Only thing I can say is thank you! For being a healer, a protector, and a peacemaker.  And speaking of peace, I just had to share this. First of all I have information that I know will be useful to many people.  Why God has given me this ministry is because of my faith in Him. 

​When I am confronted with a trial or life threating situation, I always remember the word of God, (i.e.)(1) seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added (2)ask and you will receive (3) be still and know that I am God (5) in my Father's house there are many mansions (6) and on the six day He created mankind in His own image (7)the body has many members, but there is only one spirit, and (8) He anoints my head with oil, my cup runs over, surely goodness and mercy shall follow me, all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (9) and this just came to me as I am writing this; do not be only a hearer of the word, but do what it says, because if you only hear the word you are like the evildoer who looks in the mirror, goes away and forget who he is, but if you do the work you will be successful in whatever you do.

Now that I have given you some Word, let me give you some of my proof that it is beneficial to stay connected to the Lord.  And to know that he is with those He loves and is always working as an intercessor on our behalf.  Two weeks ago tomorrow I was diagnosed with "high blood sugar".  My initial reaction was disappointment and my eyes were filled with tears. I saw both my mother and father suffer the results of #diabetes. My mom died of stroke, and dad even though he lived to be 94 years old, the last years of his life was very painful, suffering amputations.

​Knowing all of the above, and even giving God the glory for previously healing me of cancer, I still found myself overweight, and ignoring the signs of diabetes, swollen feet, tingling leg pain, easy bruising and discolorations in my face and other areas of the skin.

When we are consumed with only our own selfish desires we can lose track that there is work to be done in the kingdom, in the house of prayer, in the body with fellow believers.  It was easy for me to ignore the signs as maybe something trivial because I was #exercising and playing tennis, not as much as I had in the past, but somewhat regularly.  But tennis in itself will bring out the worst in one. If  you are overweight and your feet are hurting and you are still thinking you should win, even though the person across the net is fit and lean, then that is a sign that you may be in denial.

​Another warning sign for me was I was not using the resources the Lord has given me for his benefit. The Lord was telling me, you can do better, and your emotions should be consistent with a person who has the joy of the Lord. The fact that  I was not happy, but just being satisfied with the status quo was not giving God the credit he was due for all the amazing things he has done in my past, present, and my expectation for the future

​Well, with all the #Obamacare news of reform and repeal, I thought I better get a check up before things changed for the worst.  So in the end number 45 has done something good by sounding the #trumpet and getting people's attention (the Lord works in mysterious ways).

​Immediately after the doctor gave me my test results, I was alone, getting into my car, going to the pharmacy.  With tears in my eyes I just sat outside the doctor's office for about 10 minutes.  I was about to call my husband when the fattest dove I have ever seen (probably pregnant with peace)  flew in to the grass just in front of my car.  God was letting me know, I was not alone, He was with me.  And the peace of God came upon me and I was able to think clear enough to make a short video that I will post here at the end.  I felt good about things until I got home and started taking my prescription, #Metformin.  I was given 30 tablets.  I could only handle 3.  I broke out with most awful rash I have ever seen in my life.

​This is why I know that this is God working it out for my benefit. And also this just brought to mind that it is (10) better to give than to receive. This will benefit my followers.  Some of you have not been diagnosed yet, while others may be suffering with outdated information and medications.

​Finally, I would like to share the information that I have researched and paid for, and applying to my health.  Anyone who has specific questions about my experience or need for updated information on diet, I will send to you as a gift from God.  I can tell you that it is a new way of looking at the problem and cure of "high blood sugar".  I am not a doctor, and I am not selling anything.  I paid for the information and using it at my own risk.  I do think it will work, for me.  I am very focused and will see my doctor within this week to get my levels checked again.  I have lost 9 pounds over the past 2 weeks.  Thanks for reading.  Isn't God good?  Yes, he is, all the time!  He is an on time God!

There were so many Black Writers before James Baldwin and after him starting with the early 1900's.  Just to name a few, W.E.B. Du Bois, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Langston Hughes, Richard Wright (Native Son, James Baldwin did the introduction on this novel), Ralph Ellison, Malcolm X, LeRoi Jones and others. 

Some of these #BlackWriters were our prophets. But just like everything was stolen from Black People, we also didn't know  God.  We didn't know Him good enough to rebuke or question the interpretations of the enemy. ​(Maybe the #BlackChurch needs to realize that every prophet does not have a pulpit, and we can learn from those who by their actions speak louder than words, and reach far more people than  those who do have one).

Several of these writers had large followings, and I believe their followers are alive and well today.  Some of them have become  skeptics who say I told you so nothing has changed, criminals who would rather steal or murder rather than put away their pride and work for a living, and those who are hedonistic in their life styles.  And there are many who have given up on the fight for justice and humanity.   They have buckled under the oppressions of the past and present.  We have been our own worst enemies.   The Bible teaches us to "gain our freedom if we can, but don't use our  freedom for evil. Don't be envious of men whose reward is in this world".  White people are not giving up their "shit".  But that doesn't mean we should give up. We need to keep our integrity, we need to know we are not fighting and dying just for the (evil desires of #materialism).

The same guilt, or virtue of seeing the evil being placed on Black People that led a few white people to let us learn of God and worship Him is still alive today. But it is not and will never  be enough to sustain Black People in the quality of life (#materialism) we continue to pursue.  And without any visual perception of an apology from whites or without a desire for something more than just equality with our worldly masters, Black People have taken their eyes off the prize.  It is clear that we are not willing to die for whatever it is we are pursuing, as we have never (with a few exceptions) initiated violence on white people as they have done to us. (They are willing to die for their positions, powers, systems, and possessions)  But we don't read and learn from our Black Experience. We don't believe the Bible.  If we did we would have soon realize that we don't have integrity.  We must be willing to die for what we believe. And the way to do that is,  start by dying to our own evil ways.  

The same hatred that sustained racism from the beginning still exist today.  And I personally think it is more, and or more complex, polluting everything. Baldwin grew up in the Church, but as a homosexual he fell out of the Church's grace. This is another problem that has gone unsolved (and has been here since the beginning. It is as if we are still living in the 30's, 40's, 50's 60's, 70,s, almost 100 years later. This is my conclusion, like the "Preacher" says in Ecclesiastes, it's all vanity. The most anyone can do now is love God and keep His commandments. God is still in control my  Black People. We cannot serve man and God too.

Hi Family, Friends, and all my internet connections. I hope everyone is having a blessed day and preparations for Thanksgiving Day are going ahead of schedule.  Holidays always find me with a lot of reminiscing and memories because of being away from my immediate family.  For those of us who don't have unlimited resources to just pick up and go whenever we feel like it, or in my case to give more to charity, I find writing as an outlet.  My faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is very dear to me because I know that if I trust Him I have everything I need to enjoy life and be satisfied with the riches He gives to everyone, like time, forgiveness for past wrongs, health, children and the responsibilities of parenting, the ability to offer kind words to a person who may be hurting, to share with the less fortunate, lame, or disabled.  You see at this time of the year I know there are so many that don't have a warm place to sleep, quality food to eat, fresh water to drink.  So my prayers and my faith are all I have and I am hoping that my words will somehow reach the ears and hearts of those people who have gained material riches to share with the less fortunate wherever you are.  My exhortation is not so much for the person that does not believe that "All things come from God, because He is the Creator of everything.  My exhortation is to my family "The Household of Faith". I go into a little more detail of the title of this post "Make my brother share the inheritance" at my #Wordpress Blog.  I hope you will go there because I think there is an important message for all of us especially as the Holidays approach.  We know that God has been good to us and it is only right that we honor him with obedience and sacrifices.  We need to give back to God by loving one another, being fruitful and multiplying the spirit of goodness.    #HappyThanksgiving Everyone!
