GODFamily. Real Ones.

My GODmother Sharon took me in during my teenage years. I didn't live with her, but was able to visit whenever I wanted and she gave me "something" that I couldn't get from my biological family, which was trust. She trusted me in her home unsupervised. She allowed me to drive her car and her boyfriend's car. "This" was huge for me because she never made me prove myself to her. She took me as I was; embraced and complimented me about my character. Truly heaven sent into my life when every other door was closing in my face.  GOD is real!!! I love her. She's one of the greatest female role models in my life.

My GODsister Kaysh is the most beautiful, most loving, most generous and most compassionate person I have ever met. She's always been "this" way and still remains the same. With all the adversity she's faced and overcome, she exudes a genuine enthusiastic love for life itself. I'm talking about every living thing from people to animals, birds to amphibians, flowers to bugs, and so on. On countless occasions I've visited her in her home to find a new living creature she adopted by surprise. Laughing within. She is very creative with a sharp mind and quite disciplined in many areas. Raising her two sons as a single parent is her pride and joy. They're fine young men whom cherish their mother and are aware of the sacrifices she's made to provide them with a loving upbringing. She is the big sister I never had. I learned how to ride a two-wheel bicycle when I was 7-years old because she was patient enough to teach me and demonstrated how much she believed in me. There is absolutely no one like her. Not a soul. I'm forever grateful to know her as my GODsister and to be divinely connected regardless of time or space. I love her! We never skip a beat when we meet.

My GODsister Puma is cut from similar cloth as Kaysh. Puma is a poet and a rapper, but she'd probably prefer that I state her status as a rapper first. Isn't rap poetry of some sort? She and Kaysh are the ultimate funsters! I have had so much fun hanging out with them both and individually. Puma doesn't have any biological kids, but she's an aunt to all children. Very domesticated and highly protective of her loved ones, she keeps close watch on everyone and upkeeps her abode. She doesn't mind helping people and I love her as she is.

My GODsister UnkPep is the most down to earth soul one could meet. She's a self-employed barber, upcoming comedian and actor. She's an excellent conversationalist and has an intriguing mind. She's patient and always supportive of her family. She's one of the youngest looking nearly 50-year old's alive today. Seriously, she looks like she's still 30. She's fun too and one of the realest people in Los Angeles. We can agree to disagree, but never without love and respect for one another. I love her as she is.

My inherited mother MamaVonn is so cool. She has a humorous personality, but she doesn't take any mess. She was the first person ever, to come to my defense when my mother was being rude and disrespectful in the hallway of my old apartment building. Stern, but loving and concerned. Always kept an eye out for my children and our place. She's encouraging and believes in my abilities. I love her and PapaVonn, her husband.

Family is what you make and I love the design of mine. Thank you LORD for each one of them!!!

Mind. Your Matter.

It was about "this" time last year when I almost gave up on moving because I wasn't approved to move into a 1-bedroom apartment that I had my hopes set on. Truth is, I really didn't want "that" apartment, but I could imagine my little family living there. I was somewhat in a desperate state and probably would've moved into any place larger than where we were living at the time.

I'm so glad GOD knows best and made a way for us otherwise. After driving by and seeing the "For Rent" sign in the window of what's now my bedroom for more than 2-months, I finally pulled over one day (today's date if I'm not mistaken) to jot the telephone number down. I just wanted to see it. I had to for some reason "that" day.

My children and I wanted the place immediately upon first sight of the living room. Mentally, I fell into a fantasy type state and decided, that I had nothing to lose applying for the rental. I said a little prayer and geared into immediate action.

I returned the application the following day after viewing the apartment along with a letter. Personally, I knew that my credit report would return shabby results. What I didn't know, was how compassionate my landlord would be. I thought, that a personal statement about my circumstances and future goals could be helpful.

The letter sealed the deal! I formatted my statement like a cover letter, which included honest details about my character, my experience, and a strong desire to be given the opportunity to prove myself. Needing to say: My landlord took a chance on me per my request. Was it really "that" simple? In my case: Yes.

All I had to do was ask. I've heard "it" more times than I can remember (spiritual advisement); "ask and it shall be given." FAITH!!! No. I don't have that scripture memorized. A Bible quote I'm sure of though...

I'm just reflecting on how GREAT GOD IS today and everyday!!!
