Paula White's Divorce

Paula White is a inspiration to all women who have endured horrific pain in their lives and has struggled to over overcome them. The example of her testimony enables others to understand that you don’t have to wallow in your sorrows and hurts; just put one foot in front of the other and move forward.

I often watch Paula’s television show to listen to her wisdom on sexual and physical abuse because I too came from that similar background. Trust me when I say, it is not easy to fight those constant reminders of relatives/ people who betray you in the worst way. In my opinion, for Paula White to hold no bitter resentment and to except the Gospel of Jesus Christ at the age of eighteen, demonstrate that she’s a true child of God.

Randy and Paula’s divorce is very shocking to the Christian community because we look to our leaders to set the example for us to follow. Sometimes the church wants their preachers to be immortal and immune to human behaviors, but think about it who really needs a Pastor that hasn’t experienced problems of any kind? To me, this proves that Paula and Randy are normal human beings who face the same issues as all society does.

It was very commendable of them to announce their personal marital problems with their congregation. I understand if they’re not ready to address the television viewers of “Without Walls Ministries” and the world about the break downs and mistrusts in their marriage. I would suggest, to the followers of Randy and Paula White to allow them to gather their thoughts and heal from whatever disputes they may have.

It is very unfair to the Whites to imply all these accusation towards marital infidelities. How can we question any biblical grounds of adultery if Paula and Randy haven’t discussed what their problems were?

This is an outrage to accuse them of backstabbing God and their members without any proof. Especially when their history has been nothing, but putting positive words and energy into the world. I am confident in whatever trials that they are enduring that God has the answers and He will help them through it. So, relax and let them gather the strength to talk about their tribulations and become testimonies on how to undergo divorce in the body of God!

I am sadden by Paula’s divorce, but I comprehend that sometimes people who join in the union of marriage realize that they no longer share the same love as they once did. If there is adultery involved, this is for God to judge and not a fellow human being (Deuteronomy 32: 36)! My prayers go out to Randy and Paula White.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention- Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/HD), is a Neurological Behavioral Disorder that effect the nervous system as well as the cognitive part of the brain.

Noticing the disease (ADD/HD) in your child is essential. Parents must improve the odds of their child's achievements in life and getting the proper diagnoses for their mental health issues is the key. As children began to grow and develop an personality, this is where children start to show indication of mental or physical illness.

Therefore, If you recognize a sudden change in your child's mood or behavior, and he/she feels depressed, anxious, angry or belligerent, seek professional help immediately. Don't brush off your child's action as simply being normal conduct because this disease will worsen over time and (ADD/HD)will follow your child throughout their adult life. We as parents, owe it to our children to provide the best health options available. Parents, if you're not familiar with (ADD/HD)symptoms and if you struggle with pointing out these medical condition in your child here's some examples:

Symptoms:

*Hyperactivity- When he/she may be feeling fidget, physical discomfort or demonstrates over activeness, such as excessive running and talking. Checking for these signs of negative emotional reaction, negative impulsive behavior and a short memory span is vital in gaining intervention of (ADD/HD).

If your child has difficulty maintaining mental focus, concentration, and unresponsive to distraction and if they can't remember a conversation from yesterday, this a clear sign that you should to get help.

*Unprompted Behavior - The child is very impatience and may utter out answers not pertaining to the subject at hand or may have difficulty intrude others space. These personality issues should be carefully corrected in order to create a successful and productive child.

Risks Of Not Getting Treatment:

*Bad grades, increased in bad school behavior, and decreased in learning shills.
*Lack of attention to learning disorders, which is associated with (ADD/HD).
*Roads that may lead to substance abuse such as drugs and alcohol.

Furthermore, there are some natural treatments to help your child before you seek professional assistance.

Depression, anxiety and anger is one of the main factors concerning (ADD/HD) because at one moment your child can be feeling up and then the next down. This is very common with children suffering from (ADD/HD).

Parents if you would like to try some natural solution first; Herb Combination such as: Ginseng, Remem, Gotu Kola Plus, are all natural ingredients that will help build zest, energy, stamina, mental alertness, mental functions and reflex action.
Also, Single Herbs such as: Gyan Mudra, California Poppy, Scullcap, Siberian Ginseng, Korean Ginseng, Lobelia, Gotu Kola, Bee Pollen and Cayenne will help aid the problem as well.

All of these Herbs will help with the symptoms caused by (ADD/HD).

Furthermore, if these natural remedies doesn't help your child agonizing disease; you must seek professional help and guidance in-order to gain control of this disease.

When selecting a Physician, who will provide medication for your child, there are a few criteria and questions that should be asked.

(1) Ask if his/her Psychiatric Training succeeds four years of medical school and if their training includes medicine, neurology, and a broad- spectrum on (ADD/HD).
(2) Questions:

*Ask what medication best suits your child.
*Has the medication been healthy and helpful to other children.
*Will the medication work right away.
*What instructions are needed to take the medication and will it be easy to apply the dosage.
*What if I miss a day, due to he/she feeling groggy.
*What are the side effects of taking the medication.
*How addicting is the medication.
*How well does the medication interact with other medication.
*Is there a prolonged intake to this medication.
*Do I have the authority to stop my child from taking this medication.

Moreover, when agreeing to any form of medication, please stay away from Side Effects such as: Dizziness, Blurred Vision, Restlessness and Sedation. For school children, I would recommend selecting a medication that last no longer than 3-6 hours because this will allow you to see your child's true personality when they get home from school. In my opinion, this will better the communication between you and their doctor.

In conclusion,(ADD/HD) is a fact of life for some children, but hopefully these methods will help on improving your child's disease. Parents if you get your child involved in group therapies session with others children, who are going through the same battles of (ADD/HD)this will be helpful as well. There are many organization who help children who suffer from (ADD/HD).

Disllusionment with Children growing up

Children are a beautiful sculpture sent by God to parents for us to input wisdom of difficult life experiences to help guide them in life. The disillusionment that parents encounter with raising children, in my opinion, is that we think our children will embrace the lessons taught by us and that they will apply them in their lives. Us as parent must realize that our children are individuals who will follow their minds and not necessarily the path we taught them to walk on.

I've received advice from several of older people, concerning their beliefs that children follow what you do and not what you say and vise versa. This advise left me confused, because I really wanted to raise a child that was going to be a contribute to this cold world in a Godly way. As a result of my confusion, I turned to the bible for examples to teach me as well as my child. The bible was and is, a good method to use because it has so many moral illustration for all humans to learn from.

Disillusion can come in many forms with our expectation of raising children.

However, I found out through years of learning and teaching that children will have so many different influences to where it's hard to make your influence in their lives top priority. My advise to parents is to sell yourself as a marking tool to your child. Find something that you're good at and pitch it; brag on how great you are, how smart you are, and how your since of style expresses character of maturity. Trust me, if you don't promote yourself on being the apple of their eye, someone else will.

Warning, you don't want your child valuing someone's opinion over yours because you don't know whether that influence will be good or bad. Now, for the parents who have achieved this task successfully and your child looks to you as the greatest invention since slice bread, I applaud you!

Raising children can be frustrating and one of the most hardest occupation a human being will face in their life time. The ideal of children following this well mapped out life expectancy that us as parents provide for them is very disappointing, when they unknowingly allow others to lead them astray. This world has some many malicious people that will try to mislead your child in a different direction just to spite their achievements. Building a foundation of love and creating a strong character for your child is essential.

Parents must defend their child against the disillusionments of this world in hopes that the evil one doesn't overtake and destroy them as he has done to so many others. Living in this diverse universe, it all boils down to people either being "Doers" and "Receivers". Doers are the people who are well aware of their evil deeds and they intently go around harming others. Receivers are the people who get tricked by their hateful but, fabricated as loving snares. Parents, you must input in your child to be a receiver who fight against persuasions of doing wrong.

All in all, parent don't give up hope on your child, if you one day realized that some of your expectation as turned into disillusionments. We as parents must eventually learn to separate our children's path in life from our leadership. Martin Luther King Jr. : "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in the moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy". Disillusion equals undermined identity which can turn into awakened prosperity.

You're Someone

“You’re Someone”

The Creator of Creation.
How beautiful to carry a living breathing human in your womb.
To nurture and help them grow is your only motivation.
How appreciated is the love you give,
Spilling over into building a wonderful adult.
You're Strong!

If not for you, what would the future of generation hold.
Your discipline is sometimes rejected;
But in later years always respected.
You're Wise!

The colors of the rainbow are so alluring.
Just like the colors of your heart shining through.
Your grace guides the family with ease.
Thanks for your caressing caring hands.
Thanks for your prayers of protection.
You're Beautiful!

To be cherished is in the eye of the beholder.
The aroma of lilies in a field on a breezy summer day;
Resembles the affection you give, dear sweet lady.
Your presence is as high as a mountain top;
Your personality brightens our lives.
You're Someone!

Fallen Angel

Fallen Angels come;
in all colors, shapes and sizes.
Often falling to deep letting;
the world the best of them.
Hurt is painful to bare.
Staring into space;
wondering if there’ s a better place.
Trying to erase all bad memories.

Noticing struggle more and more each day.
Building frustration sliding into hell’s gate.
Want to escape, but psyche don’t know how.
Prayers weakling, fading into none existence.
Constantly thinking remembering not one ;
devoted prayer to God has been answered.

Can one do too many things and pleas go empty?
If God heard His child crying would He help?
If God saw His child deteriorating would He care?
Heavenly Blue Oasis an fantasy or an old folk Tail?

Can’t take this torture anymore.
Can’t take obstacles ruining dreams.
Can’t take helpless, defeated, mentalities.
Can’t take weakened crying self- esteems.

God didn’t answer.

Must take matters of;
the world into own hands.
Paper in left hand;
Pen in right hand.
Calling all poets;
time to unite!
Anger- Sorrow;
Disbelief- Mayhem.
Noted throughout;
near and distant lands.


Ready to walked through the door fighting injustice.
Suddenly, a voice from Heaven sounding stern as poets;
“Hello My Child”, “It’s about time you stop complaining”.
“I’ve been waiting on you to take the first step”.
“For you, I have so much in-store, it‘s not to late“.
“All you had to do is open the door to The Gate”.

Female And Male

“Female and Male”

The flower that withers away day by day.

It holds onto any moister it can, draining the soil, pleading to the stem for nourishment.

The flower is slowly losing its color and stance.

As the sun shines, the heat is sometimes hard to endure.

Second by second- minute by minute- hour by hour, it welcomes the strain.

Because the flower comprehends that any strain in a relationship makes it stronger.

And when the clouds can no longer hold its peace; the rain falls on the earth as a sign of interaction and growth.

I am that pedal that's wanting your touch of drops.

So, lets enjoy the rain.

Can we grow again!

Self Management

Building ones character starts with self management. Eventually, God holds every spirit responsible for their life. He has giving us many tools to help guide us in the right way. The bible is Gods number one joy because it holds every right and wrong decision human being every made. Also, the scripture holds God’s opinion on every deed his creation experienced.

Lets take a moment to reflect on Joshua in The Old Testament. After Moses purpose was fulfilled God chose Joshua to continue to teach and lead His people in the right direction. The Israelites were definitely infants in thought ,they needed to recondition their minds in harmony with the life style and action that represented God.

Therefore, it is very important to self intervene early in life in order to gain self management, other wise the odds will be stack against you. Survival is hard in the real world because each person must have the proper training to make promotion of any kind. No matter what stages a person is in, it's never to late to intervene and apply God's way of life. It is our duty to help build our character of self management and to create a strong human being who will be able to handle countless disappointments in life.

Children are the rawest form of God, the ability to transmit self management is very easy. For instance, kids are a blank sheet of paper just waiting for their pages to be filled. Parents, can create different situation for their children to test their ability on how well they can handle all kinds of disappointments that life will throw at them.

Parents, explain to your children that you would like to apply some essential life's lessons that will equip them to deal with life’s curve balls. You can apply these lessons in a game like format because it will create a fun learning environment. Children are often honest in their emotion and show how they are feeling.

Moreover, if your child can't handle not always getting what he/she want and show signs of problems with not being in the spot light at all times and have problems with respecting others, this can be an early sign of correcting self management. Noticing these characteristic will let you know what correction management your child need in order to better their odds of becoming well rounded adults and leaders. Hopefully, this will carry them throughout life and help them remain loyal Christian in a society that don't often represent the behavior that Jesus Christ displayed.

Building self management in our youth need to be taught by experience concerning their action and emotions. Sometimes teenagers can be unaware of how their words can damage each other and they are easy to be provoked without thinking. It is important for them to be taught how not to let their anger get the best of them and not to take revenge into their own hands. Teens, need to partake in community and charitable work that involve Christian’s behavior being display at all times. This type of demonstration connects emotional attachments which leads to breaking down and building up character. Teenagers need to be taught how to deal with others without flying off the handle when things are said or done that they don't like.

Lets take a moment to reflect on Samuel in the Old Testament, he was chosen to minister before the Lord, even though he was a lade. Samuel's early lessons in life displayed self management on how to be a living witness for God, he remained a faithful leader that played a vital roll in establishing God's kingdom.

Our youth must grow up with God's words embedded in their hearts, so that they can be a positive citizen of social order. Engaging with each others in the public will ultimately benefit them in their place of work , family, relationship and clergyman ship. Listening to their ups and downs will let you know what they need help with when it comes to dealing with the real world. This will definitely build self worth and a well managed individual.

Adults need less involvement with the real world and more self evaluation management. We all know that the work place can be a bit of a challenge trying to provide for your family while dealing with co- workers, who may not be as polite as you want them to be. Sometimes there can be so much mayhem in our lives, that the only way to stop ourselves from flying off the handle is to apply self management and resist a uncomfortable boiling argument.

Our homes should be a place where we can rest and unload our problems to help build self management to face the world another day. Many adults have situation that stem from their childhood that have not been resolved. Adults often need the most help with self management because they often have a lot of bad residue collected over the years. We desperately need to figure out our problems and learn how to get back on course of achieving organization in our lives. Action and reaction plays a big part with adults, since they don't have to answer to anyone, the level of discipline is sometimes hard to contain. Managing our emotion when it comes to daily conversations, will reinforce how it's okay to have a difference of opinion without developing hate towards one another.

Stereotyping also needs to be apart of self management because it can lead to negativity being past on from generation to generation. Correction of ones self should be a daily ritual like washing our face because it will instantly release a happier person who will be better equipped to serve God Almighty and to input positively in our society. Adults lessons have to be about a renewing of the mind as well as how to manage an ungodly world. It is important to attack our root which is our mind and to tear limb from limb the refurbishing and rethinking of our thoughts, so that we can enhance self management.

All in all, people can use these kinds of mind provoking techniques to expand various self management benefits. Eventually, every one has to learn that in order to receive God's blessing we must dig deep into our soul and pull out the best. God is very gracious and he allows his creation the ability to make mistakes in hopes that we learn from them ( 1 Peter 1: 6-7). The human race have to train themselves to fight the enemy who often tries to destroy our self worth! Children is our generation, the youth is our future and adults is the example of leadership and change.

Let Me Be Your WOMAN

I can see it in your eyes
your not telling me the truth.

Bits and pieces of the story
to win my glory and praise.

I must admit you had me in a daze
for a while.

It took years to finally
make it through the maze.

Now, I understand your plan.

I once heard you say
I like them young- cute and lame
cause a brother like you got plenty of game.

Well, I'm young, I'm cute, lame?
those shoes don't fit me.

I'm caught up to your slang, you'll see!

I might not have a college degree
but common sense comes naturally.

Would it hurt you to take a minute
or two to sit down and listen.

I understand that you're the man
that has the stronger hand, but
I am woman if we work together
we can reach the promise land
"While on Earth".

Lets give birth to the old way of thinking
and start with the new you believe in me
and I believe in you.

I might be right sometimes
listen you might find.

So, glance my way and give me a chance.

I don't want to be the man
just your right hand!

Sincerely,
WOMAN
