“I’m Done” can sometimes mean “I quit”, “I give up”, “I’m sick of this”, “I can’t do this anymore” or “I refuse to participate in this any longer.” I guess you already know where I am going with this! How many times have we’ve said I’m DONE? We’ve been done with Life, People, Church, God, Love, Family, being nice, living right etc. We’ve just been DONE! But when Jesus died on the cross, He never said “I quit” “I give up” “I’m sick of this” “I can’t do this anymore” or ” I refuse to participate in this any longer.” (See John 19:30 NKJV) When Jesus said “It is finished” He meant PAID IN FULL. That the debt owed by man to His Creator on account of Adam’s sin is finally and forever dealt with. Jesus, with “It is finished,” is saying not only does He take away man’s sin, but now He removes it as far as the east is to the west, for it is finished, done, signed and sealed because of the blood of Jesus.
If Jesus NEVER thought for once about GIVING UP on us and He knows EVERYTHING about us before and after we got saved, why would we even dear to want to be “DONE” with ONE ANOTHER? Some relationships I get it are seasonable but I tell you what though you fall out with individuals and though some relationships end abruptly, I have come to accept that there is nothing that can make me have beef or hold grudges with anyone. We may no longer be in relationship or in covenant but we certainly will never be enemies.
In this blog I share my heart about the people in my life God gave me. We can choose our friends but we certainly do not choose our families. There are times when you can be surrounded by so many individuals and yet feel so alone. What we have to do is understand and accept some seasons are meant to be endured alone, no matter what relationships are established, when we are in Christ, some times God allows us to endure journeys on our own of course with His assistance because He wants us to solely dependent upon Him. I was once done with my siblings and so many others. From pushing to write this blog as God led me, I had to mature in certain areas I had to grow pass the I’m Done Cry, the I do not Trust anyone Cry, The I’m Hurt Cry, etc. I had to move beyond where I was and how I was thinking and learn to see things how God sees them. Even He can be confusing at times but I TRUST Him. My Siblings and I may disagree but you will never again hear me say I’M DONE! This is FOREVER! No matter what we endure and what we face we are STUCK on this journey TOGETHER. I only want WHOLE COVENANT relationships and when you allow God to do surgery on your heart issues those are the only relationships you will encounter and you will attract. I have experienced a sudden lost of “Friends” in 2019 and 2020, it bothered me at first but God helped me realize I cannot take them into my NOW or my NEXT. They was only meant to be apart of my THEN. I get that now!
Here I encouragement My Siblings of what’s been in and on my heart. I want them to know there is such a call on their lives and they will not fully walk in complete wholeness, happiness and operate in their fullest potential until they surrender to the one and true living God. There is no way around it, God has so much in store for each of you. We inherited the heart and love we show others from our parents and from the womb, He’s chosen, He’s called and He’s anointed us for this hour. I don’t care what you find yourself in, how successful you might feel you are, if God is not in it there will always be something missing. know that the prayers of our parents has been protecting us and their continued prayers still covers. But there comes a time where God pulls the hedge, don’t be a Jonah, I CHALLENGE YOU ALL TO SURRENDER your will for His.
Bingo – is the oldest child of 16 but yet the baby of us all. He likes to have fun, he just likes to look nice, he loves his beer and cigarettes and he will cuss you out over it and come back later and $5 you to death. That’s just the baby in him, he do not hold grudges, that cussing out could be 5 minutes later and he’s your best friend within that 6th minute. Today it breaks my heart to see him how he is now, but he shall LIVE. Big Bro, LIVE as long as you want. God has a way of slowing us down and making us trust Him, you increased my Faith significantly, there is NOTHING too hard for God. I just believe God has you right where He wants you. Know that WE got you and more so God’s GOT YOU. I Love You with My entire heart and there is nothing Mark and I will not do for you. I am excited about celebrating your Birthday this year because it could have been another way, what you endured has taught me to give those I Love their flowers while they’re still here and I will.
Latonia R – Miss I can’t hear out of that ear, Miss KNOW IT ALL and Miss I KNOW EVERYONE. She really does know a lot of people. She works my nerves, but there is nothing she won’t do for me. She’s been like a Mom to me, from taking care of me when I was sick to being at every major Dr. Appointment, to taking up for me when others treated me a certain way. Some things she had to take to God, but even she wasn’t always saved and wanted to do things in her own strength but that’s the Mom in her, that’s the LOVE in her. From a little girl watching you dress your behind off and learning from you melts my heart every time you step out and even ask me for advice, it just says your teachings and guidance through the years has paid off and for you to ask me means a lot. Big Sis, I have even watched you shop until you drop and I have watched you struggle. But you never changed your CONFESSION or your POSTURE. Can we say the struggle been over and it’s your time to REAP. You have grown and yet growing. In this season don’t stop growing and seeking the face of God for your family and those you embrace daily. Don’t just get older with age but allow God to grow you up even the more in Him and birth you into your NOW. The reason certain things bother you even through all the toughness is because of your heart, you have a heart of GOLD and there is nothing you will not do for any one that crosses your path. Even when people shun you, use you and show you the real them. You always embrace them no with a REAL hug and smile. Even if they need you to be there for them, you’re right there. Keep being you, God shall continue to raise you up, allow all the shade, the talk, the attack, the disloyalty to build you, refine you and make you. God has so much in store for you, WALK in the POWER, His grace is sufficient and don’t forget to LIVE while doing so.
Deon & Dez– Big Bro, I remember the days of getting whatever I wanted and needed from you. There was never a NO. I miss you immensely, during the years of being in the South, getting your random calls and text were on days I needed them the most. This day in this blog I just come back to say THANK YOU. Thank you for always being truthful, when things needs to be said you’re honest about it. You never take sides which is what I love about your character and you’re so forgiving. Know that I Love You with everything in me and there is nothing I won’t do for you. I have watched you work hard to provide for your family, even when things were crazy you stood by each of your children, cheering them on and just being there. No matter what anyone says, TIME is everything to children and you exhibit that well. It speaks well of who you as a MAN, a FATHER and a Big Brother. Keep striving Big Brother, I am looking forward to you one day relocating to the South or somewhere we can all visit. Dez, you deserve it ALL and more, you have weathered so many storms with my Big Brother. I cannot see any other Women strong enough to stand beside him. Thank you for sticking it out, thank for you for having my nieces and thank you for loving me the way you do. Your love and heart is genuine, there is no in between with you either you either like someone or you don’t and they gone know it. From a teen I’ve felt nothing but PURE LOVE from you. I Love You Both and I pray that everything you desire you have, everything your hands touch becomes blessed and you both LIVE as long you want upon this earth, happy and full of LIFE, LOVE and LAUGHTER to give to everyone that graces your presence.
Shynette – My Baby Sis (LOL). The season you’re in is called HEALING, WHOLENESS, GROWING PAINS and YES. I see you and I see me, I see you and I see the FUTURE YOU, it looks so beautiful. But first God has to process ALL of you from the secret cries, the secret fears, the secret frustrations, the secret insecurities etc. that you never talk about. Allow Him to refine and sustain you in this season. Trust Him with every part of you, He won’t and He can’t fail you. I am so proud of you, I am so proud to call you My Big Sister, no you aren’t perfect and I never expect you to be. I’ve learned in this season of my life that it’s okay to not be okay. Big Sis, at times it’s okay to not be okay. God has you planted and you shall not be moved. Keep pressing, don’t stop pushing, God is giving you sustaining power in this season. I Love you beyond words and I say to you be selfish in this season, it’s all about you, grow in God, continue to grow up in God and protect the peace God grants you. He has not forgotten the prayers, you’ve prayed concerning your Son’s. He will do just what you asked Him to do but first He’s going to do it in you. I Love You!
Shyneen & Mark– I call you the beggar. I know for some time you have been trusting God for so many things and I believe God is going to give you a marvelous testimony not only for you and your household but also the concerns of your children. Your prayers are not in vain, your fasting is not in vain, your praise is not in vain, you serving is not in vain; you will reap if you faint not. Now is not the time to give up or doubt God. His promises are YES and AMEN. Mark, thank you for capturing the heart of My Big Sis, thank you for loving her the way you do, you both have been the example and the standard of what FIGHTING and STANDING in a marriage looks like. Continue to strive to be the Man of God you’re destined to be. You both will never escape the calling, anointing and destined place God has for you. When you surrender fully, you’ll both see doors you’ve been awaiting to swiftly fly open. God has need of you both and you will reap if you faint not. I Love you both!
Linda & Sylvester – There are many names to describe you, between you and Tonia I often tell people you’re My Mom. That’s just how I see you, though you struggle with your own insecurities you’re yet so motherly, nourishing and caring. Andrew and Waliek has to go because I was your first child, I wanted for nothing, there was never a NO with you. I believe in my adulthood there is still never a NO. Big Sis, I have watched you from a little girl, you do for others that don’t even like you. Yes, you speak up and is so blunt at times but I see pass that, I get so upset with you at times because of the POTENTIAL and the POWER you possess that you keep running from. In this season of your life, I don’t want my Big Sis to just get older with time, I want you to grow in the knowledge of God, I want you to grow up in life and in God, think beyond you, this battle was never about you but the ones assigned to you. Why you think your FIGHT is so strong, because you’re chosen. God is going to fulfill every dream and answer every thing that concerns you, even the things you never talk about for this is the season of fulfilled Prophecy, things you were promised, things that were spoken over your life years ago shall be manifested but He’s going to first BREAK you, than He’s going to BLESS you, than give you to the people. Sis, we can’t afford to waste anymore time, WALK into your DESTINED placed! Many are awaiting your YES so they can experience the ministry you’re called too. Don’t let them die waiting on you because there are some things only you can pour into those assigned to you. There is no way you can walk beside My Brother in Love and not walk in destiny and fulfill purpose, that’s why he prays the way he does. He sees what you run from, He sees the fight but I tell you when you surrender, the world better watch out. Big Bro, Thank you for keeping my Big Sis grounded, thank you for understanding the misunderstood part of her, thank you for correcting her when she needs it, thank you for loving her etc. You are the epitome of integrity, you walk it, you live it and you eat it. We may not talk much but I watch your walk, I know there are still Men of God living this gospel. Keep on keeping on, I can’t wait to celebrate the next level of Ministry with you both. You both are called and chosen, God’s plan is strategically perfect it has already been written. You stay the course, continue to stand for righteousness, continue to walk in the authority God has equipped you to walk in. And for You to God shall answer every prayer and everything that concerns you. Be encouraged, God hasn’t forgot. I Love you both immensely.
Charles & Beverly – What is it about you that you fear if you fully surrender to God? There is something in God that you fear that you have not given God your heart and your will, I don’t know if it’s a good thing, bad thing or a dangerous thing. God has a way of getting our full undivided attention. Ask me how I know? Big Bro, I Love You more than you know and more than I show. I challenge you to grow up in God, I challenge you to surrender in this season. A few years ago, My Former Pastor called me up and told me God said our mother has sown enough seeds for her children, children’s children and her children’s children children to live in abundance. I know for a fact we will each live in abundance and live in the wealth our parents did not live in but has been waiting on you, God has somethings to say to Charles if he ever surrenders his entire heart. Beverly, Thank you for being the Sister in Love you are. We do not talk often but when we do it’s like we never missed a beat. Thank you for keeping my big brother grounded. Being married has allowed me to see God in a different way, marriage is beautiful, marriage can also be challenging at times, we as woman, God have ordained us to pray like never before, to cover our spouses in prayer, strength and love. I challenge you to keep on praying in this season of your life, don’t bend and don’t you break, Keep pressing in this season, God has not forgotten about you, God has not forgotten about the silent tears, the silent fears and the silent frustrations. He has been waiting on you and Charles to give everything to Him. There is nothing too hard for Him, I am telling you both, you will reap if you faint not. Beverly, there is so much power in you, God has graced you with for such a time, Push Sis, Press Sis, Fight Sis, Giving up has never been an option. You possess the power and authority to ASK God a thing and it shall come to pass. I am rooting for you all the way in North Carolina. No more hold ups and no more hold backs. It’s time now to go Forth in God like never before, God has so much for you both, He’s just been awaiting you both so that you can walk in it. Let it ALL GO!! I Love You both and am praying for you both.
Kim – So bold but yet a baby at heart. My Big Sis, our Mothers twin outwardly and inwardly. The Prophet! Not only have I been waiting on you to fully surrender but God has been waiting on you also. The Kingdom needs you, more so in this day and time. You have a heart for the people of God, though you take no junk, you still have a servants heart and whatever you find your hands to do, you do it. I have watched you growing up doing this in and out of the Church, SERVE. You have gifts and talents that have been dormant for entirely too long, that God is saying He wants to use. Even while writing this, I can see you crying out to God, saying “If you can use anything Lord, you can use me.” This is what God is waiting for and I certainly believe that before His returns your confession will be just that. I challenge you Big Sis, let God deal with all of you, give Him all of your worries, frustrations, hurts, fears etc. Let Him do what you cannot do in your own strength. Trust Him with your life and everything you desire. God has a purpose and a plan for your life, He has somethings He needs you to know, but He needs to find you in a posture for Him to reveal it. YOU GOT THIS! I am rooting for you, I have always been rooting for you. I Love You Beyonds words! There was nothing I needed or wanted from you that I couldn’t get, you always came through for me and you have your own children. I thank you for being one of the ones I could get fashion advice from and could go shopping in your closet. Thank you for all the talks, thank you for trusting me anytime you needed me to listen. I do not take those moments for granted, I cherish every one of them and I will take every conversation to my grave. Just like you trust me, God wants you to know you can also trust Him. LIVE Sis, LOVE Sis and LAUGH Sis. God is getting ready to cause you to LIVE, LOVE and LAUGH again.
Erick – How long will you keep RUNNING Jonah? There is something about Oglatha’s, Charles and Walter’s Kids, something unique, something special and before God returns we will each have walked into our DESTINED places. I can’t tell you how much I get mad with you because of the call on your life, because of the anointing you carry that is designed for you to WIN souls, the souls of your generation and younger. THEY ARE WAITING ON YOU! They have been waiting on you, I’d say to you also, are you willing to let them die waiting on you? There are some only you can reach, only you can touch, only you can pray for, only you can touch, etc. God trusts you just that much, to assign these individuals to your hands. I honestly believe you already know what a surrendered POSTURE looks like. You know that God is so powerful that surrendering would mean NOT MY WILL, BUT YOUR WILL God. Brother, the time is NOW, you too will never be able to escape the call of God. No matter where you land, what you find yourself doing and what you’re in, God still has need of you, don’t make Him, make you surrender to the call. I Love You Much Big Bro, It’s time now, these young men need you, let alone these young men in our family. Stop just talking about it and be the change you want to see. I can’t tell you enough how much so many individuals look up to you, can you imagine how each of them will follow you to the ALTAR, can you imagine what their posture would be if you surrendered yours. I am rooting for you, I mean it with my entire heart. Allow God’s will to supersede your will, His will is PERFECT. Remember this if nothing else, YOU’RE DIFFERENT!! I Love You!
Omar & Monique – My favorite times with you has been high-school and churching together. You’re the only brother that can call me DEEP and get away with it. Now you’re too cool, the last hug was when my husband and I purchased our home and you came to bless us. I didn’t want to wash anymore. That’s how much I always valued you, our relationship, how you protected me, how you would randomly call me and say what you doing, how you came to get me from NY when I got sick and you was concerned which made me see the heart you carry still remains. I was done with you too, but I understand how God arranges things. I had to grow up in life and in God to see that just because people do not talk as much as they use to does not mean they love you any less. Big Bro, I know you love me. THRIVE Brother THRIVE! Though by now I’d thought you’d be Pastoring but my timing isn’t Gods timing, His timing is PERFECT. I am glad that you endured and saw some of things you’ve seen because once God says go you’d know what to do and what not to do. The thing is, once we’ve been broken, treating people Gods way isn’t a problem. You’re so STRONG, very STRONG that at times it scares me, I say to you, you do not always have to be strong. I remember the times of you worshipping on your knees, A Posture, every man should establish. Keep that posture, it’s SAFE there. Big Brother, go as far as life will take you, one thing I found out we can’t do this thing called life in our strength. Every single one of us have such a call on our lives, I do not want you to live life and not fulfill destiny. Walk in the POWER God ordained you to have from a little boy. There are many waiting to hear from you, the REAL You. So I admonish you to Keep growing, Keep Standing, Keep Pressing, PUSH. Not just the youth of today but the youth in our Family need you, they need to hear the truth, they need structure, they need guidance, etc. Sis in Love Moe, I see you and I see PRAYER WARRIOR. God has need of you, He’s kept you through everything because of it. Thank you for having my nieces, Thank you for loving my Big Brother and helping make him into the man he is today. God has even more in store for you and your family, I say to you DON’T STOP PRAYING. Prayer is your assigned weapon, you’re the one that can speak a thing and it comes to past. Gifting is all in you and Sis God hasn’t forgotten about you, He sees and He knows. I already told you YOUR PRAYERS is what will get His attention about every concern, fear, frustration, question etc. you have. I did not forget that when you and Omar walk into your calling, I am buying you your first hat. THRIVE Big Sis and WIN. I Love You Both beyond words, I am praying for you both and I am right here rooting you on. You’re both ALIVE because there is more!!
Lakenya – My Little Sister, the one that holds a key to my heart. I love your very existence. I am so honored to be apart of your YES season. Yes to God and to His Will, Yes to Growing, Yes to Marriage etc. I am so proud to watch you become the best you, to watch you grow up in life and in God is amazing. You are a jewel, you are an access to the Kingdom of God, the power you possess is unmatchable, it can not be compared. Do not be afraid of what God shows you, this just means He can trust you with what is on His heart and mind. Go through this process and come out, there is so much on the other side of your YES. This process will condition you to go further in God, you can not be stopped no matter what comes and who goes. Go with the SHIFT Sister. Not everyone is equipped to handle this process you’re in, not everyone will understand your process and the decision you will have to make and not everyone will be able to even celebrate your NEW and your NOW. REAPING season is here and you will reap if you faint not. I am smiling for most days and crying for you on others, I know what it’s like to go through growing pains, to have to speak when you want to be silent, to have to forgive and to have to push when you want to hide your face. GIVING UP has never been an option, so go through and do not stop. Stay focused, the enemy knows he has no foot hold on you so he’s willing to use those closest to you, IGNORE THE DISTRACTIONS and again I say GO WITH THE SHIFT. I see you in the future, Millionaire, I see you in the future, Wife, I see you in the future, Prophet, I see you in the future, Scholar, you must do everything God told you to do, OBEDIENCE for you will open major doors. It is one of your greatest weapons. I challenge you this day Sister, to Keep Pressing towards the mark, I challenge you to allow God to continue conditioning you through this process, I challenge you to Keep Growing, it’s your time. Life has a way of making us feel like because of what is happening around us, God did not say it. You and I both know your assignment, at the end of the process, WE SHALL DANCE. Keep your head up and know I am here to continue protecting your heart and fighting for you in the Spirit and in the Natural. I Love You to Life. Be encouraged, do not be moved by what you see but be moved by what God says, for surely it shall come to pass.
Darren – Little Big Brother, you’re the one that no matter how old you get, you will sit with your sister’s for hours talking, reminiscing and just having fun. You have always want and wanted to see each of us WIN. I know without a shadow of a doubt when you get to be wealthy, you’re bringing each one of your siblings with you. That’s just the type of heart you have, your word is usually your bond, you never entertain drama but rather knows when to shut it down and correct it. You never discriminate, no matter who is it, you are telling them truth be it right or wrong. Simple, truth to help us grow and challenge our thinking. Big/Little Bro, I cannot tell you enough how proud I am of you, you was suppose to be the famous NFL player, but perhaps God had other plans for your life. That was not His will and even now God is waiting for you to surrender your will for His. I do not know what is it about Mommy and Daddy Kids that they just will not surrender to the call of God. We will never be able to escape it and as long as we keep trying we will still find ourselves in circles, repeating the same cycles and feeling like something is missing. I remember years ago you telling me you know God is real because you cried out to Him for financial help and the next day you received a $1,000 check from school. Can you imagine what surrendering would do, when I tell you God has so much laid up for us, we will walk in the wealth our parent’s did not walk into, that’s how much God has stored up for us. God is not slack concerning His promises (2 Peter 3:9). I challenge you Bro, go back to what you know spiritually, God has been waiting to hear from you. Everything you and La would ever need and or want is the perfect will of God. LaAdah, Thank you for helping my brother get grounded, you’ve proved to Him that the sky isn’t the limit, through everything you’ve faced you still kept striving and pushing. You too Sis, God has need of you, Can you imagine you and Darren both surrendering to God in this season of uncertainty, that’s all God has been waiting for. You Sis have the power within you to PRAY like never before for what you not only want God to do within your life, home, children, marriage but what you NEED Him to do. FIGHT Girl, God has a way that is mighty sweet. You too can not escape the power, plan and call of God. You married someone with a call on His life and He married someone with a call on her life. Success not only awaits you both but also wealth. God just needs to know He can trust you with what He has stored up for you. I Love you Both wholeheartedly.
Kanisha – The very same words LIVE, LOVE and LAUGH are for you too. God is so strategic, this is what He’s causing you to do again in this season of your life. Happiness looks good on you! Healing looks good on you! Love looks good on you! I am so proud to have you protect me the way you do, I Love you with my entire being and I never had to question your love for me. This is the season where you come full force, you already know what has been placed on your life, you already know what you possess on the inside of you, this next shift I believe God will give you instructions on not only your assignment but life in itself. I can’t tell you enough how much God has in store for you, His plan is not only to make you SMILE but to make you REAP, you’ve SOWN in tears now is the time to REAP in JOY. Get ready Prophetess, this is an assignment you will never be able to escape. There are a remnant of souls that you specifically carry a word for. I challenge you Baby Sis, Keep shining, Keep growing, Keep grinding, Keep smiling, Keep maturing, Keep progressing, Keep standing and the list goes on. That’s how much God has in store for you. I Love You!
Shontice – The thing I Love about you is that you go after something and do it. You may not finish it the first time around but I believe if you keep trying, if you keep pressing, if you keep pushing you will FINISH. This scripture dropped in my spirit for you Psalms 139:14 NKJV “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful I know that full well. Baby Sis, you moving to Florida wasn’t all bad and it wasn’t all good. I realized it forced you to grow up. You are beautiful Baby Sis, with the heart of Gold. God never intended for you live life in bondage, I say to you, Get your FIGHT back. You are not alone in this walk, nor are you alone in this FIGHT, you aren’t even alone in this thing called Motherhood, you have a village of LOVE that surrounds you. Know that you are a great Sister and Mother, you can and will do this and you do not have to do it alone. FIGHT Baby Sis for your peace of mind and for your sanity. I remember growing up in NY and being saved at a young age, I would not only play school with you all but I would also play church with you. When you got out of hand, I remember telling you that you was going to hell and one day Mommy said to stop telling you that because you shared it with the counselor and became afraid. I said all that to say, God do not go around looking for souls to place in hell, hell is designed for the sinner that refuses God. You know the way, you were taught the way and that’s why you were able to pinpoint the essence of hell not being somewhere you want to spend eternity. You will WIN! Our relationship in this season has been strategic, getting closer to you and you trusting me with you heart, I am honored! Thank you for having my nieces and my nephew, though we had little time with Him, we shall see him again but it will take you giving everything, even you over to God. You can not do this thing called life without Him. Be encouraged and STAND even when you’ve exhausted all your strength, God is right there to lift you up. I Love You!
Kareem – Though I never get to see you until we gather, though I never get talk to you until I need ask a question, your love is still felt no matter where you are and what you’re doing. You’re the brother that have to hug and kiss all over your sisters no matter how old you get. I Love that, not all of us are affectionate in that sense but I am and it does my heart good to know you have not gotten too old to Love on us. Kareem, you’re the baby and I know it has been hard on you losing Mommy, but now is the time to make her more proud. She is ROOTING for her baby, her prayers concerning you are not in vain. I can still hear her saying God I give all of my children over to you. You know the way and the good thing about God is that, we are always His, we may FALL and we may go astray, but God still Loves us the same. You too will never be able to escape the call of God. It is just who God called each of us to be, the example, the standard, the impact, etc. Don’t make God make you surrender. God has so much in store for you, there is nothing that you’ve done that God will not forgive, now is the time to RUN for your life and do not look back. I Love you and am always here for you.
Shanasia – I Love You Sis with my entire heart. There are many with a heart of Gold and a heart of God. You carry both, you are one that genuinely celebrates everyone, you are the one that behind your “I am so happy for you” is pure and real. Everyone might say it but not everyone mean it but somehow I find you to be so different. Your intentions are pure and I love this about you. I could be around you all day, sit and talk to you all day and nothing unedifying comes out of your mouth. God is pleased! I am not saying you are perfect but you carry many of God’s characteristics, to know you is to LOVE you. Thank you for being consistent in my life. I say to you continue to grow in life and in God, God has not forgotten about you, sooner than later He is going to fulfill every hearts desire, every concern, every prayer request etc. In this season of your life, DON’T stop learning and growing, allow this season to birth out of you the anointing you carry on the inside that is designed to WIN souls, that is design to encourage individuals to hold on, that is design to pour into other Women of all ages. You will be so successful in this lifetime, the half has not been told, patient in God will be of great importance and when His timing manifests every promise in your life, everyone you celebrated will be there to celebrate you. You are a GLORY CARRIER! Your heart tells a story that know one can take away from you and I am excited to see you in this next SHIFT. LIVE Sis, WIN Sis, Grow Sis, DO NOT SETTLE Sis, DO NOT get IMPATIENT Sis, your TIME is not NEXT, your TURN is NOW. I Love You so much!
Lachema – Every one thinks you are the shy one, but I am actually the one that is shy. There was a season of my life I used my Daddy and Mommy issues as being shy but I knew God was calling me to a place of healing so that I can operate in my fullest potential and do what He has called me to do. Big Sis, I believe God is calling you to a place of healing and wholeness. God cannot and will not fulfill our hearts desires until we be honest with ourselves and say we need help. He will not allow us to walk in our NEXT until we deal with our NOW. The reality is we all suffered with low self-esteem, insecurities, fear, doubt, worry, frustrations etc. but we must allow God to use it for His Good. Big Sis, be encouraged, before God comes back you will REAP, you will walk into your DESTINED and DESIRED place and before the dust settles God is going to make you SMILE. God is going to make GOOD on His Promises concerning you. You can not escape the assignment in you, You can not escape the anointing in you, you too is destined for greatness, you have so much in you that God wants to come forth and use for His Glory. This process you face, go through it, allow God to deal with everything you worry about, everything you fear, everything you desire, even everything you want and EVERYthing you need. It’s coming Big Sis, in this next season know that you will LIVE to see it HAPPEN. I Love You!
Tanika & Todd – There are so many others I could have chosen that our Mom adopted as a daughter and a Son. However; your conversations with her are unimaginable and they do not compare to the trust she placed in your hands and in your heart. Know one could have carried such a weighty assignment like you and Todd. I know you both feel cheated, I know there are still wonders and what ifs. But I had to learn God’s plan is so strategic and He really does not make mistakes. Your baby touched who he needed to touch in that short time lived. Mommy is not here to say Thank You and I do not know if anyone else has ever thanked you but I am the one that come back to say Thank you. You loved my nephew like your own. Through the years our families may not gather as much as we did in the beginning but deep down inside we will always be FAMILY. There is nothing anyone can tell me about you, Todd, Shakia, TJ and Lariah. WE are FOREVER STUCK in this walk for a lifetime through the good, bad, ugly and indifferent. I am rooting for you all! I say to you Big Sis and Big Bro, God has not forgotten about you both, God has not forgotten about the tears you’ve cried, God has not forgotten about the Prayers you’ve prayed, God has not even forgotten about the Praises you have given Him even when the weight of the hurt, frustration, lies, talks etc. penetrated your hearts. YOU WILL WIN! Hold on to what you know is TRUE, hold on to what you know is NOBLE, hold on to what you know is JUST, hold on to what you know is PURE, hold on to what you know is LOVELY, hold on to what you know is of a GOOD REPORT, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, mediate on these things, These things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me (GOD), these do, and the God of PEACE will be with you (Philippians 4:8). Protect your PEACE! I do not care who you need to protect it from, just protect it. Todd, Thank you! Man of God, keep pressing forward and continue to lead your family the way you have been. God is so strategic, this is the season He fulfills every promise He has promised you and your family. You worried, you cried etc. but even in that it didn’t stop you, your prayers or your praise. Know that God hasn’t forgotten about what He has promised you concerning your children, every last one of them will be successful, to the point of them telling you to come off your job and take note of this, you coming off your job means your assignment to carry the word God has placed in your belly can be fulfilled. You have a word for this next generation. You too will reap if you faint not. I Love you both immensely.
Many of you are entering into a season called YES. All God ever wanted was your YES. One of the best things I have done is when I wholeheartedly said YES to God. Know that the RAIN is worth the PAIN!! WALK IT OUT Family, let the old thing go so that the new thing can LIVE. I know some times what you see does not match what you heard. It don’t look like what God said. But WATCH GOD! You must hold on to what you heard until it matches what you see. Family, I believe in each one of you, we will be products of our parent’s prayers, we will be what others said we wouldn’t. I say to you all GROW UP, Grow in life, Grow in God, Grow in our relationship, Grow in knowledge, just simply GROW and don’t stop growing. Despite what others have said and or is saying WE WILL WIN.
Know that I am done searching for others to fill voids but through the good, bad, ugly or indifferent I’ll never be done with any of YOU. God gave me you all and I will cherish every moment with you, even the ones I have and had to grow up in.
