For He Alone Is Worthy
Black Solidarity Sunday - Light Of The World Ministries, Cincinnati, Ohio
On Sunday December 14 many churches across our county are uniting in response to recent historic events that have impacted our community. Many churches are encouraging people to come dressed in all black as a show of solidarity as we pray for our community.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere ~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
#BlackLivesMatter #SaveOurSons
Makes Me Wanna Holler ~ Mike Brown, Jordan Davis, Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin #TheirLivesDoMatter
I have stayed tuned to CNN. I slept with it on just as I did in August. Did it disturb me to see the people looting? Yes. Ferguson should have prepared better for that. Businesses should have been protected but so should human life. I watched Darren Wilson on ABC last night. He may have said a lot but what I heard him say was this. "He felt small like a five year old holding on to Hulk Hogan. It doesn't haunt me. It's something that happened. I would do it again." Really Darren? Darren is still getting paid. People are raising money for him. He's gotten married recently. And Mike Brown? And Trayvon Martin? And Tamir Rice? And Jordan Davis? There will be no removal from work with pay. No marriage. Futures shot short.
Instead during this holiday season we will hear the silent screams of mothers and fathers who birthed children who are now historic accounts of brown boys whose lives seem not to matter to some. This uproar across the country is not solely for Mike Brown but to let people know that #TheirLivesDoMatter
Too Brown
Music Too Loud
Built Like A Wrestler
Skittles And Tea
Toy Guns
What Are You Intimated For?
They Are Just Kids
But They Gone Now
You Ain't Gotta Be Scared Now
Live Your Life With No Regrets Now
Makes Me Wanna Holla
And Throw Up Both My Hands
Just Remembering
Today I took my son's little hand in mine
As we walked up the street to possibly to see my grandmother in her home one last time
I told him how a dog bit me when I was little in her front yard
Though I didn't tell him I blamed my sibling for it...
We get in the house I think back to Christmas dinners
Gifts under a beautiful tree
The trees were always beautiful
Easter Sundays
Frilly hats and socks
Smells coming from the kitchen
Sitting at the little table
I stood in that kitchen today and remembered the sizzle of the hot comb and curling iron
The thought of runny eggs for breakfast
I couldn't stand eating eggs with stuff running out
Yuck!
I think I ate them, I had to
There was no choice
I watched children play in her backyard
Adults try to hold it together
I knew when I got home I would be ok
Weird looking at how many things match my comforter set
Shoe, sweaters...
I guess my grandmother knew too
She gave it to me as a Christmas present
I remember opening and thinking, "How did she know?"
So tonight as I cry myself to sleep
I'm wrapped up in her last gift to me.
The Thank-You That Brought Iyanla to Tears - Iyanla: Fix My Life - OWN
What a powerful moment. I watched last week and I knew I had to sit with my sons and watch again. I pray that when people view this video it really speaks to them. I'm still blown away by it.
Trying To Shake It Off - Loving This Taylor Swift Song
Back in August I knew Beyonce was going to perform on the MTV VMA's. That was about the only reason I was going to watch this show. I sit and wait and wait. While waiting I see some performances and I'm thinking, "What is music coming to?" When they introduce Taylor Swift I immediately think, "Oh, I should turn the channel. I don't listen to her." I can't, well couldn't name one Taylor Swift song until now.
As the performances goes along, I'm just nodding my head to the beat. My 3rd grader starts dancing. My thoughts wonder again, "What the h...?" Here we listen to Gospel Music, you know like Fred Hammond. We listen to Rap Music, Jay Z, Drake, Pac, Biggie. We listen to Beyonce and Brandy. Ok. Ok. That's a whole nother blog "How Fred Hammond, Jay, and Drake Get Me Through My Days".
But what we haven't listened to is Taylor Swift. I did some research. The demograpic of the people who would most likely listen to her music are white female college/graduate students. Where do I fall into that demographic. Female college/graduate student, who since 4th grade has attended schools with mostly white students. Hmmm..
At any rate, whenever Shake It Off comes on the radio it goes on blast. 0 to 100 real quick. Imagine that, my son and me riding through the urban streets of Cincinnati singing and dancing to this song. It's kinda crazy and fun. Seems like a moment straight out of the new show Blackish.
One day my son asked me when was I going to buy the song on iTunes. That way we can listen whenever we want to. I, um, well, you see I just........ What?
I should go ahead and buy it though. That's my jam!!
Maybe it's me who needs to shake it off, shake if off.
Step Out There
You will never know what you are capable of until you step out there and test the waters. You can sit and look at the water, you can talk to people about the water but you will never know how you operate in that water until you get out there in it.
How many opportunites have you not taken hold of because of fear? Ever heard, "I'm not good enough."or "I could never do that."? All of that self doubt has consumed you and your thinking. You have missed out on so much and time is of the essence. Time can't be retrieved. You have to move on to the next experience.
When you get to that experience and fear grips your mind say to yourself, "I am good enough." and "I can do that." Honor who God purposed you to be and get out there and test the waters. God not only has amazing things in store for you but guess what? He will even calm the waters when they get rough.

Roland H Frazier - Resting In Our Father's Arms
When I finally came to my senses early Sunday morning on September 14 I sat numb as I heard the tears of my adult child and couldn't imagine telling my younger son later. We sat in the dark after we spoke with Roland's family. No words. There was nothing to say. There was nothing we could say.
Roland passed on to glory after being shot while breaking up a fight.
Later on that morning after tossing and turning I tried to complete some work and my younger son wakes up and I have to tell him that his uncle, who he recently spent time with was no longer here. My child just looked at me and out of nowhere my other son appears in my room and says, "Let's go to church." I hurried because I knew this was urgent for him, hard for him. The rest of the day we all stayed together. After church we were so worn, so drained. Still in shock. Numb.
What we knew, if we knew nothing else, was that we would be in Beckley for the upcoming weekend. It has a weekend both emotional and beautiful. I'm trying to see what pulled at my heart so much. Roland was my 23 year old brother-in-law. People just simply loved him. When we first met it was like meeting a friend of my son's and his smile simply lit up wherever he went. I knew that I had to celebrate his life with family. I knew I had to worship God for giving this young man a good life, as was shown by the outpouring of love and support.
The tears I shed are for the senseless death. The pain he may have suffered. The life yet to live. The journey abruptly ending. The pastor at Heart of God Ministries (Beckley, WV) shared with us that the last time he saw Roland he was at the church sitting in the choir stand. I believe the lives of so many young people in that city are going to turn around because of Roland's passing. Even though it doesn't feel right we know that all things work together.
It was hard for those who loved and knew Roland to say goodbye but it was beautiful knowing that Roland is where many of us strive to be. Resting in our Father's arms.

Praying For The Family of Mike Brown
This morning I'm up getting ready for the day. It my sons first day of school of the school year. One in elementary and one in college. Today is also the funeral of Mike Brown who was killed in Ferguson, MO. That is not lost on me. As they get dressed, eat breakfast and prepared to leave home I realize that they are African American boys who although intelligent and crazy talented they will encounter things that I can't imagine.
On this day I think of Mike Brown, Trayvon Martin, and Jordan Davis. I pray for their familes and their friends who are left to mourn and wonder "What if?" In so many ways my sons are them. I stay aware of that.
Drew Chambers Is Eliminated From Sunday's Best
I really don't get into reality shows, especially competitions. But occassionaly I venture and watch BET Sunday's Best. Why? I love God and I love music that makes me think about and feel God's presence. I won't talk about previous shows, except to say I love Andrea Helms, but I will talk about last night's episode.
I watched the tryouts which are generally really good or really bad. Is there any in between? But I heard a voice and I said, "Oh, I'll watch this season." Immediately I was drawn to the voice and the ministry of Drew Chambers. So okay, he made it through the auditions let the show begin. The first group of singers were on last week's show and of course I'm like, "Where's Drew?" He tells me he will be on the upcoming show, which aired last night. Oh, ok, Drew told me over Twitter it wasn't a text or anything. We're not like friends or anything.
Last night at 8PM I'm planted in front of the TV and eventually Drew sings, I wanted to hear more but it's a show with limited time so maybe I'll get more next week. Well, no I won't because Drew was eliminated last night. Hmmm. I feel some kind of way. I go to Twitter and I have a small venting session, I'm a bit bothered. I had to call my friend, a young guy who has a strong musical background, and we discussed the issue surrounding what is Sunday's Best.
We live in 2014 where to be honest some African American families are leaving the traditional black church for nondemoninational culturally diverse churches. On any given Sunday you can hear Praise Teams singing, "Our God" (Chris Tomlin), "The Anthem" (The PlanetShakers) or "Because Of Who You Are" (Martha Munizzi). So the question is "What is Sunday's Best?" I watched that entire show last night and not every contestant was up to their best. The contestant who ministered, "Go Get It' by Mary Mary. She was allowed to stay even though she clearly messed up notes. Clearly. But I guess she gets to continue on because she fits the mold for Sunday's Best. I guess.
To me Sunday's Best is an artist who capitvates and allows you to hear a little bit of heaven. That doesn't require a bunch of riffs and runs. Sometimes it simply means a pure voice that sings with a heart after God that apparently doesn't always win a gospel music competition. Before I watched the show last night I went to YouTube and I heard Drew sing http://youtu.be/JA3Uh73YWY8.
Drew didn't make the cut last night but boy did his dismissal from the show have an impact that went beyond cultural lines. It provided some good conversation online about race, gospel music and the idea of "the anointing". To me that was possibly the best thing that happened on a Sunday.
Side note. Even if alone I'm silently protesting this season of Sunday's Best.

There Is Peace In Memphis, TN For Me
It was more to Memphis that I loved. It was serene to me. It was so beautiful to me. I felt like I was where I was supposed to me at that moment. To say the least we had a ball and at one point I'm walking through a strip mall and an older lady stops me and asks if I was from Memphis. I tell her no and she says you should think about moving here. That conversation has stayed with me for 12 years. Can you imagine that?
Well here it is 2014 and I have a 2nd grade son playing AAU. (Yeah, I know weird huh?) You would never imagine where AAU Nationals were this year. Yes! Memphis! Mind you they played in Maryland and it was a coach and players only trip a couple of weeks ago. The trip to Memphis, I was going and we went and I had a ball.
We stayed on the University of Memphis campus and I fell in love with the Poplar Avenue area with it's somewhat hidden mall and cute stores sprinkled all over the place. One evening my son and I went to dine at The Germantown Commissary and as we were riding we drove past the hotel we stayed at 12 years ago. I felt this heavy spirit come over me and I heard God say, "I've brought you back to the place you were years ago to feel what you felt then." I couldn't think of the word to describe how I felt in Memphis until I discussed it with my niece and the first and only word she could say was "peace".
I completely receive that. So now I've decided to make another trip to Memphis soon. I won't let another 12 years go by without me being in the place that makes me feel so peaceful.

Sneezed On The Beat.........
Sneezed On The Beat.........
Prior to December 2013 I had not owned any Beyonce' music, not even a Destiny Child's single. I would watch their videos just to see the unique coordination of their outfits. Once Mrs. Carter went solo I would continue to watch her videos and every award show that she would perform on but still hadn't made a purchase. I loved her energy and just thought she was simply fabulous, especially when performing with her hubby Jay Z.
For some reason I just never felt a real connection to Beyonce' until the birth of her beautiful daughter Blue. When I read about her speaking on motherhood things began to change for me. It was like ok, we have something in common. We are mothers.
I woke up the day after the surprise release to all of the commotion on social media. I had not made it to iTunes before someone had posted the video for Partition. Whoa!! I must have sat and watched that video over and over. Then I heard there were more videos. I was quickly absorbed in reading about the sales and listening to the songs online.
Remember when videos were are big deal coming out? MTV would tell you when the world premier for a video would be and you would sit and wait and watch it every hour on the hour. How else did we learn the Thriller dance? Beyonce's release was something similar. It wasn't comparable to anyone else's videos or anyone else's music.
As much as some people want to criticize Beyonce' and her music, some of her songs are explicit, I couldn't help but be excited for how well her album did in December. It's motivating. Yes, her money is different from most but we all have the same 24 hours. What are you doing with yours? It got me to a laptop and I not only finished my second self pub book but I made it available for sale.
Now, I'm listening to Beyonce often and she's coming to Cincinnati on June 28. The city is excited and I am too. Even if I don't get inside the concert, the most expensive tickets seem to be left, best believe if I'm in town I will be in the area. The chance to hear a snippet of Yonce' or Partition live..Man listen! That's gonna be crazy!
Once day I wasn't feeling well and all I could think to text a friend was "I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker." The response from my friend was one of confusion. "But you saved Arlinda." Yeah, well there are some saved chicks that love Beyonce' too.

There You Go Telling Me No
Some paths are destined to be crossed
Divine order some call it
I was on my path
You were on yours
Perpendicular occurrence
Between us
Unexpected friendship
I even made the team
Trying to wrap my mind around all the no's from you
Maybe I need to understand the
Man thing
Pride thing
But
Naturally I'm a giver
And
God loves a cheerful giver
I ask
You say no
I ask again
You say no
Either I'm going to stop attempting
Or you're going to accept that
For some reason
For you
I give
I finally think that you've figured it out
So, I ask cautiously
And...
There You Go Telling Me No Again

After several months you notice stuff
Like, what do you do at night? Do you go out on the weekend?
I'm waiting for the moment when I hear I did this or I did that.
It ain't happened yet.
But good stuff comes out of the Apple
Playlists
Blogs
Music never heard of.
Hey, can I borrow that Mac.
Naw, at night that's all I got.
Why?
Money short.
Can't go beyond a date.
How many you know want that?
Since I'm not associated with Gallup I had no answer.
So, I just simply let the music play on that Mac Book.

You can do that?
Well I suppose he would know.
His Mac is all he got.
When I Was A Girl
I think life was a lot simpler when I was a girl. You know how children just expect stuff? They don’t sit and wonder. “I wonder if I should ask.” or “What if they don’t get what I ask for.” Instead they ask with great expectation.
I know that even with my child having every toy known to man, he doesn’t hesitate to ask me for whatever he sees on t.v. and he definitely has no problem asking for a new pair of Nike Elite socks.
The minds of children have their hands and hearts open with the idea of wanting and expecting. But what happens when we become older? What happens when we experience rejection after rejection, disappointment after disappointment? Slowly that idea of expectation fades away. You don’t expect for yourself anymore. Those things that you wanted before become a faded memory and you just settle and believe, “Well, maybe this is all I’m suppose to have.” Is it?
You no longer want to hear no, or anything that sounds like it. You don’t even put yourself in the position to hear any negative response. Why put yourself out there to be put in the same place of rejection and disappointment?
My childhood was filled with so many cool things. What stands out the most were my frilly dresses, from Polly Flinder’s, my pretty dolls and my amazing dollhouse that had real carpet and working lights. My mom would always have us cute as a button. Even to this day she calls me her doll baby. Though I don't always feel that way. There are days when I feel more like a doll that's been thrown away. You know, just put aside.
Just maybe one day I’ll get to the point of moving past that fear of asking. I’ll truly expect those good things to occur in my life, similar to when I was a little girl, and when they show up I’ll actually acknowledge that situation for what it is. And in my heart I'll know that what God has purposed for my life only shows up when God says so.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33
Light Of The World Ministries (Cincinnati, Ohio) #MarchMadness Recap
When our pastor gave the vision for our March Madness Series my immediate thought was, “We’re going to do what?” We’re used to church on Sunday and Happy Hour, bible study, on Wednesday but you’re expecting us to have company on a Thursday and two Fridays during March. On top of that we’re hosting some heavy hitters in ministry. Dr. R. A. Vernon, of The Word Church in Cleveland, Pastor Eric Petree, of City Gate Church in Cincinnati, and Pastor Paul Mitchell, of Revival Center Ministries in Dayton.
Now, after incredible worship experiences, I can say that this series was probably one the best that I’ve been to. Each night was it’s own special moment and to see people worship corporately and share on social media and via texts how they had experienced God in major ways was amazing.
Highlights:
March 13 – Dr. R. A. Vernon preached from “The Prayer of Jabez”. You have to be careful not to let your mess mess up your children. Never make an external indictment until you make an internal investigation. My greatest prayer is that my life doesn’t mess up my babies.
March 21 – Pastor Eric Petree – Well he first set it off when he began singing “I Won’t Complain” from that moment on it was all about worship. He preached “Favored But Fruitless” from 1 Samuel 1:7 where Hannah wept and did not eat because she could not bear a child. He discussed who or what was the Peninnah in our lives. He posed the question, “How long has it been since you have had a spiritual birth?
March 28 – Paul Mitchell came from 2 Peter 2:15-17, “Stop The Madness” If you change a man’s heart you can change his life. The devil is after the mind. What good is it to gain the world? I’m saved but my mind is jacked up. A lot of stuff you are waiting for Jesus to cure. He’s waiting for you to touch Him. Sometimes we have to ask, “Lord diagnose me”. I’ll never forget the KJV 2 Peter 2:16, he made that scripture very personal.
Each night praise and worship was high and altar call was something that was needed and welcomed. One night I was at altar call and did not remember how I go there. I saw people worship freely and let go of some of those chains that were holding them up.
By Saturday March 29 I was worn out but the one thought that stayed with me was “Does Pastor Mike have a plan for March Madness 2015?”

Selfie Sunday @ Light of the World Ministries (Cincinnati, Ohio)
On Sunday March 31 our pastor decided our church would have Selfie Sunday. So right before he preached, Is It Still Good To You, he told us to get our phones out and take pictures with those next to us.
After church ended we all went crazy taking selfies with our friends and members. My pastor took a pic with EVERYBODY!!! Lol. He even got me to get in one too. (See Above)
More pics that I took are below.
If you go on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter and search #GetLOW #ILoveMyChurch you will find incredible pics from our Selfie Sunday.

Warm Peanut Butter Cookies
I've probably seen this person numerous times. I never spoke. Never had the opportunity. Never had a reason to. I could tell he was good at what he did but our paths never crossed, or I probably didn't pay attention if they did.
I tend to stay in my own little world and my circle of peers is close and limited. I've learned a lot over the years about having too many people in my space.
Within the past months this person has been placed directly in my space. I've had to come out of myself and embrace the newness of the situation. I remained cordial and approachable.
Maybe the universe has opened up this experience for me to open up. I'm sitting down one day reading and I hear his voice, "You want a cookie?" I look up and this guy is presenting me with warm peanut butter cookies.
I take the cookie and as he walks away I think, "Who does that?" But it's not the last thing he shares and soon we talk more. We talk about life, school and our faith. He teaches me how to navigate his MAC book and introduces me to new music.
One day I'm busy with day to day stuff and I reflect on a friend telling me that I sit up in my tree and watch as the world goes by. "Why not come down a few branches?" Lol
As I'm reflecting I hear God say. "This guy you can trust." So I open up more and it's been really good just being myself without worrying about other unnecessary stuff.
But do you know how I know this is a God moment? This guy carries oil with him daily. He's a Believer and he doesn't hide that. Yes!!!!
Just to think that this really cool experience started over warm peanut butter cookies. I'm so thankful for those moments when the only thing you can say is, "God did that!"
Sometimes God places good things before us and we can get in our own way thus blocking blessings. Get out of your way God has incredible things for you.
Just On Time
Growing up in church there was one song that was a constant. He’s an on time God. (Yes, He is.) As you become older and closer to Him you realize that God is on time and that your time is not important. In today’s society of Smart Phones, Instant Messaging, and oh, yeahmicrowaves we want what we want right now. If it doesn’tcome right now then something must be wrong. Your mind immediately goes to not only is something wrong, something is wrong with me.
Why is it not happening for me the way that I envisioned it? What about the plans that I had? The goals I had. Do they not exist? Am I not worthy of my dreams coming true? One day I was speaking the words from the sitcom Being Mary Jane. “Where’s your man? Where’s your kids? Where’s your happily ever after?” Out of nowhere my 8 year old son says to me, “Mom this ain’t no fairytale. This ain’t once upon a time.”
We both laughed for a while, sometimes I don’t realize how much my sons pay attention to me. Once laughter had passed I began to think about some of those things and then it dawned on me that many of the things that I have possession of or that I have experienced I never would have thought of it for myself. So just maybe some of the things we want for our own pleasure in reality is not in God’s plan. All day long we can ponder, “Why don’t I have this?”, “Why don’t I have that?”. The truth is that God is in control but you ask what about “faith without works” and “if you believe it you can receive it”?
God wants us to have awesome things, awesome friendships, and awesome relationships. Though what He wants first is our attention, our time and to realize that all good things occur in God’s time.
So, the next time you are sitting and having a “Whoa as me moment” and you’re wondering where is your significant other, where is your new car or home just remember He may not come when you want Him to but He will be there right on time. He’s an on time God. Yes, He is!!!!!

Christmas Dinner That Went Completely Wrong
I had been craving greens and went to the local grocery store and picked up two cans of Glory Greens. My house smelled so good and eventually people started to stop by. Even though we were all going somewhere who doesn't stop for a sampler plate?
We were all in the kitchen when I heard my sister yelling. My sister continued to yell. It was when she screamed my name that I ran into the dining room. I stood and looked at her shocked face and she said nothing. She simply looked at her plate. I followed her eyes and immediately left my dining room yelling for my nephew. It was all I could take to see a head with two beady eyes and what appeared to be antennae on a plate mixed with greens.
My sister and I have both contacted Glory Foods. I was never contacted. My sister was, they offered her more coupons for Glory Food products. Needless to say, they never have to worry about me purchasing another Glory Food product.
I Googled "Glory Food Insects" and articles came up. This whole situation is disheartening. I mean who wants their Christmas dinner ruined? With an insect? There was no glory here.

Sit Here In This Silence
Early in the morning
Late in the night
I'm just sitting here, laying here
The silence is what I need to think
To hear
From Him
Only tonight, He's not speaking
Rather listening to me
Decisions I need to make
Decisions I shouldn't have made
Thinking back on voices heard
Telling me
Trying to break me
Convincing me
Deciding not to be bitter
Trying to be better
My crown slipped
Had to go back to Him
He sent me to her
Esther & I sat several times
Just talking about being a princess
Becoming a queen
She adjusted my crown
Told me not to feel down
Assured me that what others try to do to you
It's already done to them.
No need to wish for what already is.

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS
Achieve and maintain tranquility, beloved. Even though the opportunity to be drawn into someone else's chaos presents itself, you must stand your ground of peace. Refuse to allow anything to disturb you. Be level-headed and trust Me to give wisdom and to direct your steps in situations that take you off guard. Keep looking up, says the Lord.
Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.
