In the Beginning







Along with many other organizations and establishments, the first edition of Today's Lady Chaplain, is paying homage to all those extraordinary women who served their communities in the role as "chaplain".


During the last 40 years, female chaplains have overcome differences in their pursuit of equality. Therefore, it gives me great honor to accept my call and join the ranks alongside these wonderful spirit filled women ... and men.




July 19, 2019 I officially began walking in my call as chaplain. Although the map of who, what, when, where, and how has not been made quite clear to me at this time, I do know that my "why" is truly quite clear.


I am a firm believer though, that if I take one step, God will definitely take two. So, in the words of Eddie Kendricks of the Mighty Temptations, I am going to keep on truckin' baby.




I'm truly excited to see where this chapter of my life will lead. Oh what fabulousness awaits!

What a day it will be when I link up with other phenomenal women who have also made the choice to go where spirit leads. And what a time we are going to have while serving humanity.


Thank you all in advance for opening your hearts and minds to other editions of Today's Lady Chaplin.  It is my goal to share all of my trials, tribulations, and most of all triumphs with you as often as I can.

May goodness find you wherever you are.  May all your days be forever filled with joy.  Peace and many blessings.

Abundance Prayer - The Prayer of Daniel

Hear oh God my prayers, Look in favor at my pain. Hear and act.  Don't delay for I bear your name. Today when you get an opportunity, turn your attention to a prayer of Daniel - a hero of the Old Testament. If your life was severely disrupted when you were a child, you can sympathize with Daniel.  His young life turned lousy when he was taken into captivity by the Babylonians and dragged away from his homeland. Although he was a captive, through his faithfulness to God, he rose to become the highest-level government official.  Daniel had such a great reputation that he remained in power even when his captors were defeated and the government changed.  Daniel never forgot about wanting to go home. He ultimate manifested (with God) everything he believed God for. The Prophecy Read Daniel 9:1-2 . Let's figure a minute here. If Daniel was taken captive by the Babylonians and he is looking at a 70 year prophecy, about how old is he?...

The Reflection of Neediness: Upside Down

Image
  In 2015 my life turned Upside Down .  I thought I was on my way to the brightest chapter of my life only to find myself slowly stepping back into time.  I couldn't blame anyone even if I wanted to for the direction my life had taken.  Every piece of my present life was my doing or undoing.  The good and the bad were my manifestations.  The unfortunate part of it all is I forgot to thank God for where I was then until I got to where I am now.  Gratitude shifts mountains. Rejoice always, pray continually, give  thanks  in all circumstances; for this is  God's  will for you in Christ Jesus.                                                                                       ...
