Strong Black Men

Strong Black Men look at them, they are everywhere
Doing things that were impossible to them in the yester-year.
They are Doctors, Teachers, Leaders and family men,
Are you not proud of them?
We must salute them because black men came from afar,
From the slashes of the whip, being spat at, and having to pave the
road barefeet with the hot tar.
Thank you Strong Black men for bringing us this far.

Feel Me

Fantasies going through her head.
Thoughts of you loving her is all she ever said.
have you ever thought of her, or are you too cool 
you tried to play her like a fool.
Sometimes she don't eat or sleep, 
All she does is talk of you constantly.
Have you ever noticed her noticing you?
She wants you to feel her
She wants you to touch her.
She wants you to love her
Please give her just one chance,
It don't have to be a romance.
Just a friendly conversation,
To ease her frustration.
You feel me?

Thoughts

     Hello everybody my name is Shavonne Mckinney. I started this blog to share my thoughts and I want to hear from other people how they view certain situations that occurs in their lives. This is a conversation I had with GOD  today:

     Dear LORD I present my son and myself to you.  I acknowledge that I am a sinner and not worthy of your love, but you love me anyway.  So I thank you for that.  I confess my sins to you,  because you said in your words that "If I confess my sins to you, you are just and able to forgive me." So LORD please forgive me for doing the things I sometimes do, knowing that it's wrong, but I do it anyway. I sometimes judge people, or think  I am better than other human beings.  I secretly, want to mutilate the person that cause me pain whether emotionally or mentally.  JEHOVAH GOD have mercy upon my poor wretched soul. Cleanse my inner being LORD so that my light will shine and everyone will see your work being manifest in my life. Create in me a clean heart and continuously renew my mind because being a human I will always fall short of your glory.

     Dear GOD open the ears of my soul so that I can hear you to be obedient to what you are saying to me.  Because if I can't hear you, how can I understand or respond to you.  Open my inner eyes so that I
can see the blessings and directions you want me to take.  Order my steps, so that I can go to where you want me to go, and not be at the wrong place.  Teach me how to live in the will and ways of the pattern you ordained for my life. I pray that you would show me how to be a better person, a more forgiving, humble, patient and most of all, how to be true to myself.  I realized if am not true to myself, how can I  love or be true to anybody else.  I also realized if I can't show charity to the people in this earth, how can I be true to you.  If I can't forgive and forget the things people did to me, how can I want you to forgive me.  I need plenty work in this category.   I don't pray for earthly riches LORD, because I realized they come and go.  So I pray for you to enrich my soul and whatever you want me and my son to have, while we're down here.  We thank you for it.  I thank you for this second, minute this hour, this day, this month and this year.  I thank you for blessing me with a child even though he was conceived without marriage.  I thank you for this room, my bed, the clothing and the food you provide for us.  This house, the other people that live in the house with me.  Please forgive them and help them LORD.  Thank you for the water, the fridge and the stove, the television, the electricity in the house.  The trees, the birds that wake us up every morning with their singing.  Thank you for allowing my son and I, to be in this country.  Thank you for the school he attends.  Thank you for the wisdom you bestow on me to teach my son to be a smart child.  Help me to raise and mold him into a strong wise man.  LORD thank you for the people I've met.  The good and the bad ones, they caused me to have a better look on life, they broaden my experiences.  I ask you to bless everyone that allowed you to use them to bless me.  I thank you for giving me words of encouragement, scolding and instructions through the people I've encountered.  It sometimes feel like you're not listening to me, but for some reason you're always at my rescue in the nick of time.  I don't know what I'll do without you LORD. Thank you. Amen
