Standing Fury

Man, how quickly the adversary moved to attack my testimony about peace. That's okay because I'm going to continue to stand firm and confess: Peace! Over our relationship. I refuse to let the devil steal what God has given me.

In everyone's lives we all have been through some things. Every relationship is tested and ever person must choose whether they are going to stand or throw in the towel. You see, I've never been scared of a challenge nor have been one to give up. I've learned to stand firm. But if another chooses to walk away while I'm standing firm, that's on them.

One thing about standing firm is I've learned I'm going to ache, hurt, and even grow tired. But in waiting, there comes a reward. So no matter what, the next few weeks or months hold in store, I am going to stand firm.

Man, I love my husband. Will do anything for him. But I won't give up on him or us. Rone won't let you do that when everything else demands that you do. It's something I see in him and believe about him that makes me so sure this is right. Therefore, I stand firm!

I stand firm in the belief that when God speaks, so shall it be. I know it's easier to listen to the people, fear, or doubt—but we lose out on our blessings by doing so. However, hard as it may be, I remain standing firm.

I'd never deny him the chance to spread his wings and fly. They say true love that's meant to be will always come back. I'd stand firm in belief for him and me because i know God is not a man who'd lie. I just wouldn't keep him if he felt he'd be happier somewhere else because I believe God would bring him back to me.

I stand firm in my commitment to you, James Calvin Miller. I love you, now and always. I want you to be happy. I want to make you happy. I want to be queen to your king, heart to your soul, your all in all. I really do. I stand firm.

I know that I may not always say things as I should or do things the way you expect, but I try so hard. I know you think I'm nothing but drama, but I don't try to be. You find things you don't like and call that drama. That's okay, I'm standing firm in my ability to change.

I stand firm in the new me that God is constantly changing from glory to glory. I stand firm in not letting you or anyone else speak over me—that I can't change or have the new life promised to me by God. I stand firm in loving you. I stand firm in my loyalty to you. And more than you know, I stand firm in my peace.

I love you.

Be blessed.

To My Nation

Ten years ago, we as a nation felt tragedy on a level unknown, as we were attacked on our own soil. You could not not be affected by the tragedy of 9-11-01. We as a whole grieved, mourned, and survived.

They've overcame the odds in NYC and DC. They pulled together and, as a family, made the necessary changes to rebuild. As a family, they remember the ones who gave their lives for our country that day.

I can remember exactly where I was, what I was wearing, what I was doing when I first heard of the attack on the Towers. I'm sure every American can say the same if they were old enough to understand what happened that day. It impacted us on different levels, but we were all affected all the same.

We as a nation endured and we as a national shall be able to face anything. I don't think we will ever fully know why this tragedy touched our lives, but we are to use it to better us as a country.

My nation, we need to get on our faces as the Word of God says and "repent." We are in perilous times. The tragedy of Sept. 11th was a forewarning of things to come. We can see the signs of nature doing crazy things.

We are in our last days, my nation. It's time to fast and pray. For we who endure till the end shall inherit our crowns.

To all the first responders and soldiers of my nation, may God bless and keep you in Jesus' name. Come home safe.

Be blessed.

Peace at Last
Thank you, Jesus!

My baby and I had a hell of a lot of things to walk through in a two month period. At last though, there is peace. I love him more for the way he preserved. I know though, all glory belongs to God.

I think we both may have questioned if this relationship was worth it. I do believe we both concluded that it was because we overcame the attack of the enemy.

I am very thankful for the peace in our lives. Man, it's nothing store bought. It's what the power of the Word of God and prayer can do for a relationship. Things aren't perfect, but God is alive and in the midst of us.

I know that James is a very good man. One that God has preordained for me. Therefore, our trials feel more personal, deeper and on levels that we at times may not understand. However, I believe the reward will be great.

At this time, we are playing the waiting game with parole. Counting down... If I'm not mistaken, 78 days. Lord willing, I'll be out there celebrating with him.

One thing I'm fully confident in... what God joins together... nothing can separate.

Be blessed.
