Hi Hater
A hater is someone that is jealous and envious and spends all their time trying 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 folk 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 rest assured 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 up against?
You can handle your haters by:
- Knowing who you are and who your true friends are.
- Having a purpose to your life.
- By remembering what you have is by divine prerogative 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!
Watch out for Haters……………………..BUT most of all don’t become a HATER yourself!

To celebrate Sunday, I’ve been moved to begin a weekly Sunday post called “Sunday Piece of Cake.” In the post, guest writers will be invited to share funny stories about their kids, poems, parenting tips, and inspirational stories–the kind of pieces that will be the equivalent of a delicious Sunday “meal.”
And since a Sunday meal just isn’t complete without dessert, guest writers will be asked to supply a desert recipe along with their story–something sweet and delicious that’ll put the icing on the “Sunday Piece of Cake.”
If you wish to be a guest writer for “Sunday Piece of Cake,” email your story or poem and recipe to Sunday@chedemisboutique.com

OMG! That cheesecake looks soooo good. I love cheesecake and I LOVE peanut butter cups. I know that has to be a delicious combination.
“The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they don’t know my story.”
Now that has got to be my favorite line… right along with “Raise children without both parents being around and not ask for a dime from anyone.” I say, keep doing you and turn all of the haters away. Perhaps they will take notes and start to transform that hate into progression.

I love cheesecake. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Yummy. That cheesecake looks so good. I love the Sunday Piece of Cake! I really enjoyed Mary and agree with 100% about haters. I guess I count myself lucky because if I have haters they haven’t let me know. And I count that as a blessing!

I’ve reached that point in my life where I definitely know how to shake those haters off. The older I get, the less time I have for foolishness…period.
Now, to the real deal, the cheesecake. That looks so good, I’m going to have to try that recipe.
Be blessed.

Wow, this is what I needed to hear this morning. I mean exactly. I have been debating whether or not to start a business. I have had an idea on my mind for months but I was not sure if I should do it or not. Of course I know a few haters (family members) that like to see me struggle. I think I will just go for it. I love Mary J. That song is my theme song. That cheesecake looks so good

I’m on board with what you say about haters. Joy stealers is what I call them. The sad thing is - God blesses them just as much if they’d only recognize their own blessings in life and give Him the thanks He deserves.
And oh my that cheesecake looks too good to eat.
Thanks for your comment on my blog. You’ll have to tell me if and when you get ‘Finding Kyie’ and what you think of my book. I can’t wait to get your feedback.
Love to you my new blogging friend….wornoutwoman aka blessed1 at daily blessings: http://blessed1.wordpress.com/

Haters cant live with them or without them. It seem that your goals is what they always wanted to do but never did. Only if they took the time to see that we all have a mountain to reach the top of but differant ways of getting there. What kills me the most about haters is they know it all and simple wont do anything with what they have but see fit to put other down cause they didnt do it first. wow does knowledge really kills.

What a great post…I’ve learned that sometimes you just need to let some people in your life go their own way so that you can go your way. It’s sad to say goodbye to them, but if they are stealing your joy that is not good either!
I LOVE your recipe today too! Cheescake and PB together? That looks like heaven to me.
Have a great week!

Love the hater post. I cannot wait for tomorrows cake. I did make that one from two weeks ago, but without the nuts. I’m having fun with this cause I can’t cook but I’ve been doing good with these cakes.
