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

Merry Christmas To ALL!!
Wow! Its that time of year when we celebrate the coming of my Savior. The day he entered into this world! He came so that we might have life and have it more abundantly. Although society would have you believe that Christmas time is just about gifts, family and food, that's the contrary. We should be taking this time to remember Christs coming and daily prepare for his return. Life is short but filled with an array of events. You only get one life on this side of Jordan where you will be able to choose whom you will serve.... Jesus Christ-Yeshua, Alpha & Omega-I AM, Lord of all...
I know we're all entitled to our own beliefs and when we take time to think truly about why we yet live.. We have to be honest with ourselves and realize that it goes beyond just us and our humaness. I just want to be able to say unto my God that I spoke of him to all I could in this life. So that when my judgment day comes He will say unto me well done thy good and faithful servant! Well Done...
Don't just take my word, search the Living word for yourself..Get to know God and Christ for yourself..See won't it make a difference in your life. The Bible says oh taste and see that the Lord is good and his mercies endure forever...
Well as for me and my house we will serve the Lord, Christ..Always!
Hebrews 11:1-3 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.This is was the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand the universe was formed by God's command so that what is seen was not made out what is visible!!
Peace and Blessings

Brian Nichols Case in ATL~Capitol Punishment-The Death Penalty ...For or against?
I have always been against capitol punishment! Although I know there are some instances in the Bible where the word speaks of an eye for eye etc. But we live now in a different Era of laws. For those who are not familiar with the case of Brain Nichols of Atlanta I have inserted some information from Wikipedia Encyclopedia... I was truly touched by this case from the beginning, always feeling there was something peculiar about the whole thing.
My prayers have been answered and Brian is not facing the death penalty anymore at this time. He has to serve life in prison! he can still be tried in the federal court system though. I feel deeply for those who lost their family members in this tragic incident but I do believe Brian deserves a second chance..WWJD? Anyways I pray that this brother be released from all demonic spirits and that his soul be surrendered unto God. I pray that he seeks the face of God and gain salvation so that he may have eternal life.
I know it may seem a little strange coming from me... but I truly believe in unconditional love and I have had to endure some similiar encounters against my self and loved ones, but not until death. But detrimental enough to cause emotional scars for a lifetime and for those who caused the pain in my life and my loved ones lives I pray for them even still. I have forgiven them and moved on to what God has for me...
I believe It is truly impossible to live with such hate and malice towards one another. I know we are all human and of course we are allotted to our feelings of frustration and anger but there comes a time when we must walk in the way of the Lord. I know this is easier said than done but this is my take on it. May the Lord continue to bless all those who have been affected by this case. I pray that they may gain peace, understanding, and comfort in their time of need.As for Brian every day he still yet lives he has an opportunity to get his life right with God.......
Wikipedia Entry:
Brian Gene Nichols (born December 10, 1971) is known for his escape and killing spree in the Fulton county courthouse in Atlanta, Georgia on March 11, 2005. Nichols was on trial for rape when he escaped from custody and murdered the judge presiding over his trial, a court reporter, a Sheriff's Deputy and later a Federal agent. A huge manhunt was launched in metro Atlanta and Nichols was taken into custody 26 hours later. The prosecution charged him with committing 54 crimes during the escape and he was found guilty on all counts on November 7, 2008
What little is known about Nichols' early life is that he came from a middle class family.
He attended the Cardinal Gibbons School[1] in Baltimore, Maryland until 1989 but he did not receive a diploma. He attended college at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, for three semesters from 1989 to 1990. While attending the college he played linebacker on their football team. Nick Pergine, who played football with Nichols at Kutztown, said Nichols' massive physical presence and martial-arts skills earned him a reputation as someone to be careful around. Jake Williams, who coached Nichols at Kutztown, compared Nichols' physique (6'1" and 210 lbs) with that of NFL star John Mobley, who also played at the university.
Berks County records show that Nichols had been arrested at least three times during his short stay at the university. In 1990, he was charged with terroristic threats, simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment, stemming from an incident in a university dining hall, according to court documents. He pleaded guilty to the two lesser charges and the others were dropped.
The next year, Nichols was arrested twice in a month for criminal trespassing, misdemeanor criminal mischief and disorderly conduct. Those charges were later dropped. After his brief stay at Kutztown, Nichols went to Newberry College from 1992 to 1993, and played football there. Athletic spokesman Ryan Gross said that during that time Nichols was kicked off the football team for stealing from a dorm room.
After dropping out of school, Nichols moved to Georgia in 1995. He worked for Hewlett-Packard for eight years, as a UNIX systems engineer.[2] Nichols last employment was working as a computer engineer for a logistics subsidiary of Atlanta-based shipping giant UPS. Company spokesman Norm Black says Nichols joined the unit in March 2004 and left in September 2004, which was when he was arrested in the rape case.[3] According to his brother, Nichols earned a six-figure income and regularly attended church. He was arrested after being charged with the brutal assault of his former girlfriend of 8 years after their break up. After discovering that she was dating Chris Rowell, a minister from their church, Nichols forced his way into her home, bound her with duct tape at gun point and raped her. He was charged with rape, aggravated assault with intent to rape, aggravated sodomy, burglary, false imprisonment and possession of a firearm during commission of a crime. The first case had ended in a mistrial with a hung jury. Nichols had told people in the courthouse "I'm not going to go lying down" when he learned that he would be retried. Nichols’ friends warned the DA’s office he might try to escape and one friend told prosecutors that Nichols planned to escape and asked him to leave a credit card in the pocket of the suit jacket he would wear to court. Nichols mother also emailed the Fulton County Sheriff's Office to tell them she believed her son may try to take an officers weapon.
The retrial began the next week and the tension heightened even further 2 days before the crime spree when deputies escorting Nichols from the courthouse to his jail cell noticed something in his shoes. They found two sharp "shanks," common jailhouse weapons fashioned out of metal which possibly came from a door hinge. Nichols also taunted Assistant District Attorney Gayle Abramson and Assistant District Attorney Ash Joshi during the retrial by saying "you're doing a much better job this time" and he was apparently aware that his case was going poorly. The actions prompted Judge Barnes to have a meeting the day before the escape with counsel and he asked for extra security during Nichols scheduled testimony that Friday since the prosecution in the rape case had planned to call its last witness that day and jury deliberations were upon him. Nichols would have faced life in prison if convicted...end
Brian was sentenced to life in prison Friday December 12,2008

The Streets are Calling me!! Whats Calling you?
You ever felt like every where you went somebody knew your name...Well I had that going on for me alot back in my worldly days but now so much more than ever... Now that I am saved. Although now they are calling my name because of who my Heavenly Father is...They see God in me and are drawn to me by his presence.I am so grateful to God for his spirit that lives within me...for the word in Psalms 91:15 says He will call upon me and I will answer him, I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him...Isaiah 43:7,9 says everyone who is called by name, whom I created for my glory whom I formed and made..all the nations gather together and the people assemble...
God has called us and we have called upon him and still can at any given moment.. I have realized that when you become a servant of God you are called upon just as much to do the will of the Lord. It is his desire that no man should perish. It is our mission to reach as many lost souls as we can. Encouraging our brothers and sisters in this journey along the way.Not only on Sunday morning or during the holiday seasons but every day of our lives...
The streets are calling me and I can no longer ignore what my Savior has instore for me. I have professed to be a Great woman of God and now it is time for me to walk in my calling. I have no fear and I know that Most High is with me always. His rod and staff comforts me. Although I will walk through the valley and shadows of death I will FEAR NO EVIL!! I shall run this race with much faith endurance knowing that it is won by the one who endures to the end.I know where my heart lies...Whatever you cherish in your heart you will allow yourself to adhere to and become one with. I cherish My Heavenly father, My Creator, My Savior...
What Has God called you to that you have not answered to? Open up to him he will lead you in all things if only you would surrender yourself totally unto him...Mind, Body, and Soul!
Peace and Blessings
