Into your throne room I come.
Just YOU and I alone.
Standing before you bare and transparent.
One by one I begin removing each mask I’ve ever worn from my face.
The lifetime of masks,
now falling at YOUR feet..
As I slowly watch them fall and fade away,
I realize, this is what You’d been waiting for all along.
No longer do I have to come into your presence, hiding beneath a façade of something or someone that I’m not.
I can now enter in as YOU made me, Unique, special, one of a kind.
With every trouble, issue, and problem.
I am able to now allow you to see into me.
Into your throne room I can come as YOU have always longed for,
Completely real, raw, and unmasked.

Warrior Unleashed
Arise warrior of God
And take your rightful place
On the front linesI have prepared you
for such a time as this
I know you are ready to fight
To go to the enemy's camp
And take back EVERYTHING

The devil has had it forway too long
Be not afraid

One mention of my name
and I'll be right there
With warring angels

To fight when you get weak
Go with boldness
and strength
Take back your joy, life, healing, freedom, authority, peace, ect
Snatch it out of the enemy's hands
And watch him run
For he knows he can'twin when he comes
up against a child
of the most high
Time out for the games devil
I'm prepared and ready to fight.

Single Beauty
Singleness really bothered me until I realized it could be used for God's Glory,
That made me focus on God instead of trying to get a mate to fill the void in my heart,
Which was in actuality a God shaped hole only He could fill and it showed me one of beauty even in my singleness,
Because I had a mindset of the scripture in 1cor. 7:34 that talked about a single woman whose not being tied down to the duties of the world or her husband but being free to concentrate on the things of God that please Him,
So to my black sista's of all ages and those alike,
I want to say keep your heads up always and strive to be all you can in Christ,
We are His wonders of true beauty with talents, gifts,
and anointed destinies who He proudly shows off,
as His most beloved possessions of high value, character, and love.

Heart Conversation with the Father
Wanting to go higher and deeper with the one who first loved me so,
Yet afraid of falling from His lovingkindness, mercy, and grace,
But realizing to that His love is so everlasting, pure, and true,
As I lay here quietly,
It is as though in my mind I can see,
The Father standing at the door of my heart,
Softly knocking and gently calling my name,
While hoping I would just let Him in,
Knowing in my mind He's a gentlemen and wont force himself on me,
All the while just wanting a yes,
Then it was as if I heard him say to me,
"My precious one, you don't have to hide beneath your worries, doubt, low self esteem, depression, and fear,
Because as you know I was once naked just like you and went through much suffering, agony, and pain,
Just to save you, set you free, and break down those walls and barriers that for so long kept you from me"
And with tears in my eyes I looked up and said "Father I'm scared to get close to you because I don't want you to ever leave me"
He looked at me with transparent sparkles in His eyes full of love and care and said,
"I will never leave you nor forsake you and my love for you is deeper than the oceans seas,
With this promise please my child take as true,
that I will always be with you even until this world down here called earth is done,
Then I will take you to your real home in the sky where all your worries, fears, and doubts of this world will be forgotten and left behind,
" So with that I finally stopped hiding under false securies and shame and said,
"Thank You Jesus, I love you, and welcome in".

Tiny Little Fighter
Out of my mother's womb I came,
So small and fragile, 1 pound I weighed,
Clinging on tight against all the odds,
Even for a new born baby this I was,
Not knowing why or how but just knowing, somehow I had to hang on,
Even when the enemy came to steal me,
God said "No, For I have a plan for her life,
To use her in a mighty way,
To touch and effect others spirits for my glory",
This is how I knew I was His chosen,
Even from the time I was born.

Princess Crystal
I am a princess and He is the king,
I can ask for anything in His name and by faith I shall recieve,
There is nothing to hard for Him to do, If only I believe, In Him, my wildest dreams can be achieved,
In His arms of love He holds me while letting me know that I am indeed still His,
Through the hard times He will be with me, Guiding and keeping me day by day,
Like a loving father He shall protect me, Nothing I have to fear because He is for me and not against,
I love Him for who He has created me to be, My calling and destiny in Him has already been set, His hand picked and chosen am I, In him is a safety only He can hold and can be found in Him, He wants a one on one relationship with me, Between father and daughter only,
So that He can share His heart and I mine,
Always willing and able to fight my battles, when they get to hard,
So when the enemy comes with his lies I know God will be right beside me to help me through, And that it'll be alright,
He'll rescue me out of the devils hands when I stray or go to far, For my Daddy God is always with me and that makes me love Him all the more,
Because He is my Daddy and I am in the palm of His eternal hand.

Great things come in small packages written appx 1999
It was April 13th 1983 at 6:30 in the evening. I was born in my mother's 5th month of pregnancy, which in turn made me 4 months premature. I weighed 1 pound and 3 ouces at birth. After I was born I had a brain hemorrhage that almost took my life, but the doctors were able to get it under control. I had my first surgery being just hours old. The surgery was to close a valve in my little heart. I was supposed to e born in August but I came early. I stayed in the hospital for the first four months of my life. I was so premature that I had to be transferred to North Memorial Hospital after two of the four months at the hospital where I was born. While in the hospital my skin was so transparent that no one could hold me except the nurses and doctors that cared for me. My parents and family were not allowed to touch me because they could have peel off layers of skin which would have been very painful for me. My eyes and ears were still fused to my head and my digestive system was not fully developed at the time. When I was finally able to go home I had a heart monitor attached to me so that my parents could watch to see how my heart was working. I had no sound in my voice. When I cried no one knew unless they saw me with a sad face with tears in my eyes and down my little cheeks. When I was born the doctors thought I was not going to make it. They told my parents that they were going to put me on my mother's chest and let my family and loved ones say their final good-byes and then wait until I died. After having gone through this hard and almost fatal experience I have learned to overcome the way I walk and talk. From this obstacle I have also learned to accept my disability, mild cerebral palsy. It affects the way I walk and talk. From it I have left side paralysis, half blind in my left eye, walk with a limp, and talk with a low-raspy voice. Through all these obstacles I have learned to live life to the fullest, to not take anything for granted, and to cherish every special thing that happens to me in my life. Life to me is saying that I am worth something because I fought and did not settle for death but was determined and willing to fight to stay alive and live. I did not do this for myself but for my family and loved ones that were praying and helping me survive by being there and caring for me. I can now say that I can overcome all things because on April 13 I overcame and beat the odds and lived.
