Merry Christmas

December is here and in my life, it’s been the month God has shown Himself strong on my behalf.

Especially in 2020. I’ve seen comments about people being ready to hurry up and get to 2021.  We still have twenty-four more days for God’s glory to shine! Think about it: you’ve made it this far into a year that has had our heads turning and spinning very which way. That’s praiseworthy alone! Hallelujah!

Connections

About two months ago, I pulled out a book I’d stashed away for a couple of years titled Heavenly Places by Kimberly Cash Tate.  As I sat under the drier (one should not be under the dryer without a good book) and began to read, I quickly became immersed in the story line.  I finished the book in record time and took the liberty of e-mailing this newly discovered author.  I explained in detail how richly blessed I was by this book.  Prior to reading her book, I’d been feeling a longing in my spirit to experience something different when it came to showing and receiving the love of God. I wanted to move past my skin color and enter a desegregated world of honoring, loving and worshipping the Lord.  God placed the desire in me so I knew it was a matter of time before He gave me my desire.  Never did I imagine that two months later He would expose me to a world of women from across the nation dedicated to supporting each other through her blog.
My first impression of her blog was “Wow God! Is this what it’s supposed to look like?!?  I love this!”  With each passing day, I become more acquainted with women who support, encourage and talk like we’ve known each other for years.  Some have even shared personal issues, issues they might not have otherwise shared with anyone.  No matter the topic, God is ALWAYS honored and exalted.  It’s such an honor to see what GOD is doing through technology and I praise Him for this beautiful thing called a Divine connection. What Divine connection are you thankful for?

New Dawn

She and I have this nickname game. First started with N.A.M., expanded to 'maneater', warned her prey but they didn't want to believe her, not until it was too late, and the only difference between me and the "Crocodile Hunter" was he got his stuff on tape, melodic voice, sensual smile that drove men wild, to the point that they couldn't contain themselves, an outer shell hiding the secrets of a woman scorned, born not to know, not to show emotion, because once you're open, you're vulnerable... and that's when they can hurt you, that's when they get control, battered and bruised her soul, 3/4's from being whole but the quarter had a hole in it, still tried to spend it, had to get her hustle on, raise 3 children alone, moans turned into cries, cries into weeping, endured for more than one night but the morning light cleared her sight and she saw herself, for the first time, through HIS eyes, and what

To Be Loved

It’s been a little while since I’ve put pen to paper. Over the years, I’ve written mostly about my journey to healing and my victory over relationship failures. Today is no different. Six years ago, unbeknownst to me, God started me on a journey that has absolutely changed my life. “Tam, this is Chris. Chris, this is Tam.”   As we’re standing there being introduced by his sister-in-law, who was also the newly married bride, my mind had already shut down the possibility of anything ever happening with this gentleman. I had been through decades of hurt and my guard was on high alert. We exchanged pleasantries and I returned to my seat with the expectation that I would not see this man again. After all, I was only asked to meet him. As the wedding reception progressed, I was elated at the fact that I would soon make my exit without so much as exchanging phone numbers. I gathered my children and prepared to leave. I looked up and saw Chris coming across the room headed straight for o
