The Journey Continues
I returned to Miami, Florida in October 2009. Didn't think I would go back to D.C. and return to Miami, again. I had question myself, but then I realized that God is in control of my life and I am totally surrendered. This process made me question myself but the peace I know is all the assurance that I need that I am in the right place at the right time and doing the right thing. My family is well. My grandson who had opened heart surgery and we prayed him through... holding and rocking, we made it to the other side and the miracle in itself is that it brought my family together in a way that only God could.
I came to Miami, unemployed and living with relatives wondering why I was so discontented in D.C. but immediately began to work in my field... I was embraced! In less than 3 months, I found myself teaching bible study, and working in a facility where God is truly utilizing all my spiritual gifts and perfecting my spiritual tools. It has been a slow difficult and some days lonely transition but one I would not have never experienced if I didn't step out on faith. This faith thing is progressive at best. Younger in my spiritual walk, I believed that the work would be easy and that I would just name it, claim it and it would be. As I have matured, I realize like my Pastor Willie F. Wilson would say almost every Sunday that this is "work"...you got to work it, move it, twist it, roll with it, pray through it - work it!.
My family is yet growing. We are expecting three more grand children this summer and we are already praying for healthy children. Me, I am looking for Sunday School students. I just wanted to share the joys and the pains of this faith walk.
Take care and know that prayer is every going forth for those of us who embrace this gospel assignment.
Peace and Blessings
