Ah, God. Restore. Deliver. Set free. Release the bound. Heal the sick. Rain down on us. Give us the peace that surpasses all understanding. Be with us. Love, we are looking for You. We are here. We are asking. Asking for many friends. Amen and Amen.

While you still can.

Sing.

Run.

Smile.

Work.

While you still can.

Love.

While you still can.

Live.

Laugh.

Beloveds, how could I have known that I would lose the ability to smile. All I can do now is to muster a shaky, crooked something or other.

How come no one ever told me that my mouth would snatch from me the ability to sing badly and lustily. All I can do  now is conjure up a shaky, crooked sounding squeal.

Ah, beloveds, I don’t begrudge you your ability to do these things.  I’m just hoping to encourage/exhort/admonish you to do things while you still can.

Don’t feel sorry for me. I’m so very thankful to be alive. Yea, tho I take exceptionally hard with me EVERYWHERE I go, I go with a song, on my tongue, from my crooked lips straight to God’s Ears!

Ah, beloveds:

Sing.

Write 

Run

Love.

Live.

Laugh.

Rinse.

Repeat…

While you still can.

Why are you in such a hurry, beloveds?

God: Why are you in such a hurry, beloveds?

Us: We’ve places to go, things to do, money to gather, and plans to make.

God: Why the hurry? I made the sunrise to greet you at first light

Us: We don’t have time for the sunrise. Shoot, we barely have time, for the moments, let alone the sunset that will soon interrupt our way.

God: Speaking of sunset, I waited for you there. I was longing to hear about your day. I missed you.

Us: We had no time for chitchat. We barely have time for bedtime preparations!

God: Speaking of bedtime, I couldn’t wait to tell you goodnight.

Us: We are much  too tired. Ask us tomorrow, God. We may find time then

God:

longing to be with you,
God

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Nuff said…He longs for you. You are  His Heartbeat, His Forever Love. Beloveds, you are ever:

On His Heart.

On His Mind.

Just a whisper away.

Loved fiercely.

Protected.

I love you and so does He.  Be encouraged. Where you goin’ in such a hurry, beloveds   Slow down. Smell the roses grown just for you. Enjoy the sunrise that awaits you.

Don’t rush. We’ll never get these moments again. Let me here from you. Share these words with someone. Life is short. Live. Love. Laugh. Rinse and repeat…

So, I have good news and WTH news…

So, I have good news and WTH news…

Would you believe I am back at the hospital. I may have had another stroke. I am about to go have an MRI.

SHHHHHHEEEEOOOOT!

Pray for a sista.

Wow, just had my six months Anniversary of the stroke Tuesday.  Fresh hell. This is  NOT funny, Lord.

I’m not freaking out. If I did have a second stroke, I shall keep it pushing. I eat hard for  breakfast.

Be not afraid, beloveds, as God has me, you, and all the hardheaded folk so we are all covered.

Be encouraged.

I went in search of my humor.

I went in search my humor. I found her underneath a bushel of pain. I replaced pain with joy. Then, added ten bushels, of joy. On top of joy, I added a billion dollops,  of thanksgivings. To top things off, I added a lifetime of Jesus’s love.

Ah, God.

Nuff said. I love me some You. Jesus, thanks for being My Bestie. Be much with me and my fellow man/woman/them.

Note: Ah, beloveds, be well this day. Enjoy your day. Grab ahold to your humor. You’ll need it to wade through the hard work. Find reasons to crack yourself up.

NOTHING has  been funny the last few weeks. I keep telling myself that I am NOT alone. I remember that my steps are ordered. I am protected. I got this.  So do you.

Being a piece of watermelon cracks me up. Being a sista, I can’t tell you how many times, over the years, I have been referenced by chicken and watermelon. I don’t take offense. I say extra prayers for the folk who don’t care for someone who looks like me. I say this purposefully to make even angry folks smile. They need love the most.

Let’s endeavour to love one another. Be encouraged. 🤗❤🥰😁🙏

I’m so very thankful and grateful to be alive. Be encouraged and proud of how far you have come!

We got this. Enjoy every moment. Especially, the hardest ones. You build your crown 👑 during these times, among the hardest of days.

Say it/them now.

Beloveds, what words have you been too afraid to say?

Say it/them now.

What words, spoken, in anger, do you want/wish you could take back?

Say it/them now.

What words do you wish you had the unction to speak?

Say it/them now.

What lies do you wish you could take back?

Say it/them now.

What betraying words do you wish, desperately, to fix?

Say it/them now.

What sinful words do you wish  you could repent?

Say it/them now.

What words, of love, that you found, caught in your chest?

Say it/them now.

What words, of reconciliation, do you wish, desperately, that you could shakily utter?

Say it/them now.

What hateful/harmful words that you have spoken do you wish, desperately to take back?

Say it/them now.

Ah  beloveds, we have all said words that ought not or that needed/need to have been said.

Life is short.

Say it/them now.

Don’t give in. Don’t give  up.

When life hits you hard.

Don’t give in. Don’t give up.

When you must walk alone.

Don’t give in. Don’t give up.

When friends  forsake you.

Don’t give in. Don’t give up.

When your faith gets tested beyond what you can stand.

Don’t give in. Don’t give up.

Whhem all you’ve tried ends in seeming disaster 

Don’t give in. Don’t give up.

Life is as we choose to make it.  Make it a good one.

God, hard was just too darned hard today.

Me: God, hard was just too darned hard today.

God: I know.

Me: I was soooo frustrated.  My aphasia is so bad, right now, that making calls were impossible 😔!

God: I know.

Me: Texting takes FOREVER!

God: I know.

Me : I wanted to tell the wide world to shut it!!!!

God: I know.

Me : I’m TOO darned frustrated to cry.

God: I know. Go ahead and cry. Then, try again tomorrow.

Me:

I want to stomp around and have a fit but I have physical therapy super early to beat the heat.

I fear that I have no uplifting words. I am too exhausted.  Somebody say something positive for all the frustrated folk.
