Good Reports--All

It's been a while. I missed you.

Well, the Cardiologist said that the EKG revealed NO evidence of heart attack activity. Amen. Thank you, Jesus! The following week he had me come back to do an ECHO. I will know the results when I go back to my primary doctor later this month. I'm believing that it will be yet another GOOD REPORT.

Now, I need to get some of the weight up off me so that I can hang out on the stage with you for a 90-minute show. I think I hear my treadmill muffling my name as it is in the stowaway position, as it has been for months now. Confession is good for the soul. It's the first step OUT OF DENIAL.

Also, I attended my first meeting with the Black Women Playwrights' Group. Awesomely talented and jazzy group of ladies, indeed. It was evident that God had gone before me and with me. Such favor is only meted out by God. They had a sistah on the weep as one of the Playwrights surprised me and everyone else, I believe, by reading aloud something from a page in my book that she just flipped to...per chance? I know that not be the case.

God is truly amazing. The whole day was like a confirmation from the Lord that I am right where I'm supposed to be -- doing what I am supposed to be doing.

You've been there to haven't you? And you'll be there again and again and again. God just loves us like that. And I love you -- sight seen and unseen. Thank you for saying a prayer for me.

Prophetic Word:
Deuteronomy 1:25
Taking with them some of the fruit of the land, they brought it down to us and reported, "It is a good land that the LORD our God is giving us."

Flap and Flutter On...

Let me tell you what’s gnawing at on the outskirts of my mind. You got a moment for me?

A recent visit to my doctor included an EKG which she interpreted with what I heard as mixed reviews. The review that most mixed was “there is some sort of abnormality that was picked up and while it may be nothing serious, I am referring you to a Cardiologist.” Now, I know my history contains a Mitral Valve Prolapse (flap)…which is just produces an irregular heart beat and means that whenever I have dental surgery I have to take antibiotics prior to the procedure, as having such a Prolapse means that I am susceptible to developing some sort of vegetation around my heart. So, I am hoping that is ALL the EKG is sensing…something that I’ve lived well with for many years…probably since birth.

But here’s where the “gnaw” is coming in. The enemy of my soul wants to whisper words of doubt, like “See you won’t be able to do a one-woman show. It’s too late. Your heart won’t hold up to a 90 minute performance.”

It’s so freeing to speak what only the mind hears. For the fears, doubts die in the light of exposure. The light of God shines on the molehill that secrecy builds into a mountain and smashes it into smithereens (that’s a word you don’t see everyday).

Oh, how I thank God for the Word that is louder than the whispers. It shuts up the taunts of the enemies of our souls. I hear it now—God’s Word. The Holy Spirit reminds me that my life and times are in God’s hands…and to not give up in doing good for in due season, I shall reap a reward.

In the meantime, I thank God for every flap and flutter of my heart. As long as there is breath there is HOPE.

Galatians 6:9
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Acts 20:24
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.

Can't Give Up

Sometimes it feels like the dream is too big, that I've been in the breaking and making so long that I want to lay down by the side of the road--ENOUGH.

Bottomline, I can not give up now. I've written one too many sentences, cried one too many tears, prayed one too many prayers, praised one minute too long, dug one foot too deep to give up now. I have to press my way. You know the feeling...I'm determined to live in my destiny--God being my helper. PRESS ON!

So The Journey Begins...

So the journey begins. I Say A Prayer For Me: The One Woman Show. The script is complete now..
Show me, Lord.

Psalm 127:1 (New International Version)
(A song of ascents. Of Solomon.)
1 Unless the LORD builds the house,
its builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the watchmen stand guard in vain.

Soloman learned that truth--sealed in his heart by the finger of God--and recorded for all time so that we can receive the wisdom it contains--if we so choose.

And so, I chose to apply this truth--even to my books, my plays, my life....

Unless the LORD builds this one woman show, I build in vain.

Lord God Almighty, I look to YOU for everything I need to do what I believe You birthed me to do. Continue to order my steps, grant me favor with You, people, and institutions. Grant me Your wisdom and patience. Build this show, Father. I pray that you meet the people within each scene and I seek to glorify ONLY YOU. Above all I could think I want, I understand that YOU know ALL things. So more than anything, I want YOUR perfect will to be done in this and every area of my life. I ask this is Jesus' Name. Amen. So be it and so it is!
