iVOA - "STOP THE VIOLENCE!!"
" I always ask myself this question - Why will one human batter another, and these are two people that suppose to be in-love or love each other unconditionally. For crying out loud this person has every right to live and have the freedom to speak and deserves to be happy just as you, so why choose to make your partner's life miserable just because you want to play god ... i could go on and on, but y'all know what am talking about including those involved in this heartless act " - Omoh
WHAT I'VE LEARNED ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS by Diana Rausin
This past year I’ve come in contact with many different forms of relationships.
Some of my friends entered their second year of marriage.
Some of my friends got married.
Some got engaged.
Some just started dating.
Some broke up.
Some have been married for many years.
And none of them are the same.
I decided a while back that I would try to learn from what everyone around me in relationships had to offer. How do relationships really work? What’s normal? What’s is trying to make it work and what is beating a dead horse? What makes a relationship last?
So I’ve watched. I’ve asked. I’ve taken mental notes. And I’ve prayed. Most of all, I’ve learned.
I’ve learned that no two relationships are the same. They all start differently, they all have different struggles, and they all have different ways of functioning. You cannot compare your relationship to that of someone else. Just because one relationship starts really quickly and one takes months of months of being friends before dating… doesn’t mean one will last and one won’t. There is no cookie-cutter relationship that we should all hold as our standard.
I’ve learned that it doesn’t have to be hard. I’m not saying that it is always going to be easy, or that you will never fight. But I’ve seen a lot of my friends in couples over the past few months… and it doesn’t have to be that hard! If while you are dating: you fight every single day, you can’t agree on anything, you talk bad about each other when you aren’t around one another, you’d rather be alone more than being with your significant other, you can’t trust them… there is better! Maybe you work it out with the person you’re with. Maybe you decide to move on. But I’ve seen it. It does exist. Relationships are work, but they don’t have to constantly be hard work.
I’ve learned the importance of dealing with your baggage BEFORE you enter a relationship. I never realized that the things that have scarred me in my past –’daddy’ issues, the way I have been treated in past relationships, the way I behaved myself and the scars I caused myself – will show up in your relationships! In a major way. No one person can make me whole. No one person can ‘fix’ me. It is up to me to allow Christ to do that and to genuinely seek becoming more like Him and healing those scars. He is the ONLY one that can do that.
I’ve learned that your spouse will always come second. I used to believe that my future husband would come above anything and everything else in my life. If we had children, they would follow. Then I fell in love with Jesus Christ. And He wants to be first in my life. ABOVE ALL ELSE. That includes a husband and kids. That includes family. That includes EVERYTHING. If you do not have a significant other that feels the same way or sees Christ the way you do, you need to seek Christ together and ask Him to change your hearts, make you fall in love with HIM, that way you can allow room for Christ in your heart and in your relationship.
I’ve learned my position as a woman in a relationship. I used to get soooo offended at the thought of ‘submitting’ to my husband. I am my own person, why should I let him get the say? It takes an entire post to expound upon this, but in the end, it’s not a power thing… it’s respect, it’s Godly, it’s trust. The Bible calls me to be with a man worth leading me and making the decisions when it comes to our well being, our walk with Christ, our children. Ladies, if he’s not worth submitting to, don’t. Men, we need you to lead us. We need you to be worth submitting to.
I’ve learned that no matter how hard, difficult, or confusing it may seem at the time, sometimes you have to walk away. I get so upset with friends who allow themselves to be walked all over. Because I’ve been there. Ladies, if he is having an emotional affair with someone BEFORE you get married, what makes you think he won’t run to another woman when you’re married? Guys, if she’s cheated on you once, what on earth makes you think she’ll never do it again? She did not have the respect or love for you to not do it the first time. You may be afraid of being alone, you may not want to give up, but God wants you to. Let go of a bad, abusive, emotionally trying relationship. Don’t settle.
I’ve learned not to settle. I need someone to lead me in my everyday life and my spiritual walk. Someone who makes me laugh and laughs with me. Someone who appreciates me. Someone who is not abusive in any way. Someone who loves Jesus way more than he will ever love me. Someone who is ok with the fact that I may know just as much about football and baseball as he does. Someone Godly, respectable, and endearing. I don’t think that’s too much to ask. I’d rather be picky, have high standards, and not settle than be in a relationship that is destructive for the rest of my life. I’ve come too far to give up now.
I’ve learned it’s not about me. My entire life, I have desired a relationship with a man. I’ve wanted a family. And more recently, I have desired to be a stay-at-home wife and mom. But these are selfish desires. I’ve learned we must align our hearts with God’s. If my relationships, if my life, does not honor and glorify Him, then what is the point? I do not want a relationship, simply to have a relationship. If I can serve God more furiously as a married woman, FANTASTIC. If I serve Him better single, then He will grant me the peace and understanding to do so for the rest of my life. I fully believe and put my hope in this truth.
I’ve learned the best and most fruit-bearing relationships bring you closer to God every single day. I’ve observed some pretty incredible relationships this year and have been so lucky to get to be a part of the lives of those in them and learn from them. And the biggest lesson they have all taught me? You can’t get closer to each other, without getting closer to God. Intimacy was CREATED by God Himself. How do we expect to know it, to have it, without Him? It’s like a triangle: The closer you get to Him at the top, the closer you get to each other. It also keeps your relationship strong and keeps Satan from attacking you with the everyday struggles of life. Those can either magnify the relationship or destroy it.
What advice do you have? What have you learned through relationships of your own or from others around you? Are you looking to learn? What could you learn?

ITS YOUR OPINION!
"TIA MOWRY DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT HER SON"
"He's the biggest joy of my life, Why would I want to hide that? The thing is that Cree lives in the real world. To overly protect him-I think-will hurt him. This isn't the last time somebody's going to critique him or pick on him. Everybody has been a product of some sort of bullying. Everyone has a right to an opinion. To control someone's opinion, I don't know if that's realistic, but you can choose. There are certain things you should say, or you shouldn't say. It does hurt when you do hear things that are not positive and see things that are not positive. We're real people. For people to say they're not affected by it, I don't know if they're being honest.
Tia says she has gotten so much support - fans have showed their love for her and Cree in vast numbers.
"I have gotten so much support and love from my fans. I never realized, I guess I never really realized the power of support from fans until this situation that came about. A lot of people who kind of always wanted to say something about the issue... this was their platform to talk about it. One woman said something about how her child had Down syndrome and how how nasty this world can be. Happiness and joy and the positive is a choice. It's making me a stronger person".

TERRENCE J NEW CO-HOST OF E! NEWS
Terrence J former BET's 106 and Park host has replaced Ryan Seacrest as the new co-host of E! News, side by side with Giuliana Rancic. This is what E! Network had to say...
"Terrence Jenkins is a talented and well-connected television personality who will bring an original sensibility to our news programs. Coupled with lead anchor Guiliana Rancic's proven experience, Jenkins' arrival should help cement E! News stature as the leading source for news across pop culture."
The former co-host Ryan Seacrest left E! News way back in January 2012 due to his high level of busy schedule which includes hosting American Idol, his daily Radio morning show, and executive producing a lot of reality shows. For the new co-host TJ his new job will begin November 12, 2012.
Best of luck Terrence J, looking forward to seeing you do your thing!
USAIN BOLT - NEXT STEP?
Man-U ceo Sir Alex Ferguson revealed yesterday that the world's fastest man Bolt could make appearance for the club in a friendly match against Real Madrid next season. Chatting with Inside United Magazine here is what the boss had to say;
"Usain's a character and a big United fan. It's interesting he says he'd like to play in a charity game. It could be brilliant, and next year when we play Real Madrid's Legends again, there could be opportunities to bring him up and see how he does."
I believe we can now say the dream of the fastest man in the world of playing for Manchester United football club is about to come true.
