Torria & Therese

 

Therese & Torria

 

This is a picture of two of my good friends. Torria, whom I love dearly. I love to just sit and talk to her. Her advice is always valuable. And the other is  Therese who finally came to church! If you go back on my blog to last year May 2013 you will see us when we first met at the museum. We’ve been close friends ever since.

 

 

My Friend Jessica

Jessica came into my life at a time when I felt alone. She recently joined my church after visiting for a while.

I don’t even know when we became friends all I know is now we are like sisters!

 

Church Family- Literally!

Church Family

 

So, when my family went down to Virginia we went to church- of course!

Going to church made my Birthday all the better (my birthday happened to be the day after Thanksgiving).

But I’m not blogging about my Birthday. I’m blogging about the fact that everyone who was at church was literally related to me- from the pulpit to the door.

At the church I attend in New York, everyone is not related to me; so going to church in Virginia and worshiping with family only seemed like a once in a life time experience.

In this picture is my family and all who attended service that night.

Oh, and before I end, to top off having a good birthday, the preacher- my cousin, preached a message using Isaiah 40 which is the exact scripture I’ve been dwelling on since the summer.

Isn’t Jesus good?

Cousins

Here we are, my siblings and our cousins!!

And guess what? that’s not even half of us! So many are missing.

You see how I’m the only Blessed one to get bunny ears?

Javaka Steptoe came to Church!

I’ve been witnessing to Mr. Steptoe for awhile and praying that one day God will allow him to visit my church and it finally came to pass December 29th 2013! He came to church! I was very happy as you can see in the picture.
