options fullscreen Alone Maya Angelou ,  1928  -  2014 Lying, thinking Last night How to find my soul a home Where water is not thirsty And bread loaf is not stone I came up with one thing And I don’t believe I’m wrong That nobody, But nobody Can make it out here alone. Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone. There are some millionaires With money they can’t use Their wives run round like banshees Their children sing the blues They’ve got expensive doctors To cure their hearts of stone. But nobody No, nobody Can make it out here alone. Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone. Now if you listen closely I’ll tell you what I know Storm clouds are gathering The wind is gonna blow The race of man is suffering And I can hear the moan, ‘Cause nobody, But nobody Can make it out here alone. Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone.  To Maya Angelou My hearts cries because I will never meet you face to face. Your words add

Today I give you permission to stop what you are doing and relax. My schedule has been extremely busy lately and my body feels it, but I am on a small vacation now. I am sitting watching tv and thinking about the millions of things I should be doing. I stayed up till 12 midnight last night trying to complete my assignment, I must pack and prepare for our travel to the Gullhah Festival. I am excited and can't wait to come back and share my praise report with you all. Relax and enjoy this beautiful day that The Lord has made, be glad and rejoice in him.

Seek ye the kingdom of righteousness and all things shall be added. Why do you put a capitation on God? He clearly has a real place of royalty prepared for you. It is a throne, a throne of glory! If I am going to this place he has prepared.  I want to invite you to follow, where I go ye may also go, where I have been I would never invite you to go, but look forward, look ahead , be confident,  and know your God will supply all your needs according to his riches and glory.

Lately, I have been extremely busy and it causes me to question certain things.  People may  think me sharing the inner core of me and my painful struggles of everyday life is crazy, but my transparency is going to provide hope to someone going through. I am allowing God to fine tune my clouded vision of my future.  I am really a queen and I married a king. My king has every intentions on giving me everything and some. He has already done that and much more. I love this journey with him. Everyday ups and downs makes it all worth it. People think it is easy, but being married to an artist has multitude of challenges.  I understand his love and passion.  I am so glad he selected me to watch him work his way right to the magical kingdom. He devote much of himself in everything he does. He challenges me and I am growing daily. I left my past pain and  disappointments to look forward to the future.  Be blessed and understand the road was not easy for the Cinderella either, she wor

Today I encourage you to creative some space in your busy schedule to focus on positive energy. Although, you may have been faced with a multitude of challenges. Clear your mind, mediate on positive energy, inhale the fresh oxygen, and exhale the excellence that was hidden from deep within your space.  Never allow all the negative energy to cloud your mind and dictate your creativity. 

I visited the nursing home,  in which I minister to every Sunday. I was not there to minister this time I actually on my job,  I arrived late, hoping to go in and come out because I had a long day and my work hours ended already at 5 pm and it was 6 pm.  The lady that I was looking for did not remember our last conversation but she remember my presence, she replied, "you are always so kind when I see you."    And then she explained she left the dinning room area because of the restless leg was bothering her. I walk with her as she wheeled herself slowly back to her room, in such discomfort. We talked and she was sad because I had no options to repatriate her back into the community.  She said it is said because she paid for her son's wedding and his wife refuses to visit or even care about her interest. She was moving very slowly and struggled to get back to bed. I was wondering to myself now if I was not there would she had fallen? She literally demonstrated a very unsaf

How Trusting God Can Transform Your Life by Joyce Meyer For a long time, there was so much turmoil in my life. It really saddens me to think about all the years I wasted living this way. I was a Christian and went to church, but I spent a lot of time being upset about things I couldn’t do anything about, experienced feelings of guilt and condemnation much of the time, had no peace and just didn’t enjoy life. Thankfully, I’ve had a radical transformation. I’ve developed the habit of trusting God, and now life is really worth living. What It Means to Trust God Trusting God is simply believing that He loves you, He’s good, He has the power to help you, He  wants  to help you, and He  will  help you. Christians are called believers, but many times, we are more like unbelieving believers. We trust our friends, the bank, the stock market or the government more than we trust God and His Word. In John 15:5, Jesus says that apart from Him, we can do nothing. We need to lean on Him for help with

So you pray for peace and joy.  People just can't understand why they must suffer and die daily.   He revealed to me as I prayer for unspeakable joy that his son came here on earth and he suffered more pain than anyone could image.  His days on earth was not a walk in the park.  His joy was reduced by the suffering of the loss.

Transparency seems to hurt people around you, but let me tell you the truth about the transparent person who loves deep and falls hard. To be transparent, you open yourself up for ridicule and criticism, sad to say it does not feel so good to be criticized because you were open and honest. Well, I am learning a big lesson in life everyone does not need to know your deepest innermost pain. I find opening up and let the pain escape feels so good, but the repercussions of that pain do dissipate. It grows as an infection and creates wounds from deep within. I never wanted to be invisible because I knew my visibility would reach deep into the soul of the person I touched. As a child, I remember being so visible I was forced to hide. My seclusion was like being captivity on the ship. It was so hard for me to understand why I could not share God with the people around me. So I escaped to an imaginary world. I created my own circle and what I thought my life should be. I held the hands of the

Context Freedom in Christ … 12 I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves.  13 For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.   14 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."… I came to understand my path to freedom is to understand our life's experiences are not just about me, women are emotional flawed. Women think they can say, do , and what ever they want.  I must say searching for a fairy tale or placing unrealistic expectations on your companion is the worse mistake women can make. I shared my journal to help you understand everyday challenges like our work, the kids, friends, and other stresses can create a unrealistic fantasy .  I am walking Into a new season, free from the fictional world I have created for myself. I begin to seek God for the answers to life's everyda

A Man’s Other Half We are told, by society, and, the Bible, that a woman completes a man. Well, depending on how that’s looked at, I have a problem with that. What needs to be asked is, What can’t a man be or do without a woman? For almost everything that a man gets from his woman, he can get from any of his friends: Somebody to talk to. Somebody to listen to. Somebody to laugh with. Somebody to cry with. Somebody to eat with. Somebody to starve with … etc. Any of the man’s friends or family, good-looking or not, tall or short, male or female, can be that to him. A woman can only logically be said to be a man’s missing other half, if having sex and/or making kids is the man’s primary objective. However, I would like to go as far as taking “having sex” out of the last sentence. For whether we like it or not, condone it or not, there are countless men who get to subdue their sexual urges from other men. In such cases, the anus plays vagina. The same can be said about wo
