Mini challenge
Nov 20, 2008
OK, so I am putting myself up to a challenge. I live in Smyrna, GA not far from Kennesaw Mountain. It is a HUGE mountain that many hike up and visitors go to see. Well I have never hiked anything in my 37 years so I am going for it y'all!!! I want to meet this challenge by the end of January and have set a date of the last weeked in January...January 31st. Wish me luck...and prayers of course.
I also want to extend a hug to my friend 1love...she is a trooper y'all. EVERY morning at 5:30 I get my call...let's go! LOL...if you want to exercise but have not started yet, get a partner that will stay on you. Trust and believe, I do the same for her. :)
God bless...

How can you tell me I can't be...who? ME? Seriously?...I am because of He and She and WE collectively!!! Our minds are greater than any has ever imagined...our voices soft but strong. Are we wrong??? To want to get along? Come one...come all...come STRONG.

As we move into the dawn of a new day, I pray for President elect Obama. I ask that the Lord watch over him, keep him at peace, lead his thoughts and actions, cover and protect him, move him in a mighty way and watch over his family and decisions. In Jesus name...
I am overwhelmed with excitement on this, a new day. All I can hear is Patti Labelle's song "It's a new day" in my head. As an African American, I can truly say that there is a feeling in our communities and families that can only be described as peace filled. As I listened to the acceptance speech last night, I froze because it hit me...all at once...that history has been changed FOREVER!!! The land that was built of the backs of slaves has been returned to the very ones that, through blood, sweat, pain and tears, built this dear land that I love. God is good and we are blessed. I know that we have elected the right man to lead this country and that from this day forward, we can say we witnessed a miracle!
God bless America...land that I love. Stand beside her and guide her, through the night with the light from above. From the mountains, to the valleys, to the ocean white with foam. GOD BLESS AMERICA...my HOME...SWEET...HOME!!!

BLESSED...HIGHLY FAVORED...BLESSED...HIGHLY FAVORED...
Nov 02, 2008
OK, this is how I feel today! I am thankful for my family, friends, surgery, this page, my job, car, home, dog, just life. It is so good and God is good and...well I am happy. It has been a longtime OH fam. I know that I can kick an uplifting word up in here but to be honest, I have been in a serious funk for a while. Here is the short version of my testimony...
Back in 2003 I was married, I relocated, left my church, family and friends back in VA. All in the name of love. I wanted to be with my husband but I never thought it would spin me in a downward spiral like it did. I went to the doctor back in '04 and was shocked to hear him say I was suffering from depression. He said it was the kind caused by change/shock. My system was not reacting in a positive way to all that had transpired. So there I sat, I didn't do much...I enrolled in college and by the grace of God, I graduated but somewhere there was just something missing. The joy!!! Now I was going to church every Sunday but I still was not there. I felt I was in the wrong church so I visited others often, there was no structure to my life and the dr said I needed to leave the area before it got worse. He said that because he already knew that is what was causing my misery. I had never lived in an area that was majority white, gone to work and been the only black person. I have never had NO friends to hang out with, and it caused problems both in my marriage and in my soul. I thank God that He intervened and we moved to GA and now I feel great! I have met wonderful friends, joined a bookclub, exercise everyday and I feel blessed.
I shared this because I know life is not always easy and sometimes you might want to give up but when you do, just know that God is in full control and He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you. He loves you more than you will ever know or can even begin to imagine. Thanks so much for reading ALL of this (I know it is long). God is good and I am thankful for each and every one of you. :)
