December 31, 2018
As I bid goodbye to 2018, I thank GOD and I look back on lessons learned and the accomplishments I have made.
I have accomplished some lifelong goal in the past two years. God has blessed my girls and myself with some wonderful people in our lives who have become our “Village” and “Our Tribe.” In 2018, they have seen us through and prayed with us through some tough times in our life. They have also celebrated, applauded, remembered, and honored along with us. Never any judgment only love.
We celebrated Michael’s 50th Birthday with a “Thank You Dinner” for our village.
In 2018, I have stepped out on faith and started some new and wonderful journeys. I have discovered my own voice, navigating, and finding my way as the LORD plans the course for the rest of my life. I have said good-bye to more friends and family than I wanted too, but I take joy and I praise GOD knowing they are all in capable hands.
I have also added to my family when my 13 Line Sisters (14 M.I.L.E.S To The Crimson DynaSTy) and I were initiated into the illustrious sisterhood of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
Therefore, it is with bittersweet regrets that I bid adieu to 2018, but I cannot leave without mentioning some of the “Blessings in the Storm” I have navigated in 2018…
In 2018, I have discovered that:
I have chosen to come “Out of the Darkness”and live in and with the LIGHT.
I will “Never Ever, Give Up”, because God is in control and HIS grace and mercy surrounds
me.
“There is Good News” I have the joy of the LORD in my heart and I am never alone.
Because the LORD is in my life and my heart, I know that “It Is Well with My Soul”
Life is so short, and tomorrow is not promised to any of us so don’t live in regrets, “Love Hard”
God is amazing and His love is unconditional “He Is a Mighty God”
God has great things planned for me and I am ready, so “Fear is Not in My Vocabulary”
I am learning to overcome the obstacles of my life and my past because I know that “I Am a Survivor,” and I know that with GOD I can do anything because Christ gives me the strength.
“Dear Future, I am ready” I can, and I have the right to be excited for the next phase in my life.
“God is in Control” of my life and I have no reason to fear it!
WELCOME 2019
We have taken some knocks and obtained some bumps and bruises along this life’s road, but we still stand strong.
We have walked through the valley of the shadow of death, but we continue to be victorious because, we know to whom we belong.
We will never give in and never give up on what the Lord has planned. We have given HIM all things and placed them under his command.
So come on in 2019 we are not afraid of you, We will wait, watch, fast, and pray to see what the Lord will do.
Family and Friends, all the ones we hold dear, We pray that you have a Very Merry Christmas and a God Blessed New Year! (LJL)
I love you all
Have a Blessed and Prosperous 2019!
Blessing in the Storm
