Fight For Your Life (The Journey)

      Have you ever felt like you just can't get a break? You know what I 'm talking about, all that  could happen does happen! Maybe it was a loss of a love one or struggling with finances or like me,  SICKNESS! There are many times when we find ourselves in situations we feel like is unbearable.You just want to say the heck with all of it, curl up in a ball and Give Up but wait, you can't you have people that count on you, that love you, are you crazy!      I will never forget the day that my I found my self by myself with my three children heartbroken  loving a man that no longer loved me. I remember like it was yesterday, here I was sickly, a first lady, and now a single mother. A part time job, no money, and days to move out of my home that we bought from my family. I remember knelling down beside a bed that I always wanted it was a mother of pearl, and crying like a baby. I called my pastor and told him what had happened and he took the time out to pray for me. I

     I was not going to say anything about the unfortunate events of last Saturday as racist rallied in Va. However, I was looking at a live stream on Periscope and begin to see all of the hate for people of color and racist remarks that were being typed to the black female that was clearly saying to her followers that not all white people hate African Americans. The live stream got heated and they began to then also include hate for the homosexual community.My heart was saddened because of the ignorance in our country.  Can I be real with y'all? Racism comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, and creeds. I had the opportunity to take a trip Hawaii and I have heard stories of the natives not liking white people. I have been around  my own family members and heard racist comments from the older generation that dealt with colored schools and integration. I have heard racist slurs between Mexicans and Puerto Ricans. I said that to say this, I know that all of this is wrong! I know that all

     When you were a child did you have something that you were afraid of ? When I was a little girl there was a huge magnolia tree in our yard and the branches reach way over the house. I had a big room with a big window. There were no blinds back then only the sheer curtain in the middle. I was so afraid to sleep in that room! One night, I was asleep and a big storm started and woke me up. The wind started to blow real hard and the tree limbs began to move mannn it looked just like a monster! I started screaming and my mom came in the room to get me. I may of been five at the time. She told me there was no such thing as monsters and showed me it was only the shadow of the tree.She could not of been more wrong! There may not be imaginary childhood monsters like the boogie man, but there are monsters that we face everyday! I would like to introduce you to one of them that has taken so many his name is Cancer and he wins some and loses some; so we must be on the look out and FIGHT!
