God has put a compassion in my heart for the elderly, my leaders and at risk youth, especially males. However, my focus these days have been with the elderly. During the first start of the pandemic, when everyone was in a panic and store items like lysol, clorox, and disinfectants was scarce, God placed a burden on me to ensure the elderly and my leaders were taken care of and had what they needed. I wasn’t working at the time, so money was scarce, but God!!! I received an unexpected check in the mail from my deceased cousins pension fund in which I was a beneficiary. He put me in position to be in the store lines early in the mornings (sometimes 2-3 times a day) to purchase these items for the elderly mothers I knew who were not able to go out for themselves. At His prompting, I would race down to the stores and there was always a stocked shelf. I would also call others in the church and hold items until they get there. Then God gave the ultimate favor of the inside hook-up. I ran into an old friend that knew someone who worked as a stocker at Sam’s Club who would let us know when shipment was in. In addition, how can I forget how God had me home, in New Orleans at the the very start of shutdown and I was able to stock my very own elderly parents, my elderly aunt, and elderly parent of one of my BFF’s. God is Good and He’s Faithful.
At some point God turned my desire/passion into a burden to pray for elders of The Church (local and universal). I have presented a two-fold proposal (Habakkuk 2:2 vision) to the Elders Council at church: 1) Monthly prayer time for elders to pray together for each other and our leaders; 2) Elders will begin to prepared Biblical teaching videos, accessed via the church website.
I strongly believe that God is using me to rebuild relationships with my family to show them how to be humble and trust him by the work placed in my hands? And that work is bridging gaps of distrust, honest, and lack because of the trust not by letting people or family in their space. God has entrusted in my hands to lead and direct his children unto salvations and filled with His Holy Spirit through FAITH!
I have heard Holy Spirit say to begin slow and tread lightly. To begin with my 4 girls and He will do the rest. God is preparing me for the task at hand.
God placed on my heart, a while ago, my family…the females. My immediate family consist of (me, my seed and my seed’s seeds). My extended family consist of (my siblings, their seeds, and their seed’s seeds).
There are a total of approximately 30 females in my family.
-Myself & my seed, & my seed’s seed = 5
-My brother & his female seed’s seeds = 5
-My sister & her seeds, her seed’s seeds & yy -great-great nieces = 18
Other than my parents, I am one of the first of immediate family to know Jesus imtimately.
I definitely have not always got it right all of the time with my family.
Giving my sister any type of guidance, in the form of advice when I see areas of concern with what she allow to take place in her household and in her presence, is very challenging. Downright difficult.
Because of her negative energy with me, that every has been imposed on her seed and with 80% of them they don’t want to hear anything I have to say. The other 20% will call when they can’t get results with my sister. I have no relationtionship with the 80%; other than them speaking to me to say “Hey Aunt Cookie.”.
I really struggle with how to allow my light to shine.
I have learned to love them as they are, where they are.
I do apologize, I didn’t post my homework, I did speak on it Sunday.
GOD has used me to speak and encourage those with addictions, those that has been in abusive relationship,God has used me to be the light for my Family in this season, he has allowed me to provide shelter for then until they were able to stand on their on and in the last 2yrs God has been connecting me to great leaders hat pulled me out of religion thinking to allow me to be a light for them to see that God is truly real, and I’m not in a cult, that God is elevating me that we can grew together especially my mom, this spiritual growth is spilling over into her life. GOD IS USING ME TO REBUILD THE WALL IN MY FAMILY AND OTHERS LIFE.
God has used me to connect to children and youth and their parents, as well as reconnect with my 97 year old father to make sure that the spiritual component (SALVATION) “the Sinner’s Prayer” and having intercessors and myself pray for him is in place while he’s still alive. I hope I explained it to be understood.
I have to first to hear from God as to what I need to do to rebuild myself before praying and deed to change something for others. However, I have been charged to be in constant prayer and deed to change somethings in the lives of children, especially children of incarcerated parents and their caregivers as well as assisting community, as well as praying for my family.
God has used me to be a light and witness for him ; I help to rebuild, encourage and inspire us. As, I am typing this GOD reminded me not to get comfortable to keep trusting him and pursing what he says because he GOT me!
God has used me to connect to Women who struggle like myself with “Weight Loss” to create a platform which is my Global Prayer Home to help them find who they are and to be delivered from their pass. We meet once a week via Zoom/Bible Study and various topics dealing with daily “weights” we carry. It has been life changing we have removed layers of things that has weighed us down for years.

I have a burden to pray for people who experienced domestic violence, single parents, and people who experienced abuse in their church community.
