Guard Your Heart and Mind
If you can get this, this will change your life… I was out taking my morning run. I love how still it is when I’m running. I can hear clearly and really commune with God. I wanted to share this with you. It’s a lesson I had to learn.
One of the keys to success is to be able to guard your heart. Now, usually when someone says guard your heart they are talking about keeping yourself from heartbreak. Although that is important (as long as you don’t go overboard... but that’s another conversation) that isn’t what I’m talking about. When we are born into this world we enter with such a pure heart but as we grow older situations, circumstances and people tend to make us change. Now I know it is nearly impossible to keep a childlike innocence in our hearts all of our lives, especially after people have betrayed, lied, mistreated and downright been the devil. Trust me when I tell you, I have seen it all. I have been there big time. If you’re like me you’ve been there too. But if this is your situation I want you to know two very important things about those moments of heartbreak. Number one, learn the lesson in it. See how it will work together for your good, because it will. Once you do, it’s easier to forgive and move on. Secondly, and this is just as important as the first one, you must not let that person or people change your heart. What do I mean by that? Well, if you are a giver and someone you have given to misuses your gift, don’t stop giving… just give to someone else. If you are a person that loves people and someone you love hates you, don’t stop loving… love someone else. Eventually, you will find people who appreciate your kindness and your love. Remember this, lots of people have been conditioned to not be able to accept purity of heart. They can’t take it in. Most times it’s not even their fault. It’s just what has happened to them on their journey in life. But don’t let them turn you into one of them. There will be a lot of people in your life who will not appreciate your pureness of heart. If they hurt you don’t stop being you… just be you with someone else.
Why is this so important? Because God blesses you according to what is in your heart. If you are being kind, giving, loving and sharing because it is in your heart and you are not looking for anything in return, then that is a heart that God wants to bless. If you change who you are because you’ve been hurt, then you’ve changed the thing that God wants to bless you according to, and that is your heart. The people who hurt you are not worth that. You can lose everything that you have, but don’t let anybody change your heart.

It's no time soon that I'm asking to have grand children. I'm in no rush at this time. I actually feel the need to want to get out & enjoy. I wanna do that with you Tyler. Would u like to do that together? Would u like & care to do that together for the rest of our lives? :-) I can't see us doing it with anyone other than yourself. It was in 2005, when I first laid eyes on you & heard your voice. What year are we in now T? Lol! :-) Even within that time lots of things have happen. Most importantly, :-) I heard this beautiful, wisdom, handsome, greatest smile I've seen since my own father. This guys who is Tyler Perry. He prayers, he's like no other. It's you & I wouldn't mind sharing our lives with you Tyler. Only God could have done such thing/things. Only the Father! Cause I still love you. And I believe I love you even more. Will you love me/us as only I believe that you can/will? It's a joy & a happiness. :-) ...LoL... :-) Kiss & Hug. I'll put forth my best effort to love you back. And care for you & respect you & love you & cherish you & bless you & enjoy you & embrace you. And forgive me. I love you, too Tyler! LOL :-)

Good Morning Tyler, question: When u been away com Aldo, Peter, Paul & Mary for a length of time. How do our babies greet you? :-) And how do u greet each of them? Which one runs to you first? Or do they each do? What do yall do with each other when seeing each other? I ask these question with the thought in mind - you said, "they love you unconditionally." Well, with me having two sons & for all these years of not really being apart besides the holidays & summers at Paulette's house. And I would show up there cause I missed them so much. :-) Here lately, we haven't been apart like talking about it. And they both are getting up there in age. And have learned to do things on their own. Well, I'm more accepting of them doing it for themselves now. Wow! It's been 18 yrs. I'll be 40 this May. I won't say, 40 is old because I wanna live & enjoy getting older. Like meeting my/our daughter in laws & taking time with my grand kids & hopefully the first one will be a baby girl. :-) These are the type of things I prayed for during some really tough times. Stuff like this. LoL!!! :-)

Don't let anyone change your heart! Tyler, do u know I miss these post like this one from you?! You been on your move & all with your new movie #Temptation; which has been great & important information u have shared with us. How much of it, is your personal Outlook or thoughts? I wonder. Hmmmm. Tyler, are you going thru a transformation at this time? Or have u just recently come out of one? I don't know what u have been thru these last 20+ yrs in business & having to deal with ppl & or etc. However, I appreciate you! :-) And I'm so glad u are around. I don't understand why you don't talk thru just yourself though. I don't understand that. :-) Do know I have given it some thought though. Perhaps, we'll get time to discuss your facial expression & your hand gestures. LOL! I be just smh! Not in a bad way. Just I be wanting to know what's up with you! LOL! Maybe its because I been around just Tai & D'Andre so long. I would be just listening to them over all these years. D'Andre will be the one who does make noise. Tai doesn't. But it still don't mean he ain't the one in there getting D'Andre started. Tai is 18 this year & D'Andre still have many more to go being he is 12! LOL!! Lord Jesus! Would u like to have Tai & D'Andre work for you? They will. You'll just have to show them how it goes. :-) Cause I'm not working for you!! Lol... Lol.. LoL!!!!! I'm just following your butt. LOL! You are very interesting T! I'm really enjoying myself. Which it has taken up a lot of my time. LOL!! That is too funny!!! This is surely a dream come true. LOL!! What u be thinking? Do I be getting on your nerves sometime? I hope not! The truth of the matter is my sons get on my nerves but that doesn't change the fact that I love them. :-) This what I wanna know about you Tyler - are you mean or are you nice? What u say, "a little of both!" I'll let u tell/show me. I wanna know! I guess u say, "this girl wanna know everything!" LOL!!! That I do! :o !!!!! LOL... :-) ...LoL... :-)

Thank you for your heart. I have experienced two heart blows and I stopped to think what brought these experiences to me? I am learning to open my heart after years of hurt. Maybe these experiences are testing the hinges on the door. Your insight helps me to understand the scripture in Proverbs and how to move forward. Thank you Yolonda
