Jesus My Rock -- Words of a CERTAIN Woman

Today is the first day of the ninth month in the year R&R(ReCover&ReStore).  Still sharing the words and wisdom of  a CERTAIN Woman and the legacy she left.  Still remembering Mother Martha Stanley.  Four years ago on this day, my siblings and I were surrounded by friends and loved ones as we were preparing for Mom's Life Celebration.  We often spoke about Mom's love of music and songs.  She sang in the choir and each song she sang had pesonal meaning to her.   One of Mom's favorite songs was "Jesus My Rock".  Jesus My Rock...she would open her mouth and sing...way up, somewhere beyond saprano...I Call Him......... Jesus My Rock.  With out a doubt, Mom knew that Jesus was her Rock.  She had endured trials and tributlations in her lifetime because she knew to run to the Rock.  The song says, I know He won't deny me, He always walks beside me...I call Jesus My Rock!!!

We have had the pleasure and pain of watching Mom go through many afflictions.  Later, in the last decade of her life, she had kidney failure and she lost her sight, but in the midst of her pain and suffering, Mom still said, I call Jesus My Rock.  She took the hits and the hurts, she endured the hardships as a good soldier.  And we found out, she did not call ghost busters...she did not call the lady next door, she said I call Jesus My Rock.   He was her Rock of ages...her lilly of the valley, her bright and morning story.  The wheel in the middle of the wheel.  Mom knew who to call, when man failed, she called "The Rock".    A lesson for us...we learned to call Him too.  We learned to run to the rock when life's pressure shook us to our core.  We learned from Mom, to cast our cares upon him and leave them there.  Mom trusted her Rock, she stood tall on her Rock and today, we know she is resting on that Rock, waiting for that First Trumpet Sound.

Do you know who to call to calm your fears and dry your tears?  Listen to the words of our legend and Call Him for yourself.  He will answer everytime.

I CALL JESUS MY ROCK...a lesson of wisdom from the Words and Life of Mother Martha Stanley - A CERTAIN Woman.

2017 - Epiphany & Authenticity

Part- 1, Page 6, Chapter 2017 - Embracing M.E. (My Eve-Olution)!  We have a brand new scene in 2017. Navigating through the various landscapes, habitations, atmospheric pressures have all revealed for me a clear view of my authentic self.  Looking in the mirror and actually seeing, speaking my truth and actually hearing it, in the most raw form and not offering apologies for that truth.  Arriving at this place required me to leave skin, blood and sweat as a sacrifice on the altar that resulted in a life altered, scene changed, re-arranged and now sustained. Today, there is gratitude, on this day, when the world recognizes and acknowledges the manifestation of my soul's lover, I too appreciate my own epiphany, when I discovered the incredible power within, I chose and will continue to choose, from this day forth to use it to the fullest.  I am now living in that free place, liberated and substantiated,  making every decision and reflecting on every area of this journey with clarity

Relections of the Son

My sister, friend, it is a beautiful day. It is the tenth day of the fifth month in the year R&R(reCover&ReStore). Today, I want you to be encouraged in the fact that you were made in the image of God.. you are a reflection of Him. You are the epitome of greatness and goodness, if you allow the relection to shine. You are more then your human mind can imagine. You are one of God's greatest creations. He brought you forth with a purpose in mind. Today sis, reflect on the goodness and mercy and grace of your father. Reflect on where you are and where you could be, where you deserve to be had it not been for the shed blood. The prioritized purpose of God to give you life, and a more abundant life. It is not time to regret...now is the time to reflect...react and run. Today is your salvation even closer than when you first believed. Reflections of the Sun, bring warmth to my face. Reflections of the son gives me hope and makes me smile. When down, I relfect on
