God told me to beware of those who claim to come in his name and have the appearance of sanctity (I had to look the word sanctity up so I know it was Him LOL). He told me that some of us have emancipated ourselves from the will of God and have created our own agendas. Not all who claim the name of God are really about God. Sometimes the people who love, seek, and desire God the most are the people you'd least expect. People who are far from perfect. People who you shake your head at and call "sinner".
My prayer: God I thank you for these words of wisdom and I thank you for seeing fit for me to be the person to bring these words forth. Amen. My words to my visitors: I am far from perfect. This I know. I strive daily to improve and to live my life the way God intended. This may come easier for some than others. I believe that God is trying to tell us that you can't judge another persons walk with Christ. Only God truly knows our hearts. God is dynamic. According to Merriam Webster dictionary (had to look this word up too as I'm typing this stuff its just coming to me (LOL) dynamic means marked by usually continuous and productive activity or change; Energetic; Forceful. God is not boring. While this is a good thing, God is not just sitting in church listening to a pastor. While this is an excellent thing God is not just sitting and reading and memorizing your Bible. God is fun. God is laughter. God is love. God wants us to run, jump, smile, laugh, play, joke around, hug, and all the while thanking, loving, and Glorifying Him. I'd like to thank my aunt Jeanell for saying this: Jeanell Flood-Mcgriff Sometimes God places things in our Heart and we sit on them day after day.We'll say to Him, Lord I don't know if I can do this or what will people think? It doesn't matter what people think. It's just YOU and GOD! God doesn't give You more than You can bare. If He's for Us, He's more than the whole world against Us! Whoever You are, I admonish You to Step Out On Faith and Get about Our Fathers Business..I DiD!! God put this idea for this website on my heart so long ago. I've finally started to work on it but I've been scared to tell people about it because I was afraid they'd look at me and say "What does she know about God?, Fatimah?" I'm silly, I joke around a lot, I crack corny jokes, I like to have fun. No, I don't quote the bible all day and I may not hum hymns all the day long but I love God. I love, seek, and desire to know him better and better every minute of every day. It's a longing that I can't describe. That's not always what you see when you see me being silly. Perhaps I should do more to change that. But like Ms. Jeanell said it doesn't matter what people think about me. It's not about me. It's about me being obedient to God and what He has assigned for me to do. So, I'm not going to lie and say I'm ready to broadcast this to the world right at this moment. But Jeanell's statement is definitely confirmation that this is something that I need to do. Thank you for reading and I hope you'll visit again soon and often. Love, Fatimah

The first book that we will discuss is Left to Tell by Immaculee Ilibagiza. Great book. I've read it before and will re-read w/you! Order a copy from the home page. Thanks for your support. To allow you time to obtain your reading materials I will blog on approximately the first 50 pages on Feb 22.
