Church today

It was good. Sabbath School was about seeing the great controversy in Daniel. I sang Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus for special ( apparently Atonte has got me on the singing roster). Then the Pastor spoke about NEWSTART for a healthy body/marriage/church. My interest was in his evangelism thrust. For 10 months, the church will be planning a program for the community once a month. Now, I thought that this was interesting because I was wondering how I was going to be a part of evangelism here, being that I am a part of the minority in this community. Well look at God! Sometimes I envy the eagerness/willingness that others have for evangelism and I wonder why I do not have the same desire... Well, I'm doing it anyway!


I other news, my hair is super neglected. I'll be conditioning tonight, possibly all night. Right now, it's a very old, very stretched out twist out that I haven't retwisted in days. Can't see myself pushing this hair past Sunday. In fact, I'm kinda wondering how I can start conditioning now before the seminar tonight. Can't wait for the seminar.YAY!How to Die Right and Live to Tell About It

Wonderful Children

Bless my heart! Their ruder than when I first believed and ridiculously bright. Too bad intelligence does not mean wisdom. Can you believe this child in front of my face decided to kick another child, make him cry and think that it was OK for her to do that? She has lost it. Then, there are those who think their too smart to listen to any adult and they find joy in talking back to adults. Did someone say corporal punishment? No I would never do that... Any who...the Lord is good who promised, and these children do not determine my happiness. Praise Jesus! Keep my lips from guile Lord!

What is Kwanzaa?

I thought that it should be important for me to do some research on Kwanzaa before I went all full throttle Kwanzaa mode. Kwanzaa is a holiday created by  Maulana Karenga . While secular in nature, it does celebrate the cultural heritage on Black people in America. The Seven core principles of Kwanzaa are: Umoja  (Unity): To strive for and to maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race. Kujichagulia  (Self-Determination): To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves. Ujima  (Collective Work and Responsibility): To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers' and sisters' problems our problems, and to solve them together. Ujamaa  ( Cooperative Economics ): To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses and to profit from them together. Nia  (Purpose): To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to...

Testimonies Part 3: Boring Testimony Please!

My friend and fellow volunteer teacher, Mrs. Lawrence is a doll. She was telling me the other day about a retreat she attended in which a lady mentioned that she wanted all her children to have boring testimonies. She explained that boring meant that they don't leave God to have an adventure in the world but they spend their whole life serving God. Isn't that what we all want for our children? Safe lives? Let me not downplay the testimony of someone who never dabbled in worldliness or was enslaved to sin. It's not boring. Being used by God is a good thing. We're so warped and twisted that we think the world has something better to offer. So we go out in the world, waiting for God's "big reveal" and then if he does, we devote the rest of our life to Him. But if we don't get that "big reveal"? Then our life would be a testimony to the power of the Devil. Personally, I like working for God and to know I'm in His will. It's assuring a...
