The Supplier The Multiplier

 For the service today, Bro Jonathan Walker preached a sermon on "The Supplier The Multiplier" His main text came from Genesis 22:16-18. True to Bro Walkers form, he preached from the Old Testament to the New Testament to bring his sermon fully together. I did take notes. I strongly suggest you listen/view the sermon on your own. You can view it here. Before I do my best to share my notes, I want to first express my excitement over the fact that after two years of our Thursday night Bible study lesson being online, we are finally coming back in person. April 14th will be the first in person Bible Study at Bethel. There will be a new starting time and it will be 7:30pm.  I have always loved Thursday night Bible Studies and I am so happy we are coming back together again. If you want more information, it can be found in the Bethel App. Church today was wonderful. It was even more special because my good friend's The Prather's were sitting with me.  They were in town for Eleighna's Bridal Shower. Her mother and I go way back and she was one of my first friends here in NY, she was also there when RJ was born and the first to hold him. She has since moved away and it was just really nice to be with my friend again. Bro. Walker's sermon resonated within me today.  I grabbed ahold of it and plan to hold on tight to it in the days to come. In a world of chaos let us direct our attention back to the supplier and multiplier of our life, Jesus. We will have seasons where God sustains us. He will supply exactly what we  need. He proves himself to us during this time. When you trust and obey God during this season, a moment will come when all of a sudden He changes from the supplier to the  multiplier. The season you are in shifts and everything changes. God brings what seems to be impossible to pass. God does who God is. We take off our garments of disappointment and we put on the armor of praise.  God will send you a divine appointment even when it's something you are not wanting or expecting. When he does this, walk in it an obey it. The result to this is God stepping into your life and changes your season. You go from knowing Him as our supplier to knowing him as your multiplier.  In Ephesians 4:17-24 We read that we are called to be the light of the world. We can choose to walk in joy even while we are in the season of supply or wear garments of despair.  We are walking into a new season. It's time to put on the garment of praise. Walk in the joy of the Lord is your strength. As you do this, God will begin to multiply your life. Fear Not. Move forward into this new season God has for you. Even if it's not what you at first expect, obey and trust as you walk into your new season. God is good.

The Sound OF Freedom-My Story

Image
 The Sound Of Freedom was released into the movie theaters on July 4th 2023. A friend made me aware of it. I decided to watch it. It's based off of a true story of a brother and sister who were rescued from child sex trafficking. This is not a movie you take young children to. I do strongly recommend that every person who is old enough, to go and watch it. This is very real and it's happening in your world. I think it's time we wake up. Why is this so important to me?  Let me tell you a little of my story. My birth dad abused me as a child. He was also a part of a drug trafficking ring. He was also a part of child sex trafficking. He did this all while being a faithful saint and minister in the church. When I was in 5th grade, I started fighting back and slept with a baseball bat by my bed. He decided he didn't like that and one day he picked me up from school and took me for a very long drive. This was before cell phones. He didn't say a word, he just drove. Eventu

One Month

Image
 RJ and I have officially lived in NC for one month. The people here are very kind and nice. Southern food is absolutely delicious. I can easily find a good place to buy a delicious taco. Coffee places are aplenty. It’s been wonderful to reconnect with old friends and even more wonderful to make new friends. Soon, I will start teaching and RJ will enter into 12th grade. We are currently looking at colleges. I can’t believe we have come to this stage in life. We miss our friends and family in NY. We especially miss Bethel. Our new church home is a gift. I am so thankful for them. Slowly NC is starting to feel like home.  God is good.

When Grief Rolls In

Image
 Grief can rise from the most unexpected times and places. In December, it will be a year that our beloved Sis. Vickie went home to be with the Lord. She has been on my mind a lot lately. Today, as my son and I were cleaning the church, he asked me about washing the baseboards in the foyer. I had a playlist playing on my phone and as he asked, the song changed to a song that Sis Vickie often referred to believing God was going to heal her of ALS.  I just stood in the foyer, mop in hand, and tears started streaming down my face. I remembered finding her on her hands and knees cleaning the baseboards so that it would be clean for a Sunday service. I remembered getting on my knees with her to help. She taught me almost everything she knew. She was going to teach me how to remove the light bulbs from the ceiling, but we never got around to it. She loved Bethel. She prayed fervently for the saints who filled the pews. She wept for those who no longer attended. She taught me how to forgive a
