We had eulogized him. And it was difficult for me. I had to throw the blanket in the casket. I had to close the casket. I had stand up and say "earth to earth, ashes to ashes". I had to preach the message and drop him off at the cemetery to be buried. But the Sunday after that, I went into the church and everybody was functioning. They were functioning normally. The ushers were where they were supposed to be; the deacons were where they were supposed to be. And I was standing there thinking, "What's going on? Don't these people see that I'm in pain? Don't they see I am hurting?" Then I said, "God, I'm not preaching today. I can't do it. I don't think I can make it." God said to me, "Marvin, there's something you need to understand. Although your father isn't with you physically, I will never leave you nor will I forsake you. I will be with you always even until the end of the earth." Then I walked into the pulpit with my Bible. When God began to assure me that He was there for me, I stood up. I grabbed the microphone and started singing, Never Would Have Made It...The song came just like that; the whole entire song. I started singing, "never would have made it, never could have made it without you. I would have lost it all, but now I see how you were there for me and because of this, I'm stronger, I'm wiser, I'm better, so much better. And when I look back over all you brought me through. I realize I made it because I had you to hold on to." It came out just like that. Needless to say, I didn't preach that Sunday. I can't even sing that song at my church; I can't. We've traveled all over the nation and I sing it everywhere. It really wrecks every church because it's simple; it speaks to everybody." </em><br /><br />The entire article can be found <a href="http://gospelcity.com/artists/interviews/319/Page4">here</a>.<br /><br />Indeed, the song does touch many people, however, the one phrase in the song "I'm stronger, I'm wiser, I'm better" spoke directly to me.<br /><br />Everything in your life is divinely orchestrated to direct you down a path God has uniquely created for you! Every trial, test, tribulation--God allowed it. For it is WITHIN that trial, that test, that tribulation that God prepares you to receive what is on the other side of the valley. <br /><br />It is in our human nature to question why God allows things to happen to us, and what I had to take solace with is you are not exempt from bad circumstances just because you may have a relationship with God. I would like to even believe that because of my relationship with God, I am more prone to go through trying situations to test the solidarity of my faith. <br /><br />When you actually take a step back and reflect on all of the circumstances that should have broken you, you have to take the time to realize that...you made it...YOU MADE IT!<br /><br />Take comfort in the fact that God is with us always. He will never leave us, nor fosake us. <br /><br />If God leads you to it, he will bring you through it...and I guarantee you will come out of your situation stronger, wiser, better....MUCH better. <br /><br />I pray that this post speaks to your faith. For with faith, you can do the impossible. Your faith can move mountains. Your faith allows you to do ANYTHING.<br /><br />Peace and Blessings.<br /><br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/7JXFg5KEoXg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06226113435678457070noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594241498089102783.post-70458725303769081102011-11-02T01:09:00.011-05:002011-11-02T01:33:30.268-05:00I'm Getting Married!!!<div><div>Lots of changes going on in my world!<br /><br />Labor Day Weekend 2011, my best friend, my heart, my confidante asked me to marry him...sigh...love that man!<br /><br />wedding Date Set: September 1, 2012<br /><br />Ok, that's it about that.

It's quite concerning that our society goes straight from Halloween to Christmas; never taking the time to reflect or be thankful for the triumphs (or trials) of the year. <br /><br />Reflection is very important to the human existence because it allows one to recall experiences that can evolve a person's walk to purpose.<br /><br />This Thanksgiving, allow yourself to reflect and give thanks for the journey that you have taken, are taking, and will take. Use Thanksgiving to evolve to the next step of your life--hence, getting that much closer to your destiny. <br /><br />Pray, Forgive, and Love HarderMemoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06226113435678457070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594241498089102783.post-91084788764032511902010-11-13T10:23:00.004-06:002010-11-13T10:30:19.947-06:00Sometimes You Have to Encourage YOURSELFMy Bible verse of the day hit the spot:<br /><br />— Psalm 46:10-11 —<br /> <br />He says, "Be still, and know that I am God;<br />I will be exalted among the nations, <br />I will be exalted in the earth."<br />The LORD Almighty is with us; <br />the God of Jacob is our fortress. <br />__________________________<br /><br /><br />"Never be in a hurry. Do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inward peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset. Commend all to God, and then lie still and be at rest in his bosom. Whatever happens, abide steadfast in determination to cling simply to God. Maintain a holy simplicity of mind, and do not smother yourself with a host of cares, wishes or longings, under any pretext."<br />— St. Francis de Sales <br /><br />I'm entering a new phase of my life and I'm definitely being tested..but Thank God for the test. It means my breakthrough is on it way!!!!!<br /><br />I need to take a moment and encourage myself:<br /><br />God is moving a lot of things out of my life. He knows that the things I am asking for cannot exist if the current things are still in my life. Thank You God.<br /><br />In all the turmoil, I WILL remain steadfast, unmovable, and ALWAYS abounding in the work of the Lord because I know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord (1 Corin 5:58).<br /><br />Thank You God...Thank You God....I KNOW you are at work. <br /><br /><br />God is amazing.

Whew.<br /><br />You never know how much someone cares for you until that moment in time when God chooses to reveal it to you.<br /><br />That moment happened to me. Today.<br /><br />I was on my way out the door to run errands on a Saturday morning, and I as I was walking out the door, I notice my boyfriend looking at me rather weird. I ask him, "Baby what's wrong?"<br /><br />He sits there for a moment, and he says, "Nothing, I'm just sketching this moment in my mind. I like to know what you have on before you leave the house. It's my job to be responsible for you. I care about those things."<br /><br />Now, while to a new person who hasn't dealt with serious relationships, the whole idea of accountability in a relationship may seem foreign. To me, because I never experienced it in such a way as this, looked at this as him taking accountability not only to my emotions as my boyfriend, but also, taking accountability as my keeper.<br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/arCTOMGT9do&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/arCTOMGT9do&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />More to come... :0)<br /><br />Once again, thank you God. </div>Memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06226113435678457070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594241498089102783.post-68028680849855161662010-06-16T22:00:00.009-05:002010-06-17T05:21:43.335-05:00Tevin's Photo Shoot<div align="center">Last week I did a photoshoot with a young man named Tevin.

My life up until this point made no sense--well, the mishaps that were occuring then--but when I made a vow to accept the will of God as it related to the good and the bad, things just started to unfold!<br /><br />Ezekiel 36:25-27 states: "..then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols. And I will give you a new heart with new and right desires, and I will put a new heart in you. I will take out your stony heart of sin and give you a new, obedient heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so you will obey my laws and do whatever I command."<br /><br /><div align="center"><br /><br />New desires, new ventures, new love (sigh)....SAME GOD. </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br /><br /></div><div align="center">Thank you for being faithful, God. </div>Memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06226113435678457070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594241498089102783.post-77776996429392611722010-05-23T14:05:00.005-05:002010-05-23T14:29:16.986-05:00Another Photography Weekend!<div style="text-align: center;">This weekend was very busy!

She was on this HGTV show called "First Time Design", and her episode was airing for the first time. I wanted to be their to support her so I took a trip to see her.<br /><br />Along the way, I met up with my friend Joi, who's a stylist in New York. She just landed a dream job as a visual manager for a manager fashion designer.<br /><br />I must say God is doing amazing things in my friends lives!! Thank you God for being faithful to them and showering your blessings on them!<br /><br />Additionally, I met several of their friends, which in turn, makes them my friends. It the "Guilty by Association" philosophy. If I know that you are a great person, well then, I'm sure that amazing people are not far from you.<br /><br />What I found amazing about every new encounter was that each person was following their dream. Regardless if it made them money or not, these people were diligent. It shed a lot of light on my on situation.<br /><br />Every person I came into contact with never gave an excuse as to why they couldn't make their dream come true. I guess I should live by this mantra as well.<br /><br />I know I have been given the gift of a sublime eye. I must share this gift and be a blessing to many.<br /><br />Ok, God.

Not only is it my thoughts, but it also stems from the Bible verse of today:<br /><br />— 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 — <br /><br />But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. <br />__________________________<br /><br />"Lord, what do you want to teach me to make me a better person? What are your plans to make me more effective? Lead me and guide me through this process, O Lord. Be my teacher, show me your ways. And don't let me miss any lesson you've prepared for me." <br /><br />To check out more Bible verses of today click <a href="http://www.lehrmangroup.com/verse/">here</a>. <br /><br />I love love love these two verses!!! Love them. I am at the end of enduring not the hardest thing in my life, but one of the most challenging moments in my life. I have wrestled God for almost 7 months with a particular issue and it is amazing how stern God has been with me about it. I have tried to make things go my way in the situation, and God has remained unmoved (as if he would have moved anyway, HA! LOL!). <br /><br />I must say, through it all, God has been trying to show me that it was time to move to the next phase of my life. Unfortunately, some people were not meant to join me on the journey. This is the main thing I wrestled with God about. However, I am still forever thankful that he has showered grace and mercy on all people involved. <br /><br />"Ships" (Relationships, Friendships, etc) with people are dynamic pieces of our personal fabric. They tell a lot about who you are and what you have come from. In 2009 I lost a friend and a boyfriend, and I was torn about losing both. However, it is bittersweet moments such as these--difficulties, hardships, and persecutions--that force you to lean on God for a strength that you have never possessed. There were even times when I would let my weakness overshadow the promise that God had for my life, but still- He remained faithful. <br /><br />God's will for my life--and your life--is perfect. His grace, mercy, and power are PERFECT. God knows what you need and who you need. Thank God for my weaknesses, because it gives him a chance to prove all of that and more. <br /><br />God, thank you for sustaining me. Even when I could not, would not, accept your will or reason for the events that did occur in my life. I know that you have a purpose and a journey for everyone who claims you as their Father. I trust your rhyme and reason for my life without knowing your rhyme and reason. Without you, I am nothing. With you, I can move mountains. Thank you for every setback, heartache, failed friendship, and tear. For without those I could not cherish all my successes, triumphs, true friendships, laughs, and love. <br /><br />I have learned. The Chains have been removed. It's time to turn the page. <br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QrrHJYxDyyA&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QrrHJYxDyyA&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />I'll close this thought with these verses:<br /><br />To everything there is a season,<br />a time for every purpose under the sun.<br />A time to be born and a time to die;<br />a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;<br />a time to kill and a time to heal ...<br />a time to weep and a time to laugh;<br />a time to mourn and a time to dance ...<br />a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;<br />a time to lose and a time to seek;<br />a time to rend and a time to sew;<br />a time to keep silent and a time to speak;<br />a time to love and a time to hate;<br />a time for war and a time for peace.<br /><br />Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 <br /><br />Please try God if you have not.

God is that kind of leader. He knows the future, and his plans are good and full of hope. As long as God, who knows the future, provides our agenda and goes with us as we fulfill his mission, we can have boundless hope. This does not mean that we will be spared pain, suffering or hardship, but that God will see us through to a glorious conclusion.<br /><br />To receive more Bible Verses of the Day, click <a href="http://www.lehrmangroup.com/verse/">here</a>. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1Afa9vmt1MI-rlaYEfviCqJeCwr9aJGHiDNU6J6WmHUs4tD_nIA1YN9rsRc2lxHUIovfikM4Byezeg3NUvtTPp8LWxJsYRiaOdoQeJl4Kx9yqmPLWwYeTAcUqoil6CoIV390-3NWbQxc/s1600-h/God%2520Talks%2520To%2520You%2520Picture%2520JPG.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1Afa9vmt1MI-rlaYEfviCqJeCwr9aJGHiDNU6J6WmHUs4tD_nIA1YN9rsRc2lxHUIovfikM4Byezeg3NUvtTPp8LWxJsYRiaOdoQeJl4Kx9yqmPLWwYeTAcUqoil6CoIV390-3NWbQxc/s320/God%2520Talks%2520To%2520You%2520Picture%2520JPG.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444102036759411554" /></a>Memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06226113435678457070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594241498089102783.post-75821737581641359262010-03-02T07:48:00.003-06:002010-03-02T08:18:27.082-06:00Memory's "UNCANNY'ed" Thought of The Day: 10 Things I Learned from My FastI decided to fast February 1 - February 21 for several reasons, but the main reason was because I knew that my relationship with God was not where it needed to be, and I wanted to commit myself to getting to a place with him that I could hear Him speak to me. <br /><br />I have to first say that it was an AMAZING experience and I learned a lot about myself. There are several things I gave up:<br /><br />Alcohol<br />Sex<br />Cursing<br />Red Meat<br />Chicken<br /><br />And several other things, that I do not believe I need to reveal....God knows what they were and I'm satisfied with that ;) <br /><br />At the beginning of the fast, I concentrated on counting down the days, because I didn't think that I could make it three weeks without any of these things. It's amazing how dependent we get on things that bring "happiness".<br /><br />There were 10 main things that God revealed to me about Him and myself:<br /><br />1) I was once too impulsive...never again. everything will be thought out before I commit to it. My impulsive nature has caused lots of pain- physical, emotional, and financial.<br /><br />2) Know your real friends. Real friends will stick with you and love you through all flaws and pain. Cherish REAL friends. Unconditionally love your friends, and expect them to do the same. <br /><br />3) Live and walk in the truth. Even if it hurts, tell the truth. Tell.The.Truth.Period.<br /><br />4) God is with you. ALWAYS. God has always been there. My carnality just pushed Him to the bottom of my priority list. <br /><br />5)God has a plan for you. TRUST it. His plan will always be better than yours. <br /><br />6)Jesus was crucified, so what makes you think you won't go through pain? If not me, then who? If not now, when? <br /><br />7) There's several things I gave up that I may not go back to. Don't know if I want to.... when I was a child I spake as a child...<br /><br />8) I must say, this endeavor fell right in line with swimsuit season. I am going to KILL my swimsuit this summer!<br /><br />9)God sees me a precious rare jewel...hence I should see myself in the same light. Thank you God for loving me IN SPITE OF...this type of unconditional love is why God is God. Thank you God. Thank you. <br /><br />10)If I had to do the fast all over again...I would. God means more to me than any feeling, food, or fun. I owe him so much more. <br /><br />God is so faithful to his people. Even when I strayed God was always there. Why? Who knows...only he does, but I thank him every day for just being faithful. His faithfulness in me is unwavering, and I know that I have a cheerleader in him. <br /><br />I also thank God for his Grace and Mercy. You have to really sit back and meditate on what grace and mercy actually is. GRACE is getting the things we DO NOT deserve, while MERCY is NOT getting the things we DO deserve. Think about it for a moment and rejoice! <br /><br />When I think about all of the things and consequences I deserved based on my unfaithfulness to Him, all I can do is thank him for his beautiful mercy. Thank you God. There are so many things that I do not deserve. Because of his grace, I continually am blessed. Thank you God. <br /><br />I can't finish this right now. Too emotional...Remain faithful in God, he will never give up on you. He is with you always. You can be sure of it (Matt 28:20). Keep your mind on him and his promises for you life, and you will be PERFECT peace (Isaiah 26:3)!Memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06226113435678457070noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594241498089102783.post-11614555714669264732010-03-02T07:35:00.002-06:002010-03-02T07:44:26.208-06:00Memory's "UNCANNY'ed" Thought of The Day2010 has been trying thus far; however, I believe that everything that we face because of a more divine purpose. <br /><br />Every morning I ask for God to renew my mind's strength because according to Peter we must think clearly with a sound mind. I finally understand this concept. <br /><br />Our minds are the gatekeepers of our heart and soul. Therefore we must always protect it. It is is through our minds that Satan attacks us. We must remember that the "helmet of salvation" is not just an anology. God can give you a sound mind, and he can "re-charge" your mind every day if you ask for it. <br /><br />In the book of James, he talks about how true wisdom comes from God. I believe this with all my heart. For it is true wisdom that makes your mind resilient.Memoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06226113435678457070noreply@blogger.com0
