    Mama, Please Get Your Baby…

    June 25, 2013 /

    It seems that it is now a continuing romance between us and the Mockingbirds that live in the tree that resides on our front yard.  The other evening as the Coach and I were returning home from a long day of activities, we were confronted by the sound of rustling in our outside garbage can.  My brave husband took a look inside and saw that a bird had flown or fallen in since we had left it uncovered.  I followed up his analysis with my own and learned that it was a baby bird that resembled “Cranky Bird” the Mockingbird that likes to sit itself on the roof and look…

    Ok I will Do It, Lord

    August 8, 2010 /

    August 8th, 2010 – Yesterday, in preparing to go to my church’s general service, I decided to have as my traveling music Byron Cage’s “Faithful to Believe” album. When I arrived on location the song that was pumping through my ear phones was “I Can’t Hold it”; a song that gets me every time in the mood to praise.  After attending a meeting I proceeded to go downstairs to visit with one of my friends in another volunteer department (I serve in the Music Ministry.)  I opted for the elevator versus the stairs.  Two of my friends one an armor bearer for my pastors and another a pastor’s aide waited with…

    Rejoicing through the pressure

    June 15, 2010 /

    This past Sunday, I was called in to worship as an alternate singer at one of satellite church’s my local church supports. I woke up that morning with a pressure headache that made me want to stay home. I had planned out my trip ahead of time, but the train I was to take was pulled from the schedule. During the Praise and Worship section of service I felt actually at some points I was going to fall out. BUT and yes I do know but cancels out all that I just said. I rejoiced all the way through the pressure. My point in all this is to say…many times…

    Lessons Learned Thus far Beauty for Ashes… An Open Letter to My Sisters

    March 12, 2010 /

    My sisters, We may not have the same mother or father… our skin tones different shades and hues.  However one thing that we have in common is our gender and its name…WOMAN. Through it we have a kinship.  We have the ability to share stories of similar hormonal changes, first crushes, first kisses, loves, heart breaks, marriages and for many of us childbirth. I write this article from my perceptive of being a single woman in her early 30s, no children yet…African American and having had my heart broken and restored.  Raised by older parents, both having since gone to be with the Lord; I write this as a Christian,…

    My Battlecry

    November 6, 2009 /

    I will pass the test of walking in love even in the midst of hurt feelings.  I know that I am accepted by my Abba Father and am the righteousness of God. If I must boldly stand apart and embark on things unknown, I know my faith in the covenant promises will be more than enough to sustain me. I will see God’s will done through my life of bond servitude and my inheritance.  Know this…I regret nothing, nor do I desire to go back through doors that have been clearly shut.
