I Am Grateful

for the ability to move my feet. God has taught me that when He teaches me something, I need to move my feet to put it into practice. I am not always the best, but He has given me the heart to do His will.

Sometimes it has been sending an encouraging note to someone who needed it, and once it was pack up and leave home. The results have blessed me beyond my imagination.

Faith is about living what you believe. It is about moving and action. What you do, shows what you believe.

They Moved On Up

In this episode of TV Talk with the Sistas, they discuss how a show like the Jeffersons not only entertained us but gave us a role model. They also talk about another great African American role model, from the Netflix limited series, Self Made about Madam CJ Walker.

I Am Grateful

for the chance to study God’s word. I have been a part of BSF for more than 20 years. I have learned how to study God’s Word but more so I have developed a relationship with God that guides my life.

I have had the privilege of attending different groups and seeing what God is doing in different locations. I have been through many books of the Bible, some several times, yet each time is like a new experience. I learn about God in a different way.

I had no idea that this would change my life the way it did. I am grateful.

I Am Grateful

I have lived on the plains most of my life. (North Texas) There are two seasons. Hot and hot.

A couple of years in Chicago have taught me to appreciate the seasons. I never dreamed there was a place where the average temperature is 50 degrees. I love it!

I am grateful for living where it snows.

Where We Started

We are sisters. We watch television. We talk about it. TV Talk With the Sistas is a podcast that celebrates African American culture. In our second episode, we examine one of our favorite shows, In the Heat of the Night with its groundbreaking stories and lead African American actors. We compare it with another one of our shows from across the pond, The Crown.

I Am Grateful

In the month of November, I will examine the things that I am grateful that I have access to through images. The things or individuals I am most grateful for is family. This is how we live our life because God has been good to us. This image was taken when we had littles. They would love an afternoon at the park.

This month examine how God has been good to you. Write down those things you are grateful for.

If We Don’t Tell Our Stories No One Will Know

When I am scrolling through movies, sometimes I take a chance. The other night I took a chance and had no clue what I watching and went wow. I love history but remember that it is written by the ones who win. They tend to leave out the things that embarasses them.

The storyline is around the potato famine in Ireland. It spoke to me of an oppression I could not fathom. The images stuck with me. It gave me a new perspective.

It tells the story of an Irishman who comes home from fighting for the British to find his world decimated. He sets out to get revenge. The cinematography was beautiful. The characters did not disappoint. It told a story.

This movie re enforced the idea of people telling their own story. Our histories have to be told by people who care about them.

I dove into a history that I did not know, yet a small portion of my history is Irish, perhaps the ones who landed in Texas in 1850s. Now I have an idea of what they left behind.
