Dear Mama

"Dear Mama"
"I give thanks to my God upon every remembrance of you," Philippians 1:3 (ESV)
The legendary artist Tupac, wrote an inspiring piece titled, "Dear Mama," to pay homage to his mother for playing an instrumental role in his life. He credits her for the reason he was the man he became despite the absence of his biological father. For many of us, we can share in the sentiment of thanking God for the blessing of our faithful and committed mothers.
How they cared and nurtured us from the womb, to the cradle, holding our hands while we ventured out to take our first baby steps, etc. No matter how mama prepared us for the time we would leave the nest, she always made it a point to remind us that she is always near. She will either call us just to say, "I love you," snatch you right before you stepped out into the street without getting hit by a car or spanking that behind when we got out of line, LOL. Mama rarely asked for anything but sacrificed a lot so that we could have the best of what she could give.
On this Mother's Day, we also remember many who have been called home to everlasting life but their memory lives on in and throughout the lives of their children, and grandchildren that will learn of her courage and strength. Never forgetting the nights she went without so that her children didn't have to go to bed hungry.
The nights where she prayed and trusted in the Lord to make ways out of no way. Early risings on Saturday mornings spent cleaning the entire house so that Sunday we could rest. And every child knows that the best place to be comforted was upon our Mama's chest.
We may attempt and try to repay her back for everything she has done for our family but all she ever wanted was that we do well in school, be productive members in society, treat others as we wish to be treated and stick together if anything ever happened to her.
Dear Mama, again, we will never be able to repay you for all that you have, and continue to do but a great way to start is by saying, "Thank you!" The Bible tell us to give honor when honor is due, "Mama, we love you and we thank God for every remembrance of you!"
Again, Happy Mother's Day!

I heard it said once that people don't evangelize because they are too concerned about their finances. Instead of concerning ourselves with our finances, we need to make our trust in God a priority. Outside of God we will never have enough or be satisfied: therefore, we ought to totally rely upon the strength of God who is our Source and promised that we would not go without lack nor seed begging for bread. I've tried God at His word. There was a time I needed $500 and God laid me on the heart of someone and said, "God laid you on my heart to be a blessing to." The "things" we spend time worrying about that would potentially take our minds off of doing the work of God, God is already working that situation out for you. You just have to trust Him and continue in the work while you wait for Him to fulfill that which He promised. Now, if you haven't accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior then these promises do not apply to you but are available because Jes...

Diamonds, Starting over can be a very humbling experience but one you should not resist. Its all apart of the process for God to make all things new in our lives. Being afforded the opportunity to have a fresh new start, or afforded the opportunity to blossom in a new pot of dirt speaks to both the grace and the goodness of God. Regardless of whatever your yesterday dictatated to you, the moment God allowed you to start over should keep your focus foward. You can't drive and arrive at your destination looking backwards. Besides, that chapter is over. Finished! Where God is leading you is full of promise and the production of fruit that will last. Get ready for your later days to be greater because you are no longer your past! Walk in the confidence of God knowing He will never lead you where He is not and  He has your best interest in mind! Be Blessed & know since you have a reason to shine (because God resides on the inside of you) let your light shine so that others may...

Taking It Lying Down!

Diamonds, What do you do when your being mistreated? Insults being hurled at you? People talking about you? Lie on you? Mistreat you all the while they tell you that they love you, are for you, and smile in your face; thinking of new ways to manipulate you in order to further use you to their benefit with no plans of giving you credit.  But God is awesome in that He will open your eyes to their evil and diabolical schemes toward you; it may appear that you are passively resisting but in the spirit, you are actively praying unto God regarding the situation. You are asking and inviting God into the situation; He is the One who is with you and will go to bat for you all while it may appear that you are taking things lying down .  There is no need to make it public because God has a way of making spectacles out of devils or the devils that some allow to control them. He did just that when His Son died on the cross at Calvary. He did not come down , all the while it app...
