The adage goes "opposites attract", and in a lot of cases this scientific theory can be applied to human relations. However, in most recent times, even scientific theories have been proven not to be absolute. Opposite gender, race and personalities and so forth may attract in general. On the other hand, when regarding human compatibility we take notice that it is usually those things that are opposite that can potentially detract from the relationship, especially when it comes to principles and general mindsets.
Differences can enhance a relationship especially when those differences are strengths where the other person has challenges. If a person is impetuous, they can benefit a lot from a person who has more patience and temperance. However, when it comes to the rudimentary components of life and what people adhere to their core belief systems and standards of living, antagonism is not a match but an annoyance.
God created us in His image. Why was it necessary to create man? Perhaps, He wanted an intimate relationship, someone he could be in love with and someone who could choose to love him back. Therefore, God created a being that reflects himself because He loves himself. God is love. If you love yourself, then what better person to love and spend your life with then someone who reflects you. It would appear easier to live in harmony with such a person.
This does not mean we have to be identical, but perhaps of the same basic makeup and element. This gives weight to the adages of "iron sharpening iron" (like element) or "how can two walk together unless they agree" (mindsets, beliefs, temperaments). Since no two people are clones, where both are individually challenged, perhaps they may strengthen each other or at least be able to understand one another. Where one might lack knowledge or wherewithall, the other may balance that. When people are of different dispositions sometimes they have a difficult time empathizing with why a person thinks or acts the way he does.
When considering marriage and becoming "one" with someone, it would seem we would want someone who fits. When doing an organ transplant, a person is acquiring a vital organ from someone else and he's going to live with that organ for the rest of his life. Nonetheless, a very crucial procedure is administered before this life-saving procedure can be done, a compatibility test. Does the blood type match? The parties must have the same blood, if not, the vital organ cannot and will not thrive. Therefore, this limits who can be qualified donors.
This same logic can be applied to finding a partner or mate with whom to spend the rest of our lives. Someone who has the same "blood". Someone where the vital essence of who we are is compatible and not rejected. Someone who's mental, intellectual, spiritual and/or emotional DNA is like ours. All the other commonplaces in life like, jobs, education, hobbies and personal interests can vary, similar interests and areas of enjoyment can serve as enhancements. The person does not have to be a clone but perhaps a mere reflection. Areas where they differ, it should add and not subtract from the relationship.
If we explored this thought, then perhaps it unlocks the key as to why people "fall in love" with who they do. At whatever phases we find ourselves in our development and evolution as a people, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, we are perhaps more drawn to those who reflect us at those stages. Sometimes this is good and sometimes it is not. If you keep falling in love with a certain "type" of person, look at where you are in life and what you are emanating.
People usually keep company with like-minded people. If you see mediocrity in your life then perhaps, I can almost guarantee, you are not only surrounding yourself with mediocre people but somehow you have fallen into the snare of mediocrity yourself. Mediocrity is easily viewed in a person's life because it produces stagnation and stunts growth, it lacks the fruit of progression and ambition. Nonethless, if you know that's not who you are, you will probably fall in love with someone who you see a "true reflection" of who you see yourself as. We can love endless amounts of people but we generally don't fall in love as easily. Being in love has "staying power".
Sometimes people may say, "why do I keep attracting crazy people?" Perhaps, there's something you're emanating that says that you have toleration for crazy people or that you are crazy yourself. (smile) If you look at your dating resume and if you see common trends then perhaps that's what you're emanating or you are just following the basic scientific theory of opposites attract. If you place value on things such as education, self-improvement, family, spirituality, you will probably be attracted to people who share those values.
People, I believe, want to live in harmony. If you are not at harmony with yourself then perhaps you are attracting people of the same spirit. If you are needy perhaps you are attracting needy people. If you have an ill attitude and unrelenting baggage from your past perhaps you are attracting the same. We create most of the drama in our lives by the way we handle people and process our own emotions and thoughts.
This is not to say that "falling in love" can be put into some "absolute" irrefutable theory. We love who we love, we don't have to rationalize it or explain it. However, isn't it interesting to think that perhaps who we are "in love "with is a direct reflection of ourselves? Sometimes we can search the world to find that which is compatible to us, and when we return to our starting place, we are looking right back at ourselves. God sees his reflection in who he chose to love, us. The same can apply to husband to wife, parent to child and friend to friend. In love, we usually find ourselves and the first love is self love. That's how we survive.

Loving A Stranger
The world mourns the death of a 20th and 21st century iconographic musical and entertainment genius, Michael Jackson. Death, whether sudden or expected, is always a tough reality to accept. Nonetheless, it's an inevitable part of a gift we have called life.
There are millions who are mourning the death of a man they never met. They are crying tears around the globe and saluting him because he touched their lives. He touched their lives with his pursuit of his passion, music. When we are born, we are born with gifts and talents. Some of us have the opportunity of sharing those with hundreds, thousands or millions of people. Whatever the case, our gifts to the world are mere extensions of us. Good fruit comes good trees, yet trees do get worn and torn from the hardships of life.
There are millions right now who can say they "love" this passing icon. Why love "just an entertainer"? Why love anyone for that fact? Why love a man who had what seems so much "baggage"? It wasn't his baggage that made us dance, sing or rejoice, it was his gifts. We love just because it's God nature on the inside of us. We are made in the image and likeness of God. God is love. We don't need someone to teach us how to love, it's embedded in our spiritual DNA. We can love "strangers" because their gifts and talents have blessed us, made us happy, made us smile, sparked good memories, encouraged us during a rough episode in our lives, exhorted us past our present and gave us hope for our tomorrow.
Love isn't deep, we make it deep. Can we love flawed beings? Everyone born is flawed, our parents, teachers, ministers, friends, politicians and etc. Charisma, gifts or talents doesn't make them deities of perfection. God created flawed beings that he would love. He loves us everyday regardless of, just because. Although we may have insights to a person's vices, flaws, indiscretions, weaknesses, brokenness, or sins, doesn't mean we can't love them. Love doesn't need permission. Love says, "I know you are an imperfect being, yet and still, I can look beyond that and still say I love you."

Intuition is a Powerful Resource
Intuition is the act of knowing or sensing something without using rational processes, a sense of something deducible although not proven as fact. Intuition is discerning the truth about something without knowing the play-by-play details. In layman terms, intuition is our "gut feeling". Sometimes it's wrong but a lot of times it's right. Both men and women have it, but it seems to more denominate in those who are keen to detail and very aware of their environments. Women, by nature, are "gatherers", gathering general information (details). Men, on the other hand, are "hunters", focusing on specific information (headliners). Nonetheless, we both have the abilities to perceive and discern.
Sometimes, we allow our emotions to cloud our better judgment for various reasons. We want to see and believe the best. Nonetheless, life is a cycle of patterns and once you see a pattern being established, turn on your "amber" alert. It's time to proceed with caution. Whatever is your natural proclivity to do, put the brakes on. If you are a generous person, be circumspect about what you are giving and to whom you are giving. People don't really mean any harm but by nature are self-serving. If they see something good that can benefit them, they will jump on it. Nonetheless, this can be imprudent behavior and once a person has marred someone's opinion, it's hard to reverse.
Once we sit, watch and intake various situations and circumstances, we will learn more about people than their words and actions could ever express about them. People are living books and become easy to read the more time you spend with them. Some people are constantly processing the world through the visual. They can channel what they hear but fine tune what they see in living-color. It's almost like being able to read people's minds and motives.
Once you sense something from the onstart nip it in the bud, it's easier done in the beginning. Nonetheless, if you get in deeper and still see something is going to potentially hurt you or others, you can, with a more concerted effort, still be victorious. Never become a victim, you can have victory in every situation. Kindness is a virtue, don't let someone exploit your kindness as a weakness and then leave you full of bitterness. Intuition, I am convinced is a powerful resource and gift from God. Use it as much as possible so you can sharpen your skills. Not only will you be blessed but others in your life as well.

Fathers Are Nurturers Too!
I would like to take this opportunity to salute all fathers who are their children’s DAD. Any male with reproductive organs can procreate a child; it’s biological. That's the easiest part. Now the real work comes with fathering or what I will call "being a Dad". Dads nurture their children. The process of nurturing children is not biological. Anyone can nurture a child whether they are his offspring or not. To nurture crosses many verticals in life like social, spiritual, financial, intellectual and emotional.
Some believe that men don’t know how to nurture or are incapable. This is a misnomer. God, our Father, is the ultimate Nurturer. He created male kind with unlimited abilities that reflect His nature. To nurture by definition means: to feed and protect, to support and encourage during the period of training and development, to bring up, rearing. I am blessed with a wonderful example of a father's ability to nurture. My Dad raised me, single-handedly, from the age of 5 months old.
Although this is a rarity, there are many men who are nuturing their children and perhaps someone else's, whether they are single, married or divorced. During the month of May, never-ending showers of accolades are given to mothers everywhere for what they do and who they are in their children's lives. I am a mother of two and I thoroughly enjoy that celebratory occasion. I find it very encouraging and rewarding. Nonetheless, a mother's love is not greater than a father's love, maybe expressed differently but not superior. We all should strive to have God's kind of love, Agape. Agape love is unconditional. Agape says "I love you" regardless...
In the Bible, we have countless examples of God's, the Father's, love and also other great men. I want to tell you today, those same great men exist today. I see them all around me. There is none who has mastered perfect parenting except for God, but there are those who strive towards being the best examples they can be for their children .
Here are 35 things I learned from my Dad as a woman:

Here are 35 things I learned from my Dad as a woman:

- How to defend myself from broken people
- How to be my children's number one advocate
- How to express my ideas and beliefs
- How to be grounded and principled
- The importance of a "good name", from credit to reputation
- How to say "I'm sorry"
- How to allow myself room to grow throughout life
- How to never cease learning
- How to have my own fashion sense and style
- How to be equipped for all seasons
- How to be domesticated, cook, clean, change a tire, decorate, be a handyman
- How to give and what to give
- What value I have and what not to accept
- How to be loyal, regardless of fault or blame
- How to be quiet
- When to speak up
- How to not to be needy for others' acceptance
- How to delay not deny gratification
- How to be an example for my children
- How to lead and when to follow
- How to discern others motives towards me
- How to enjoy life
- How to appreciate things and people
- How protect my children
- How to be content whether I'm abase or abound
- How to bounce back
- How to be logical and rationalize

Your Time Is Now
God is methodical and strategic. He doesn't just hap hazardously do anything. When studying the Bible, one must pay close attention to the number sequencing of his methods. This is not to say to worship numbers, order and sequence but to know and understand that God has precise timing and an ordering system.
With this knowledge, we can move forth from the misnomer that we are just living day-to-day on our own time. We have plans and goals and these are great tools to make better use of your time. Nevertheless, we have to realize that every moment we live is precious. It is a gift from God and we have to be good stewards of ALL that God gives us.
Sometimes when we pray and cry out to God for deliverance, provision, clarity and etc...we most often times don't see the instantaneous manifestations of his answers. Yet, trust and believe, he has heard your cries, pleas and supplications. He answered you before you even asked, just like he architected the plan for salvation through Christ before the foundations of the Earth were created, yes before we sinned. When he created us and he knew us even in our mothers' wombs. He knew our personalities, temperaments, abilities, and talents before a piece of paper stamped our birth date.
We have to develop a sensitivity to God's prompting and to know when he has manifested the answers to our prayers. We ask for a lot, yet and still, at times, we aren't aware when he has answered. Perhaps, we don't quite like his answer because it goes against the grain in us, it exposes us and shows where we need some tweaking, or the timing is in conflict with our plans or what we have going on. God's blessings are fail-proof. If God is guiding you into a certain direction, then believe that he also has provision awaiting you there. Sometimes we hinder the manifestations of the fulfillment of our answered prayers by:
1. Being Disobedient to The Word of God- God has standards and procedures and they are expressed in His Word. When we go against them, we won't be necessarily denied because God is faithful and just to forgive IF we repent, but things can be delayed.
2. Being Full of Fear- Fear immobilizes because it's weighed down by caveats of uncertainty, conjecture, presumptions of failure or things not working out for your good.
3. Holding Past Baggage-Sometimes we have wounds that haven't healed from our pasts. God is a healer. He requires for us to be whole, but we are going to have to drop any emotional, mental or behavioral baggage from the past. When wounds have healed they often leave scars. Scars are great icebreakers for you sharing your testimony of how you survived and grew. Nonetheless, active or dormant wounds mean that there is still pain there. It needs to be fully exposed so you can heal, yet we can't heal alone. We must put ourselves in environments and situations in which we allow the healing process to take place.
4. Not Prepared to Receive-We pray to God because we innately believe that he will hear us and answer us. However as time goes on , we get complacent in our day-to-day existence and sometimes forget that we have to do ALL we can do. We have to prepare ourselves. To some this might be working on finances, going back to school, relocating, rearranging priorities, redefining relationships, fine tuning your spiritual man and etc...It's important to be prepared because "what if" God's manifestations to your prayers appear tomorrow, will you be ready to receive them it to their fullest or will things be out of order? If it is the latter, that will cause strain and delay you from fully whole-heartedly enjoying your answered prayers.
5. Responding Carnally to Spiritual Attacks- Anything that is of God and according to His purpose is going to have some kind of internal or external challenges. Nonetheless, watch where or who you run to when problems arise. We have to kill bad thoughts, behavior and habits. We have to watch how we respond and be prepared to make adjustments within ourselves.
6. Not Willing to Sacrifice- We have to be able to sacrifice that which cost us something. This may manifest in our possessions, relationships, money, activities or etc...This is going to hurt but the reward is going to be greater than the pain.
Once we have identified what our painpoints are...then correct them NOW! Not a year from now, months from now, but right NOW. The more we continuously sow towards a thing, the more we will reap the harvest thereof. This applies for both good and bad things. I consider myself a "good" planner and sometimes I plan myself through transitions as far as a year or two out from something actually occurring BUT when God's spirit quickens me, I have learned to move.
To some your good and perfect gifts are there waiting to be manifested and to others they have manifested. You have your plan and your timing and God has his. Even within our best attempt, we cannot outdo God when it comes to orchestrating that which would empower and prosper our lives. We cannot allow ourselves to be worldly, moving back and forth in our emotions...we have to stand on God's Word and the revelation knowledge he has given us about himself, how he operates and what he has for us.
It's not a question of "if" God answered your prayers...it's a question of "when" are you going to embrace his answers! Do it now!

Storms Come, Yet & Still We Remain
"Many evils confront the (consistently) righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all" Ps. 34:19
Life is a summation of challenges and victories, valleys and peaks! It doesn't matter how many challenges you overcome, you have to realize that there will always be more. Don't be discouraged or fretful that you have challenges, obstacles and storms that are trying to prevail against you. This is a natural part of life, especially when you know who you are in Christ. The road of least resistance is probably an indicator you are traveling down the wrong road. Yet every challenge can produce great victories! Stay out loud, "This storm WILL pass and I WILL be the standing". Victory is always available, just grab hold to it!
We shouldn't be as nearly concerned with the challenges and catastrophic events that occur in our lives, but more so our responses to them. It is within our response, that our faith is developed and matured, that our testimonies are birthed. Faith boldly speaks to the "present and future" with the assurance and knowledge of the "past". We have faith in God because of what he has done. Since he has intervened before, why should he not again? God is stable and constant, he is not like man, forever wavering in his emotions towards us. He loves us now, even though he knows what we will do tomorrow. This is an empowering assurance which should prompt us to step up to the storms in our lives and rebuke them. We may not be able to stop them from rising up against us, but we can take dominion over them once they come!

You Deserve To Know...
You deserve to know that you are loved,
that if you left this world tomorrow
someone's heart would have a missing plug.
You deserve to know that you are forgiven,
that you don't have a patent on making mistakes
but life goes on and you're only going to get better with time.
You deserve to know that happiness is available to you,
it's not a destination but a mindset and
you should take it wherever you go.
You deserve to know that you are set free,
you are not held hostage to anything past or present,
as long as you have a choice, choose life
and live it to the fullest.
You deserve to know that you make a difference in this world,
you are a gift so special to the world,
that God thought it couldn't do without you.
