REVELATIONS 21:21-27

THE TWELVE GATES WERE TWELVE PEARLS, EACH GATE MADE OF A SINGLE PEARL. THE GREAT STREET OF THE CITY WAS OF GOLD, AS PURE AS TRANSPARENT GLASS. I DID NOT SEE A TEMPLE IN THE CITY, BECAUSE THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY AND THE LAMB ARE ITS TEMPLE. THE CITY DOES NOT NEED THE SUN OR THE MOON TO SHINE ON IT, FOR THE GLORY OF GOD GIVES IT LIGHT, AND THE LAMB IS ITS LAMP.  THE NATIONS WILL WALK BY ITS LIGHT, AND THE KINGS OF THE EARTH WILL BRING THEIR SPLENDOR INTO IT. ON NO DAY WILL ITS GATES EVER BE SHUT, FOR THERE WILL BE NO NIGHT THERE. THE GLORY AND HONOR OF THE NATIONS WILL BE BROUGHT INTO IT. NOTHING IMPURE WILL EVER ENTER IT, NOR WILL ANYONE WHO DOES WHAT IS SHAMEFUL OR DECEITFUL. BUT ONLY THOSE WHOSE NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE.

Hi all, this will be a extremely short blog I promise. As some of you know yesterday was a sad day for me and my family. A dear friend/family member passed away yesterday. This woman was not a blood relative but she might as well have been. To us she was family. All day yesterday I kept thinking about her and what I could say, but she was so important to us and such a blessing to us that there was no words I could say to express how important this woman was to my family. For those who follow my Facebook page and also those who know how important she was. You all were probably surprised by the fact that I didn’t post anything.

But every time I went to post something I just felt it wasn’t good enough for her. Than I thought, well wait I can post a picture I have of her. This particular picture I have passsed by a million times in my computer but I was so frustrated because the one time I wanted it and I could not find it! I was so annoyed.

So all day I was like what do I do? What do I say? At 10:00 yesterday night I still had nothing. So I decided to let it go and go to bed LOL. Than about 3AM I woke up out of a dead sleep and the Lord reminded me of this ring (pictured below👇)

You see on my 16th birthday (I think 16) Mary gave me this ring. She gave it to me for two reasons, number one the ring was important to her because the diamond in it was from her childhood and she always dreamed of passing stuff like this down to her children/grandchildren and since I was the closest thing she had to a granddaughter she decided to have the diamond from her childhood ring made into a ring for me. She said she gave it to me over my siblings because one, she knew my brother wouldn’t want a woman’s looking diamond LOL and second, my sister. She knew even at that time was close to being engaged. So she said she knew she’d eventually get her diamond LOL. When she gave it to me she went into this story about herself when she was a young woman. She said not to long after she came to know Jesus she saved up money to buy herself a ring similar to this one and she said the reason she did that is because she wanted to show the LORD that no matter what happened in life he’d always come first and he’d be her one true love, her father, her  maker, and yes even her husband. Than she went on to say, the only thing she struggled with. Was the fact that she never had any children of her own. Than one day she said my dad came into her life, and the Lord placed it not only on her heart but also my Fathers, to look at my dad as her son and my dad look at her as a second Mother, so yes my Dad and all us kids were very spoiled with many parents/grandparents LOL.  Mary was so excited to know that the Lord gave her the desire of her heart not only to know she had a son who honored her like a son would honor their mother, but that also it carried on to his kids because me and my siblings and especially me truly did look at her as a Grandmother.

Mary not only told me that whenever I look at this ring to remember that the Lord does give us the desires of our hearts, but also that she wanted me to think of this ring the way she thought of her ring. She told me to remember even if I had no one but him it be ok. People always ask mE why this ring looks so much like an engagement ring, well that’s because that’s the way Mary intended it to look like. She wanted me to know that even if I never got a ring from a man it be ok and it wasn’t the end of the world because I have the ring I was intended to have. And I have a relationship with the most amazing, wonderful man around and that’s my savior Jesus Christ.

Mary helped pray me through so many hard times she is definitely going to be missed by me and so many others. Mary helped so many people not just me and my family. I just have one request from all those she helped. Don’t forget the amazing things that woman did for so many of us. The last few years of her life were not easy, but even through her pain she continued to praise and honor her king. So please let’s do that for her now. Let’s not forget what she did for us and let’s honor her. Her body may be gone but I believe her spirit carries on. I believe she can see what I’m writing even now. Knowing her she’s sitting there with Jesus singing hymns while reading this article.

To anyone that’s in my condition. Please don’t take what I wrote out of context. I am not saying people in our condition can’t fall in love (so no hate mail) LOL. I believe we can, I’m not saying we can’t, heck I’m not even saying I can’t. I’m just saying thrU my teen years and even now. No matter what life brings I’ll always have the Lords love and his promises and this diamond ring is a reminder of that.

I did not plan on writing a blog at all today honestly I hadn’t planned on one even this month but since I’m here I figure I’ll give you a little update of the book. It’s coming great. I’m hoping to have it released by Easter. There shouldn’t be any more delays from this point on. We officially have a publisher!! Which is a huge deal. I’m not ready to give out who the publisher is or any true details about the book, but I did want you to at least know I’m working very hard on this book. And honestly the passing of my friend Mary is pushing me to work even harder, because her one request before she died was to read my book and I’m sad to know she will not be here to celebrate the release with me. But even though she’s not here, that does not mean she won’t see it. She will probably get to read it before any of you LOL and best part is she will be able to get the Lords reaction, cone to think of it I’m kinda jealous LOL.

The one thing I need still is donations! You all are amazing and I know you have given so much already, but sadly every penny that I raised went to the publisher, I literally just made it. Down to the dollar practically. But sadly a publisher just publishes the book LOL. Now I need to raise money for advertising! As awesome as it is to have started the publishing process, the publishing of the book will mean nothing if I do not have the money for advertising to get the word out about the book, and sadly facebook isn’t enough of a platform for advertising LOL, I wish it were, but sadly it’s not LOL So our new goal is to raise money for advertising! People keep asking me all the time what do I need to get this book out there, well this is what I need. Prayers and money. So that’s my update I need more money (Joking/Sorta) LOL.

Are you guys wondering why I chose Revelations 21:21-27 as my main scripture for this blog? Well if you were wondering, it is because Mary always talked about the day she’d see Jesus face to face and she always bragged about what heaven looked like. She’d quote that verse above practically every time I seen her. She also loved to sing Hymns which is why I chose to feature that video above👆Although Mary would probably say this particular version is to modern for her, but oh well Mary I’m working with what I got sister LOL.

Once again I’m reminded how short life truly is. Don’t waste today because you truly don’t know your tomorrows! By the way everyone keep an eye out for mary’s name to appear in my book. There’s an even more amazing story I share about her and what I experienced with her by my side! 😜
