What seems to be crazy may be faith university



Zora Neal Hurston once said;

"there are years that ask questions and years that answer"


I have been in Savannah, GA for more than year – I came here site unseen stepping out on faith and believing that there was calling for me here.

I gave up my home, my high profile career, political clout, friends and family. Only to discover – Savannah SUCKS

I took strides to find the right and good in it and at every corner I met bullshit – I cant say it any other way. I started complaining and asking GOD WHY!!! He would lead me to such a dead and dry valley and how does this tie into my purpose.

EVEN THOUGH I COMPLAINED ALL THE DAY LONG AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS I WAS BLESSED AND MY CHILDREN WERE BLESSED – BUT I WANTED OUT OF THE VALLEY! (I HAD MANNA FROM HEAVEN BUT WANTED MEAT – UNGRATEFUL ASS!)

As my prayer life grew stronger each day coping with a state that could easily be on another planet as things were so strange and impoverished. I made up my mind to leave… I refuse to bring the New Year in with my feets planted in Georgia!

I have a job offer in Chicago and an interview in Ohio on Monday! I am hoping for the Ohio gig believe it or not. I love and miss Chicago – but I’ll be close enough to visit and enjoy the things I miss most without actually living there!


I said all this to say faith is a journey that does not REQUIRE A SAFTY NET – GO FOR WHAT YOU WANT -

Do you know what you really, really, really want?
And if you got it would you be satisfied?!

We just got approved for a home so all praises be to GOD, however the mortgage is going to be steep. I told my hubby that God will not put more on us than we can bear. Also to whom much is giveth much is required. I am posting this on my personal blog...stop by when you get a chance. I heard about you on MZREPRESENT, take care and I hope everything works out for the good of GOD for you and your family. Be Blessed!

Hi still_pocahontaz, thank you for blessing me with your presence on my blog!

Let me share this with you when I had my home built I wasn’t making $40,000. I had no husband and 2 school age kids – my mortgage was $1400 a month!!!! I never missed a payment and was never late! GOD IS MORE THAN AWESOME!!! (plant a seed for your home)…

I dont think anyone will ever be satisfied... we are human and its in our nature to forever want more than what we have... we may have what we need but we always want more..

I love Zora by the way... so thanks for sharing

Nice place you have here. As long as you ask, I have to say, I have everything I want and I'm happy. I just want more of it. LOL

Peace and Love,

Crossed paths with you briefly at the Lo Zone, but that's not enough to say I know you. However, I would say that going to a place where there is "no life" (I'm from Jacksonville, FL and have visited Savannah, GA) and no one pulling on you is a blessed place to be for a writer. I wish I could get a few weeks of peace. It would be worth it's weight in gold. So, be blessed my sister. Enjoy the journey God is taking you on.

Thanks for the blessing (words h ave power) and God bless you too!
