Daily Devotional – 12/1/15 “Get out of your own way!”

The Thanksgiving holiday has come and gone … are you still thankful? I mean it’s a new month, are you still singing the same song from last month? Do you still have the ‘Why me’ lyrics on repeat? Are you still dancing to ‘I wish’ theme song? Are you still hanging around with the same ‘if I were you’ crowd? Still going to the ‘I ain’t going there anymore’ places? Still saying, ‘God knows my heart’ to negate the fact that your heart isn’t right? Still telling folk, ‘I got up on the wrong side of the bed’ to account for your jacked up attitude? Are you still blaming ‘the man’ for you not getting out? Are you still mad at the Pastor for trying to bring worship into this century? Still blaming momma or daddy for not bailing you out for the thousandth time? Still casting blame on society for your misfortune? It’s still your baby momma’s fault that you’re a dead beat dad, ain’t it? Still baby daddy fault for you getting pregnant, again huh?

Ma’am, sir; grow up! Puh-lease! Look here, I know folk are always preaching on what you need to do to get to Heaven but baby, you need to realize that what you’re doing NOW isn’t working, for you, down here. You need to understand that the mistakes you continually make need to stop. You need to get that throwing the pity party is old and worn out. You need to realize that wallowing in self-made sorrow doesn’t look good on you. You need to get up AND then get out of your mess. You got laid off six months ago and you’re still looking for work; keep looking. Spouse left you, three years ago, get over it and move on; they have. Your car was repossessed; house foreclosed on; ok, what now? What are you going to do about it? The bible says in Proverbs 16:8-9, “Better to have little, with godliness, than to be rich and dishonest. We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps.” Stop worrying about folk; they’ll sometimes find wrong in your right. Do what pleases God and He’ll do what pleases you. Get out of your own way!

Proverbs 16:7, “When people’s lives please the LORD, even their enemies are at peace with them.”

Are you ready? Are you as excited as I am?

Didn’t your mother teach you that actions have consequences?

For Camille, her dream job has landed in her lap but it has come at the worst possible time in her life. Her already shaky marriage is crumbling before her eyes and she has to decide whether it’s worth saving. Add in her husband’s pregnant side chick and all the skeletons in her closet that are starting to peek out, she may be in over her head!

After accepting her new position, she’s looking to celebrate a silver lining in the chaos of her life but karma comes knocking, HARD. On the night of her party, she comes face to face with a gun and the last person she’d ever expect to be holding it. Now she has to get out, alive, without alerting the media and the ballroom full of people waiting downstairs?

She thought she could handle all the scandalous secrets she’d been hiding but when they all start coming out at once, she quickly realizes she’s dead wrong. Therapy hasn’t helped yet but will an unexpected death open her blinded eyes? Or will it be too late? Has her actions left her with more consequences than she can conquer or can she survive with her mind, marriage and career intact?

Daily Devotional – 11/30/15 “Whatcha looking like inside?”

Your body may be snatched, your face beat with the latest makeup while walking in the highest heels and chile your hair is relaxed, dyed and laid to the side. You may even look good in your suit, tie matches it just right, shoes on fleek and your haircut and line is perfect … but Saint of God if your soul isn’t right, you ain’t worth the effort you put into it! Like my Grams say, you ain’t worth a penny! Yea, you can outdo me with the latest fashions, wear nicer jewelry or carry around the most up to date electronics but it won’t change the fact that our caskets will be the same shape. Yea, you may think you are better than me but our grave will be dug the same, six feet deep. Yes, I get it; you can probably recite more scriptures than me by memory but if my memory serves me right, you aren’t living by them. So what if you’ve been at the church longer than anybody, what other purpose are you serving other than mess and gossip? Oh, I know you’re blessed and highly favored but are you approachable? I heard you were anointed but do your words match? I see you at church every Sunday but how’s your living outside of the doors?

Saint of God, the worst thing you can be to the Kingdom of God is a fake. Being dressed up on the outside but tore up on the inside is like spraying air freshener in an unclean garbage can. When the mist fades, it’ll still be dirty, funky and unusable. When will you clean up the mess instead of covering it? Beloved, God doesn’t care about your clothes, house size, the kind of car you drive or the money in your account for the bible tells me in Jeremiah 17:10, “But I, the LORD, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.” If you aren’t getting what you think you deserve, search inwardly. Baby, you can give to every homeless person you pass, you can feed every stray cat or dog, you can help out during the holidays or even volunteer once or twice but if you aren’t doing it from a genuine place in your heart and mind; it’s all for nothing anyway. Fix yourself on the inside because it is what matters!

1 Peter 3:3-4, “Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Shannon. You’ve answered everything for me. Here’s my card. Since she named you as her next of kin, you will need to come down to formally identify her.”
“When?”
“Tomorrow morning. You can go down to the morgue. Here’s the information. Again, you have my condolences on the loss of your friend.”
Thomas walks them out as I sit on the couch in disbelief.
“Babe,” he says walking back into the room.
“Why didn’t she ask me for help?”
Pulling me into him, he wraps me in his arms. “This was her battle to fight and she decided how it would end. She told you not to blame yourself. Don’t do it.”
“I know but—”
“Just grieve for her. Don’t try to figure out the why, just mourn her.”
“It hurts so bad. It feels like there’s a ton of weight on my chest,” I say, trying to catch my breath.
“Breathe babe. Come on Camille, calm down. Look at me.” He takes my face in his hand. “Breathe.”
“It. Hurts. So. Bad.”
“I know, babe, and it’s going to hurt for a long time. She was your sister, a part of you, but you can’t make yourself sick.”
“She’s. Gone.”
“I know.”
He lays my head down on his leg and rubs my back as I cry for my friend.

Excerpt 2 from Ms. Nice Nasty 2 (Rated R Content)

Pulling up to the room number Charles texted, I reply with a text for him to open the door. I get out the car, almost running, wearing stilettos and a maxi dress with nothing underneath.

He opens the door to let me in and quickly closes it behind me before locking it.

“Hey,” I say walking into his arms where our lips lock and my tongue finds his.

“Hmm,” he moans when he finally lets go. “You smell so damn good.”

“I taste even better,” I smile as I walk away from him, pulling my dress over my head.

He laughs. “Only you would come out the house with basically nothing on but heels.”

“Putting all that on is wasted time, don’t you think?” I ask as I turn my back to him and rub my hand over my butt.

“I’m inclined to agree.”

“Have a seat on the side of the bed,” I tell him.

He eyes me suspiciously but does what he’s told. I pull a chair in front of him and sit, placing my legs on the bed on opposite sides of him. I spread them wide enough to make sure he has a fantastic view of the show.

He moves to touch but I slap his hand. “It’s not your turn.”

I lick two of my fingers, one at a time, before rubbing them over my shaven candy box.

I smile while watching him squirm. “I enter them into me and begin to pleasure myself.”

I use the other hand to spread my lips while I continue to play with my clit.

“Hmmm, she’s so wet,” I moan to him as he watches me.

“Make her cum,” he says, licking his lips.

I spread my legs a little further and begin rubbing harder and faster.

“Mmm, ooo, ooohhhh!!” I scream while the orgasm rocks through me.

He grabs my legs and pulls me from the chair, flipping me on the bed. Working to undo his pants, he quickly steps out of them as he reaches for a condom on the table and covers his rock-hard penis with it.
