In my youth I felt invincible, nothing was to hard or challenge to difficult for me to tackle; friends became family and family became friends. Mother would say” teeth and tongue may fall out, but; they need each other.” This taught me a valuable lesson, no matter what happens between mother and child, siblings, and other family members; at the end of the day if we don’t have love and forgiveness we open the door that will give power to the ruler of darkness.

I never thought I would reach 25, but; I did. It was not because I deserved it or was a person who made no mistakes. My mistakes were many and many of my decisions the wrong ones to make. My secret weapon was a praying mother, strong supportive sisters and brothers who were willing to fight my battles for me if need be. I never thought after searching for love in all the wrong places I’d find the love that mattered the most; love that sacrificed for me, forgave all my mistakes and made me feel like a new person.

I never thought I would see 50, but; I did, my life enriched by friends from childhood who still walk the pathway of life with me, sis and brothers in the faith that lift me up in time of trouble, knowing without a doubt my family and heavenly Father love me unconditionally. As I cross another threshold I never thought I would be granted the love of family and friends that have graced me with their presence to celebrate another milestone in my journey.

I never thought I would see 76, but; I did and the love that was showered upon me has made this a very special transition for this is the day the Creator whispered my name into the universe and I came to be. So grateful for my Fathers love

My revelation as I sit by the pool of grace
