Summer 2010

I suppose I should give a short background on who I am. Okay....From the ages of 1-18....all I thought about was me.me.me.me .me. 19--35...me.me.me.me.me. Then at the age of thirty-five I met my Phillip. My love. I usually just call him Daddy. That's when I started to get the concept that the whole earth didn't revolve around me. I was a late bloomer..(in that area)....saddly it took a few more years after that for it to really sink in. And I'm sorry to say that it still hasn't sunk in completely. So that's me, for the most part.

I have always believed in God. But if you didn't know me very well you most likely would not have known this about me. I didn't live like I was a believer. I would pray all night and half the day for Him to show me what He wanted me to do with my life. For years I did this. Then... during the time I wasn't praying....I was out ...basically doing whatever made me happy....not giving much thought to whether it was pleasing to my heavenly Father or not. I always read my bible. I loved to read it. I believed everything it said. So why could I not figure out what my heavenly Father wanted me to do? Why was I not hearing from Him? Okay, I did say a short background didn't I? The gist of it is that one day my heavenly Father let me know that I had to LIVE like I wanted to serve Him. How could He send me out as His ambassador (i read that in a book....that we are his ambassadors and have always liked the sound of it) if I didn't live the way he wanted me to. He then gave me specific instructions to follow....like start praying for my neighborhood (of whom i didn't know many ) We are white......my community is black and until that day I thought never the two should meet. It's not that I didn't like my community....I just didn't know them and they didn't know me. I didn't really think they wanted to either. He changed that after I started praying. Quickly! Soon I knew just about everyone . He was giving me a chance to serve them as well.....laundry....grocery shopping.....you name it i was doing it . Someone said.....It's great to be a servant of the LORD.....until they start treating you like one. True That! These pictures are some of the people that have come into my life in the last five years. There's much more, but I did say the short version. I'll re-live things along and along, but for now just know that I'm writing a book about Jesus and how he works in the lives of people. The first book is on the black male.....complete with pictures and scripture. I'll be blogging about working on this as well as how it has changed my life! DAILY it changes my life! So for now know that we in the southern United States are enjoying summer....Hot Hot summer. WE (Daddy and I) are in the possession of our wonderful God-children! For most if not all of the summer. So far we've done nothing but cook....swim.....eat....and watch the cake boss and man vs food ......over and over again. When will I work on my book this summer? I'm not sure!
