I am watching God Grew Tired of Us. Wow. I am so moved, especially when the Dinka man and his tall glass of chocolate self. He talked about the young boys of Sudan that came to the United States. I am amazed at the men who believe that people who do not know their culture are like humans without land.
I complain every day about what is wrong. But, this film really made me feel like I was complaining about NOTHING. To be persecuted for being Black and Christian is crazy. Whey Black churches helping out? I am so confused sometimes I just want to stop complaining and stop gossiping because it is not helping ANYONE! I just cant imagine being separated from my children by force. The women is rejoicing to God in the airport in front of over 30 people. She does not care. That's how I want to be. I feel so proud to be African and American. I am so proud to say that I have not forgotten who I am and my ancestors.
Here are my babies.
Sometimes things, people, places you love reject you. But, God has a plan. Howard University is my heart. But, tuition rejected me! lol .So now I am at the University of Maryland College Park. And I can say praise God for the amazing people that I have met here!

New Year NEw Hope
Today is Jalise's 3rd Birthday. Wow. I cannot believe that my princess is 3 years old. It is amazing how God controls time. If it was up to me or anyone else, my life would be a lot different right now . I cannot believe that sooo much has changed within a 3 year time span. Nothing seemed to happen that quickly in high school. now im about to graduate (God willing) in December. I have two baby girls Jalise (bottom) and Jordan (top picture). I thought that I would not worry about camp. But, I do. I love the my girls going to camp. I pray to God it will be a blessing this year again.
This year will be difficult but it will bless our family ten fold. I am grateful to God that He has brought john and i a long way , because Lord knows we were both out of our minds. But to God be the glory (i feel like the old mothers in the church right now).
SCLC is such an amazing gift to my life. This group is comprised of amazing women that I would and have trusted my children with. I am soo happy to know that I can close my eyes and there wouldnt be any knives in my back! I didnt think we would get soo much done, but we did it!
