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

The Courage of the Queen The other night I was watching the 2006 movie, "One Night With The King."   This movie portrays the life of the young Jewish girl, Hadassah, who goes on to become the Biblical Esther, the Queen of Persia, and saves the Jewish nation from annihilation at the hands of its arch enemy while winning the heart of the fiercely handsome King Xerxes. Esther WAS in a place of oppression, but when she went to the palace she was given the second most honored position in the kingdom.  Though she had no idea what lied ahead of her, she all the same; did what was necessary to become the very person that was used to deliver her people. Imagine the preparation and courage that was needed ‘For Such A Time As This.’  You will find that she took an entire year to prepare for her, ‘One Night With The King. "                        Preparation is defined as the action or process of making something ready for use or service or of getting ready for some oc
