Then It hit me is been a year since The Calling to Jamaica,
on Sunday I woke up feeling stock not knowing where to go or what I am really
doing at that moment. Missing my pastor voice , God always give her word that
feed my inner spirit, I try calling her but no answer God have a way that, there
will be no answer for you to what comfortable to you. Even my friend Lisa was
not available she was busy with her project.
So hear I am on Sunday morning, needed to hear word from God,
do I go all the way cross town or go to the church near by. Then it came to me
YouTube TD Jake he had a sermon call the
THE CALLING it blow me away ....you see God can talk to you or give you answer
in so many different ways.
Wow THE CALLING timeline.... that lead me to Discovering my Journey in Jamaica1. 1990 – Calling me off the club on the dance floor...I remember so clearly like yesterday. Drinking my wine cooler having a good time. Then all of a sudden everything feel so strange, was it the contact from the smoke in the room or the wine cooler... I went to the bathroom seeing the same people and asking myself what I am I doing here...doing the same thing every weekend...all I remember I couldn’t stop crying and going to the car just waiting to go home. Haven’t been to the club since then or drink any wine.
2. 1995-The Calling to North Carolina, after five years as a salon owner all of sudden I didn’t feel belong where I was living or doing business in East Orange, NJ. Sometime I would travel half hour to New Brunswick NJ to do laundry. Then I felt the pull to go to North Carolina, everyone thought I was crazy given up my business, my client felt it the most because of the relationship we had. Got to NC. I didn’t know anyone but two people and one of them was a couple John Raye and Rosie Smith who is still my mentor up to this day.
3. 1997- The Calling still in Greensboro NC to become a Cosmetology Educator with Dudley Products. That was good times back then, students will see me up to this day and let me know how much I touch their life just in a simply way wow. The knowledge I got from knowing Mr. Joe Dudley and a John Raye, the books that they introduce to me that uplift my mental state of thinking. Attending events and the exposure I got from it was great, there more but I am going to keep it short.
4. 1999- The Calling to Word of Life PCC under the teaching of Bishop Marian Hickman the word of God minister to my soul...under the teaching out of this women of God the spirit of the Holy Ghost took a hold of me...this is where the healing process took place..Knowing that I am marvelous and wonderful made...all the hurt that man gave me through bad or I should say not having understanding relationships I am healed. This is where the Lord thought me to depend on him raising three kids by myself, ask and it shall be given unto you. Oh my, Oh my, the test of faith became stronger and stronger in my life. Listening to Bishop and writing the dates next to the scriptures and God having leading me back to it again, walking and living the teaching.
5. 2000- The Calling ...Experience losing my house and homeless but the kids didn’t know that we just went and stay at Ms. Evelyn house....but God was preparing my heart... going to soup kitchen to help feed the homeless and God showing me you see I got my hand on you...that could have been you and the kids. So learned through this homeless lady name Karen I meet at the soup kitchen, she showed me the different type of homeless people, where they live how to talk to them...just be real and show love to them she disappear couldn’t see her anymore. Then right after that Bishop wanted to start a feeding ministry for the homeless...and guest who ran it that right me. Wow the preparation of live for Gods glory. Also working several ministries at church. Like ushering, intercessory, video, transportation, gardening, food pantry...where there was a need I would be there.
6. 2004- The Calling...after leaving the house the Lord lead me to another place to live after three month at Ms. Evelyn place. On Peterson Ave, wow I always love flowers...but here he thought me about gardening I had this big yard...and I be at the house all of a sudden I need to go to the library and when I get there I be like okay God why am I hear what do you need me to see. And there I go right over to the flowers book; I would take out four or more books on gardening. I learned a lot by reading these books and then I start growing from seeds, creating cold frames until I became good at growing plants and flowers. If a plant is dyeing bring it to me and I will bring it back to life.
There is so much to write as I am doing this blogger so now I am going to get to the journey.
7. 2012- 2013 -The Calling ...There was something going on with me I didn’t understand. Having my son Dennis letting me know ma you are not a single mom any more so do what want to do and buy what you want and from that moment I start viewing live differently On my 50th birthday that was a impact on my life in a good way because that was half of century and I am still hear...so I made a card to myself saying Happy 50th Day Sharon I will enjoy this journey with you Lord not remembering until now that became the theme for my blog. The Calling began before I got the news that Barry just got killed....that week of his death I was studying the Psalm 31, there was feeling different ...I wanted to know about the virtuous women. Then the call saying your bother got killed ...life changes...came to Jamaica for the funeral service...then the pulling I keep thinking about orphanage why is this keep coming upon me. I ask friends about Oranphage in Jamaica and they didn’t know even the taxi driver they couldn’t give a good direct answer.
So I brush it off, when back to the states and fine it heavy on me again so I start collecting kids clothing and bring them back to Jamaica. So here I am in Montego Bay Jamaica, at the Robins Nest Children Home I love being here and kids wow what a pleasure. But all that came out of my mouth was that he is preparing me, I keep sing that over and over that day. And realize that the learning how to grow crop was for this time...bring beauty were there needed....where is , boy I tell you, through someone I met in Kingston Mr. George Douglas he told me about awesome lady Rev Judy Ann Fisher who does the same thing I am doing...go figure God...what she does is
