Dear James,

       I would ask how are you doing, but from past conversations I know you are still lost. I can only pray you open your eyes, clear your mind, so you free the pain in your heart.

         I know we cannot help who we love, but we must know what love is in order for this feeling to be real. Love is the strongest feeling us humans have and it can be a joyous feeling or be used as a weapon? How are you using it or how is it being used on you.

     You have been playing this broken record for over twenty-five years. Once you could hear music a sweet sound you could close your eyes and replay the words over and over. A smile forming on your  inside as well as outside for the world to see. 

   A record can play a lifetime, (well as long as you have a record player – for some reason in this age 2019 some kids do not know what I record is? I sometimes miss the 80’s) but without proper care it scratched.  I’ve known some people who could mend a scratch, but if it’s so deep its time to throw it away.

  I can see you shaking your head as you read my letter and even hear you say, “this is my life and not some dumb record,” and I understand when your emotions are so high that you cannot see through the clouds. Then that’s when you start calling out for help, but it’s still your choice if you accept that help.

         There was a time when we didn’t talk, not because of time zones, but because you didn’t like my answers. I wasn’t the only ones who saw those clouds turning black and tried to warn you before the storm came.

        It is true that not everyone will like everyone, and sometimes their feelings for you overrides  the new face in the picture, but then if more than a handful of people are telling you to run?       

           It’s time you look at this relationship in a different way. This what I did and I know it works because I am truly smiling today. Here is some homework for you: 

1.  Write down everything you like about women. (A man for me)          2.  Write down everything you don’t like in a. women.      (A man for me)       3.  Write down what you want in a relationship.                                         4.  Write down what u believe a  relationship should be.                 5.  Where do you see yourself in twenty years?

        One has to know one’s self worth and   Love themselves to be worthy of another person.  After you have made a list of at least 5 or more answers to each question. Then ask yourself if you and your friend matches your answers.

         I am alone by choice, because I Will not let anyone play games with my feelings or my person. Once I got closer to Jesus I realized I want a Real man. I believe in order for you to find a real woman who wants u & not your $$$ u have to get right yourself.

         It’s hard, but who said life would be easy. Nothing worth having is going to be less then a fight, but is that fight worth having.

~And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.

Jeremiah 21:5 KJV

          My mind is so much clearer and I can see. I watch other couples and some I agree with and others I say, “that works for them yeah,” but that’s not me. Looking and learning from different married couples made me realize I am worth something real. My question for you is how come you don’t?

          Sorry if u don’t agree, but that was and is my truth. Be safe, get into the Word (I’ll send it 2 u 2 download on your phone) and enjoy your weekend. I’m using the Bible App by YouVersion.com. Download it now for your mobile device. https://j794q.app.goo.gl/i/1Fijr

       The best thing about this app all you have to do is put in how you are feeling and it will give you scriptures. It also have reading plans and makes it easy to understand and share. One can’t keep His love to themselves it MUST be shared. 

       I am going to end this here and truth be told I don’t want you to tell me anymore of your problems on this subject, because you are not listening. Life to too short for needless drama. My pressure will not be raised by it, I have enough on my side. The difference is I have a high force backing me and I am not worried.

~The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
