The Purpose, The Praise and The Position

I see that I have been afforded another day as midnight is here. I am remembering some of my yesterday challenges and thanking God for His opportunity of listening for today. I am getting close to reaching my goal of seventy two (100 words) blog during my seventy second year. These pictures are Scriptures for my wellness, my praise sharing of my advocacy and resources at the Linda Faye Cancer Awareness Banquet in 2017 and my most recent position of service at RLC.  I am convinced that God is not through with me yet and I wait for direction.

Sympathy And Sitting In The Front Pew

via Daily Prompt: Sympathy  

I am at the close of this September day. My family and friends have been very kind to call to offer sympathy because this is my GirlMic’s date of birth. She died two years ago on September 1, 2015 and they have called to encourage me and share pictures of the beautiful life she lived for fifty one years. I know offering sympathy is one of those times in life where words are never enough so I share this family picture to offer my sympathy to the many people who will find themselves sitting on the front pew.

The Blessing: A Dignified Delight for Survivors

When I get with survivors and hear their awesome stories, there is a dignified and delightful atmosphere. I heard truth telling as I sat in the University of Memphis Holiday Inn listening to women and men discuss how their purpose was born out of their experiences in the cancer community.  We received beautiful  gifts at the end of this wonderful Komen Survivor  luncheon. We were blessed and  I am glad I was able to encourage and cheer these dignified survivors who shared their victories. One of the highlights was meeting my table mates and seeing the smiles.

Why Synchronize Wy? It is Time to Fly!

When God gives me a picture blackout to remind me of His Majesty and Splendor through Scripture, sun and moon, I must pay attention. It is with Inspired Gratitude that I complete this 100 words.  When I wake each morning, God lays out my apparel of purpose and He makes it as simple as I need it to be to complete tasks which include the Fruit of the Spirit. Today I completed my Joy Book that I received from my protege, Deener. I  always must acknowledge that when she chose me to be her mentor, she helped me learn to fly.

Daily Prompt: Portion: When People Meet

via Daily Prompt: Portion  When people meet, they come with many stories inside of them. I share this picture because I  met this beautiful May lady of grace and family. We are both celebrating  our # 72.  We spent a portion of my “Celebration Memories” fundraiser and she and her family gave a donation after our meeting less than thirty minutes. I wanted to write and give a testimony of how the Lord positions people to come together and form a bond of purpose. Mrs B. Isom and family poured into the memories and passion of a stranger to make a difference.

Memories in May: My GirlMic and #72

https://goo.gl/photos/9Qtn8MLdeDf78cw67     I accomplished a dream and vision even after a high wind came through our city.  I have been planning this memorial celebration for my #72 for months and then many in our city lost power and I had to rearrange  the event but I was able to share the memory of Leslie with family and friends. I had a memorable weekend and I am full of joy which I would like to share in these one hundred words. My daughter , GirlMic died on September 1, 2015 after a diagnosis eighteen years before and we will always remember her in our storytelling opportunities.

Eighth Day: The Heritage of Education

via Photo Challenge: Heritage   My heritage of Education is my focus eight days before Celebration 72.  I share that the formal education that I have pursued comes from my love of reading and writing.  I still remember my first grade teacher at Magnolia School and her words about the importance of being educated. I was always drawn to teachers who shared their self, soul and spirit to help me achieve my education. I keep pictures from several of my College/ Universities graduations on my Vision Board. They range from 1972 AD, 1984 BSN and 1991 MS.  They represent my love of life long learning. .
