What Would YOU DO?!?!?!

So... I felt like I was being punk'd or secretly on ABC's "What Would You Do" and John Quinones was going to pop up out of nowhere...but that wasn't the case.

I went to QuikTrip to get some cash, so I bought a couple of items and wanted to get $20.00 cash back.

(As the cashier was ringing me up, another customer walks in and asked what the maximum limit was for cash back transactions...he said $25.00)

So he gives me my money..and I leave.....and I go to get an edge up....as I pull out the money in my pocket...I see a $20 bill and then a $5?!?!

So...I was like...maybe he gave me an extra $5.00 and rang the transaction for $25.00 cash back? .....then I look on my banking account...and it says it was for $20.00.......

Maybe...I should keep it b/c it's a blessing from God!!

Or...I could just give it to somebody else who needs it more than me....

or...MAYBE....this is just a test?!!?

What do I do?!?!

oh...and the Cashier.....he's my old roommate!! Ironic?!?!

I couldn't keep it......I had to give it back...what if he would've got in trouble..or even terminated?!?! It's ONLY 5 bucks....

So..I go back into QT and wait til he finishes his transaction and pull him to the side .....

Me: "Dude....you gave me an extra $5 dollars on accident..."

Him: "wait...what?"

Me: "yeah man...I think it's b/c of that dude who walked in and asked about $25 bucks..and you mistakenly gave me another $5, I dont want you to get in trouble or anything"

Him: "ohhh...shoot...."

....so the manager sees this conversation and says "everything alright?"

Me: "Yes sir, he accidentally gave me extra money, no biggie.."

Manager: (shocked) ....pauses....."so you came all the way back and returned it?!?! wow!!"

Me: "yes sir, it's no biggie really lol"

Manager: "You're right...just wait a second, i'll be back"

So...he comes back and hands me this Pre-paid GIFT CARD!!!

"This is for you, there needs to be more people like you on this earth"

.....and I'm just speechless.......

WOWW!!!!

I don't know if this was just a mistake....or if God was testing me......but regardless...I had to do what's right. I didn't do it hoping to get anything in return or a key to the city (LOL) but I just didn't want anybody to get in trouble or lose their job over $5.00 .

AND...in return, I was blessed for it!!

GOD IS TOO GOOD!!! anddddd....I didn't get PUNK'D!!!

MORAL: DO what's right! If someone gives you what YOU DIDN'T PAY FOR...give it back!! It's not yours...and God could be testing you! It could be someone else's job on the line if you don't! Amen?!?! Amen!!

MY VALENTINE

Made in God’s Reflection, wonderfully and fearfully imaged
Your love reflects Him, which places no limits

Vacuous expressions, because I’m amazed at the essence of
Alluring this Angel that’s placed in my presence
Love? Understatement!
Engaged in amazement of your fragrant spirit that
No edible arrangement or teddy bear sprayed with cologne could even come near it
The musical composition is carefully placed and unbroken
If God was fine tuning this love to our music, His opus brings unfathomed hope
Not just for one morning, one day, one night but
Everyday is Valentine’s Day with you in one life

GOD I'm WEAK....

God I’m WEAK…I thought that I was strong
And then I realized I couldn’t do this on my own
Lord I feel so alone….where has everybody gone?
Where are My “friends till the end “ in the end….everybody’s gone
Lord give me direction…..I know I’ve slipped in mess whenI should’ve listened to you…. now I just sit here in depression

God I’m WEAK...
All I need is you ….but your face not your hands
I need another “one more chance”, reveal to me your plans
Now I can’t sleep….b/c all I do is keep…on thinking about the week
when I shoulda been reading your Word
but I was sleeping around being a freak

God I'm WEAK...
But Lord it’s you I seek, I’m trying to reach higher
I’ve been labeled as a whore, player, hypocrite…liar
That I should give it up this Christian walk..just retire
like there’s no chance…..no way that I can please the Messiah

God I’m WEAK….
Lord I know that people will judge me on my past and….
It’s even harder when I can’t even look past it
Although it’s Past tense…I see it in my future
I try to change, but I still do the things that I’m used to

God I’m STRONG…
Because my Past doesn’t define me
It doesn’t end here….so here is where they won’t find me
I’m tired of landing on my back…it’s time I land on my feet
I’m not turning back ….it’s time for a new season…so bye heat
I know I reap what I sow…What’s happened in the past is done
So I gotta move forward and keep my eyes on the prize…. The SON

It'll All Be Worth It

If I had to tell you how much I love you

I wouldnt know where to start

If I had to show you how much I love you

I would just give you my heart

This long distance we have

brings us closer together

because when it comes down to it

It'll be I do...you do.....we do....Forever

Conversations over the phone and Skype

doesn't doesnt really do it justice

because each second leaces me breathless

and sometimes it just feels like just....us

and I'm so glad that he blessed us

My job is to love you like Christ loved the Church

to love you even when it hurts

we both know the relationship wont be perfect

but I promise you Ithat it'll all be worth it

Teach Me How to LOVE

I asked God to teach me to love his people

To rejoice with Truth and NEVER delight in evil

To always trust, to hope

knowing that He will always protect me.

With his unconditional love...unlike others

He would never neglect me

To be patient...kind...and to help me persevere

To be the last to speak and be the first to hear.

To be content with what I have and NEVER boast

because if it wasnt for Him...my blessings would be toast

To keep no records of wrong

when thats how they do me

To not be easily angered by strangers

or to behave rudely

To never envy when someone has what Im desiring

To never seek self ...and if so....retire me

Love never fails

with everything I stated above...

but I also gain NOTHING

if I have not LOVE

The Christian Struggle

Its hard being transparent

and its also hard to call HIM

but how can someone help you

if they dont even know you've fallen?

So now we're staying quiet

like a dog covered with a muzzle

and we wonder why something's missing

like the PEACE without the puzzle

So aint no talkin to our friends

about our problems and our struggles

Because if they knew our weaknesses

then they may no longer love us

We have a problem with our friends

but we always say "We're cool"

So we tell them that we're praying for them

well....atleast we say we do.....

We're not focused on our FAM in CHRIST

and you know thats a no-no

One Body....Many Members

So why we claim we runnin solo??

That's why we're so low

we don't love each other no mo'

We supposed to be on the same team but we not

"no HOMO"

I aint talkin' sexual

let's talk about sex ya know?

the late night texts...leading to late night sex

leads to....well....

Im movin on to the next ya....

My family actin' crazy

so its hard to stay encouraged

I mean I love my fam ......

but they're not as blessed as yours!

I know I shouldn't compare

I'm not hating on your blessings

but I can't sleep at night because I wonder

when will he ever bless me?!

Its easy to say we trust God

and not trust HIM to know whats best

we all want a testimony

but don't want to study for the test

We say "Let go and Let God"....let him do the rest

SO ITS ABOUT THAT TIME THAT WE WALK WHAT WE PROFESS

UNcomMAN

"UNcomMAN" or (Uncommon MAN)....What is UNcommon? Uncommon is how a man should treat a woman...but dont.....Women are always complaining about men being "dogs" or "no good...you know whats...etc" but there are men who are out there worth being with...NOW I KNOW..not ALL men are perfect..that's just not going to happen, but there's no excuse for a woman to be treated WRONG....Sooooo...hope u enjoy..


UNcomMAN

The one that says you're beautiful
instead you're full of booty
Cause your body is a temple
and worth much more than rubies

The one who constantly thinks about you
so he's consistently callin
He's not jealous or insecure
but in love with you he's fallin

He tries to spend time with you
every chance he get
Not the one who's calling late at night
talkin bout can he hit

Says you have a pretty smile
even though you already know you got it
Knows your whole name and personality
before he tries to get to know your body

Sends you random texts
just to let you know he loves you
Puts you in another place
every time he rubs you

See his love for you
is UNconditional
He might not wanna hear what you have to say
but he'll still listen though

The one who randomly picks you up
and takes you for a ride
But he won't tell you where you going
it's supposed to be a surprise
Because he remembers that one place
you talked about that night
but you still dont know what's happening
cause you probably forgot right?!

The one that stayed on your mind
that's why you couldn't sleep
Because you would always fantasize
about the time he rubbed your.....feet
Even after you kept saying
"No...they're ugly to me"
But he grabbed them dogs anyway
and said "They look pretty cute to me"

Everytime you say "Am I talking too much
he say "Naw baby I love to listen"
But deep down this dude wishin
"Will she ever be quiet"...but he knows you like attention

He's the dude who let's you win the argument
even when you wrong
You get that funny feeling
everytime he plays "your song"

So if an UNcomMAN man
is not what you're used to seeing
Then you might wanna take notes
on what you've just been reading.
