Whitney Houston ( Silhouette Frame of Hollywood Fame)
“ We will always love you”
February 11th, 2012 5:20 pm I received a call from a dear friend that informed me that Whitney Houston had passed away. In that moment I just froze and it played back in my mind of the other sad day June 25th 2009 when I received a phone call that the legendary king of pop Michael Jackson had passed away.
They say in life there are certain moments in this existence you would wish you never have to witness but in life where there is Joy we also have Pain. These two icons have touched my heart in such a profound way; in both situations these were two lives that could have been saved if only those they called friends “ Truly Cared”.
Our beloved Whitney Houston left us far to soon, she was more than just a world media star she was a person who came to this world and used her God given talent to leave a mark for many generations to come.
When I think about Whitney Houston I see a woman that was beautiful well within the physical, she had an angelic aura that captivated us through her music, she had a style of Grace that was embellished with Star Power in the essence of smile that was bigger than life.
However, in her eyes you could see her pain and cry for help. As, I watch the recent footage of her hours and days before she passed away, all I could see was a woman that was once this mega star who was now down played as a washed up has been by industry moguls as they paraded around with the new up and coming, while Whitney was able to watch them rehearse and walk around completely disheveled.
In my heart and soul all I could say was “How could people not see that this woman was not ok ? “ Many of us such as myself have many questions on what caused the death of this great talent ? I do know in my heart that Whitney’s death wasn’t in vain.
She impacted many people of course one being myself, I grew up listening to Whitney and watching her leave the world in awe on how she could belt a tune and leave an audience wanting more. Like many people in the world Whitney lived in a world that was full of drugs and alcohol and money and making music executives money and being around people who were aiding her rather than helping her.
The biggest disrespect that was shown was by Clive Davis himself, I can not begin to understand how anyone could continue to party and celebrate while a body of one of the greatest entertainers of all times lie dead in a hotel room. “ The party should not have gone on” However that’s the life of Hollywood, however one day all of us will have to give account on what we did when it came to the love of one another.
On February 11, all of us lost a dear sister, a mother, an aunt and a world great. I pray that the media looses it’s focus on the fall of Whitney, and look at how she rose to a success that was bigger than life it’s self.
I will remember her as someone that marked my life in knowing that a woman can set out and accomplish great things and no matter what she may go through nothing and no one can ever take the love of God from our hearts.
In life we are all accountable for the choices that we make, we are also given close confidants around us that we call friends, and when we have these friends especially in those hard times, that’s when we need them the most to “ Count on” .
Whitney I know you are now in Heaven and free from the control and the demonic forces in this world, and that your legacy will live on for many decades to come, you may have left us far to soon but God had a greater purpose for you, may you and Michael now Rest In Peace and continue to look after the rest of us, and I can only hope and pray that when all of us leave this existence we can look back and see how many lives we impacted. Whitney you were “ Every Woman” and we will “ Always Love you”
God bless us all,

Face The Truth
Ephesians 4:14-15 NRSV
We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people’s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming. 15 But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,
The hardest part about the walk with God is when we can no longer look into the world wearing the same lenses we wore before we came to Christ.
The moment we decided to follow Christ we were then signing that our definitions can no longer work, that we are now signing on in the understanding that " GOD IS THE TRUTH" by following his truth we are now set free.
Many Christians today have become lost in the false realities, that we are able to still walk in the middle of the road with God. When we decide to take that the following of God, we are no longer being controlled by the masses of the world and it's understanding, we walk within in the word and become lead to follow the laws of the doctrine.
I know personally that this role comes with a wake up call and a release of all the old into the new and into the walk of truth that is brought together by the surrender of your life being changed.
God never said that it would be easy, but the reward is not stored here it's stored in heaven.
God has called us to know walk in truth, and have you ever noticed something about knowledge, the more you have the more accountable you are for the choices and decisions that you make. All of us are guilty when it has come to making the wrong choices, because sometimes the ones we make are based on self human understanding.
What God is showing us now, is the reality of when you know the truth no matter what it is, we are now to take a step back and see if we are leading through the eyes of God or through our own self will.
Many people right now, are going through trials, or they are facing great changes in their lives, and with any change it comes the fear of what is on the other side, but God he is there and in his hand lies your hand and he is guiding you, and that is when faith and trust will come into place, because at the time when something is happening, we never understand. That's just it God doesn't need you to understand he needs for you to trust him, and allow him to have his way.
The greatest challenge for me in having visions to see, is in the knowing that many faces of Judas walks by each and every one of us daily, can you just think for a second that Jesus knew Judas was going to betray him, but he had to choose to forgive him for his lack of acceptance to Christ left him in the world of monetary gain, even though we was going to betray the lord Jesus Christ.
I think that's how the lord forgives us when we know the truth, and we still betray him for lack of our own self control, but know matter what we can always come back to the lord and he will provide forgiveness, but once we have that truth of God we are now to walk in the likeness of Jesus, and in that walk we receive a life that is full of Joy, peace and happiness.
This week that is before for us, many truths are in place and they are ones for your advancement. The lord will do and will bring some great things in the lives of his children, and remember that if its according to the lords will, it's already done all you need to do is receive it and follow and obey and see what the lord will do for you.
You have been given the power of authority in all great things to do a service in this world to bring your piece of the puzzle. This is your time and in the truth that it shows it will bring you to the great destiny the lord has chosen for you.
God bless you!
