Who AM I?

Every year, the month of February is dedicated to Black History! Each time we read a story, whether it is a praise story or a story of remorse and pain; it still brings back to memory the stories of many who suffered tragic losses!

Jesus sat with the unloved: the prostitutes, tax collectors (hustlers), and gamblers!

So many questions unanswered and mysteries still not solved! It truly pains us to not have a firm foundation in our heritage to understand our beginning so we can have a strong finish! We are all trying to secure our identity and still there are missing pieces to the puzzle! Who am I, is the question many ask themselves!

If we uncover the flesh, no one would be able to identify what color you are, because underneath we are all created the same! So why then did God make us all different on the outside? That’s the challenge faced in biblical days and today! Now listen and listen closely, it is to see where your “heart” is!

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also”. (Matthew 6:21 KJV)

Slave Family on South Carolina plantation!



Your treasure could be the love of money and power, or it could be control! Many feel God created only one race and want to eliminate all of those unlike them; like Paul who imprisoned and killed Christians because he was doing it from a religious view point. Read Acts Chapter 9! God created you and knew who and what He created and said, “It is good”! But the biggest affliction in this world stems back to how many seek prestige and power on earth that weakens the Spirit and gives power to destruction!


Are you of the world (Satan's domain) or are you of the Spirit (Heaven bound)?


 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (Genesis 1:26-27 KJV)

That is your identity!

# 7 Objectives (n) - something your working towards Increase! ---Hmmm! Increase in what? I'm not sure what you mean by increase! Increase in finances maybe ~ or increase in knowledge ~ or perhaps you mean increase in healthy friendships!  All of these are attainable; however, they are not accomplished without work on our part to obtain them ~ and keep them. Maybe you want to increase your household! Uh Oh! (Big Smile) ~ VUALA ~ here's your baby! Wow that would be wonderful if it worked out that way, but we know better huh?  How many of you have really sat down with a goal in mind and established a step by step plan to reach that goal? I have never done that, I have always flown by the seat of my pants and they would always work out! NOW? It's not that easy. I have had to think things through more, pray about them and believe they will happen!  What I mean by that is, I became independent of Christ (sure of my own works), instead of dependent (leaning totally ...

In Dark Times, RUN to Jesus!

If you view God through how and what your earthly parents instilled in you, whether it was right or wrong; no wonder so many do not come to God ~ without one plea!   Let me explain! If your Father or Mother were mean, controlling, did not keep a promise they made, promiscuous or did not show their love towards you; whereas, instead of seeking Jesus, you WILL seek the opposite of who Jesus is! Especially when we are hurt, depressed, or feeling unloved! Once again, God is not harsh, hard or sharp and slow to anger! “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good—not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but ...

Appetizer # 2 -Mental Attitude ~ a state of feeling or mind about a person or situation WOW! I know that I have had some bad attitudes in situations that were not necessary to even entertain. I can recall one of my many times I developed an attitude before I allowed myself a good attitude about going to a community dance in my hometown. I just knew it was going to be boring and the people that were going to be there, I had nothing in common with (or I thought),  many of them there were not my age; and I did not have anything nice to wear, I needed to make sure my children were sleep first, and on and on and on - -  "Geez" I kept coming up with excuse, after excuse, after excuse!! My negative attitude about going to this dance could have kept me - - -- well, what many of us pass up - - - it's called "living"; IF, I would not have regrouped and decided to go anyway.  I found a babysitter, obviously found something to wear with a pair of my many fabulous sho...
