“…I feel a song in my heart again…” although is the title and a lyric in a song of one of my favorite singers of all time, Gladys Knight, it is not the song that I was singing prior to typing this post.  Uncle Charlie’s, I’m Blessed was the song that I was singing this morning.  I am truly BLESSED. I spent time with my family on yesterday: grocery shopping, being frightened by an almost 2-year-old who screams from excitement (He is a happy, stubborn baby), caring for my Aunt Carrie, seeing pictures of the Champ in his soccer uniform and hearing of how his day went with his team.  Talking with family and friends and knowing that they are doing better and watching NETFLIX.

I didn’t wake up singing Uncle Charlie’s, I’m Blessed. I woke up NEEDING WD-40 for my stiff joints and thinking of WHAT NEEDED TO BE done and HOW WILL IT GET DONE BEING THAT IS JUST  ME.  I was not FEELING getting out of bed this morning AND I WOKE UP 10 minutes prior to the alarm.  I was going there-LORD, I AM tired.  LORD, I don’t FEEL (fill in the blank or blanks). LORD!!!! LORD!!!! LORD!!!! 

This is the song that I was singing (IN THE KEY OF UNCLE CHARLIE)

Ask me HOW I’m DOING-I’m STRESSED, YES

LIVING moments of REGRETS

The FROWN on my face-I’m like oh

YES, I’m STRESSED YES, I’m STRESSED

I’m STRESSED YES, I’m STRESSED

Although EVERYTHING is GOING my way (“…ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER...”)

There are TOO MANY days that GO BY 

WHEN I DON’T THANK THE LORD up above

And if you wondering WHY  I’m QUESTIONING MY life

Come close and I’ll TELL you what’s up

Ask me HOW I’m doing-I’m STRESSED, YES

LIVING moments of REGRETS–

The FROWN on my face-I’m like oh

YES, I’m STRESSED YES, I’m STRESSED

I’m STRESSED YES, I’m STRESSED

AGAIN, I GOT CAUGHT UP IN MY FEELINGS.  I DON’T FEEL LIKE DOING NOTHING.  I DON’T FEEL THAT I CAN DO IT ANYMORE. I FEEL AS IF THE TIME HAS PASSED ME BY.  I FEEL LIKE I NEED A COKE AND SOME OATMEAL ARCHWAY COOKIES (HOLD THE RAISINS PLEASE). I FEEL…I FEEL…I FEEL…I FEEL…I FEEL…I FEEL…

THANK GOD FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!!  FOR I FELT THE CHASTISEMENT OF THE LORD FOR BEING CAUGHT UP IN MY FEELINGS.  SO FOR OLD TIME, CLICHÉ SAKE, I’M TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED.

I FEEL A SONG IN MY HEART AGAIN (“…CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART AND RENEW THE RIGHT SPIRIT IN ME…).

“…Ain’t a day go by, that I don’t try
To THANK the LORD up above
And if you wonder WHY I’m LOVIN’ life
Come close and I’ll TELL you what’s up (Listen)

Ask me HOW I’m doing, I’m BLESSED, YES
LIVING every moment, no regrets
SMILE up on my face, I’m like oh
YES, I’m BLESSED YES, I’m BLESSED, YES
Ask me HOW I’m DOING, I’m BLESSED YES
LIVING every moment no regrets
SMILE up on my face, I’m like oh
YES, I’m BLESSED YES, I’m BLESSED, YES…”

I’M BLESSED!!!! I’M BLESSED!!!! I’M BLESSED!!!! I’M BLESSED!!!! I’M BLESSED!!!! I’M BLESSED!!!! I’M BLESSED!!!! I’M BLESSED!!!! 

I’M BLESSED!!!! AND THIS IS WHY I CAN BOLDY DECLARE THAT…

“…NOTHING will separate ME from the LOVE of GOD which is CHRIST JESUS…”

I have just had a HOLY GHOST INTERVENTION (an instant revelation of the WHAT and WHY that you are currently experiencing–MY WORD AND MY DEFINITION).  As I was writing (typing) a whole different topic/subject, I was INSTRUCTED to share this blog. HUH???? OKAY THEN.  HUH expresses a lack of understanding or amazement.  OKAY THEN.  (Tmod-Tangey’s modified definition) is the resolve to do the work even when you don’t understand it AND ESPECIALLY when you don’t want to DO IT !!!!

I am in the HUH???? OKAY THEN. phase of my life with GOD.  The HUH???? OKAY THEN. phase is way past the WHO GOD (YOU)? WHAT (PURPOSE)? and WHY (GOD’S GLORY)? phase.   It is the interval between the HOW (WOW GOD!!!!) and WHEN (TIME? TO GOD) phase.  It is the phase where I am NOT QUESTIONING GOD as MUCH. It is the phase where I am NOT RESISTING GOD as MUCH.  It is the phase where I AM  NOT ONLY DESIRING AND LEARNING BUT EARNESTLY WORKING TO HONOR GOD IN and WITH  MY life.  HUH???? OKAY THEN. phase comes before COMPLETELY TRUSTING GOD.

In the HUH???? OKAY THEN. phase I STILL have questions. I STILL have doubts. I STILL REPENT FOR THOSE DOUBTS.  NO, I DON’T SAY, GOD I DON’T BELIEVE YOU OR TRUST YOU. BUT I AM DRINKING COKES AND TEA DURING THE WEEK.  I HAVE GIVEN IT TO GOD, SO I SAY AND YET, I AM NOT RESTING AND I AM IRRITABLE. I WANT TO STAY AT HOME AND IN THE BED.

The HUH???? OKAY THEN.phase is where I am learning to COMPLETELY TRUST GOD as I FEAR what I am dealing with as HE REVEALS HIS POWER as I DO THE WORK WAITING. 

The HUH???? OKAY THEN. phase is where I am learning to COMPLETELY TRUST GOD as I fear what I am dealing with as HE REVEALS HIS POWER as I DO THE WORK CRYING. 

The HUH???? OKAY THEN. phase is where I am learning to COMPLETELY TRUST GOD as I fear what I am dealing with as HE REVEALS HIS POWER as I DO THE WORK PRAISING AND WORSHIPPING HIM. 

Surprisingly my fears and doubts are not about my current state.  The INTANGIBLES OF GOD are MANIFESTING. I KNOW that things are SHIFTING. I AM WORKING WHILE WAITING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD.  I CONTINUE TO CRY WHILE WAITING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD.  I CONTINUE TO  PRAISE  AND WORSHIP GOD WHILE WAITING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD.  

IN THE HUH???? OKAY THEN. PHASE GOD IS ERASING ALL OF  MY DOUBTS AND ALL MY OF FEARS.  I AM BEING ELEVATED FROM BUT GOD TO  NOW GOD!!!!

” ….NOW UNTO HIM THAT IS ABLE to KEEP you FROM FALLING, and to PRESENT you FAULTLESS BEFORE THE PRESENCE of HIS GLORY with EXCEEDING JOY, 

25 To the ONLY WISE GOD OUR SAVIOR, be GLORY and MAJESTY, DOMINION AND POWER BOTH NOW AND EVER.

AMEN….”

AND THIS IS WHY I CAN BOLDY DECLARE THAT…

“…NOTHING will separate ME from the LOVE of GOD which is CHRIST JESUS…”

WHEWWOW (new word) is my present state.  WHEW IS used to express strong emotion, such as relief or amazement. WOW IS an exclamation of surprise, wonder, pleasure, or the like.  WHEWWOW!!!! LIFE IS HAPPENING!!!! WHEWWOW!!!! 

I, no different from most, AM TIDE, YES TIDE.  I AM TOO TIDE TO REST. My mind is not listening to my body as it aches. My joints are sore and have stiffened, including my ankles.  My ankles have never ached before.  MY ANKLES?!!!!.  My appetite is waning, my weight is fluctuating, my energy is depleted AND my attention span (there are no words). WHEWWOW!!!!

Yet as LIFE IS HAPPENING!!!! GOD IS ALWAYS FAITHFUL AND A PRESENT HELP!!!! I AM NO LONGER FRETTING OVER MY ANKLES ACHING OR MUCH OF ANYTHING ELSE.  (YES, I DID SAY AND I AM HONEST ABOUT GIVING GOD MUCH, SOME OR EVEN MOST OF MY CARES.   HE IS STILL TEACHING ME HOW TO GIVE HIM EVERYTHING-NOT MUCH OF THEM, OR SOME OF THEM AND MOST OF THEM, HE WANTS THEM ALL HENCE THE TITLE AND NEW WORD-WHEWWOW!!!!

The HOLY SPIRIT continuously reminds me of GOD’S BLESSINGS AND FAVOR OVER MY LIFE.  Before I can wring my hands with worry, the HOLY SPIRIT reminds me that my hands are to be lifted up to PRAISE and WORSHIP GOD IN ALL THINGS.  WHEWWOW!!!!

Although my body aches INCLUDING MY ANKLES (MY ANKLES?!!!!) and my energy is waning and my mind appears to operate as if it is an express train to nowhere, I have been able to not just maintain, I have been thriving.  It is NOT me. IT IS ALL GOD.  GLORY TO GOD.  I AM NO LONGER CONCERNED WITH HOW HE DOES IT. I AM STILL LEARNING NOT TO ASK,  “WHEN WILL HE DO IT?”.  I THANK GOD THAT I HAVE ARRIVED AT THE “HE WILL DO IT!!!!”.  WHEWWOW!!!!

“…NOTHING will separate ME from the LOVE of GOD which is in CHRIST JESUS…”

AT THIS VERY MOMENT ( as I type) I am extremely calm and it is extremely quiet and still.  I have learned to LOVE and ENJOY extreme quiet and stillness.  IT REMINDS ME OF THE AWENESS (EXEMPLIFYING STATE  OF AWE) OF GOD.  HE IS ALWAYS WORKING.    I no longer want to KNOW HOW GOD is WORKING. I am learning to let HIM do HIM.  I am learning to stop fretting over the WHEN. Fretting over the WHEN causes me great anxiety, which then leads to tension in my neck and back, weight gain, irritability and insomnia.

Since I don’t REALLY drink (4-5 times a year) and I abhor smoke, I would drown my sorrows in sweet tea (not flavored, not with a lemon, not VIP-I am a purist when it comes to tea), Big K cola, cream and sugar (coffee-I like a little coffee in my cream and sugar), Archway Oatmeal cookies (no raisins, hold the ice), salty potato chips: sour cream and onion, Kettle’s Sea Salt and Vinegar, jalapeno Cheetos. I had ALLOWED my CONCERNS to become WORRIES which THEN became bigger than my GOD. Instead of seeing the manifestation of GOD, I manifested (gained weight) as I TRUSTED (REALLY????) and WAITED on GOD.

THANK GOD for the HOLY SPIRIT.  For the sweet tea, Big K Cola, and cream and sugar don’t taste the same.  The soft Archway cookies provide NO comfort and they don’t taste the same. I even GOT TIRED of mindlessly eating chips.  I would begin eating them and then throw almost a whole bag the garbage (poured them out of the bag). I was WASTING resources (health, energy, money) that would be NEEDED WHEN my DELIVERANCE, my BREAKTHROUGH,  my MIRACLE came.  My DELIVERANCE, my BREAKTHROUGH,  my MIRACLE  were not and are not in the bottom of a bag (family size) of chips.  

The following passages are from Philippians 1:12-14, 21 (Easy to Read Version).  It is concerning the Apostle Paul who is in prison and he sends a letter to the church of Phillipi to encourage them to continue the work of CHRIST.

12 Brothers and sisters, I want you to know that all that has happened to me has helped to spread the GOOD NEWS. 13 All the Roman guards and all the others here know that I am in prison for serving CHRIST. 14 My being in prison has caused most of the believers to put their trust in the LORD and to show more courage in telling people GOD’S message.

20 I am full of hope and feel sure I will not have any reason to be ashamed. I am certain I will continue to have the same boldness to speak freely that I always have. I will let GOD use my life to bring more honor to CHRIST. It doesn’t matter whether I live or die

This passage resonated with me. BLESS GOD, For I was in a car accident on 7-20-19 on Germantown Parkway and my car was totaled and I AM WELL.  Like Paul, I am not going into any details about what happened.  I KNOW THAT GOD IS GETTING HIS GLORY.  FOR I AM TOTALLY DEPENDING ON AND TRUSTING IN GOD.  MY SITUATION, NOT JUST THE CAR ACCIDENT, BUT ALL THAT I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH, HAS CAUSED MANY TO DRAW CLOSER AND TRUST GOD.

I AM NOT ASHAMED THAT I DON’T HAVE A CAR. I AM NOT ASHAMED THAT I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE BANKRUPTCY COURT DISCHARGE MY CASE BEFORE I CAN GET ANOTHER CAR. I AM NOT ASHAMED OR ABOVE RIDING THE BUS TO WINCHESTER AND HACKS CROSSING AND THEN GETTING A CO-WORKER TO PICK ME UP  AND DROP ME OFF AT THE MCDONALD’S ON HACKS CROSSING.  I HAVE FAVOR AND THE GRACE OF GOD ON MY LIFE.

I AM OVERWHELMED BY THE AWENESS OF GOD.  I OFTEN FIND MYSELF SHAKING MY HEAD AND WAVING MY HAND WHILE CRYING AND CRYING OUT. THANK GOD FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO INTERCEDES AND INTERPRETS THE SHAKING OF MY AND AND THE WAVING OF MY HAND. I HAVE FAVOR AND THE GRACE OF GOD ON MY LIFE.

THE AWENESS OF GOD IS WHY I BOLDY DECLARE THAT:

“…Nothing will separate ME from the LOVE of GOD which is in CHRIST JESUS….”

As I was descending the stairs to share (should I be rocking the microphone? stairs, share-they rhyme), I was thinking not about what had happened on yesterday (7-20-19-wreck on Germantown Parkway), I was thinking on how BLESSED I am.  There was slight damage to my car (I was hit from behind) and I am doing fine.  I had some slight aches last night and this morning.  I pray that if they are from the accident that GOD reveals it to me (I am aging like a fine wine and not stinky cheese).

As I stated in the previous paragraph, I AM BLESSED.  I was thinking that I should be shouting, dancing and running due to the GOODNESS of the LORD (thinking only of the accident that I was in on yesterday, 7-20-19).  The HOLY GHOST immediately revealed to me that yesterday was not the first, only time and last time that GOD has or will BLESS me.  I began to say the following: LORD, I should STAY singing; LORD, I should STAY shouting;  LORD, I should STAY dancing; LORD, I should STAY waving my hands; LORD, I should STAY, “…STAND STILL AND SEE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD…”.

STAY (slang) is commonly used to describe someone or something that habitually repeats the same action. GOD STAY BLESSING; GOD STAY FAITHFUL; GOD STAY MERCIFUL; GOD STAY LONG-SUFFERING; GOD STAY BEING A WHEEL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WHEEL; GOD STAY GRACEFUL; GOD STAY BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR; GOD STAY LILY OF THE VALLEY AND THE ROSE OF SHARON.  GOD CONTINUOUSLY,  CONSTANTLY AND CONSISTENTLY BLESS HIS children. GOD STAY DOING SOMETHING!!!! THEREFORE, I CAN  BOLDLY DECLARE THAT

“…Nothing will separate ME from the LOVE of GOD which is in CHRIST JESUS….”

This morning I did not hesitate to get out of bed (4:50 a.m.). YES, I hit the snooze button but only once and I did not use all of my snooze time.  I knew that I HAD to share this morning.   As I “ramble” (type) on the computer and even before I began rambling (typing),  Tasha Cobbs’ For YOUR GLORY began to play in my head.  Just had a HOLY GHOST INTERVENTION as I am typing this (an instant revelation of the WHAT and WHY that you are currently experiencing-MY WORD AND MY DEFINITION).  The song, “For YOUR GLORY” was the answer to my WHY I AM I UP and sharing 5:00 o’clock in the morning on a Sunday during Summer Vacation?  The answer will and does seem clichesish (NEW WORD), For GOD’s GLORY and CLICHES are REAL.  My sharing is For HIS GLORY.

I will admit, confess and I HAVE REPENTED that I have not been GLORIFYING MY GOD IN REAL TIME (INREALTIME is the name of the supposedly weekly blog).  I had begun living in fear AGAIN.   Fear of messing up “AGAIN“, Fear of “Not getting it right” AGAIN, Fear of “Almost” AGAIN.  Fear of Not Having Enough AGAIN. Fear of Not Being Enough AGAIN.  FEAR OF THE BLESSINGS AND THE FAVOR OF GOD AND THEIR TANGIBLE MANIFESTATIONS (RECENT REVELATION). I WAS NOT DOUBTING THE POWER OF GOD. I KNEW AND KNOW THAT HE HAS, HE IS AND HE WILL (FILL IN THE BLANK).

THE ATTACK OF THE ENEMY HAD BEEN, HAS BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE EXTREMELY SEVERE AND LIFE-THREATENING (“KILL…STEAL AND DESTROY…”). THIS IS NOT A PHENOMENON.  THE ENEMY SEVERELY ATTACKS ALL OF GOD’S CHILDREN.

THE ATTACKS ON MY FAMILY, MY FRIENDS, MY HEALTH, MY MIND AND MOST IMPORTANTLY MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD WERE AND ARE AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE RELENTLESS. I ALLOWED FEAR TO IMPACT AND IMPEDE MY PRAISE AND WORSHIP.  I BEGAN TO LAMENT, WRING MY HANDS AND HOLD MY HEAD IN MY HANDS OVER THINGS THAT I WAS DELIVERED FROM. I WAS NOT PRAISING GOD FOR MY RESTORATION.

MY FEARS CAUSED ME TO ASK, NO CRY OUT “LORD WHEN WILL THE TANGIBLE MANIFESTATIONS OF YOUR BLESSINGS AND FAVORS BE SHOWERED UPON ME AND MY FAMILY.  GOD REVEALED THAT IT WOULD BE SOON!!!!

SOON. I AM WORKING HARDER AS I WAIT UNTIL SOON.  I AM WORSHIPPING AND PRAISING GOD MORE INTENSELY AND INTENTIONALLY AS I WAIT UNTIL SOON.  THIS WILL ALLOW ME TO PREPARE FOR ANOTHER ATTACK OF THE ENEMY BECAUSE I EXPECT ANOTHER ATTACK AS I WAIT UNTIL SOON.

MY TEARS THAT USE TO DROWN MY SORROWS ARE NOW WATERING THE SEEDS THAT WERE PLANTED FOR GOD’S GLORY AS I WAIT UNTIL SOON.

AND THIS IS WHY I CAN BOLDLY DECLARE AND DECREE

“…NOTHING will separate ME from the LOVE of GOD which is CHRIST JESUS…”

I have been trying to feel sorry for myself. I think.  I have been trying to cry over I DON’T KNOW.  I have been trying to complain about ALMOST EVERYTHING OR AT LEAST ABOUT SOMETHING and I CAN’T THINK OF NOTHING.  THANK GOD.

Sometimes LIFE feels uneventful and causes restlessness.  The restlessness, which I ONCE FEARED, has caused me to “FIND” SOMETHING, SOMEONE,  and many times, ANYTHING OR ANYONE to hang with, be with, talk to.  It caused me to take on more tasks and additional expenses and NEITHER were a part of GOD’s Plan.

THE FINDING OF SOMETHING, SOMEONE, ANYTHING OR ANYONE led me to WISH that my LIFE WAS UNEVENTFUL.  I HAVE MISSED SEVERAL BLESSINGS “FINDING” SOMETHING, SOMEONE, ANYTHING OR ANYONE DUE TO MY RESTLESSNESS AND TAKING ON MORE TASKS AND ADDITIONAL EXPENSES.  I WAS NOT BEING A GOOD STEWARD OVER MY TIME, RESOURCES AND ENERGY.

I NO LONGER FEAR RESTLESSNESS AND I FULLY EMBRACE MY BORING AND UNEVENTFUL LIFE WHICH I THOUGHT CAUSED MY RESTLESSNESS.  THE RESTLESSNESS HAS CAUSED ME TO CONTINUOUSLY AND CONSISTENTLY SEEK GOD.  I AM SOOO….. OVER THE DO-OVER.  I WANT TO GET IT RIGHT FOR HE IS GOD.  THE RESTLESSNESS HAS CAUSED ME TO WAIT (THAT AGAIN) AND DECLARE AND KNOW “UM…UM…SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN!!!” THE WAITING CONTINUES TO TEACH ME HOW TO TRUST GOD MORE AND DECLARE AND KNOW “UM…UM…SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN!!!” AND WITH GOD SOMETHING IS EVERYTHING, THEREFORE, 

“…NOTHING will separate ME from the LOVE of GOD which is CHRIST JESUS…”

As I am typing, I don’t know what to share.  I have written down several nuggets that I have heard throughout the week from various and varied sources: conversations with friends, listening to my scholars and their questions, sermons, movies, television shows commercials and MY OWN THOUGHTS.  I have also been observing people and situations. Yet, I do not know what to share.

Yes, life did and is happening as I type and GOD IS ALWAYS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, there have been and are some situations that cause me to IMMEDIATELY STOP, LIFT (MY HEAD AND HANDS) AND WORSHIP: my family, my friends, my health, my weariness, my anxieties, my fear, my finances.    I know I should have given it to HIM initially, but, (quoting Smoky from Friday)”…You know how we do…” I was STILL fixing and solving and carrying the weight of everyone’s cares and concerns.  I was overwhelmed and HAD to GIVE IT, ALL OF IT to the LORD.

Since I have been actively GIVING IT, ALL OF IT TO THE LORD, there’s this uncanny stillness and quietness that surrounds me.  I can’t explain it and I AM NOT AFRAID OF IT ANYMORE. I have limited to no contact with people.  Many of my relationships are in transition.  I NOW understand why they are in transition and I don’t cry as MUCH or as LONG or as HARD.  I AM LEARNING TO TRUST ONLY GOD AND WHEN IT APPEARS THAT HE IS FAR AWAY AND DOES NOT CARE, THE HOLY SPIRIT REMINDS ME TO:

STOP, LIFT AND WORSHIP-ELOHIM!!!

STOP, LIFT AND WORSHIP-YAHWEH!!!

STOP, LIFT AND WORSHIP-ABBA!!!

STOP, LIFT AND WORSHIP-EL ELYON!!!

STOP, LIFT AND WORSHIP-EL ROI!!!

STOP, LIFT AND WORSHIP-EL SHADDAI!!!

STOP, LIFT AND WORSHIP-JEHOVAH JIREH!!!

STOP, LIFT AND WORSHIP-JEHOVAH NISSI!!!

STOP, LIFT AND WORSHIP-JEHOVAH RAPHA!!!

STOP, LIFT AND WORSHIP-JEHOVAH SHALOM!!!

I STOP, LIFT AND WORSHIP BECAUSE…

THIS MORNING I did not wake up joyous.  As a matter of fact, I tossed and turned most if not all of the night.  I was bombarded with WHAT IFS and WHEN THIS.  I WAS WORRYING and it spilled over into THIS MORNING.  THIS MORNING. I WAS PLAYING AND REHEARSING HOW I WAS GOING TO ADDRESS AND DEAL WITH THE WHAT IFS AND WHEN THIS that I allowed to disturb my rest and attack my peace.

What if my job….when this president….what if my friends….when this promotion…what if my test or exam….when this treatment….what if I can’t….when this situation….what if and when this.  These are just a sampling of the WHAT IFS AND WHEN THIS  I was grappling with last night and THIS MORNING.  THIS MORNING. 

THIS MORNING and last night, I did not hear the birds singing.  Throughout the night and into the morning, the birds sing loudly, sounding like car alarms.  Yet, I did not hear them.  The WHAT IFS AND WHEN THIS was my focus.  THIS MORNING.

As I am typing this post, it dawned on me that THIS MORNING COMMEMORATES THE RESURRECTION OF MY LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.  I am not saying (typing in this case) that I DID NOT KNOW THAT IT IS RESURRECTION/EASTER SUNDAY. I went to our Easter program rehearsal yesterday, I purchased outfits for my two great-nephews (Demetrick and Kameroun).   The WHAT IFS AND WHEN THIS WAS MY FOCUS.

I just now opened my door to listen for the birds.  They are singing AND were singing last night and throughout the night.  I could not hear the birds singing praises because I was focused on the WHAT IFS and WHEN THIS and as I type the NOW WHAT? THIS MORNING.

THIS MORNING, I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN UP REJOICING BECAUSE HE LIVES.

THIS MORNING, I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN UP REJOICING BECAUSE HE REPLACED MY WHAT IFS AND WHEN THIS AND NOW WHAT? WITH SURELY!!!!!!

SURELY HE LOVES ME!!!!

SURELY HE IS FAITHFUL TOWARDS ME!!!!

SURELY HE IS MERCIFUL TOWARDS ME!!!!

SURELY HE EXTENDS HIS GRACE TOWARDS ME!!!!

SURELY HE PROTECTS ME!!!!!

SURELY HE PROVIDES FOR ME!!!!

SURELY!!!!

On my way to see Madagascar, the musical, at Circuit Playhouse, one of my jams (grape please) was playing on the radio. Yes, I still listen to music on the radio in the age of downloads. As I was typing (same as SAYING anyway), one of my jams, Tevin Campbell’s, I’m Ready, was playing and I was (you know how we do) singing with the volume up, I was swaying from side to side.  I was vibing as I was singing along with Tevin and sounding just like if not better (you know we all sound and sing exactly like the person whose song we are singing).
