Do What you Gotta Do - Words of a CERTAIN Woman

The day after, four years ago, the next day, is very vivid.  Mom is gone, physically.  What now? It is the thirty-first day of the eighth month in the year R&R (ReCover and ReStore).  I found out, that when your mother departs from this life...your entire life changes.  No Regrets...I am glad I showed her love, glad I gave her flowers, glad I arose and called her blessed.  Most importantly, I am happy for her Words.  In one converstation my Mom had with a dear friend, this young lady was going through a very difficult life situation.  Husband had left, she had the children, the saga goes on and on.  She talked to Mom about all of it.  She spent at least thirty minutes sharing from her heart.  After she was done, she said, mother, what should I do, what can you give me from your ocean of wisdom and life experience to help me get through this?  I need a word, I need a plan, I'm listening.  Well, Mother Martha, this CERTAIN Woman, reached deep into the depths of her soul, she thought very carefully about how to share this priceless wisdom with my friend.  She opened her mouth very carefully to release the words that will mean life to my friend and she said, very, very, directly.....head shaking, brow wrinkled...hand pointing...she said these unforgettable words.  These words should be on a tee shirt, poster, they should help you in your everyday life.  These words can be applied to each and every situation, they can solve every problem.  She said....DO WHAT YOU GOTTO DO!!!!!

My friend said, that's it, all that I poured out, everything that I'm going through this is all you can tell me?  These five little words?  Mom repeated it and after it soaked in for a few minutes, my friend said, ok, I get it.  She realized that she could not focus on those issues, those troubles, because life is still before you.  Children need you, people need you, there is work to be done and a destiny to be fulfilled.  You DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO!!!  When you fall, get up, when you have to cry, go ahead get it out, but when all is said and do you DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO so that you can fulfill your purpose in this life.  It's not about what you have to go through.  It matters that you get through it and then DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO to accomplish the things in life for which you were created.  This life is simply a journey to eternity.  Don't get stuck on stuff, DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO to stay free and at peace to complete your Journey with no regrets. 

DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO...a lesson of wisdom from the Words and Life of Mother Martha Stanley - A CERTAIN Woman.

Day TWO

Greetings my friends, today is the second day of the first month in the year of Fullness and Glory. So many incredible things happening, so many memories still fresh in our minds. Looking ahead with hope and looking back with appreciation and gratitude because "I survived", some things that happened in 2008 should have broken me, but, as Lady Brown shared,they just bent me a little. My quesiton is always.....What Glory shall come of this? and God says....when the Glory comes the trial will seem so small.....it can even stand in comparison.....so, today .....please be reminded,......Glory is coming, and then another trial, but this is the only way we can move and grow and complete our purpose....FROM GLORY TO GLORY....hang in there my sisters, You wil be so impressed when you see the finished product. Share your Journey with us...and help someone.....What is your Testimony for His Glory? What was your great trial of 2008.....Cause we have left all the mess behind as we cross...

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 ...

Time to Emerge--come out into view

My sister-friends (and others), welcome to Springtime. It is the twenty-second day of the third month in the year R&R(ReCover&ReStore). Today, the spirit of God reminded me that many beautiful things will Emerge , have emerged , from the fire. The end result of the fire will be an amazing truth that cannot be denied. The fiery trials...there are many, but to each his own. My fiery trial is not for you and yours is not for me. God has chosen us all for a unique and divine purpose. He must get a return on the investment He made in us. He invested so much love, talent, power, anointing in us...and His purpose for our lives must be, WILL be fulfilled. Through many dangers and Snares, through mountains high and valleys low, through increase and lack, God is determined that the best of me, the best of you will emerge . Our best self will come out of all of this "stuff of life". This journey is not without purpose. The fire has come, has gone and will come again....
