To say that I have been to HELL and back in the last two years may be the understatement of the year...heck the decade! I am NOT going to focus on the negative things that have happened to me. What I will tell you is that although I am currently the office manager for a small office, it is suffering through the economy and I have been worried about my future. I started looking for a new job approximately 3 weeks ago. On yesterday I was offered positions at two of the companies that I applied for...can you say WOW?! What a high..to have options and both are good jobs with excellent benefits. Then I went to church last night with a girlfriend. I have been visiting churches for the last year and a half trying to find my home.  I am from NC and wanted a church that gave me that "down home" feeling. I did not want to get lost in the shuffle or get caught up in the fashion shows and drama that tends to come along with so many churches I have visited. This post is not intended to start a religious debate..these are my feelings. 
LAST NIGHT I FOUND MY CHURCH HOME!!! From the moment I walked in the door, I felt this forceful "embrace" ....for lack of a better term. The warmth, the WORD was just POWERFUL.   One part of the message I will share from last night..." Don't let YOUR passions obstruct your purpose" and another thing...so many of us were just beat up spiritually, emotionally, and financially in 2008...but SO WHAT???!!! I still matter, I still have purpose and can and will make a difference. So what all of that happened..past tense, 2009 is pregnant with possibilities!..Live up to your potential and purpose.

As someone who is currently looking for a new church home, I know how AMAZING it feels to find the place in which God wants to plant you.  Congratulations!!!  And congrats on the job offers as well!

Thank you my dear...I am from a very small town called Scotland Neck, which is about 30 miles from Rocky Mount, Talboro, Ahoskie, not too far from Emporia and Wilson...those are surrounding towns that you may have heard of if you are not familiar with my little (and I do mean little...LOL) neck of the woods

Here's to wishing us "one heck of a year!"  I am claiming it now!  That song "Never would have made it"... I think he had me in mind when he was singing that one. All I can say is that I must me in line for one heck of a blessing if the devil has been attacking me like he has....girl I am holding my breathe in anticipation for all that God has in store for me because by His GRACE I MADE IT!!!!
