A Woman of Excellence

FOREWORD
As it should be with any of us who journey through life with integrity and humility, there ought to come a time when we acknowledge the deposits that others have made into our lives. In her latest publication, A Woman of Excellence: The Ministry of My Mother, our dear friend, Sheri Powell, seizes the opportunity to give honor to whom honor is due as she pays homage to her own mother.

True to her expressed desire to engage, encourage, and empower women, Sheri Powell reflects upon the transferable lessons she learned through her own upbringing. Her mother’s ability to transcend the challenges of her life to become a powerful, proven force of love and grace become the substance of significant lessons for every woman.

We met Sheri approximately 25 years ago as a member of the church we pastored. At the time, she was a newly divorced mom doing a phenomenal job raising her young son and daughter. Since that time, she has moved out of state and remarried, adding a husband with three additional children to her household. The years have passed, the kids have all grown up, and a brand-new generation has been added to Sheri’s family tree. God has been good to Sheri. She has grown in wisdom and experiential knowledge.

In this, her third publication, you will learn from two generations of excellent women. Enjoy the journey.

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
