GMW Handbook for 2020

The first case of COVID-19 in the US which was reported on January 22, 2020, since then, the country has reported 3,260,500 cases and 134,581 deaths.

We’re Being Manipulated

Grandmothers, Mothers and Women (GMW), If we want real change across America, while doing all we can to save our children, families, and country, we must first KEEP THEM ALIVE. We must Get our priorities in order. Each of us is responsible for doing our part, and it starts in each of our homes. We must lead by example: wear a mask; practice social distancing; wash hands often; get tested depending on your movement or travel; avoid crowds; and last, but not least, get to the voting polls on November 3, 2020.

Me, My Grands and Great-grands

All of my grandchildren, from 1 year to 17 years, have been on serious lock down over the past 5 months, and their parents are riding shotgun over them. As I have traveled from state to state, while visiting my sister, brothers and other family members during their health challenges, I followed safety protocols for the protection of myself and others by wearing face masks, gloves and using hand-sanitizer, alcohol sprays, and Lysol. Upon returning home, I always get a Covid-test and quarantine before going around my family or others. I believe we can control this virus if we do our part and listen to updates given by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) health departments, mayors, and the governor.

GMW, America will never be the same again because we all now see the things we have in common are much greater than all the differences. We must make sure that we, along with our children, learn American History—the good, the bad and the ugly. There are no statues of Hitler in Germany because they know the true story. Hitler was a brutal leader who killed more than 10 million people to create a “pure†German society, which resulted in the ruin of Germany at the end of World War II. Throughout America’s educational systems and society in general, it is time for a serious, honest, and complete examination of our history for accuracy and revision.

George Floyd was the sacrificial lamb to wake up America and the world. Americans in all 50 states are protesting the great injustices that have been allowed to exist in this country. While the demonstrations have put focus on our problems, we have to legislate solutions. GMW, we are responsible for making sure our states are addressing problems individually and pursue changes and justice at the national level. We must keep the majority in the House of Representatives, achieve a majority in the Senate, and win the White House in November 2020. We need a majority in the House and Senate to unite America. We must seriously start holding the people we choose to represent us accountable and demand that they do their jobs, or we must make them one-term by voting to remove them from office. Ladies, we MUST realize the value of our power, especially OUR VOTE. Our country must have credible leadership which reflects the entire America landscape – white, black, brown, red, and yellow, without respect to gender or religion.

In the comingv months, we can support and help our next President (Joe Biden) by maintaining a focus on the dying American Middle Class and the issues brought forth in The Poor People’s Campaign, as conducted by Rev. William Barber. The platform demands that we dispel the notion that systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, and the war economy hurt only a small segment of our society. More than 40,600,000 Americans subsist below the poverty line; this report additionally shows that there are close to 140 million people dealing with some combination of these crises every day. Nearly half of our population cannot afford a $400 emergency, which presents a structural crisis of national proportion that ties poverty to things like healthcare and housing. The devastation cuts across race, gender, age, and geography. It has carved a dangerous and deepening moral chasm in America and inflicts a tragic loss of purpose, even among the affluent. Mr. Biden has to address these issues. He needs our votes to win.

This we Pray in the Name of Jesus…Amen?

America’s Injustice In Living Color

GMW nationally our children, the millennials have joined forces across the country protesting police brutality On our sons and daughters of color. We have been Protesting police brutality on our people of color for generations.

George Floyd Living His Life

On Monday May 25th 2020, America and the world witness the lynching of 46 years George Floyd, by 4 White MPO. Their immediate punishment was being fired. Today May 29th those officers still have not been arrested or charged. But a CNN  Black Reporter was arrested, while his White Partner a small distance away, was not arrested. MPD’s Racism is blatant, and they are not unique. 

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
George Floyd Losing His Life

Across our country, our Millennials black and white are joining forces. indicating they have had enough, our President Mr. Trump, is instructing our military and police to start shooting as soon as there is looting. GMW, none of us Condone violence in any form,but our justice system in America has to apply to our children of color, the same as they treat my white sons & daughters. Example: Mohamed Noor, who is black, Somali and Muslim,became the first Minnesota police officer convicted of murder in an on-duty killing, of Justine Ruszczyk, who was white.

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.

Officer Noor and his partner were in their squad car in an alley investigating when Ms. Ruszczyk approach. Officer Noor said he heard a bang and fired one shot from the passenger seat when Justine appeared at the driver’s window, he feared for their life. During cross-examination assistant county attorney, Amy Sweasy asked Mr. Noor,â€Her blonde hair, and pink T-shirt and all, that was a threat to you. It’s assumed, Black Officers should have no fear? And, feel no fear when white people show-up, as is the case of Mr. George Floyd.

Now unfortunately, our children are protesting across the country because (4) white racist, un-empathetic white officers killed a man in handcuffs. They should have been arrested and let justice prevail. Our President is behaving like a spoil Bret with Twitter, while COVID-19 has killed over 100,000 Americans with 1.7m tested positive, he’ simply deflecting.  Our millennials across the country is protesting the 400 years of injustice, and Mr. Trump wants to Invoke the 1960 southern policy of when looting starts shooting begins. 

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
ST. Paul Minnesota Burning

Our children destroyed the police department in St.Paul last nite, and placed themselves in great danger, that we don’t condone, but they’re still alive and some are in jail, where those 4 officers should be! George Floyd is just the Tip-of the Ice-berg. It’s time white police-brutality against black people has to change.  GMW all of us has to be just as outrage regarding injustice as our children, if we do our part, they won’t have to use their methods. I’m so glad our children has join forces, because our police officers, think nothing of shooting my children, but will choose a different method when it comes to those who looks like them. 

In all the madness and the pandemic crisis, America and the world is facing, we will hold on to Jeremiah 29:11.

I’ve been checking news around the world and they are all focus on America. Plus the police in Minneapolis are still blatantly lying, they said they release Omar, the Black Reporter, after they discover he was with the media. He was covering the news with a microphone in his hand, while showing them his credentials. It appears they have become so comfortable in their racist behavior, until they forget, their behavior is caught on cameras, live and in color,  as it was for Amy Cooper, in Central Park, The same for Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia.  Even though the Georgia police department, suppressed the film in their Effort to cover-up the killing of Mr. Arbery.

Ahmaud Arbery killed for no reason except, Racism

With all of the advocacy for justice, peace and change, nothing has happen, maybe after a police station has been burned. We will all start paying attention. From the White House to the Outhouse. GMW, we will continue to pray for justice, peace, and empathy, in Jesus’s name, we pray. Amen.

What’s Mitch McConnell And The GOP Trying To Hide

We All Know What A Trial Looks Like, And This Is Not It:

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell: GMW needs to hear the facts.

We will not raise our families under a: Hitler Mentality brewing slavery conditions.

Carl Bernstein has given Mitch McConnell a new nickname, “Midnight  Mitch,†because he’s embracing a coverup that is there for all to see. It’s about preventing information from becoming-known-and-seen by an American public.

He also noted, ‘in the impeachment of Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton there had been no problem about knowing the truth or the facts.

Present the facts Mitch, and let the defense, defend. 

Mitch McConnell, what are you so afraid of, that placed a “Price Tag† on your CHARACTER and SOUL, what a Price.

While  Mitch McConnell is putting a price tag on his Soul, President Trump is preparing to divert an additional $7.2 billion in Pentagon funding for border wall construction this year, five times what Congress authorized him to spend on the project in the 2020 budget.

If Mr. Trump lied about making the Mexicans build his expensive wall, what else is he lying about?

I think GMW, “that small segment of the population, that makes up the base of Trumps Following, has been so devastated by having a Black President until, they will except any White man, as president, even if he couldn’t spell his name.â€
Which is the real reason they are so willing to let Trump get away with things, they would killed Barack for doing.

If this is not true, then I’m asking God to please have my nose dragging the ground by the next time you see me!!!

Reclaiming Truth, Restoring Accountability: 

From:  Grandmothers, Mothers, and Women (GMW)—especially women of color, and all GMW in general:We stand on God’s Word and America’s Constitution.

Faith and Foundation: 

Ensure policies benefit all citizens. That’s not partisan—it’s procedural.

Faith:  Jeremiah 29:11 Declares, “For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Foundation:  “Robert’s Rules of Order” Reminds us:
The majority rules—and with that rule comes responsibility. When a party wins an election, they inherit the duty to govern, to uphold constitutional law, and to ensure policies benefit all citizens. That’s not partisan—it’s procedural.

Every member of the Majority Party in Congress is accountable for the harm and havoc the Trump Administration is currently unleashing on this nation. And, every Minority member of Congress has a moral and constitutional obligation to hold the Majority accountable—especially when Constitutional Amendments are ignored, undermined, or broken.

Both parties bear responsibility. Together, they are accountable to the American people. But we, the people, are not off the hook.
It is our responsibility to know what those constitutional duties are—so we can determine whether our elected leaders are fulfilling them or failing us.

Each of the three branches of government must govern within the framework of the Constitution and the laws that define our democracy. If they do not, we must say so. Loudly. And with clarity.

In 2024, Donald Trump and the GOP did exactly what they falsely accused Democrats of doing in 2020. The difference? This time, there was silence—no media uproar, no widespread challenge. Yet the consequences are loud, and they echo through every community.

Now, we must ask: What kind of truth are we living in? GMW of color, its incumbent, we teach our children, grands and great-grands, “Our illustrious history, that was buried but never forgotten.” In this digital age, we have knowledge at our fingertips—So, why are we still allowing ourselves to be continuously whitewashed by others version of our scripture and history?

The Real Reason for the Journey.

DEI and Inclusive American History Are Not Enough: What we truly need is a return to the truth—the truth of our origin, our humanity, and our story. American history, as it’s been taught, was imposed upon us. It wasn’t written to include us, but to erase and replace us. While efforts toward diversity and inclusion may offer a seat at the table, they still serve a narrative that began without us in mind.

Our history is deeper. Older. Divine: Meet Queen of Sheba Long before the idea of America was formed, African civilizations like Ethiopia and Egypt were already flourishing—home to advanced knowledge, spiritual wisdom, and cultural glory. And let’s be clear: there is no historical truth to Europeans being the originators of those lands. Just as there were no Black people claiming European roots, there is no truth in Europeans claiming ancient African empires. It’s time to reclaim our truth—not just for representation, but for restoration.

The real question is not “What color was Jesus?” but “Where is the cradle of civilization”? (for People of color)That’s not ancient history—it’s divine revelation.Where was the birthplace of humanity?  AI overview: The scientific consensus is that the birthplace of humanity, meaning the origin of modern humans (Homo sapiens), is the African continent. Specifically, the earliest evidence of modern humans is found in Eastern Africa, particularly in areas like Ethiopia

This truth matters—because truth always matters.
Whether you’re reclaiming your spiritual heritage or seeking deeper understanding of the Bible, know this: God speaks through all people and all nations.The Bible isn’t the story of one culture—it’s the story of humanity. From Egypt to Ethiopia, Midian to Meroë, people of color weren’t just present—they were essential to the biblical narrative. Their contributions were pivotal, their faith profound.

This isn’t myth. It’s scripture, history, and archaeological evidence—found in both the Ethiopian Bible and the King James Bible.We’re not restoring these truths to divide us—but to unite us. In uncovering what was hidden, we reclaim not just identity—but divine clarity.

This is our moment: Let’s rise with wisdom, walk in truth, and hold accountable every voice, every vote, and every verse. Because, in the end—truth always speaks. This We Pray In The Name of Jesus. Amen.

LENT:  Deepening Faith, Combating Injustice, and Reclaiming Our Purpose.

A Season of Reflection, Justice, and Renewal for the African American Church.

Lent is more than a season of sacrifice—it’s a sacred time to merge our faith with the pursuit of social justice. As we reflect on our spiritual journey, we are reminded of the power of faith to address the injustices that plague our communities and Nation. This Lenten Season we honor the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama; And, join TargetFast for Justice, and the fight for our nation’s,“Constitution and Democracy,” recommit ourselves to the ongoing struggle for equality.

Tapestry of The Lenten Journey

For the African American Church, Lent holds profound meaning. It’s a time to reconnect with our faith, repent for our shortcomings, and rededicate ourselves to the mission of Jesus Christ. In a world where racism, police brutality, and systemic inequalities persist, Lent offers a chance to reflect on how our faith can inspire action and bring about change.  

This season reminds us that the Black Church has always been a beacon of hope and a catalyst for social justice. Yet, in recent years, we’ve seen a drift from this guiding purpose. Lent calls us to reclaim our role as a force for transformation, ensuring that the legacy of the Black Church endures for future generations.  

Lent and Social Justice: A Time to Fight Injustice

Lent is not just about personal reflection—it’s about collective action. As we fast and pray, we must also confront the injustices that affect our communities. From disparities in healthcare and education to the ongoing fight for voting rights, the African American Church has a responsibility to lead the charge for change.  

This year, as we commemorate Bloody Sunday, we are reminded of the sacrifices made for all of the Civil Right we had to fight for. Today, as our democracy faces new threats, we must continue to fight for justice and equality. Lent is a time to renew our commitment to these causes, using our faith as a foundation for advocacy and action.  

The Significance of Lent for the African American Church

The Black Church has always been more than a place of worship—it’s a community hub, a source of empowerment, and a driver of social change. During Lent, we must reflect on how we can strengthen this mission. By addressing issues like racism, poverty, and violence, we can ensure that the Black Church remains a vital force in our communities.  

Let us use this season to recommit to the values of faith, justice, and love. As Matthew 28:20 reminds us, “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the ages.” With God’s guidance, we can overcome any challenge and continue to make a difference in the world.  

Conclusion: A Call to Action 

A call To Action, Together, we can create a brighter, more equitable future.  

For renewal, reflection, and action. As we journey through this season, let us remember the sacrifices of those who came before us and recommit ourselves to the fight for justice. Let us use our faith to combat racism, oppression, and inequality, ensuring that the Black Church remains a beacon of hope for generations to come.  

I challenge you to take one actionable step toward justice. Whether it’s volunteering in your community, advocating for policy change, or supporting organizations that fight racism, let your faith inspire action. Share your Lenten commitment with others and encourage them to join you in this journey of faith and justice. Together, we can create a brighter, more equitable future.  

Lent2025 #FaithAndJustice #BlackChurch #SocialJustice #BloodySunday #CommunityAction#TargetFast

May God bless us all as we walk this path of faith, justice, and love.

The Priceless Treasure of Wisdom: Lessons from Proverbs 3:13-16  

In a world that often values material wealth and instant gratification, the book of Proverbs offers a timeless reminder of what truly matters. Proverbs 3:13-16 says: Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.

Join Grandmothers-Mothers-Women (gmw) and America in general, praying for our nation, staying informed, and standing firm in faith. Together, we can be a light in the darkness, showing the world that our hope is rooted in God’s promises.

Is Trump Breaking the Law with His USAID Takeover? GMW and America Stand Strong with Jeremiah 29:11. 

USAID (The States Agency for International Development) has raised important questions about accountability, leadership, and the rule of law. While the legal complexities of these allegations are being examined, one thing is clear: in times of uncertainty, we must stand firm in faith and hope. GMW and America we believe in the power of faith, prayer, and unity. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

We know, whether Trump’s actions regarding USAID are found to be lawful. It’s a time to pray for our leaders, to hold them accountable, and to trust that God is working even when we can’t see the full picture.  

Respecting, The Blood-Sweat-Tears” of the slaves who build this country, black and brown people we say thank you, “We Got This.” So, GMW and all American, “If you love our Constitution and Democracy, You Will Stand, be Strong and Pray for Her, In the Name of Jesus. And America said, Amen

🌿✨ FAITH: MY FOUNDATION ✨🌿

Life is full of challenges, uncertainties, and moments when we feel like giving up. But through it all, faith is my foundation. It is my anchor, my source of strength, and the reason I keep moving forward even when the road gets tough.

A Promise to Hold On To: One of my favorite scriptures, Jeremiah 29:11, reminds me of God’s promise:

📖 Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

This verse is my reassurance that no matter what happens, God’s plan is always at work. Even in moments of delay or difficulty, I trust that my journey is leading me exactly where I need to be.

Faith is not about having all the answers

I believe in the absolute goodness of God. His love is unwavering, His grace is boundless, and His plans for me are greater than anything I can imagine. Even in my lowest moments, I trust that He is working things out for my good 💛

Faith is not about having all the answers—it’s about trusting even when you don’t. It’s about stepping forward even when you can’t see the whole path. And it’s about knowing that no matter what comes your way, you are never alone.

Hebrews 11:1 tells us: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

This reminds me that faith is about believing beyond what I can see, knowing that God is always working behind the scenes.

Democratic Leaders: Speaking Truth to Abuse of Power


While Trump’s movement aggressively pushes its authoritarian agenda, Democratic leaders remain passive, issuing only mild warnings instead of rallying a strong and unified opposition.


For decades, Grandmothers, Mothers, and Women (GMW) have stood on the front lines of democracy, helping cleaning up the wreckage left by Republican administrations. We did it when Obama had to fix George W. Bush’s economic disaster, and we watched as Biden worked tirelessly to undo Trump’s chaos. Now, as we stare down the threat of Trump’s 2025 Plan, we demand more from our Democratic leadership.

The GOP controls all three branches of government, plus the Supreme Court, and their extremist agenda is in full force. So why are Democratic leaders still offering olive branches instead of calling out their corruption? Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer—our base needs to feel empowered, appreciated, and informed every day, not just when it’s time to vote.

GMW Fighting For Our Democracy

We Demand Relentless, Unapologetic Truth-Telling

We’re inspired when we hear Jasmine Crockett, AOC, Cori Bush, and Cory Booker and others,speaking truth to power. But where is the full force of the (CBC) Congressional Black Caucus? The Democratic Party needs ALL HANDS ON DECK to expose the GOP’s attack on democracy and ensure that Americans understand exactly what’s at stake.

A Message to Our Democratic Leaders:

• Educate the public on Trump’s 2025 Plan—loudly, consistently, and aggressively.

• Stop catering to moderates and independents who refuse to vote for you anyway.

• Empower the Democratic base daily—not just when you need our votes.

• Expose Republican hypocrisy, lies, and abuse of power at every turn.

We refuse to sit back and watch the GOP destroy our democracy without a fight. And we refuse to let our leaders remain silent while we do all the heavy lifting. We’ve saved America before—now it’s time for our elected officials to do the same.

My The Grace, Mercy and Favor of God, our democracy shall survive this GOP Attack also. GMW claim this, “in the name of Jesus.” Amen

DEI: A Trojan Horse for White Women?

Ân illustration that visually represents the disparity in DEI benefits

Tagline: Who Really Wins in the Diversity Game?

Introduction:  Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies were introduced as a way to uplift marginalized communities, particularly Black and Brown people, along with other historically underrepresented groups. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that the biggest beneficiaries of DEI initiatives are actually white women.

illustration providing a clearer representation of the DEI contract distribution. 
  • President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers argue that DEI policies create racial resentment, lower standards, and stifle free speech in workplaces and universities.  They need to look to their white women the major beneficetaries of DEI.
  • Marjorie Taylor Green, qualifies as a perfect example of DEI; by her intellect.
  • Exploitation of race for l’jCorporate gain, many companies use DEI initiatives as PR stunts, leveraging the presence of Black and Brown employee.
  •  White women often act as the face of these initiatives while Black and Brown employees remain underpaid and overworked. while failing to address pay gaps or workplace discrimination.

Grandmothers-Mothers-Women (GMW), We are not going to be the face of DEi inadequacies, when 78 percent of program goes to white women. We’re  going to hold those whom  benefitted most from the program, responsible for whatever side effects it entailed. The GOP President and most   of his cabinets are billionairs, but, DEI got them there, they suffer the DEI Syndrome. Whom much is given, much more should be expected.

white women climbing corporate ladders while those who should have benefited look up at their success.
white women climbing corporate ladders while those who should have benefited look up at their success.

2. How White Women Became the Biggest Winners in DEI and Dominate Affirmative Action Gains.

  • Studies show that white women have been the greatest beneficiaries of affirmative action policies in both education and employment.
  • • Rather than lifting up Black and Brown communities, DEI has disproportionately funneled job opportunities and promotions to white women.
  • Corporate Leadership Trends Favor White Women Over Black and Brown People.
  • While DEI programs claim to increase representation, corporate reports reveal that the majority of diversity hires at leadership levels are white.
  • Black and Brown professionals remain underrepresented in  executive roles despite decades of DEI efforts..

3. Hiring Quotas and Workplace Policies Reinforce Racial Disparities.

Many DEI initiatives set quotas that prioritize gender over race, making it easier for white women to fill diversity slots while sidelining Black and Brown candidates.

  • Women’s leadership programs, scholarships, and mentorship networks are overwhelmingly white-centered, further excluding Black and Brown individuals from opportunities.
reflecting the real percentage distribution of DEI contracts.

4. The Financial Windfall for White Women in DEI Consulting

  • The DEI industry is a multibillion-dollar sector, and many of the highest-paid consultants and executives in this field are white women.
  • Instead of creating real economic mobility for Black and Brown communities, DEI has created an elite class of white women profiting from diversity programs while doing little to change systemic inequality.

5. How DEI Hurts Black, Brown, and Brown 9Marginalized Communities;

depicting the tokenism of Black and Brown employees in corporate settings.
  • Tokenism No Real Power
  • • Black and Brown employees are often placed in symbolic roles with no real authority or decision-making power.
  • This allows corporations to claim diversity without making structural can that benefit marginalized communities.

6. Exploitation of Race for Corporate Gains.

  • Many companies use DEI initiatives as PR stunts, leveraging the presence of Black and Brown employees while failing to address pay gaps or workplace discrimination.
  • White women often act as the face of these initiatives while Black and Brown employees remain underpaid and overworked.

3. Erosion of Merit-Based Advancement: DEI programs often push for identity-based hiring, which can lead to unqualified candidates being prioritized over skilled Black and Brown professionals. This creates a cycle where Black and Brown employees are seen as diversity hires rather than being valued for their expertise.

4. Political Weaponization of DEI: Accordingsgi to GOP leaders, DEI has been weaponized by leftist elites to push a divisive agenda that does more harm than good. GOP leaders, has become quite sufficient at placing problems they created and benefited from, onto leftist elite when it no longer benefit them.

GMW-All Black and Brown Americana : now you see the truth. And It’s time we speak TRUTH TO POWER

GMW.  We serve a God, “ who sits high and looks low.”We know the next 4 years will pass, and we’ll still be standing tall. The Creator of the universe said so!  4Proof,” read my devotion for today.”  On FB-Instagram. In Jesus name we🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏾

 Supporting Documents for Fact-Checking

• U.S. Department of Labor Reports on Affirmative Action Beneficiaries (Data shows white women gained more from affirmative action than any other group.

• “Diversity, Inc.” by Pamela Newkirk (Explores how DEI programs fail Black professionals)

• Harvard Business Review Study on Who Benefits Most from DEI in Corporations

• Trump Administration’s 2020 Executive Order Banning Critical Race Theory and DEI Training in Federal Institutions

• GOP Policy Papers Critiquing DEI’s Impact on Black and Brown Communities

Conclusion:  While DEI was introduced as a solution to systemic inequality, the evidence suggests it has largely been co-opted to benefit white women, leaving Black, Brown, and other marginalized communities with little real progress. Critics argue that DEI needs serious reform—or even elimination—to ensure that policies truly benefit those who need them most rather than reinforcing existing racial hierarchies.

These are not just words but tools to shield you from doubt, fear, and negativity. With God’s armor, you can face challenges with courage, knowing that He walks with you. His serenity becomes your strength.

Today, as you move forward, let His peace calm your soul, His truth guide your steps, and His righteousness guard your heart. No matter what comes your way, remember that you are clothed in divine protection and empowered to stand firm.

Prayer:

Lord, I thank You for equipping me with Your full armor. Fill me with Your peace and courage today as I walk in Your strength. Help me stand firm in faith, knowing You are always with me. Amen.

God Has a Sense of Humor: 

I Said , “Three, God Said Five, I said I Can’t, God Said, You Can: ”Even teaching my child how to die.

Life has a way of showing us that our plans are just that—our plans. When you surrender to God’s will, you often find that He has a sense of humor that, you may not fully appreciate in the moment. But, Let me take you on my journey, The now and then; One that began with a perfect family plan and , ended with lessons in faith, love, and resilience.

The Perfect Plan: Like many young couples, my husband and I had a vision for our family. We dreamed of a perfectly balanced household—two boys and a girl. We had already been blessed with two boys now ages, five and seven, who were, by all accounts, spoiled rotten. It was time for the final piece of our puzzle: our baby girl

Waiting Peacefully

We got pregnant, couldn’t have been more excited. Everything was going according to plan, peaceful. During the pregnancy, my doctor kept reassuring me that I was carrying “one big baby.” I had gained 22 pounds—more than I did with either of my boys, I gained just 10 pounds with each of them. We were certain that this “big baby” was our little girl. God, however, had other plans.  

1st BD, Adrienne, Coell, Bernice, Me, Flip

A Divine Twist: As the pregnancy progressed, the baby became too heavy for me to carry to term. My doctor recommended inducing labor, and we agreed. But as the hospital staff prepped me for the procedure, they made a shocking discovery: I wasn’t carrying one baby—I was carrying three.

Triplet. Three: My doctor was ecstatic. My husband was overjoyed, looking at a man in the mirror with two cigarettes in his mouth, that man was him.  Me, “I wanted to run out of the hospital, and keep running until I was no longer pregnant. I was in such a state of shock that I later self-diagnosed myself with a nervous breakdown. But no one noticed me, “They were too busy celebrating the arrival of the triplets.

The Unusual Delivery: Natural delivery was stopped. One baby’s umbilical cord was wrapped around the neck of another, so they had to push it back and prepare me for surgery. After what felt like an eternity, the triplets arrived safely: two girls and one boy.

We stayed in the hospital over 21 days. The babies were in the neonatal intensive care unit (As preemies). I was on a different floor, recovering the from surgical ordeal  and processing what had just happened to me.

The Fear of Not Enough Love: In those first few days, while everyone else was celebrating, I was spiraling. I was only in my late twenties, not even 30 yet. I had gone from being the mother of two boys to the mother of five, “in the blink of an eye.”How could I manage five spoiled children? How could I love three babies at once?

The fear consumed me. I made a decision that I would take one baby home and put the other two up for adoption. It wasn’t because I didn’t want them—it was because I was terrified that I wouldn’t be able to love them enough. I wanted them all to have the love and care they deserved, and in my fragile state, I didn’t believe I could provide that. I was not going to see my babies until two were taken away.

But, God Intervene: A particularly stern nurse ignored my option, she brought me upstairs to see the babies. When I saw them lying there, so small and fragile, something inside me shifted. These were my babies. I didn’t know how, but I knew I could love them all. They were mine, and I would find a way. with lots of help from and Friends.

God Wasn’t finish with Us: Just as we were beginning to adjust to life as a family of seven, God had another plan. Our two oldest sons, the same boys who had been our entire world before the triplets arrived, passed away.

There is no pain like burying your child. It is a heartache that defies explanation. It breaks you in ways you didn’t think were possible. I didn’t think I could survive it, but somehow, I did. In His mercy, God left us with three children: two girls and one boy. Our family of five was now complete, just not in the way we had imagined. We would have gladly kept a family of seven, had we been given the choice.

Full Circle: Me-Coell-Bernice-Adrienne

The triplets were a blessing we didn’t ask for, but they grab their special place in our hearts and created their own light in our lives, after the unimaginable loss of our older sons. Raising them hasn’t always been easy, but it has been worth every challenge. They taught me that love isn’t something you measure or divide—it’s something that grows, even when you think you have nothing left to give.

Lessons in Faith and Resilience: Looking back, I realize that this journey was God’s way of teaching us about faith, resilience, and the depth of His love. He gave us what we needed, not what we thought we wanted. He taught us that even in our darkest moments, His mercy is never far away.

God’s Sense of Humor: God does have a sense of humor, doesn’t He? Here we were, trying to plan our perfect little family, and He gave us something entirely different. He reminded us that we are not in control and, that His plans are always better than ours. The fruits of our Labor.

Grand and great-grand each has their on special place in our hearts.

It’s funny now, thinking about how I thought I couldn’t love three babies at once. I thought I couldn’t handle five children. But God knew better. He knew what our family would need, even before we did. God Plan. Each

A Final Word: Life doesn’t always go the way we plan, but that’s okay. Sometimes, God’s sense of humor comes with blessings that are disguised as challenges. It’s up to us to embrace them, even when we don’t understand them.

I hope you enjoyed reading my story. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by life’s twists and turns, just remember: God’s plans are always greater than ours. Trust Him, even when it’s hard.

Stay tuned for my next blog, where I’ll share, “teaching my child how to die.”  The pain of losing a child, and how God’s mercy carried me  through.

Kindness: Reflecting God’s Love

Kindness is more than just a random act; it’s a reflection of God’s love and presence in our lives. When we practice kindness, we are living out a part of God’s character and spreading His light to the world around us.

What the Bible Says About Kindness

The Bible is full of wisdom about kindness. One of the most powerful reminders comes from Ephesians 4:32:

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”

This verse speaks to the transformative power of kindness rooted in forgiveness and compassion. It’s not just about being nice; it’s about choosing love in action.

Similarly, Proverbs 11:25 reminds us:

“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”

This scripture reveals the reciprocal nature of kindness. When we pour kindness into others, our own hearts are filled with joy, peace, and spiritual renewal.

A Simple Challenge

Today, take a moment to be intentionally kind. Whether it’s offering a helping hand, sending a kind text, or simply listening to someone with love, know that these small acts can make a big difference.

Ask yourself:

How can I embody God’s kindness today?

Let kindness be the thread that weaves our relationships, communities, and hearts together. Through kindness, we become living reflections of God’s love in action. Let kindness begin with us.
