Her Story

June 8, 1975 God sent forth an angel to walk the Earth with wings that weren’t clipped because they weren’t developed. An unaware Eagle without a clue what step she should take next, who lived in fear because she was afraid to fly, and was bound because it was many years before she left the nest because she was always afraid to take risks, she was afraid to hear the opinions of others. An Eagle that was forced to learn how to fly on her own, an eagle that didn’t receive the proper support from her family to continue to fly.

As a child she often times found herself talking to her imaginary daughter Tika and imaginary husband Laundromat to erase the loneliness she felt, to discard her feelings of abandonment, neglect, and low-self esteem. The same child that took on a major responsibility of being a prayer warrior for her family was the same child who smiled through her pain. The same child that found herself molested is the same child that found herself standing in the gap for her love ones when they couldn’t stand at all. She was the same child that would go days, weeks, or maybe a month or so without seeing her father is the same woman who accepted her father again as an adult.

This woman is indeed an angelic Eagle! An Eagle is a very large bird that awaits for the next storm because it has an opportunity to soar to its highest heights. An Eagle uses the pressures of the winds, and the updrafts to press against its wings so it can continue moving upward and towards its next destination for such a time as this. The same woman who realized that there was a God after being in an abusive relationship for about four years suffering from a chair thrown at her head repeatedly and a foot print on the side of her head while the other side lay on the glass attacked concrete. After being an alcoholic since middle school, a drug-dealer, and a victim of rape is the same woman who prayed and fought for her family spiritual transformation while managing to be the first high school graduate in her family.This great woman of faith overcame every obstacle that was meant to bring her down, knock the Eagle out the sky, and stop her from reaching the heights of glory. The same woman who escaped every trap the devil set for her and even the holes she had dug herself decided not to let her life be destroyed, her dreams be unrealistic, and aspirations to fall by the waste side. After being in a household with alcoholics, drug addicts and verbal abusers she made a step to move out naturally to prepare herself for God’s spiritual move. With her one year old child she continued to press toward the mark and pray on through her problems. This woman of God received a word from God in the year of 1997 telling her to get her house in order. She answered to God and at that point she made a conscious decision to never turn back.

She worked at a transitional living center Call for HELP, helping teenagers with the same untold story as hers. She took these teenagers to church faithfully, connected with them, bonded with them as she did with her own child. Soon she was to be terminated from her job not understanding why because she worked with the power of God reigning. From then on having a stable job seemed hard to accomplish. Volunteering and working to fulfill the purpose of God often times left her drained in every way possible. She continued to be faithful to God attending church everyday of the week even that became draining for her; especially since no one at the church seem to help her, but only talk about her for numerous reasons one for her having a child out of wedlock.

After so many years of being apart of an unhealthy ministry she made a transition to higher heights and deeper depths. Still she remained a faithful attendant of church. She found herself being misused for her gifts, talents, money, and time to put on a show for people and not for ministry. After having another child out of wedlock she hid herself from the world, and masked her inner being because of the embarrassment she felt and even
