About Me
found this flowers layout at HOT FreeLayouts.com :: MyHotCommentsGreetings from the City of Fountains and the home of the Kansas City Chiefs. I am a lady full of purpose, character, and integrity. I am saved and I know I was created to worship God and to give Him glory! My favorite scripture is Jeremiah 29:11-13.Some words others have used to describe me are: Intelligent, Annointed, Beautiful, Family Oriented, Courageous,Outgoing, Strong, Fun, Passionate, Sincere, Loyal, Intense, Goal-Oriented, Self Motivated, and Encouraging among many others. After spending some time in "my space" you might agree or other words might come to mind.A few of my favorite things are: PINK ROSES, THE COLOR BLACK, LARGE BODIES OF WATER, TRAVELING, SPENDING QUALITY TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS, ETERNITY BY CK, READING, ENTERTAINING, SHOPPING, COLLECTING EAGLES AND BLACK ART.In the words of the poet Langston Hughes, "Life for me ain't been no crystal stair." But, as Dr. Maya Angelou so eloquently stated it, "I am a Phenomenal Woman!" I have great character and integrity which I feel are two of the most critical ingredients in leading a healthy life in every area: physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. Thanks for stopping by my place. I trust that when your visit shall come to an end that you are encouraged, inspired, and renewed.In April 2002 after what I thought was just being exhausted from leading such a full (busy) life, I passed out in the Drug Store and life for me has never been the same! After four months of being critically ill (and misdiagnosed more than once), I was diagnosed with a disease called Disseminated Histoplasmosis. The disease attacked four of my major organs and metastisized like a cancer. I spent four years in the fight of my life. I had to undergo too many tests, proceedures, and operations to tell. The treatment to "buy me some time" as my doctors said with such ease included going to the hospital seven days a week for a 2 1/2 hour treatment and swallowing many narcotic pain killers like I was drinking water(for pain management).I was unable to care for myself or my daughters. I did this for four and a half years. At about the three and a half year mark my medical team (which included six doctors from one of the best hospitals in the Midwest) began telling me that "Medicine is a practice and they were so sorry but there was nothing else they could do for me because my body began rejecting the medication." From day one saints all over this country was praying for me. There were all kinds of special prayer services held on my behalf. And I am a witness that the prayers of the righteous man/woman avail much!Here I was, 33 years old (in the prime of my life), loving and serving God all I could. And all these dctors kept telling me was to "make sure I had all my business in order and that I had made provisions for my daughters." In utter devastation I turned my face to the wall. After having been sick for so long I became physically exhausted, spiritually unstable, mentally drained, and emotionally spent. As the result of living with a terminal illness and dying a slow and painful death, a spirit of suicide attached itself to me. In my distress I begged God to just let me die. But after having tried to take my own life on three different occasions and waking up every time I came to the conclusion that GOD must have a real purpose and plan for my life.My bedroom was filled with cards and letters of well wishes from people who loved me all over this country. Knowing my love for music, my family kept praise and worship music playing softly in my room. And even though I was physically unable to get out of bed on my own, the Lord knew the sincere desire of my heart. In my flesh I cried out "Let me die" but in my spirit I really wanted to live.Then, during a normal conversation,there was a special word spoken to me from God (through my First Lady, Mother Mary K. Sims), and instantly I knew she was speaking what God gave her to tell me because the situation she spoke about I had never shared with her! Her words were simple, yet so profound. She said, "God told me to tell you when you when you let him go, He's (God) going to heal you." The word was one of correction and conviction. But, I heard the voice of God and instantly my position changed. There was a shift in my mind, heart, and in my spirit. I went from waiting on God to heal me in anger and frustration to crying out for forgivemness and saying sincerely, "Whatever it takes God, I just want to see your face. Even if You choose not to heal me (I'm okay with that now) just don't let me die in sin. Though this battle was manifested in my physical body, it was a spiritual battle all along. And the devil intended to kill me! One of the prayers prayed on my behalf was "God you know how much she loves you and how she longs to worship you. God, heal the worshipper in her!" And God began to honor that request.The lessons I learned in this experience are too numerous to list, but please hear me when I tell you that disobedience to the will of God does not go unnoticed. The most valuable lesson learned is that salvation is free, but the annointing and favor of God cost! It is not just enough for us to wait on God, but more importantly He is concerned with HOW WE WAIT.I know now that God's will was to heal me all along but because my spirit was so broken I waited in anger and disappointment. I complained and cursed the circumstances I was being faced with. It wasn't until my heart was fixed and I determined in my heart/mind that even if God chose not to heal me...I still loved Him, and that I was still able to bless His name. It was then that my miracle came. Six months after that day, GOD completely healed my body! And today I am walking in the divine favor of God. When you see me, please know that you are looking at a miracle! The doctors are still amazed...I enjoy the simple things in life like a good thunderstorm (my favorite kind of weather), the sound of crashing waves, a beautiful sunset,waterfalls and the like.So when you look at me just know that while you may not know my entire story and you might not really understand my praise...my worhsip is for real! I can't help but love the Lord. And I am totally committed to Him.
