Now, truth be told, I am not as much of a holy roller as some may think I should be, but I do love the Lord and talk to him often. Though I strive everyday to strengthen my relationship with Christ and strut fabulously down the path that he’s created for me, I’d be lying if I said that I havent faltered. It’s also a stretch to say that I have never gotten so caught up in my own foolishness that I’ve forgettten to pray, read the word and most importantly say “thank you”. I’ve gotten better, but it’s still something that I have to make an effort to remember. I have to remind myself that this life is not all about me. I am here for a greater purpose and just like everything and everyone else in life, I don’t have forever. Six years ago, I had an awesome discussion with the man upstairs while driving somewhere and ’til this day, it sticks with me. When I wrote and posted the conversation, only about 20 folks viewed it. Seeing as our viewership is in the high hundreds daily these days, I am confident that this post will bless someone, somewhere this Good Friday. Enjoy and until next time, stay gorgeous dolls!

I have been getting a “word”, if you will, for the past month now and I think it’s time to get it out. Now I’m no sanctimoniuos, walk on water, holy ghost filled, “shebrrroughtahonda ha ha!” type a christian. But, I am a beleiver AND I am trying my best to follow Christ as best I can. With that said, me and the man upstairs have a rapport ya know? And he talks to me ALL the time. Lately he’s been saying the same thing though. So, Imma give yall the convo the best way I know how ok?
Jesus: How have you thanked me today?
Taneica: *in my smart alek “duh Lord” kinda way* Um, well I prayed, surely you heard my prayer this morning right? ‘thank you for waking me up this morning and clothing me in my right mind blahze blahze blah blah blah’…I did thank you!”
Jesus: Yea…I heard you say thank you, but how have you thanked me today?
Taneica: JC, is this one of your parables that youre trynna come at me with? Because I dont really understand parables in a quickness too often…and-
Jesus: Ok kid, lemme put it to you like this: Bookoo doesnt have a soul. When Bookoo dies (and he will Taneica…Taneica stop choking up, he’s happy and healthy now), he is not going to “birdy heaven”, or to the dissapointment of most of your friends who dont like the bird “birdy hell”. But, do you notice as soon as the sun comes up 6:30 ish or 7, he’s singing? So much so that you have to scream at him to shut up? His squaking is music and praise to my ears. He is thanking me for making him. Not through words, but through his ACTIONS.
Taneica:…should I just let him sing then?
Jesus: That would be nice Taneica, but are you understanding what I’m asking you now?
Taneica: Yes…I’ve been slacking up huh?
Jesus: That’s why were chatting right now, yes. So whatcha gonna do to make it up to me?
Taneica: I’ll understand more and judge less. I’ll give more and take less. I’ll love more and hate less. I’ll pay tithes regularly. It doesnt have to be to a church, but can be to help someone in need. I could stand to Curse less too. I will continue to smile and tell people how much you rock and stuff! How am I doing JC?
Jesus: You’re doing just fine kiddo, I put a good heart in you and a radiant spirit. Thank me by sharing both with as many people as you can. Drop my name into converstaions a little more. I love you Taneica and you’re some of my best work
Taneica: *grinning* wow! thanks! I love you too!
Jesus: and by the way, I’m God I don’t “rock”
Now, that was my little chat with Jesus. I’m sharing it with yall because it was laid on my heart to do so. I hope it makes someone’s day out there! God Bless! Till Next time!
I’m 29 and reside in Illinois with my gorgeous husband Jeff, our two dogs Lucky and Spartacus and my bird Bookoo. I love designer shoes, stylish clothes with interesting details, my family and my man….not in that order necessarily :-). I am currently writing a self help book and would like to have my very own talk show some day (step aside Tyra Banks). I am very feisty and impatient, but I love life and the people God has sent across my path…even if I don’t like them all the time. I work part time as an After School Care teacher for a local family recreation facility. I also coach cheerleading on the side. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my clothes, my hair, or whatever!
How Have You Thanked Me Lately?
