3 times 3

I have been having an amazing few days. It's so funny how things can turn around so quickly. I am not sure where to begin so I will start from where I feel is the beginning. The beginning may seem like a long time ago but I will make sure it moves along fairly fast. I am going to take you back to 2006. This was a pivotal point in my life.
November of the year 2006 was the month that I lost my aunt. She was the person that kept everyone in the family together. When it was Christmas, Easter, New Year's or any other holiday or time for celebration we all knew where to go. She would make sure that everyone felt special for whatever their special occasion was. When she died it took everyone aback. Personally, I didn't get out of my bed or talk to anyone for three days after my dad called and told me she was dead on that Monday morning. I don't remember the funeral except that it was hard being there. I knew that things would never be the same in my family again.
Without her to speak to or go to, life seemed so empty. I needed to find something to help fill the hole she left in me. That wasn't easy but what I found was God. Jesus is the best friend a person can have. All you have to do is call on His name and He is there. It took me a while but as long as you are alive then it is never too late to find Him. Well, I know that God is real because I would trust Him for the littler things in my life. This thought and statement will actually fast forward my story to last week. The week of my churchs' anniversary.
Revelation Church of Word and Deed, the miracle at 418 Old Back River Road in Goose Creek South Carolina has done so much for me and my growth in a spiritual way. So, back to last week. During our first night of celebration on Wednesday, when the altar call was made I decided that I had a prayer in my heart but I didn't need to be at the altar to make it. The Holy Spirit was all over the building and I could make my plea from my seat. As I had my head bowed and deep in prayer, I feel anointed hands on my shoulders. Then one of those hands moves to my head and she begins to pray. Thank You God for Jesus because this woman, I did not know her, begins praying over me the same prayer I am praying for myself. That's confirmation! I said Lord thank You. I knew that He was hearing my prayer but on the third night the make the altar call; this time I approach the altar.
During our altar call one of the church ministers will come and place his hands on your shoulders and say a pretty general prayer for whatever you are asking to be done. That happens and I continue to pray my prayer. Lord, I then feel a new set of anointed hands placed on me. She places one hand on my shoulder and the other on my stomach. She proceeds to say the same prayer for me that I am praying for myself. That's confirmation! But wait, that isn't where my story ends.
During the close out service on Sunday I once again go up for the altar call. The preacher, from a visiting church calls me out and begins questioning me. I answer questions and he lets me know that with my faith my prayers are already being answered. That's confirmation! I received confirmation three times. Three is the number of divine perfection. To me this means that my prayer was heard and accepted by God through Jesus Christ, the sweetest name I know and the best friend a girl could have.
Now, I will not say what I prayed for because the Bible does tell me that if I go into my prayer closet and pray in private that my prayer will be publicly answered. God said it I believe it and I will look forward to the manifestation of this breakthrough so I can wait for my breakout.
Just wanted to share my testimony. God is love!

Whitney already told you

 Today I just knew that I needed to write a post.  Sometimes I know what I am going to write before I start, and then other times, I'm just winging it. There are plenty of things on my mind and I still don't know what my topic of the day will be. That is until I know what it is going to be. I look at the people in my life every day.  No, not physically but logically and some of the time emotionally. I come to the same realization every time.  First off, there is no such thing as coincidence, in my opinion. I believe that the family you are born into is based on many things, but it is never a mistake.  When you meet your friends, lovers and others, it is for a divine reason.  All things work for the good.  Not some of the time; all of the time. Now let me be clear, two things can and are usually true at the same time.  You can have a happy life and feel joy while still feeling sad over certain situations. The reverse can also be true where in you f...

Cafe Bustelo with a little cream

 I don't even think there is a phrase that describes the feeling that I currently have about my life.  It has been approximately, a year and a half since I have last shared.  The truth is that I have barely even written anything beyond a text message in that time.  For a while I called it writer's block but now, I know that is not a true assessment. The truth is more emotion and far-reaching than that would connote. When last we spoke I believe I was legally ending the worse chapters of my life.  Now, this is not to say that some good times were not had in that more than decade of my life, but the bad times definitely outweighed the good ones.  The lessons were a multitude with nary a time to rest really.  I am good with the knowledge of this at this point.  There has to be bad in order to enjoy the good; the night must fall in order for the sun to rise; there would be no way to turn left if you didn't have the option of turning right.  You g...

True Confession!

I have a confession to make. It's funny because telling a secret or making a confession is a very hard thing yet once it's done that weight has been lifted and you feel a little lighter. That being said confession is just good for the soul. I know that the devil is trying his best to keep me from obtaining my destiny and this confession is getting ready to shame him because he is a liar and he will not kill or destroy me. I am taking back the power I gave him in this situation. I just had a birthday and I turned 36. I love when my birthday comes around. This year was no difference. Actually, it was a lot better than it has been in years. Partially because I spent my day getting to know a new person in my life but mostly because I have been getting to know myself. This is my real-life confession. I didn't begin to feel good about myself until I was in my 30's--I was around 32 actually. I had the most negative self-talk a person could have. My self-esteem and self-imag...
