“I rebuke you in the name….”
There is something about the name of Jesus. Sonya Massey’s last words echo through our spirits and hearts today as we lift her name to heaven’s front door and God welcomes her home.
You are the pride of Donna and James Wilburn, the motherly comfort for Malachi and Jeanette, and the reminder that life is precious, like the violets that sway in the wind in the grass of Springfield, Illinois. Your resting place has awakened a story that far too often we hear. Hashtags that come with memorial anniversaries and no changes to the law. Questions are left unanswered, and what-ifs stir in circles.
How do we protect ourselves against those called to serve? Why does the beauty of Black skin become a target for brutality?
May the unison of our voices ascend to the mountaintop and dip into the valleys until the truth is spoken and justice is given. Rest well; we will carry the fight from here.
Sonya Massey, We Exalt Your Name. Asé. 🕊️
JESUS is Bigger!
JESUS is Bigger than depression.
JESUS is Bigger than anxiety.
JESUS is Bigger than disease.
JESUS is Bigger than worry.
JESUS is Bigger than fear.
JESUS is a healer.
DON’T stop praying!
On this day in 2004, I was eliminated from American Idol! But God turned it around for my good! From Idol to EGOT baby !!! 20 years later, and now back on TV with my own show.
Never give up on your dreams, yal! If I can do it, so can u! If it’s not worth working hard for, it’s not worth it at all ! Remember nobody knows your potential the way you do. Just keep the faith, keep believing, and keep going !!!
