It seems like yesterday that things that were happening in my life over seventy years ago, demands that I trust in the loving purpose of a Sovereign God. I have learned to trust that He is in control – especially when life seems out of control. I am prospering and am always hopeful because as a blessed African American woman, I accept my responsibility to give back to the people in this country as much as it has given to me. I will always acknowledge my roots, as they are more important than ever. I am an empty vessel but am versed with a spiritual being to complete a mission for God. And I have an angel or angels who have guided me all my days. They are sent from my Sovereign Creator.

Even though the concept of a black soldier actually being allowed to be a real soldier and go into combat his accomplishments are still often ignored. His/her achievements are still overlooked unless he dies in combat or accomplishes something extremely unusual. The black soldier still suffers adversity and animosity both in wars and in his private life. Our documents are erased or viciously omitted. Yet African American soldiers continually dare to dream of a better life as they fight for justice and equality at home and abroad.

My motto is: “Instead of harming ourselves and our children with opium and other drugs, alcohol, sex, guns and hatred, malice and racism, we as Blacks and Whites, Latinx and Asians and Indians and all in between need to manage disappointment, poverty, and living with stress to the extent that our choices allow us to leverage intelligence and energy in order to produce and create a level beyond “good enough” to outstanding. A parent or guardian’s responsibility as caregiver to their children’s mental, physical and moral development provides an impetus to make the world in which their children live be a better place to live. We must help our new generations make a clear path for the future and make the future a reality, creating a time in which our current struggles are nothing more than a distant memory. A moral voice must be available to all Americans as we make a concerted effort to value and respect and love all our Creators creatures -great or small.

IT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED that African Americans have been and are still being subjected to marginalized and harsh treatment today in America. We came to the Americas a million years ago and helped build this wilderness country. It is incumbent upon us as a nation to come to grips with the humanness of all people and treat each other with respect and love, acknowledging each other’s skills, talents and achievements. We are a strong nation of people. Let’s not allow the weak, racial prejudicial side of us to rule us. We can only move forward if we have a collective truthful and faithful heart. There is something inherent in all of us that should not be stifled or extinguished. We are all put on earth for a specific purpose. All generations should be given an opportunity to be what we can be as our Creator ordained it.

OUR CREATOR IS BESIDE US ALWAYS AND WE ARE NEVER ALONE. WE CAN WALK AND BELIEVE IN SOMEONE OTHER THAN MANKIND. IT IS PROMISING TO SEE YOUNG PEOPLE, OUR GRANDCHILDREN, DIRECTING OTHER PEOPLE AND DEVELOPING A SENSE OF HUMILITY AND DISCERNMENT WITH A GIVING SPIRIT. THERE IS SOMETHING INHERENT IN ALL OF US THAT SHOULD NEVER BE EXTINGUISHED. THE GENERATIONS TO COME SHOULD BE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE WHAT THEY CAN BE, AS WE ARE ALL PUT ON EARTH FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE. WE LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING AND SEE SIGNS OF CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ARE YET TO COME. THIS IS THE BEST OF TIMES AND THE WORSE OF TIMES, WRITTEN BY CHARLES DICKENS. YET THERE IS A PRESENCE OF LIGHT THAT CAN ONLY BE GIVEN BY THE ONE WHO CREATED ALL THAT WE ARE AND HAVE.

There are millions of innocent children of the world who deserve love, respect, concern and loyalty. Jesus said many times, “ Suffer the little children to come to me and do not bother them.” Innocent children are untrained, undisciplined and lacking in capacity or experience. Many children suffer today like never before. They need helping navigating their way through the system of life while protecting and respecting themselves. Real life does not teach great lessons in times of ease and prosperity, joy and comfort. Children’s greatest character- building and faith-strengthening lessons mostly come during times of difficulties and suffering. From the time we are born until our death, God doesn’t waste anything – not even our heartaches and trials. Many innocent children are blessed with the empowerment of faith, education and experience of joy they deserve. This is god-sent and shows God’s love of human life. He said “I will show you a most excellent way : LOVE. What we do for others, defines who we are.

Our lives will be pulled from the ashes many times, and those times will bring good purposes in our lives. Individualism and independence are at the heart of being American. There will always be many ambition- driven challenges, many events you will not foresee. You will handle some well and some badly. For there is no adequate preparation for all of life’s situations and relationships. There is no such thing as perfection when it comes to relationships that exist between people, especially the relationships between a man and woman. It is possible to have a good relationship with persons in your life, once you first have that relationship with yourself. But with the Creator’s help, you will prevail, you will not fail. We must open doors wide to let others in to learn and to mature. Our Creator will fix our hearts to become involved in reaching and bringing a lost world to Him.
