Epiphany of A CERTAIN Woman

I have the P.O.W.E.R. to Move..it is the twenty-seventh day of the ninth month in the year R&R(ReCover&ReStore).  I am moving, with the P.O.W.E.R. that has been vested in me.  I am moving like  the spark that was left in the ashes.  You can see it there, you know that if you just "stir it up" a little, the entire flame will return.  The most important thing is to  KEEP IT LIT.   Don't let the spark go out.  Due to the elements in the atmosphere, maybe moisture from your tears, maybe cold from that last experience, maybe when the air left you, the flame died out a little, but there is that spark.  KEEP IT LIT .  If the spark is there it means there is always hope for the flame to return.  The old wood stove required a little kindling to be restored.  It sometimes required that the wood be re-arranged.  Wow, God sometimes allows us to be moved around, out of our places of...

It is a blessed day, it is the twentieth day of the ninth month in the year R&R(ReCover&ReStore).  I am so absolutely blessed today.  This week has been amazing, this year has been incredible, this life, is truly worth living when you know where you are.  I continue this journey of life, experiencing some things that I expected and some things that I didn't expect, but the knowledge that they all work out for my good is my blessed assurance.  I am reminded that I am EN ROUTE to my purposed destination.  So, what that means, is that if I have not yet arrived there...the place where I am presently is temporary, because I am EN ROUTE.  This time and place is "only for a moment", fleeting, passing, while I am on my way.  So, I am encouraged as I travel.  I am confident that I am EN ROUTE to my purposed destination.  I work while it is day and ensure that each day is spent wisely.  I value my time and talent and am not waste...

Greetings Friends, Family and Foes, it is the Fourteenth day of the Ninth Month in the year R&R(ReCover&ReStore).  My word today is LET IT FLOW .  After finally getting up the nerve and energy to Move, it seems that doors begin to open, ideas begin to come like running water.  I think that sometimes we get "constipated" with the stuff of life.  We allow things to clog up our "system" and we need a release.  We need to get a dose of something that will open us up and allow a free flow of our rivers.  We need to just LET IT FLOW .  Allow yourself to dream, open up that stream that will flow to the river of dreams that you put a stopper in and LET IT FLOW .  Those rivers of ideas that you kept a secret because you did not think anyone would take you seriously, LET IT FLOW .  The reservation has been lifted, step out of the shadow and into the light... LET IT FLOW , your promises, your hopes and aspirations... LET IT FLOW ....

My Sisters, friends and foes,  it is such an amazing day, time, opportunity.  It is the eighth day of the ninth month in the year R&R(ReCove&ReStore ).  I am blessed to know today that the  Reservations have been lifted.  It seems to me, that sometimes, while on this life journey, we have to take our "true self" and put her on Reserve . Webster says reservation is the act of keeping back, witholding .  Why?  Maybe because some other activies take precedence, it is not the season for that part of you yet.  Something happens, a transition of sorts, somewhere between the fortieth year of life and beyond that I believe we are are motivated to cancel the Reservations of our " true self".   No More Reservations on your thoughts, your actions, your desire to take the limits off.  No more Reservations on your realizing your dreams and aspirations.  No More Reservations on recognizing that you have more to o...

Today,  four years ago today, we bid my Mom's physical body farewell.  Surrounded by friends, family and loved ones, we gave our final salute to our legend.  Today, on this seventh day of the ninth month in the year R&;R(ReCover&ReStore), I celebrate her life.  I salute her one more time, I arise and call her blessed.  The life of a CERTAIN woman who impacted the lives of so many.  A woman who loved the sound of music, who loved people, who loved to love.  One of her favorite songs was Since I met Jesus, a favorite scripture, Psalms 121- I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills...  Today, as a memorial to Mom, I would love to hear some of your memories of Mom, Mother Stanley, A Certain Woman.  Post them on facebook or send an email....Thanks Mom for the Memories...and all the lessons!!!! Momma Mels Memories are below...TODAY IS………….…..; REJOICE & BE GLAD!!!! I TOO AM IN REMEMBRANCE OF MARY MARTHA, MY F...

Greetings to all.  We are still remembering Mother Martha .  On this day, four years ago, we were looking at her earthen vessel, as we prepared for her "Going Home Celebration" to take place.  All in white, the body had expired, but the soul is resting for that great gett'n up morning.  I am filled with memories and reminders of a her every day.  Looking in retrospect at the life of Mother Martha Stanley forces me to look introspectively at my own life. Today is the sixth day of the ninth month in the year R&R(ReCover&ReStore). My mother was a woman who would help you pursue your passion, your dream, she would encourage you to accomplish your goals, no matter what your situation, she said you can .  She told us the story about the little ant, who wanted to climb a rubber tree plant, everyone doubted, but he had high hopes.  My Mom had more than high hopes, she had ...

My, my, my, I have laughed to tears and cried to  Laughter with the memories of my Mom.  During this time, four years ago, we were making plans for her earthen vessel to be planted in the earth.  It is the Second day of the ninth month in the year R&R(ReCover&ReStore).  There is so much to remember, one thing for sure is that God, really does have a sense of humor.  My Mom, during her season as mother, wife, friend, adult...did not play with us too much.  She had so much of life things to do, she did not really spend alot of time laughing and joking.  But, we were in for a real surprise during the last decade of her life. It was almost like God allowed her to transition from a hard place in life to a season of simply joy and laughter .  When my Mom lost her sight, she took it in stride.  A few months after losing her sight, my Mom was diagnosed with kidney failure.  This was a hard blow.  It took her down for a littl...

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 hav...
