About Me
I am a 34 year old wife (I Love You Smokey)and mother of 3 (Cebron 16, Cebrina 14 and Laderrion "LJ" 3 years). I am employed with the City of Dallas and have been for the last 11 years. I have 1 sibling, Karlos (I love the you more than you will ever know, remember that). I have been married for over 7 years and yes I married my high school sweetheart. I love him more than he will ever know. I have been living my life for the LORD for the last 8 years. My inspirations are knowing that when I leave this earth I will get to see My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ face to face along with my mother (I really miss my mother and I hope that she knows that, I have always loved you Moma), grandmother (I love and miss you Moma Lena), father (they say you never miss what you never had but that's a lie), aunts (I love and miss you both Aunt Ida and Aunt Francine), uncle (Rest in his grace, Uncle Carl), brother-in-law (Brody you were truly an angel that God blessed the Rakestraw family with)and all whom have gone on to be with the Lord before me until we meet again, rest in God's peace.People will never know that my Moma meant everything to me. On January 30, 2007 she left us to be with the Lord it hurt me to the depths of my soul but I knew that all of her pains and fears were no more. She often told me that I was going to miss her when she was gone and I took for granted that day would surely come. Well, Moma you are certainly right because I often pick up the phone to call you, I often daydream during the day as tears began to well, I call out "Moma" when I need you to hear me and I long to see you again. I try to keep my hurt to myself but sometimes the pain is just too unbearable, so while i'm driving at times I find myself very emotional about you leaving us, you fought as hard as you could to stay with us but God said no more. I LOVE YOU AND I MISS YOU SO MUCH.........God has granted me more than I could have ever imagined this far in my life and I know more is to come. I have been elevated in HIM and that is a great thing, everyday I strive to be a better me in HIM. God keeps on blessing me. I am grateful. I give HIM all the praise because without him I have absolutely nothing. God qualifies the called and he also maintains what HE ordains,THANK YOU, JESUS.God, is really doing a wonderful work in my life. He has really begun to trust me with more. He has elevated me in every area of my life, in my church, in my home, in my marriage and on my job. The world is mine in 2009!!!!
