THE OTHER SIDE

In looking back, I can remember there was a period in my life when I was not feeling 100%. After months with no success of trying to figure out what was going on, I surrendered and went to the doctors. Following an examination and tests, the results revealed that I was smack dab in the middle of menopause.

My head was spinning with so much information that I received from the doctors. I saw that though menopause is a natural and inevitable time in a woman’s life, it has the capacity to bring chaos to her physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

Once I got home, I settled down for a time of prayer with the Great Physician-Jesus. I knew that I was going to need Him to reach the other side of this journey. As He showered me with love, support and encouragement; I realized that with the same measure Jesus poured out in my life, I was to pass on to others; especially those on the same road.

During our season of menopause, isolation is a no-no. There are millions of women going through the same thing and almost at the same time all over this world. May we be able to see the need and help another get to the other side.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE A couple of months ago, I went to a church event to do a book signing.    The person in charge directed to a spot where I was to set up.  Ah, I thought I have the best seat in the house, right next to the biggest grill I have ever seen.  I introduced myself to the chef.  In between the turning of his ribs, chicken, and Italian sausage; we found out that we had something in common.  He loves to cook and feed people and me, I just love people. Later when it was time for me to leave, he echoed to let him know if he could ever help.  Jokily I said, “How about at a BACK 2 SCHOOL rally?”  Without hesitation, we exchanged info and I shuffled off.  Months later, I get a call and the voice on the other end said, “Okay tell me where, what to bring and the time.   On August 20, 2011, we hosted a rally in the Victory Pointe housing community on the Westside of Jacksonville, Florida.   In addition to enjoying non-stop food and fun, w e were able to share a message of hope

Tammy's Journey 'Through'

Image
Some years ago, Tammy had a good friend pass away from her battle with breast cancer; this unfortunate event caused her to begin to think about the importance of mammogram screenings. In September 2009, while lying in her bed; Tammy had an itch on her left breast and while examining herself she felt a lump.   Soon after, Tammy made her way to the doctors.  An hour  and  a half after her visit, her cell phone rang, the nurse informed her that the doctor saw something suspicious and ordered a MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) (a) on her right breast.  Tammy gave a perplexed reply, “You mean my left breast that is where I felt the lump.”  The nurse asked Tammy to hold on for a second, when she returned to the phone she said, “No, the right breast.”  As Tammy headed for her MRI appointment, she encountered additional tension, you see she is claustrophobic.  During the procedure, Tammy chose to repeat over and over again, Isaiah 41:10, Fear not for I am with thee.   Once the assessment w
