Pausing With God

A new chapter began in my life and I wondered can restoration with my sons come forth, will I see my boys again?   The Lord immediately gave me two Scriptures Jeremiah 31:15-18 and Isaiah 60:4.  He told me, "Do not weep any longer for I am going to reward you."   He said,  “Look and see everyone is coming home, your sons are coming home from the distant lands.” God told me, “Kathleen, I am omnipotent; you take care of what I put in front of you here in Jacksonville.  Keep ministering to the women on the streets and sowing my seeds of love and I am going to take care of your boys and that situation in Venezuela.” Wow! God’s word is true and alive!  Hearing His promises from His Word and hearing His voice increased my faith and my prayer life.   On August 15, 2010, I joyfully made my way to the Miami airport -- my oldest son was coming home.   The first thing I noticed, he was very tall, just like that vision that G...

Kathleen's story Part 2 God allowed me to go through a spiritual experience of complete darkness that I can only describe as a living hell. In the midst of this journey, God took over and fought for my soul.  As He rescued me, I began to experience a peace that all the words in the dictionary cannot describe. God gave me a vision, I saw myself standing at a podium, sharng my story.  On one side of me was a man - but I could not see his face, on the other side of me were my 2 boys who had grown very tall and afar off was my ex-husband. After I was placed in the locked jail cell, I curled up on the floor in a fetal position.  For some reason unbeknown to me; they were playing Christian (angelic) music over the loud speaker.  The music became so loud in my ears, it woke me up. I began to get a tingly feeling all over. All of a sudden a burst of energy ran through my body and I quickly jumped to the floor.  I raised my arms and hands to the sky and right th...

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, Fea...

Recently I reconnected with one of the girls that I had the privilege to mentor.  I was speechless as I saw a girl who had become a beautiful young woman.  I asked Iesha if she would write a short essay for the website.  I hope you are blessed as you read her story. Hello my name is Iesha Daniels, I am 18 years old and a former Smart Girls (Skills Mastery and Resistance Training ) member.  I joined Smart Girls at the age of 14.  I can say with all honesty; that if it was not for the SMART Girls program, I do not think that I would have grown to be the woman I am today.  SMART Girls has taught me many qualities and characteristics that I use on a daily basis.  Every Wednesday, I would wait for Ms. Sheri to come to the Victory Pointe Boys & Girls Club.  The days that she could not make it, I was devastated because Smart Girls meant a lot to me. Here are a few of the memories and lessons that I have experienced while participating in the p...
