Dear Friend,

Speak Life

While sitting watching a special on Link TV regarding racial injustice with Harry Belafonte and other prominent African Americans I stood in awe while listening to the speakers.

Harry Belafonte said, "We must do something, we have to change the number of children being sent to Prison" he went on to say, "they are no longer building schools, they are building prisons."

I made my 9 yr old come out of her room to sit and absorb what they were saying. My 9 yr old is going to be the one taking a stand on injustice. Fighting for the rights our ancestors died for.

She asks so many questions," Why Mom? "that's just not right, Mom" "I wouldn't even stand for that"

I listen to her and think, "She can change the world, she has that tenacity ,that drive-that passion. My 9 yr old genuinely loves all who she comes in contact with."

We all must strive to raise leaders and we must guard their ears, their eyes and protect them from this world.

You might be thinking, "Not my Johnny, that boy is a follower, he stays in trouble." But that's how it appears at this time.

That's what it looks like in the natural. Remember - we are more spiritual than natural. It may look like something one minute and change the very next. That's the power of God. The word says: "to speak those things that be not as though they were" What does that mean Nicole? It means to speak life to those things that appear dead or worthless.

I am a living witness that people can change, and sometimes it starts with my words. Personally, I have to speak life to many things that appear dead on a daily basis.

Speak life today.

Blessings,

Nicole

Forgive & Forget

The human mind is not made to forget but we can forgive. I married someone recently who I love completely but the circumstances in which we live are unpleasant. We try to look beyond the right now in faith but I know it is an experience that when we are out of it will not be forgotten. Remembering keeps one from making the same mistake over and over again. At least I think so. Blessings to you and your ministry. - A Sister from Maryland
