CLAIMING VICTORY

Some of you may know I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in '93. I have fought battles no one knows of in defiance of it having total victory over my life. Only a few have known I have been home bound for the past 2 1/2 years. I say his now as a proclamation that MY LIFE IS CHANGING FOR THE BETTER AS I THINK, SPEAK AND WRITE. Multiple Sclerosis is an uncomfortable major nuisance in my life. I've lost so much and had to give up so much.

There is a WINNING aspect to my story and that is the SPIRIT MY FATHER embedded within me and I found at eight years old and have been living forward with through my 52nd year. MY WINNING IS TRANSFORMATIVE, I AM TRIUMPHANT and MY FATHER is leading me through this obstacle course too. I PROFESS MY VICTORIES and I can barely stand, I can only walk a few steps aided by a walker with all the other unspoken effects,  but......I CLAIM MY VICTORIES THEY BELONG TO ME -  AND I CHALLENGE YOU TO DO THE SAME! Stay tuned as I update on my progress and hope to inspire others on their journey along the way.  BE BLESSED!

PSALM 23

 
The following is the most amazingly powerful and beautifully poetic of the scriptures I have read. I plan to share in part why I can emphatically proclaim this at some other time. If you'll just meditate upon the words yourself,  you also probably understand at times that's a day and night responsibility to get to the blessing.

When GOD delivers your answer, I don't want or need to know what it is but please let me know it made a difference.(Contact me through the inbox if you'd like but please share.)

 Another confirmation of this power was just revealed to me a few minutes ago as I left this writing to check email and looked at my feed on FB and saw a friends message. So, as I sit here wanting to go outside on my own, it's such a beautiful day, regain my total independence, walk unaided, drive again, all the things I miss.  I KNOW and I PROCLAIM,  MY GOD IS AND WILL SUPPLY ALL MY NEEDS. Some of the wants are and will be manifested as a fringe benefit/by product of the need being met!.



PSALM 23
 THE LORD IS MY SHEPARD!

      The LORD is MY SHEPARD; I shall not want.

   ²HE maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.

   ³HE restoreth my soul: HE leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for HIS name's sake.

   ⁴Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for THOU art with me;

     THY rod and THY staff they comfort me.

   ⁵THOU preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: THOU anointest my head with oil;

      my cup runneth over.

   ⁶Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:

      and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

PANTS ON THE GROUND - LARRY PLATT

Sorry the image didn't load, but please click on - the message is worth watching and if nothing else, you will laugh out loud (LOL) since it is funny.

This man, Larry Platt is my buddy of the week, maybe longer. He said something to the world with over 1.6 million YouTube hits and now with so many others mimmicking him on video. I have challenged young men and even young women to have respect not just for themselves but others to pull up their pants. I surely don't like seeing not only their underwear, but the shape and contours of their funky looking hind parts while in the street. Back to Mr. Platt, I hope he finds a way to benefit from his viral firestorm - others will be making money from it, why shouldn't he.  He already has creative license to it, I just want that if anyone benefits financially from it, it will be him. Young people may not even know that's a jailhouse culture they're living out  on the streets along with the untied shoes. Why brand your life with such a negative comparison. My Mother would have to tried killing me the first time she saw it - if I would have been so stupid to think it was okay.

FOR THE RECORD, THIS IS NOT JUST AN URBAN ISSUE. CHECK OUT YOUNG FOLK AROUND THE WORLD! Thank you Mr. Platt for your contribution in opening the conversation in a big way and making the world I hope a better place.
