As the world turns, things are beginning to repeat
Light-skinned vs dark-skinned is back on the block
I thought growing up in the 70's was the end
But unfortunately the devil has shown his head again
Words are being tossed all in the media
Our younger generation can't finish one mission without negative
Interruptions overshadowing their dreams
Light-skinned vs dark-skinned shouldn't be, blame it on the men
Blame it on us women for falling into the model media scheme
And wishing to be like the air-brushed faces, bodies and images
I quite frankly am loving Me in my dark-skinned temple
Whatever color I put on this fully grown temple compliments Me
My skin-coca chocolate full figure hips brings the colors alive
Why should I question my BEAUTY when I make the SUNSHINE smile
It's not my fault that my so-called brothers can't appreciate this coca chocolate bar
I walk with confidence because GOD has named me a Star
So the next time you see a colored woman in your path
Don't be quick to turn your lips
Because it just maybe that same colored woman
That saves you before you make a painful slip
Beauty Is Skin Deep!!

Would I be called selfish because I sealed my heart to love again
Would I be called selfish because I now choose to stay to myself
Would I be called selfish because I now refuse to share my wisdom and knowledge
Would I be called selfish because I pulled out of a false friendship of another's deception
Would I be called selfish because I hear from God without going into the building many call Church
Would I be called selfish because I recognize ones tricks and I turn away
Would I be called selfish because I love myself enough not to be hurt again by ones broken words and promises
Would I be called selfish because I picked up ones bad habit of being selfish
I am just asking because I read somewhere God is against SELFISHNESS
But we call ourselves CHRISTIANS a.k.a. CHRIST-LIKE
Living with the forbidden characteristics of SELFISH!!!

You bruised my heart again....
I sit and wonder your true motives from within
You wear your heart with a covering
Only releasing enough to receive deposits
Deposits of my agape love and planted good seeds
Bruising me when I deliver my blossomed seeds
Minimal attention is shown
A second of a smile
Then the LIGHT goes DIM
I asked God if he is sure you're the man he chose for ME
De ja u' I feel all over again
I extend my heart and keep my word
Only to be bruised again and banaged by the Word
Called " THANKS!"

I am told a man should not be alone
But rejects the woman that brings greatness
I am told that man can't live by bread alone
But when fed with spiritual food he refuses it
I am told when a man finds a wife he finds a good thing
But he turns around and misuse her
I am told that no man is perfect then,
Why when one ask for understanding they're criticized
I am told that false prophets will come
But when exposed they try to make you feel guilty
What I have learned from many storytellers is this....
One has to walk in Faith and by the Spirit
Because mankind will make you feel like a Convenient Store
They come to you at their own Convenience!
Hey, That's What They Say......

I was saying yes I can before hope became popular
Before hope became popular I stood up for what was right
Right now we're in a worldwide crisis
Crys~is (Crisis) that the good vs the bad
Bad money vs poor education
Poor education vs poor leadership
Leader~ship is drowning because of tainted media
Media please pardon me for still hoping and standing for our children Rights
Rights of saying yes we can if we don't focus towards the money
Money can make a change but I rather my hands grab a needle and thread
Sow our community back into a village of Hope...Remember I STILL HAVE HOPE...

I SHED A TEAR for the pain that I feel
Me seeing my family and friends still living in fear
Lips speak of having Faith and Gods' word near
But their actions holds no truth nor strength
So I lay silently here in the dark and pray for them as they sleep
I can only do and be whom GOD has created me to be
I SHED A TEAR for the healing to begin
I am the Chosen One selected to stand between them and sin

increase a better relationship with your Creator?
make you a perfect man or woman?
convince you to love someone unconditionally?
make you admit to your flaws?
get you into the gate of Heaven?
keep you warm when your electricity is cut off?
keep you from losing your home to foreclosure?
wipe your tears away when you're feeling down and out?
cure you of your illness of mental, spiritual or physical pain?
make a withdrawal from the bank where you paid your tuition?
No Degree is worth ones personal Salvation nor Self-Worth! That Degree with your name represents the time and money you put into your dreams and for some other people expections. No Degree makes one person better than the next ~ When was the last time you checked your Temperature???

.....ERR.....HERE COMES A CURVE.. " LIFE " By Tonya E. (original written 12.14.08)
Have you ever noticed while driving or even a passenger in a car that the road looks straight? Have you ever noticed that even when you're about to approach that curve the road still looks to be straight? Have you ever noticed the roads you travel daily are buillt and structured just like LIFE?
Just in case you never really gave it any thought ~ let me the first to introduce you to your journey of roadblocks. Everyone goes through life with decision making, goals incorporated with big dreams, and visions of being the next millionaire. Many of times one is not prepared to endure the curves that are setup to steer you out of your lane or steer you towards your next destination safe and sound. See, each individual person has a road to travel and it's not always straight. One has to become mature in their spirits, minds and souls to understand and take full charge of their steering wheel called " LIFE! "
Life is made up of many ingredients which you can't list them all on the back of your seasoning bottles. However, you can sprinkle a little of this and add a little of that, but know that the measurements has to be right. You must be sure you have added the right people, places and things at their rightful SEASON. When you decide to do things your way without the RIGHT ingredients your roads will become curvy and LIFE will become complicated!
So before you get on the road to travel be sure you have your seatbelt on and your hands on the wheel. Being confident and comfortable in your LIFE will make all the curves much easier to handle. You will reach your destination safe and sound because all along you had the GREATEST INSTRUCTOR ~ Our Heavenly FATHER!

Just when you thought you did a top to bottom clean out of your house (temple). Whew I thought I was thoroughly cleaned out with past drama, past pain and past wounds. I was so much wrong and I must say that I am so grateful to have someone special in my life to open up to and allow the little girl in me CRY!
C.R.Y. (Cleansings Residue Yeah!), lol..I am filled with laughter however I will be serious from this point on.. See, recently I have been blessed to crossed path with a man that is TRULY GOD SENT! I must note it has NOT been an EASY road, however I will say that this is a man that I have prayed for and able to stand up to and stand firm with through the STORMS we have encountered in our spiritual realms. Okay don't get lost on me now. I will make it very clear.. We can read our Bible, go to church, preach to the choir and claim to be all together. However, if we don't have one person to speak life back into our spirits after making deposits to others, we will grow weak and become our own worst enemy. As much as I am an Npdendent Woman I too fall short and become under attack of my past trauma too. I thought after being out of a relationship with a man, me getting in line and building my personal relationship with my Heavenly Father, I just knew I had it together. Whew.. I had it together alright, for a season until God planted a Good Man in my path that was ORDAINED and I halfwayed received HIM!
Well, let me just say that the little girl came out the other day and I opened up to my ORDAINED MAN! I never in any of my past relationship felt so comfortable and safe to let go! When I look at my ORDAINED MAN I see LIGHT when he is talking with me and pulling my coat-tail! I don't see a man attempting to attack me spiritually, verbally nor physically. I witness a man that truly has laid down his own flaws and past trauma to me. As he spoke I felt as if I was looking in a mirror at myself. I teared and later cried,however I later in the day realized that the little girl in me was talking to the little boy in him. It's seemed to me to be a bit crazy for a second, however after asking him if it sounds strange to him, his response was just as Jesus would have responded, calm, cool and collective.
Today, I am truly bless to be loved, in love and trust in man to love me. Today, Dec. 25.2008 I don't have any LEFTOVER RESIDUE, I SIMPLY AM OPENED TO RECEIVE WHAT I HAVE PRAYED FOR AND THAT IS EARTHLY LOVE!
So if you have any leftover residue in your inner man that keeps you from recieving what God has for you, please I PLEAD with you to not look at the FLESH of a person however Stop, Look and Listen for the still voice that comes from that person. If their LIGHT (Living In God's Hands Today) is Bright then stay, however if their Presence is DARK (Deceiving All Righteous Knowledge) then RUN FAST to the CLOSEST EXIT!
I speak from experience and know that I am an Open Book.....Be on the look out for my Open Book (Untitled) coming soon!!!!! 2009 will be such a UNFORGETTABLE YEAR because I no longer have any LEFTOVER RESIDUE!!!
Much love and blessings to All
Respect Given Always,
Your Ndpendent Woman
