It's OK

It's Ok

It's ok to feel frustrated after losing someone or facing numerous battles. You are a human being with five senses attached to you and feeling is definitely one of those emotions that are built into us. However, it is not ok, to let the circumstance or death stagnate your purpose or growth in life. You must mourn and pray to receive strength to move forward. I know you might be reading this saying to yourself that it sounds harsh or insensitive but I am writing from a sincere place in my heart. You see I am a Widow, who became a widow before the age of thirty years old. I have three children and I have recently buried my baby sister who was only twenty- one year of age. So it is safe to safe I know all about hard pain and how life can beat you up if you let it. I know about wondering how am I going to feed my kids and keep a roof over their heads. I know about lonely nights and frustration of not putting the blame on anyone because the people you love the most are gone. How life can be so unfair even before you become an adult being that I was the little girl in foster care and so much more sad things that I have discussed in my book.

The truth is, if, we all sit back and think about all the battles we have all face they can be sad and for some uplifting. But let me tell you what I do know. That God is a redeemer of time and he can give you peace that surpasses all understanding. For me, the following day my Husband was called home, I gained strength that was indescribable and I became an advocate for the lost. Yes, even while it seemed like I was lost but the truth is I wasn't lost. I was right where God has placed me. He knew all along what he placed inside of me and what he has placed inside of you. I know it gets hard and you feel so alone and you feel like everyone's life seems better than yours. I can't blame you for having these feelings but what I will say is allow yourself to gain strength to push through and become a winner. So, when, it is all said and done and God calls you home, you can look back at your life and say you left undefeated. Today marks the eighth year anniversary of my Husband's death. It will forever be an emotional day for me but I am grateful that I didn't let it paralyze me to be the best mom I can be. That I turned my sadness into inspiration to help and bless many by the grace of God. 

Whatever you are facing today just know that you're not alone and you will get through it. There is a rainbow of the other side if you push through and keep standing. I love you all to health!

Declaration: I will rise! I am undefeated!

RIP Raheem Mack aka My Husband

No Matter What!

No Matter What! Life will throw you some major curveballs just to see how you will respond to it and God will seem silent testing you to see if you have enough faith in him. To be honest the whole ordeal can seem overwhelming. You may feel like me at times and want to pull all your hair out. Confused and scared to make the wrong decision, this is the moment I suggest you breathe and ponder like I do. I stop everything and pray and wait to get revelation on what to do. I have learned from Abraham and Sarah that when I feel hopeless and inpatient not to make a swift decision that can birth an Ishmel. The anointing does come with a price despite what churchy folks try to say.  I say this because now you are being attacked by the devil and his minions. You're fighting flesh that all of the sudden resurfaces hard and your emotions seem out of wack as well when you are pursuing purpose. I may not have all the answers, but one thing, I am confident in,  Jesus is real and ...

Your Life Can Change In Seconds!

Your Life Can Change In Seconds Close your eyes, inhale and exhale now open your eyes, that is how fast everything in your life can change for the better. We serve a God that is a waymaker and a miracle worker. It only takes one word from him. However, I must be honest with you. If you are not prepared for the abundance that the suddenly will cause then you are doomed. You see, I feel like we should be preparing ourselves for what we are praying for. We should be confident and educated in what we are desiring from God. Preparation will forever be the key to our success. I want to encourage you to be praying for wisdom and understanding so you will know how to handle whatever comes your way. This will allow the blessing to never be a burden. As your life changes in seconds, you will be able to carry the weight of the miracle. I think about Paul and Silas chained and bound in jail as they sang hymns, the prison doors opened. (Acts 12;3-19) You see that was a sudden breakthrou...

Release The Grief!

Release The Grief! The pain that we endure by people we love is the most painful experience ever. I don't know about you, but I can feel it in my bones and my heart aches when experiencing this kind of pain. Being hit from a blind spot not seeing it coming from that individual. I don't know if it hurts more because we didn't expect it or because who the oppressor is, either way, it hurts. As I am growing more each day spiritually, I am learning it cost me more to dwell on it. I push myself to show that person love and not the phony cordial type, I mean the same ounce of love before they offended me. People are not obligated to treat me in an exact manner that I expect. That is my expectation for them, not theirs. Don't get me wrong I expect respect but when a person offends me, most of the time it's because they didn't do something that I wanted them too. Some cases, for some people, it can be very different and traumatic circumstances. Still, when you think ...
