I recently had an encounter with an Angel. This individual was placed directly in my path at a moment that I needed discernment on decisions, regarding my health. I needed encouragement and most importantly, I needed prayer.

 I didn't know this person, before that day, but they told me right away that they were instructed by God to lay hands on me and pray...and that's exactly what they did!

 It often takes a great deal of faith to walk in obedience and do as God instructs.  I'm so grateful that My Angel did. Their prayers were specific and held a great deal of power.  There are no doubts that My Angel was following the promptings of The Lord.

 The steps that followed, called for me to not base my decisions on what I could see, but to walk in faith and to listen to the promptings of The Holy Spirit. My Angel's prayer planted the seed and set me on the path to victory. ❤  

                   I BELIEVE IN ANGELS

Do I believe in Angels? Oh yes I do you see
I know God placed them in my path to help watch over me.

They're with me when I travel, they hover through the night
just knowing God assigned them to my care, tells me everything's alright.

There are times that life gets rugged and I need to know He's near
so God brings forth specific angels to calm all my doubts and fears.

Sometimes the angels whisper...sometimes they clearly speak
no matter what their method
they're prepared to deliver what I seek.

God's angels appear in different coverings and they take on many forms
They protect us in each season
and carry us through every storm.

Some people don't believe in angels
it's hard to see them in our midst
but when you trust and believe in the Word of God, you will know that they exist.

Our nation is in need of healing.  The healing will only happen we fill the gaps of miscommunication, misunderstanding, fear, hurt and unforgiveness...with unity, knowledge, grace, love and most importantly...PRAYER!
We can do this...when we work and pray together! ❤        


                        OH GOD!

Oh God, what are our ears now hearing and what do our eyes now see?
 Our hearts are filled with hurt and anguish from all of this tragedy.

Oh God, how do we begin to recover from this kind of grief and pain?
How long must people endure treatment that is cruel and inhumane?

Will wives and mothers ever rest well...
will children always live in fear?
Will difference continue to divide us and cause us never-ending tears?

Some may find discomfort in what's written... and may in fact, suggest
that having conversations about race and hate...only lead to violence and protests.


Many may find it hard to comprehend the burdens branded on the hearts
of mothers knowing all too well, the kind of fear that hatred still imparts.


Oh God, it's difficult to tell our children, that they have what it takes to change the world
when we must also teach them ways to protect themselves from hateful words and bullets that may be hurled.



Oh God, the world is in a pit of turmoil, chaos can be found at every turn
evil acts attempt to keep us from your  purpose, in hopes that we will crash and burn.


Oh God, I know that even in the midst of trouble, we will ALWAYS find you near
Your Word tells us in Matthew 18:20
that when we pray together, you WILL appear.

April is National Poetry Month and I was given the awesome opportunity of sitting on a Panel with other Poets at an event, sponsored hy and hosted at: St. Louis County Library (Headquarters).  The Panel consisted of both Local and National Artists, who shared several of their creative works. Here is a piece that I wrote, for the event.

                     POETRY IN MOTION

Poetry is an art form that trancends our thoughts, words and our dreams
It can bring people together, to state a purpose, mission or a theme.

Poetry often tells a story of how one has overcome
and delivers inspiring messages of battles being won.

Sometimes poetry decribes heartbreak and depicts images of troubled times
but words can also change the mood...bring hope and elevate the mind.

Some poems BUILD with STRONG emotion
sharing fond memories of the past
while a "play on words" may add some humor
AND can deliver BOLD contrasts.

Poetry has a certain rhythm and can change the way we feel
when words impact our thoughts and hearts..those words have power to soothe and heal.

The Art of Poetry is endless and holds a beauty all its own
it can take us on an awesome journey through the familiar OR unknown.
