Jaws Theme Song.
Some days my life feels like a Jaws movie. Just when i think it’s safe to go back in the water. (sound effects) du dum, du dum, du dum. SCREAM
Two days been waiting for a auto part that was sent to the wrong address. Told UPS don’t worry about rerouting to my address for delivery on Monday (are you kidding me) when I paid for and needed the part on 2 days ago. Send straight back to sender; who made the mistake anyway. I’ll get a refund and take the headache as a hit. I ordered same part, locally this time, and friend took me to pick it up. Mechanic will start working on my car in the morning–no problem. Moving on.
Woke up this a.m. to the tinkering sound of DC Parking Enforcement booting my car. Say what?
I hollered daintily from bedroom window, “what cha doing to my car?” In unison they replied, “Bootin’ yo car for non payment of tickets.”
I didn’t even know I had tix. Plus, it’s Saturday, I can’t get the boot off till Monday? (sound effects) du dum, du dum, du dum. SCREAM. I’m gonna need a bigger boat AND mo’ money!!!!!
I won’t be fooled though. This is a spiritual battle for my peace and sanity. Still I refuse to let it steal my joy. We gonna do what we can and leave the rest alone in God’s hands. We may be pressed; but we are not crussed. Greater is He that is in me that he that is in the world. One can’t fight a spiritual battle with earthly weapons.
In this battle, my part is to don the whole gear of God. The breastplate of righteousness–CHECK, the shield of faith–CHECK, shoes with the readiness to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ–CHECK, the helmet of salvation a/k/a being made right with God–CHECK, the belt of Truth tied tightly around my waist–tight 4 real–CHECK, and the magnificent Sword of the Spirit, a/k/a the WORD of God–CHECK.*
Onward!!! Pray continually and be alert. Victory is assured. Jaws ALWAYS dies at the end!
*loose paraphrase of Ephesians 6:13-17.

Who I Am
I'm an author, inspirational speaker, vocalist, and performance artist. I was a heroin addict saved from myself and the lifestyle (with all the pain that comes with it) but the mercy and grace of God. Thus, I am a late bloomer; but blooming none-the-less. I've yielded every talent given me, and am now using them to encourage, inspire, and motivate others to discover and lives God's marvelous plans for their lives. My books include my latest, Walking On Water When The Ground Ain't Enuf; I Say A Prayer For Me: One Woman's Life of Faith and Triumph (Warner); 12-Step Programs: A Resource Guide For Helping Professionals; and Contributing Author of SistahFaith: Real Stories of Pain, Truth and Triumph compiled by Marilynn Griffith (Howard/Simon&Schuster). I also perform a one-woman show with comedy infused throughout. It's who I am--by God's grace--one woman on a journey toward unwavering faith.
