Obama begins his reign-the Dream has begun

In the Holy Bible, in the gospel Habakkuk 1:5 it says "Look at the nations and watch and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something that you would not believe even if you were told." The Lord spoke to one of his servants to let him know of the plans that were to come.

My Lord is a forever God, nonchanging, constant in all his ways. In the early years of Martin Luther King Jr. God gave him a vision and a dream. One that many deemed to destroy. They figured if they followed in the ways of their evil ancestors and kill the dreamer that the dream would be lost as well.

Genesis 37:19-20 "Here Comes the Dreamer!", they said to each other. "Come now let's kill him and throw him into the cisterns and say that a ferocious animal devoured him. Then we'll see what comes of his dreams."

In Martin's day his enemy deemed assasinating him would kill the dream, little did they know God had a greater plan. You see our Creator knows the future for he is already there as well as being in the present and the past. God knows the plans he has for us to prosper us and not harm us. It is his desire that his people would submit themselves unto him and become a faithful and worshipping nation unto him.

The Lord has chosen Barak Obama to be the continuation for Martin's dream! There are many who will play apart of this dream continuing to unfold. We must realize that this is not about US! It never was. It is about our Creator and savior Jesus Christ!! Let us do as we should in our part to assist this nation and the leader that Our creator has appointed. Let us appreciate the trials that have come before him, i.e. Bush... For if it were not for them we would not have hope for a better day.

Obama's campaign message was for Change and Hope. You cannot have either of these with out Faith. I can't think of a better entity to hav faith in other than having it in My Lord and Savior! Trust in the Lord and know that change has come and is still forth coming because he has allowed the dream to live on even in generations to come.

God Bless Barak Obama, his family, administration, this nation and the world as a whole!!
To God be the Glory...For his words are coming forth as pure gold!!

Peace & Blessings

STILL STANDING!! God's Greater purpose for me!!

When I look back over my life and see how God has brought me ... My soul cries out with praise!! Let me just share with you, I pray you have a minute. I was born on September 6, 1978. Shortly after my delivery of coming into the world the Doctor declared that I had viral meningitis. They told my mother I may not live long. I stayed in the hospital for 3months.. Then I had to be seen once a month for 6 months and then I was under the doctor's care once a month for five years.

Also when I was three my house caught fire and I was in the same room the fire started. Then again at the age of eight a second fire ravished my family's home. Once again I was in the house.. this time alone! While enduring all these things from the ages of 5-11 I was sexually molested! By the time I became a teenager I was very promiscuous in sex acts and I had low self esteem allowing boys and men to have their way with me.

Of course good things happened throughout this time as well. I maintained an A average throughout all my school years. Winning Spelling Bees, Honor Roll, attending honor classes in high school and Graduating in the top twenty of my class. God blessed me with a beautiful daughter in 1998 and another in 2000. Not every one is able to have children therefore I truly look at my seed as blessings from on high!

Even through all my trials and tribulations God kept me! He has a greater purpose and plan for my life. He allowed me to endure so that my life would be a testimony for others to see the GREATNESS of God in my life, cause yet I stand! Even now I must proclaim that grace, mercy and most of all the LOVE of God is what has kept me over the years. I had always been in church as long as I can remember back to the age of four. At the age of 28 I decided to start really living my life for God by any means necessary!

I began to study the word of God, pray more, assemble at a great church (Shaw Temple AME) for worship and walk in the life God had called me to. He has always blessed me and kept me but I have found favor in his eyes since I have begun to live a more obedient life unto him. I have been blessed with great spiritual friends, leaders and a great man of God in my life as my siginificant other! I realize now more than ever that my life's tests, struggles, obstacles, etc. are all just building blocks for me to become the great woman of God that I am and are yet still growing into.

I am thankful..very thankful! If you look back over your life I am sure you will find you own building blocks that were set before you to make you the person you are today. Well there is more to come... For Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord"plans to prosper you not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

God has already ordained your purpose in life it is up to you to choose it!
I am still standing for a purpose, and I choose to walk in the purpose God has for me... Be encouraged my sistahs and brothas and know that God is God! Walk in purpose..for this is the reason why God has allowed you to still stand!

Peace and Blessings
