I love praying, expounding on The Word of God, reading, writing, poetry, softball, bowling, going to the movies, spending time with my husband, family and friends.I love fashion, being pampered, shopping, styling hair and interior decor.
Music ministers to my heart and offers healing. I love music. So, I have to be careful about, who I allow to minister to me through music. Some of my favorite artists are those who can testify musicly. Someone who can tell me of storms in their life and how god was the raincoat or shelter that protected them until the storm passed. Bishop Paul Morton, Byron Cage, Donnie McClurkin, Fred Hammond, George Huff, Isreal and New Breed, Juanita Bynum-Weeks, John P. Kee, Joe Pace, Kirk Franklin, LaShun Pace, Shekinah Glory, Smokie Norful, The Hawkins Family, The Williams Brothers, Trin-i-tee 5:7, Vicki Winans and Yolonda Adams. There are times I get tempted to stray. But, I stand firm and know that what I am listening to feeds the spirit housed in this body.
I watch alot of movies. If there's a movie advertised and I wish to see it. I will see it the same date it's released. I own so many movies. I could open a rental store and name it The Early Bird..... A movie has to have a moral for me to watch it. Like Gridiron Gang, Akeelah and the Bee, The Other Sister, Blood Diamond, DreamGirls, Radio, I Am Sam, Phat Girlz, Nanny McPhee, and Madea's Family Reunion. Some of my favorite movies are: The Color Purple, The Wiz, Pay It Forward, Boyz in the Hood, A Woman called Moses, Miss Jane Pittman, A Raisin in the Sun, Madea Family Reunion, The Dairy of a Mad Black Woman, and The Gospel of John. I get the surround sound ready, gather together my snacks and remote control, turn off all the lights(SHHHH) and ACTION!
I love (TV) family shows that teach values and how to deal with children this day in age.... My Wife and Kids, All of Us, According to Jim and Reba.I also like TV shows that stimulates the mind. Boston Legal, Close To Home, ColdCase, CSI Las Vegas, CSI Miami, CSI New York, ER, Gray's Anatomy, Heroes, House, Kidnapped, Law and Order, Law and Order CI, Law and Order SVU, Shark, and Without a Trace.
I love to read insightful books. Books that broaden the mind and inspire me not to give up. To press forward no matter what the obstacle or trial maybe. Books such as.... The Color Purple, The Bluest Eyes, Sweet Bye Bye, Casting the First Stone, On The Eighth Day She Rested, Boaz Brown, The Bible, Black Girl Lost, A Long Way From Home and Many More by Diane McKinney, Jacquline Thomas, T.D. Jakes, Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyers, Jaunita Bynum-Weeks, Kimberla Lawson, J. D. Mason, Morrison, Valarie Wesley, Zane (some.. Heatseekers, Addicted, and Nervous), EJD(some.. Friends & Lovers, Sister Sister ETC..... The Mind is a sponge be aware of what it absorbs.
Jesus and My Mother.... Jesus because he is my guide. Be ye chirstlike. God came in the flesh(Jesus) to show man (human), that we can live seperated from a sinful nature as he did.My Mother because.... She is a strong woman who instilled in me values of life, self-respect, morals, and dignity. Family is everything she would say to me as a little girl and family is what you make it. Follow Jesus, as long as you do you will NEVER go wrong. You may lose friends but, know that everything in life has it's season. You don't buy friends or try to be something that your not and what ever you be, be the best. Don't be afraid to let people see who you really are, beautiful inside and out. Be a leader not a follower. Material items don't make a person, knowledge and wisdom do. Self preservation is the first law of nature. Charity(Love) begins at home, how can you love someone else if you don't first love yourself? They(unbelievers)talked about Jesus Christ, so what makes you better then him? Know who you are, you are not what you're called but what you answer to. The only guarantee in life is GOD, his love, and his promises trust this. Lovely
