2 Random People

San Antonio, Texas, United States
We are the most random people you will meet. Sometimes we just like to stay at home and be comfortable and some times we like a good adventure. We both know for certain that we like to help those less fortunate than ourselves (hence why we both work in similar fields) and that we have a unique backgrounds. Larry is intelligent, calm, and humble. Some of his favorite things are traveling, Batman, watching basketball, and making friends with the neighborhood cats. Bridgedette is smart, friendly, and a go getter. Some of her favorite things are watching Matt Lauer on the TODAY Show in the morning, eating cheeps and learning about new things. We have been laughing together since 2008 and plan to do so for the rest of our lives.

random thoughts on haters

Larry's thoughts..... (and no nothing is wrong just putting some thoughts into words)
You know sometimes we get caught up in the craziness known as life. And we have to take a step back and reflect on us and those who would do harm to us. I found this among some thoughts i had before so figured I'd share it here too.

A hater is someone that is jealous and envious and spends all their timetrying to make you look small so they can look tall. They are very negative people. Nothing is ever good enough! When you make your mark,you will always attract some haters... That's why you have to be careful who you share your blessings and your dreams with because some folks can't handle seeing you blessed...It's dangerous to be like somebody else...If God wanted you to be like somebody else. He would have given you what He gave them. You don't know what people have gone through to Get what they have...The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they don't know my story...If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you can restassured that the water bill is higher there too.We've all got some haters among us. Some people don't like it that you can:
* Have a relationship with God
* Light up a room when you walk in
* Start your own business
* Tell a man/woman to get lost (if he/she ain't about the right thing)
* Raise children without both parents being around
* And not ask for a dime from anyone
* Haters don't want to see you happy
* Haters don't want to see you succeed
* Haters don't want you to get the victory

Most of our haters are people that are supposed to be on our side. How do you handle the haters who you at least expect to have your guard upagainst? You can handle your haters by:
1. *Knowing who you are & who your true friends are (VERY IMPORTANT!!)
2. *Having a purpose to your life
3. *By remembering what you have is by divine choice and not human manipulation.

Purpose does not mean having a job. You can have a job and still be unfulfilled. A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called you to be. Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you. Fulfill your dreams! You only have one life to live................when its your time to leave this earth, you want to be able to say, I've lived my life and fulfilled my dreams, .........I'm ready to go HOME! When God gives you a favor, you can tell your haters, "Don't look atme...Look at who is in charge of me..."
P.S.- in case you're wondering, i added a pic of Bridge and I since she is probably the one person who i've felt in my life has not been a hater and liked me for who I really am. I'm blessed to know her.

Larry,

I'm reading this as I try to save 60 students, and I need you to know that I love you for you.

I never thought that I would find someone who would not "hate on me" for being smart and ambitious. You my friend, are an amazing human who can do anything he wants to do. Better yet, you are a fantastic friend. I don't know anyone who would be able to teach and show me unconditional love.


You did. I love that you accept me for me and I will accept you for you.....Ketchup, Basketball Playoffs, Batman and all!!!

Love, BG
