I can still remember the last day we were together.  It seems so unfair now if not for the fact that he's no longer suffering.

My mom's death is even harder to deal with.  I thought I was prepared for her death but I wasn't.  I know she's dead but I don't want to accept it.  I find myself at times thinking about trying to call her or her calling me about 1 or 2 in the morning while I'm at work and then I remember she can't do that.  So then I try not to think.  I miss her so much.

I wonder at my naivety, why didn't I understand that she was really dying? Why did I continue to hope when death was in my face?  Why did I see her having more time than she did?  In hindsight, I feel stupid.  I missed out on the opportunity to make her last moments easier for her.  I know it's in the past and I will get over it.

I've heard the cliche over and over again that at the end of the day when everything is said and done, all the arguing, disagreeing, bad feelings, etc.  don't matter.  What matters is the love you shared and the good times.  So don't hold grudges and try to get over the big and the small stuff.  NONE of it matters at all.

I did a poem for my brother and one for mom.  I'm only sharing the one for my brother at this time.  Click link below.

Commentary on Argentine Tango

So, this poem was inspired by my love for the Argentine Tango.  This seasons Dancing with the Stars was sensational.  My favorite dance was always the Paso Doble until this season, now my favorite is the Argentine Tango.  It's so intense that I decided to use its inspiration to write this poem about the "relationship" I had with the guy the poem "Not Ready" is about.

I have quotes around relationship because it wasn't an official one, we were trying to figure out if we were on the same page or not.  We were not!  It took me 8 months to realize that my first impression of him "Not Ready" poem was correct and that he isn't the one for me.

So what's my valuable insight: go with your gut feeling.  It's probably gonna be right 99% of the time.  I'm still learning the concept and I'm 40 years old.  Wow!!! My true love is currently incognito but hopefully that will change within the next year, lol.

I realized that when you truly love someone, you don't find fault in what they do, you don't find things you can't tolerate.  You are willing to work with them wherever they are in their life.

I have got to mention the book "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man" by Steve Harvey, helped me also in my decision to cease and desist this relationship.  Actions have got to match up with the words they speak.  So talking a good game but not having the game to back it up is a big eye opener.  Not going to sell myself short anymore.  Argentine Tango poem

To Divorce or Not to Divorce?

This is a question I've pondered before my divorce and after my divorce.  I've read many different stories about divorce, the effects they have on children, pretty much the good, the bad, and the ugly.  Keep in mind that my thoughts are based on having children.  This is not for individuals who have no kids, divorce is a GOOD option.

What is ironic is how I envisioned life would be after divorce and how I envisioned my life to be before the divorce had not and did not come into fruition.  What makes a good marriage or bad marriage, what makes a good divorce or bad divorce?  The maturity level of the adults in them, that's what.

For the life of me, I don't know why I believed that my immature spouse, once divorced would become a mature divorcee.  The past two days of my life, really pointed this out to me.  If your immature during marriage, why wouldn't you be immature during divorce.Or as my niece says, immaturity is another way of saying not taking responsibility.

The one thing I regret in all of this is not personally going and setting up some type of marriage counselling.  I was so tired and fed up with being the one to always initiate action in the marriage.  I was the one who set up this or set up that or initiated conversation or communication.  So, in my mind, if he really wanted our marriage to work, he would have made the appointment for counseling.  That would have proved to me that he was serious about saving us.  Well I was wrong, that would not have been the point of proof.  The proof would have came during the counseling sessions, if he showed up, if he participated in it.  Therein is where lies the proof.  So in that respect I failed.

So in hindsight, how would I answer the question to stay married or get divorced?  I say get counseling, because when your dealing with the maturity level of the spouses in a marriage, if they don't want to take responsibility for their actions, for their part in what's not working, then you are still going to need some type of counseling.  If it's done before and there is no reconciliation at least you can work on a game plan for after with the help of a professional. Right now, we need professional counseling so we can manage our divorce with children.

There is a saying that states, "Out of the mouth of babes comes the darnedest things".  My 13 year old expressed to me her feelings about our divorce about a year ago.  She said, "adults should live together and get to know one another for at least 5 years before they decide to have children.  Because it's not fair to us when they decide they don't want to be together anymore".

New Year's Resolution -- NOT!

I didn't make a new year's resolution.  It continues to be the same pretty much every year.  Improve emotionally, improve spiritually, improve physically, improve my parenting skills, improve my educational skills, and improve my financial skills.  That's basically it in a nutshell.

So the question really is how am I doing in comparison with last year on all these counts and if I would put a number value from 1 to 10, I would say I have improved............before I can say, I have to add another category cause I don't like the number 6, 7 is a more complete number.  So I'm going to add improve intuitively.

Intuitively may sound like a strange category but when you think of it, it is going with your gut feeling and not second guessing yourself.  And just for the heck of it, you could ask yourself where you rate on these levels too.

Emotionally: 5
Spiritually: 5
Physically: 3
Parenting Skills: 6
Education Skills: 7
Financial Skills: 4
Intuitively: 3

All of these kind of works together because when you improve in one respect it helps the improvement in another respect.  Education is the highest for me because I did complete an Associates degree.  Now I'm working towards my Bachelor's degree.  Physically and intuitively are tied in last place because those are the areas I mostly struggle with.

I'd like to lose weight without going on a strict diet.  I enjoy food, so I've been trying to eat in moderation, cut back on my sweet intake, trick myself into exercising more, and drinking more water.  Yes, I did say trick myself into exercising, for instance, doing more activities with my kids like playing tennis, going to the park, playing baseball (did it once, yay!), and now getting Wii fit.  Not only has this helped me become more active (even at a 10% level), it also helps me bond and spend more time with the kids.

Following my intuition is hard.  I tend to second guess myself.  Getting myself spiritually right and emotionally right helped me improve this area.  Learning to put God first in all things and seeking God's advice in all things has been the key for me.

Good for you if you've made New Year's resolutions.  I prefer not to, just making steady climbs upward.

Finally Getting My Release

So I finally got my release.  And it's sad that it took me so long cause I knew what I needed to do and that is pray.  That's always the key.  I'm still trying to make that my habit, the moment I feel distressed is to pray.

I can always remember to give praises and glory to God for the good things.  I just need to work on doing it for the distressful things.  Sounds backwards, but so true.  For some reason staying mad just seems easier than to forgive, even though in your heart of hearts you know its not right.  So when that happens its just time to pray.

I did that, even though, my head wasn't in it, and I felt the release.  It's the beginning and that release feels good. I'm not weighed down with negativity, cause that just brings on depression, then self-destruction.  Just not worth it.

In all things God must be the center.  That's my goal and I'm working on it.

Parasite - Cuckoo & warbler or dead beat parents

I thought I was done for the day, but had to mention this scientific fact.

There is a bird that purposely lays its eggs in other birds nest, so that they could be cared for.  They are released from all parental responsibilities.  The cuckoo bird lays its eggs in the warblers nest.  The picture shows the warbler feeding the cuckoo.  Clearly not its baby, but never the less taking care of it.



This relationship has got to sound familiar.  Mothers or fathers what do you think of absentee parents that don't take care of their children, don't pay child support, don't call, don't try to have any connection with their children?  Or better yet, what about the parents who totally abandon their children?

Here's one of the poems I wrote a while ago about that:  He Looks Like A Man
