On yesterday I was celebrating with a good friend (Keisha Houston) as she sent her mother (Carliss Faye Pearson) home. During the CELEBRATION, many shared their most fondest memories of Ms. Pearson. They stated how much she LOVED-Family, Friends, Church, Kiesha and MOST IMPORTANTLY GOD.
Family and friends stated how SOFT-SPOKEN Ms. Pearson would BOLDLY with NO SHAME and NO RESERVATION WORSHIP AND PRAISE GOD. They stated that SHE continued to come to choir rehearsal and SING PRAISES UNTIL the LORD. She would be PRESENT in Sunday School and WORSHIP and PRAISE during worship service.
As the celebration continued-the songs “MY GOD IS AWESOME, The Battle is not yours it’s the LORD’S and STILL HAVE JOY made it clear that in telling Ms. Pearson’s story, they were talking about HIM-YOU KNOW HIM, JESUS.
In telling her story and HOW she lived her life-SHE was sharing and telling others of HIM-YOU KNOW HIM, JESUS. I will take liberty to say (type) that Ms. Pearson realized that IT, EVERYTHING was NOTHING WITHOUT JESUS. THAT EVERYTHING IS ALL IN CHRIST AND THAT HER LIFE WAS A TESTAMENT TO WHO GOD IS: JOY, PEACE, LOVE, DELIVERER AND SUSTAINER.
I will also take liberty and paraphrase Ms. Pearson’s and many others who KNOW that ALL things REALLY DO work together and that in telling our stories-JESUS IS THE STORY (NON-FICTION, INFORMATIONAL, EXPOSITORY, PERSUASIVE).
Quoting Big Daddy Weave “….
If I told you my story
You would hear hope, that wouldn’t let go
…you would hear Love that never gave up
…you would hear Life, but it wasn’t mine
…you would hear victory over the enemy
… you would hear freedom that was won for me
…. you would hear….of the grace that is Greater, than all my sin
of when justice was served, and where mercy wins!
of the kindness of Jesus, that draws me in
oh to tell you my story is to tell of Him
This is my story, this is my song
praising my savior, all the day long
HIS STORY, NOT MINE is HIM saying to me that…..
…Nothing will separate ME from the LOVE of GOD which is in CHRIST JESUS…..”
