My Trip to Detroit

I have to tell you about my miracle! You've got to know. I felt that I could get an earlier flight going home to Detroit. I was excited, but my ticket was for a later time. I decided to take my chances and get to the airport early. If worse came to worse, I would be sitting their all day.


Anyway, when I got to the airport, the lines were very look and my chances looked slim. However, I expected a miracle, though I was really scared. I did get tot he front of the line in a timely fashion--that means that my mommy hadn't left yet. They told me that I would at the front of the waiting list.

I proceeded through check-in and took my seat. While sitting, I met a young lady who had been there at least 24 hours. She had spent the night there, and didn't think that she would make it in time for her best friend's wedding. She was waiting to go stand-by, just like me.

I said to her, "In Jesus' name, I'm flying out on this next flight, and so are you!" I was really emphatic about my stance, but she was a bit hopeless.

As we sat and talked about her best friend, who lives in Michigan, time slipped by. I kinda lost track of time, actually. But soon, I heard my name being called to board the flight. I was totally ecstatic!

I could tell my friend was happy for me, but sad for herself. I told her, "Don't give up. You're next." And I prayed really hard that God was listening to me right then and I wouldn't look like a fool. And guess what? Her name was called next. She got to go too!

We didn't get to sit together, however. I did my usual thang--sleep on the plane--but when I sat down, I praised God fully for allowing me to get on that plane!

Something happened on the way off, the stewardess told me that someone was waiting to help me off the plane. It was my newest friend. Who came to help me and thank me for praying for her! I was so full of boldness right then. I told her, that it was my pleasure and that Jesus loved her and wanted to show himself to her.

If I never got to see her again, which I knew I wouldn't, I was greatful for what the Lord had done! I was thankful for His miraculous hand in my life! God had shown, in flesh, that He loved me!

My Trip to Detroit

I have to tell you about my miracle! You've got to know.

When I got to the airport, the lines were truly long. My mom and I went through the lines praying, praising, and believing God. I gave her the verse the Lord had given me--Acts 27:25. I was truly scared, Chris and I prayed last night. Now, here was the time for a miracle to be performed.

When I finally got up to the counter, I was told that all the seats were sold out. However, I would be first on the stand-by list. Though I heard this news, I didn not quiver. All I knew is that I had to be on this flight. The Lord had done so much, that I felt that there was a seat for me.

When I got up to gate A12, I met a girl named Cali. We talked and talked. She told me how she had been waiting on stand-by for two days. She had a wedding in Michigan that she needed to attend and was very hopeful to get on this plane. I began to pray that not only I would have a seat, but my new friend, Cali, would have one too.

Well, the flight attendant came over to announce my seat on the 9:10 flight. I would be sitting in E19. Tears came to my eyes as I thanked the Lord for working the miracle He had promised to do. However, I wasn't satisfied. I would not be satisfied until I knew that Cali would have a seat too.

I got on my flight for free. I didn't have to pay anything for standing by because when I requested a seat, there were not available. As I was getting comfortable, Cali ran up to tell me that she, too, had gotten on the plane. I was so happy. Now, she wouldn't miss her best friend's wedding after all!

At the end of our flight, the flight attendant told me that someone was waiting to assist me. Well, guess who it was? Cali! She had told them that she wanted to help me back down to baggage claim. Now that was a miracle full circle!

Thank you Lord Jesus for being a wonderful God!!! I love you, Lord.

On My Way to Detroit!!

Wonder where I've been since my last post? Well the subject says it all. Today, I'm on my way to Detroit!!!! I'm soooooo excited!!!!!


Ac 27:25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

I'm going this morning on stand-by. Now, here's a miracle that is unfolding. My flight isn't until tonight at 6:05. However, I plan on getting on the 9:10 AM flight. Yes, it's sold out. However, I will have a seat on that plane. Someone might have an emergency.... anything. But, Sharonda B. Greenlaw will be on that plane. I'll be sure to write about this miracle when I get to a computer.

I'm looking forward to seeing my father and all my friends. I didn't really have a place to stay. My daddy called this morning and told me that he has prepared a room for me in his house. I've got two other friends who I have room in their house too while I'm there. God, my Father, has already prepared the way for me.

I'll be in Detroit until Tuesday morning. Rusty is with my Mommy C.G. and her family. Yes, I miss his little feet running across the home. I miss his chain jingling when he walks. I miss taking him out for his park times. But it's all a happy miss. I know that he's being well taken care of.

I'll miss my husband--whose birthday was yesterday. Go Chris!! God is really doing a work in his life. He is continually changing for the better. It's an absolute pleasure being around him--well... most of the time. *lololol* No. For real. He's a good guy.

I'll miss my mommy--riding to and from work with her; Going over her house; and all that jazz. I'll miss my sister too. Laughing and such with her crazy self.

I'll miss my co-workers. We're such a family there. We all have our little "issues," but we are a family. I reall love that too. It is something very special.

But it will all be a happy miss. It will give me great reason to come home to Arizona. I'll enjoy myself in Detroit. And I'll be happy to come home to Arizona.

Boy last year, when I first got here, I never thought I'd be loving Arizona and calling it home. My God! Things have changed!!!

I'll keep yall updated, in my usual late fashion, of my happenings in Detroit.

Happy Mother's Day!

I just wanted to send a quick note wishing all the mothers--whether they have physical children or just wonderful mentors and role modes--the happiest Mother's Day ever.

As I think about this great holiday, I think of Sister Nicole Hendrix. She has been greatly used of the Lord to help me to grow spiritually. I grew by leaps and bounds and have learned countless things under her personal tutellage.

I think about Pastor Thomasyne Faulkner. A woman of God who saw greatness in me. She took me under her wing and allowed me to shepherd her flock, lead praise and worship, and preach at her fold, Spirit Filled Ministries. Never afraid to see the hidden things in people and bring them to the light. I love you!

I think of my newest edition to my mommy list--Dr. Christine Grubb. She not only has been the greatest mobility teacher ever, but she's hung in there with me, right beside me, through thick and thin. She's got the heart of gold and is a wise woman full of advice, but most of all--love. Though we work apart, I know that if anyone is in my corner, Christine is. And if I need her for anything, she's right there for me. I love you, mom.

And last but not least, I'm wishing my own mother, Voin White, the happiest Mother's Day ever. Thanks for being a friend and a role model. Thanks for being a strong woman for me to look up to.

Today, the family went to Sizzler's Steakhouse. We had a great time. It was full of laughter and joy. Each person said something great to Mommy about her.

Nikka even paid for my meal. She thanked me for helping to raise her. That truly touched my heart. May 13 has been great.

Debt Cancellation

I am so excited! You know, we've been doing International School of
Ministry (ISOM) at church on Wednesday nights. One of the brothers in
my group is really being vocal about debt cancellation. I have heard
him but have tended to push it to the back of my mind because of my
discouragement.

You see? Before being laid off, moving to Arizona,... before life
happened, I was a great payer of my bills. I believed in it. But after
life happened, I got discouraged. It seemed that the more I paid, the
more the bill escalated. I got so discouraged until I finally said,
"What is the use?" So I just stopped paying them. I ignored the calls
of the bill collectors, and sat back and waited for the "debt
cancellation by faith" but so come my way.

But last night, something happened. As there was only me and him in
our group, and we were praying, I began to tell him how I felt about
my bills. How discouraged I was. And the more I let out my
discouragement, the more the Lord replaced it with a resolve to see
those bills extinguished. I truly repented for not paying my bills. I
repented for not speaking the Word over my debts. I repented for not
walking in faith.

As I got to work today, I said that I would at least see what one of
my bills cost and ask God for creative and witty inventions on how to
get rid of that debt. As I called, I prayed for favor. All I know is
to tell the truth, so that's what I did.

Well, the Lord gave it to me. They hooked me up with a payment plan.
I'll be done paying that bill of entirely in a year. So by next year
this time, that bill will be gone!!!

Praise the Lord! I've got two more to go.

Pensive Moments

This week, Chris' left brace broke. When he went to the orthodics on Friday, they gave him a camwalker. When he got to work on yesterday, they told him, after he had been there a few hours, that they would not allow him to work. He could not come back until he had his brace on. That meant in eight weeks.

When he came home, my question was why? You could tell that this person who hardly complains or shows any sadness was quite disturbed. I too was sad because I know how much Chris loves to be active and out there working. All I could do is pray.

The Lord gave me, at least I think it was Him, that Christ is a warrior who faces the world head-on. These weeks, or this time off, has been designed to make him stronger in spirit. Go to everything--evangelism, cell group, Friday night live, Sunday services, everything! Do all you can to get stronger. I think Chris accepted that.

God, I pray, in your name, the name of Jesus, that you come through and show yourself strong on my husband's behalf. Draw him closer to you. Make him strong in spirit. Perform a miracle. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Musings on Star Wars

You know, as I read Star Wars, I see how little and insignificant humanity is. Ma Brown says that "We are just a cup of dust." What I mean is, we are not the whole. We are only a small part of something very big. This is why we must stop being so self-centered and see the whole picture.

Psalm 8:4-9 (NLT) says it like this:
" 4 what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?[a] 5 Yet you made them only a little lower than God[b] and crowned them[c] with glory and honor. 6 You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority— 7 the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals, 8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents.
9 O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!"

Wow, Lord. You're absolutely awesome.

Sometimes, when I go out at night and all is quiet taking Rusty to the grass, I also am reminded that there are forces out there. We truly are in a spiritual battle--good against evil--and this battle is for the souls of men. The eveil forces--also known as demons--are always fighting against God and HIs people. They are fighting to thwart the progress of the saints. However, the good news is that they are not the victors--WE ARE!

Ephesians 6:10-18 (NLT)
"10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategiesof the devil. 12 For we[a] are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world,and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standingfirm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from theGood News so that you will be fully prepared.[b] 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.[c] 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere."

I love reading this stuff because it's a story of how the devil can play on weaknesses to ensnare people who no knowledge. How if I'm not under the control of the Father God, I too can fall and go to hell. I can never be too self-confident. My reliance must always be on God.

I finished reading "The Cestus Deception" today. Wow! It was really something. I guess now it's time to get into the meet of the matter and read the book I don't want to read--"Revenge of the Sith.

But before then, I think I'm gonna download "Jedi Trial." It's also a Clone Wars novel. It shows how Anakin Skywalker became a Jedi knight.
