Captured by Memories

They say it will get easier. Losing someone you adored from your life. I can't believe it's been 3 years since you last sung happy birthday to me. The pain I feel today is even worse than the pain I felt when you went home to be with the Lord. And to know that my grandma, your daughter went home the year before you and my grandmother went home a year and 4 months after you at times it overwhelms my soul.

Today is that day, time. When I feel all alone.. but I know that God is with me and my family and some friends yet I still feel stuck in the sunken place .


What I do know is that I am an overcomer and I overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony! I thank God for being my Comforter when out the blue a memory of my great grandmother singing to me pops in my mind and I go find the video and my emotions get the best of me.


If there's anything you take away from this and I mean I pray that you do, know that even the strong ones who are there for everybody can become weak. Who helps them? When they are the ones helping everyone. To that I say let the weak say I am strong. I am strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Even the motivators and the encouragers get tired. Are you checking in on them? Many are the afflictions of the righteous but God delivers us out of them all


Know that you are more than a conqueror and that God is for you.

What I know is that there is power in being able to change your thoughts and shift your atmosphere. It is okay to have your moments of sadness. Don't allow yourself to let sad thoughts rent space in your mind. Think the thought then switch the subject. Don't stay long in that moment. Think about how you are prospering and succeeding because Christ has redeemed you from the curse of the law.


All is well. I just love and miss my grandma Carolyn, My grandmother Ma, and my great grandmother whom is singing in this video to me, Ma Ethel Payne. Thank you for being my cloud of witnesses. Thank you Lord for keeping me. I do this to give God the Glory and I do it for them Amen!

Shift the Atmosphere

I will be one of few people to make this declaration: I am not perfect. However, I am confident that God perfects all that concerns me. With each and every day that I am blessed to be a part of, I kn
