HAPPY THANKFUL THURSDAY TO THE SISTERHOOD BECAUSE THE “SISTERHOOD IS ESSENTIAL!” THIS MORNING, INSTEAD OF MEDITATING, I WAS THE PRAYER LEADER ON MY CHURCH'S PRAYER LINE AND REALIZED THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE STILL NOT PRAYING. LIFE IS LIFE’N AND THROWING DIFFERENT THINGS AT US AND WE ARE SACRIFICING PRAYER TIME WITH GOD. WE’RE OVERWHELMED, TRYING TO TUNNEL THROUGH OUR TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS BUT WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL BECAUSE WE ARE NOT TAKING THE TIME TO COMMUNICATE WITH GOD THROUGH PRAYER. PRAYER IS SO IMPORTANT. IT HELPS US DEVELOP A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, IT PROVIDES US WITH ANSWERS THAT WE ARE SEARCHING FOR, IT HELPS US WITH DIRECTION, IT GIVES US STRENGTH BUT MOST OF ALL IT WORKS MIRACLES. LET US NEVER EVER TAKE THE POWER OF PRAYER FOR GRANTED. “Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven,[f] Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Heb4:14-16 (NIV version) WE REAP SO MUCH FROM BEING ABLE TO PRAY. THROUGH PRAYER WE ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO COME INTO OUR LIVES AND PROVIDE A FEELING OF PEACE AND LOVE. AFTER 2020 WE ALL SHOULD HAVE AN ANTICIPATION FOR OUR OWN PERSONAL PRAYER TIME. AT A MOMENT WHEN THIS WORLD WAS AT ITS LOWEST, WE SHOULD HAVE LEARNED THE IMPORTANCE OF WHAT PRAYER REALLY CAN DO. 14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. REMEMBER PRAYER IS SO VITAL, IT’S THE ONLY THING ALL RELIGIONS HAVE IN COMMON!! PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS I LOVE EVERYBODY LADY RAE

Happy Witness Wednesday! A bond between two or more girls, not always related. Sisterhood means accepting each other unconditionally. Knowing that you will always be by each other's side , through the good and the bad. Sisterhood is the affection and loyalty women feel from other women whom they have something in common with. To me sisterhood is support, be it face to face or from afar. Sisterhood is that thing that connects you for life So be intentional with your Sister because “Sisterhood is Essential" Nazika Donalson Content Consultant of Sisterhood Is Essential

HAPPY TESTIMONY TUESDAY TO THE SISTERHOOD THIS MORNING IN MY MEDITATION TIME I TOOK SOME TIME TO THINK ABOUT PEOPLE WHO HAVE CAUSED ME PAIN. THOSE WHO HAVE HURT ME KNOWLYINGLY AND THOSE WHO HAVE CAUSED ME PAIN UNKNOWINGLY. WHY WAS THIS AT THE FOREFRONT OF MY MIND THIS MORNING? AFTER HAVING AN AWESOME TIME IN CHURCH SUNDAY, WHY WOULD GOD PUT THESE PEOPLE IN MY PERSONAL MEDITATION TIME WITH HIM?????? HE DID IT BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN GIVING OUT DISMISSIVE FORGIVENESS! I HAVE BEEN TAKING A “OK I FORGIVE THEM BECAUSE I’M SUPPOSED TO” INSTEAD OF GIVING “FORGIVENESS IN FULL CAPACITY”. DISMISSIVE FORGIVENESS IS TAKING A “WHATEVER” ATTITUDE TOWARD THE HURT AND JUST MOVING ON WITH YOUR LIFE IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION. DISMISSIVE FORGIVENESS IS WHEN YOU AS THE FORGIVER DECIDE NOT TO WASTE TIME, ENERGY, OR EMOTIONAL SPACE ON WHAT HAS HURT YOU AND TO PUT MEASURES IN PLACE. LIKE SETTING BOUNDARIES AND DISTANCE TO ENSURE IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. ABOUT 50 OF US SHOULD JUST SAY “OUCH”. “MAKE A CLEAN BREAK WITH ALL CUTTING, BACKBITING, PROFANE TALK. BE GENTLE WITH ONE ANOTHER, SENSITIVE. FORGIVE ONE ANOTHER AS QUICKLY AND THOROUGHLY AS GOD IN CHRIST FORGAVE YOU.” – EPHESIANS 4:32 (MESSAGE BIBLE VERSION) ALTHOUGH NOTHING IS WRONG WITH DISSMISSIVE FORGIVENESS BECAUSE THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IT IS NECESSARY. IF SOMETHING CONTINUES TO RUN THROUGH YOUR MIND YOU SHOULD CONSIDER EVALUATING AND FORGIVING IN FULL CAPACITY. SOME THINGS REQUIRE US TO HAVE AN UNCONDITIONAL FORM OF FORGIVENESS. WE CAN’T EXPECT GRACE FROM PEOPLE THAT WE ARE NOT WILLING TO GIVE. YOU ARE NOT ALONE, TODAY’S MEDITATION WAS ROUGH FOR ME TOO.
