This One's for You Mama! (To God Be the Glory)

Johnnie Mae Baldwin was classy and brassy.  She was old school in the way she thought and did things.  She felt that you should go to the church-house on Sunday morning dressed appropriately, and you can bet that she was always dressed to the "nines."  She always dressed like a lady, that was the classy side.  Now, when you got in a heated debate with her, she could give as good as she could get.  That was the brassy side.  But, most of all she was wisdom and love.  She would say in her soprano style voice: "Baby, I know God's knowledge and wisdom and I'm telling you....."   Godmom was a heart person - she loved genuinely and deeply.  She loved God first and foremost.  Whenever we, her Godchildren left her presence she would always say: "Ya'll just love on each other till you can't love on each other no more!"

Today is her home going service even though she is already Home.  She surely will be missed.

He gives the childless woman a family, making her a happy mother. Praise the LORD! Psalms 113:9 (NIV)

HAPPY NEW YEAR! (THANK YOU JESUS)

This is a year to embrace.  This new year will bring many wonderful changes.  A Rhema Word is coming forth for the body of Christ - collectively and individually.  We, the children of God, are taking back the day, and even the night.  We are taking back what belongs to us.  "The Kingdom suffereth violence, but the violent take it by force."

God is a good God, and I am glad about it!  What about you?  He is the God of another chance, so let's take advantage of the mercy (spares us from what we do deserve) and grace (favor, gives us what we don't deserve) He is extending us once again, and strive harder to get it right in this new year.  God wants the best for us.  He has our best interests at heart.

We had some fights in 2012, and we will surely have some fights in 2013, but we are Christian soldiers.  Hey, it's already alright!  THANK YOU JESUS.

God is doing a new thing and we must get on board with Him and do our part.

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.  Isaiah 43:19 (KJV)
