The Birthing...

We almost had a chance to see & experience our 1st Madam President. Yesterday, seeing the women in their nicely tailored pantsuits did something to me... I thought, why would any young girl aspire to be a "bad bitch" having their possessions the only thing to show vs. having nice things, being educated and making a difference. Now Hillary Clinton was that bad B...
Yet, the results are in.. I don’t know about you, but this morning I woke up with so many emotions. I literally held my tears as my daughter and I dressed for the day. I didn’t realize I was holding tears until driving off from her school, making my way to work and the tears began to flow. Trying to stop them, they wouldn’t. I continued to hear train my hands to war. Stir up the gifts within me. Create in me a clean heart. For such a time as this.

Seeing a woman having the possibility of becoming President of the United States speaks volumes. I remember watching Birth of a Nation a few weeks ago and the ending stumped me. Nat Turner did all of this. Didn’t he know that he would get caught? Didn’t he know that his efforts were only going to go so far? Then he was captured (not in the movie) hung and dismembered. It wasn’t until now that I put the missing piece… Just like Nat Turner, Hillary Clinton made a statement more powerful than becoming the first woman President. Hillary Clinton lit a fire in the hearts of many too numerous to count.

Same as Jesus dying on the cross. Satan thought his mission was fool proof yet was silly enough to forget who God was. Did you really think beating and killing Jesus, making a mockery of him to hang on a cross would stop the move of God? No sir, you were a part of the plot in order for God’s Word to spread to the ends of the earth. So although there are many who are broken in spirit because of Hillary Clinton losing the Election to Mr. Trump, she did her part. She showed up, stood tall, holding the torch high. Not just for one to grab hold to and run, but for all to resist fear and fan the fire that is lit in them right now.

This is not the end, although yes the Word of the Lord is true and it must come to past. Joel 2:25-32 says "I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten-- the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm -- my great army that I sent among you. “You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the LORD your God, who has worked wonders for you; never again will my people be shamed. Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am the LORD your God, and that there is no other; never again will my people be shamed. "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the LORD has said, even among the survivors whom the LORD calls.

So, the time is now not to be afraid but to be of great courage. Repent in our own hearts and move forward in the calling and purpose set within us before the beginning of time.

Unbreak My Heart

Although I am writing about myself, I want for my readers to see themselves or someone in a similar situation. Not feel sorry for yourself or them, but to gain some clarity. This make take a moment to read, so kick back and get comfortable for a moment. Right now I'm listening to Un-Break My Heart by Toni Braxton & have the nerve to have it on repeat. I actually really love old 90's hits. That's when real music was in. It’s around 5p so I’m writing in between stops in traffic. For probably the last few years I've been beating myself up over this simple yet burdensome stumbling block. Somewhere, sometime ago I lost confidence in myself. I couldn't understand it because although I knew people had an opinion about me, truthfully I didn't care. Like, literally someone could say something out of line to me & I wouldn't notice, because my mind more than likely was on something else anyhow. Somewhere along the way I began to care & I will say that...

Leave It...

“What did you do with all your books?” “I left everything in there. I didn’t want to bring anything from there, here.”   This was a question I asked a friend who was recently released from prison. Funny this piece of our conversation came to mind this morning. You’re getting ready to move from one place to another yet you look at your current space you’ve been residing for so long. You’ve collected so much stuff over the years. Stuff that at one point you needed and held onto so desperately and dared anyone take it from you. Some that fed you. Some that depleted you. Some that distracted you. Some that strengthened you. Some things you look at and ask why or where did this come from. Letters, notes, pictures, little nick knacks are everywhere. All this stuff surrounding a current space you’re about to leave for good. What are you going to do with the collection? Do you take it with you or do you leave it all there? Opening your bag, setting it on the bed you laid your head...

Intervention

Intervention...   I am reminded of the movie Frankie and Alice. I said that I was going to go back and watch that movie. Because Frankie has a personality disorder. Frankie had Alice, Frankie (herself) and Genius to deal with. Frankie was trying to cope with life the best way that she knew how to do so. In her regular self, Frankie was an exotic dancer and did things that comes with that lifestyle. Alice was a person Frankie had tucked away from her past and it was almost like she didn’t exist. Alice was determined to make Frankie pay for what she had done to her at such a young age. Frankie knew the events had taken place but back in that time and even still in her present time, there were many things that were left unsaid. So Frankie accepted her reality but never let the memories go. This was a place she would visit every so often but instead of her prompting the memories the memories would be triggered by a song, vision, an event or person that closely resembled anyth...
