Happy Mother’s Day Moms from our Random Notes May 2006.
Hello everyone and greetings in the name of the LORD!
Next event – May 14th – I am thrilled and honored to sing “Your Our Beautiful Baby” words and music by Mary Woods, this Sunday for the dedication of their son David, at my home church here in Nashville. Their family will be coming in for the event. No pressure there – LOL! Please keep me in your prayers!
Friday, Hope Fest Jamz 2006, Murfreesboro, TN, was fantastic. What an amazing group of talented and loving people – 4GVN, Fly Faith Ladies, Narrow Gate, Ricky B and of course Chap. Brown and family. I am blessed to rub elbows with them and share our passion! There was a sweet spirit in the place. The fellowship was incredible! All the money raised from ticket sales is to benefit the Hope Center
Sunday, at Mt Moriah Baptist Church, Memphis, TN, boy did we have a time in the Lord! I shared my testimony of how God delivered me from being a Jehovah’s Witness and then spoke on “Finding Our Identity In Christ Through Paul’s Example.” Many people shared how they were encouraged by the message God laid on my heart to share with them. I think at some point everyone struggles with their identity, I know I do – but put Christ in your life and He will become your identity!
Walking in Memphis
“Mt Moriah was founded in 1879. The oldest church in the area, It was relocated to this site in 1883, predating the Orange Mound community by seven years. A vernacular-sandstone building, the present edifice was completed in 1926, during the pastorate of the Rev. A. D. Bell (1926-1945).
The Rev. Roy W. Norsworthy, a Memphis civil rights leader, served as pastor from 1946-1986. In 1996, the 300-member church, under the Rev. Harvey B. Jackson, hosted the Progressive National Baptist Convention, Inc.” (taken from the historical marker in front of the church – the Tennessee Historical Commission)
What an honor for me to be able to walk where those who fought for the day that “a person will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character,” walked. My family and I love history. This was a very deep and spiritual experience for me. Thank God that He knows our hearts and it matters not to God what our bodies are housed in.
I am blessed to have made some new friends over the weekend and I find it amazing how God can unite a bunch of people who have never met! I imagine this is how it will be in heaven! Check out the photos from the weekend.

and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all”. – 2 Corinthians 4:16-17, NIV
