I too have Donald Lawrence's new CD "TRI-CITY.COM", it is the best. I have his old one too, "Bible Stories". I love Dedrick Hayden as well (Got to Live the Life), and Karen Clark-Sheard (Finally Karen). I defintely can't forget about Winans Phase II. Has anyone heard/purchased the CD by Dawkins and Dawkins.

Thanks for the positive reviews of MaryMary and Trinitee 5:7. I think I'm going to get them both this weekend. I'm still a Kirk Franklin fan.

Onesavydiva, let me assure you that there is nothing you can do that would cause God to stray away from you. In His word He tells us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. I would really encourage you to read Woman Thou Art Loosed!! by T.D. Jakes. Also, there are Bibles and daily devotional books that allow you to form and/or rekindle your relationship with THE MAN!! When I went to college, I got a Bible for College Students that had daily devotionals and boy did it help. Never think that you are in this thing all by yourself, if there is someone who can help you in your personal REVIVAL, engage there help. If they are true Christians, they won't mind being a prayer partner and/or mentor. This man gave a testimony at my church this past Sunday that had the entire congregation in tears. He had been strung out on drugs and had done everything that he thought he was big and bad enough to do. But when he had had enough, he told God that he was tired of being in the mess that he was in and he was ready to allow God to take control. After going through rehab, today, he has been sober for three years!! Keep your head up and know that there is NOTHING impossible with God. If you want to discuss this further, don't hesitate to e-mail me.

The greatest distance between a problem and a solution is the difference between your knees and the floor.

Thank you soooo much for your kind and inspiring words, it is nice to know that there are so many people that are willing to offer a bit of reassurance...ya'll don't know how much your simple words have meant to me!

I mentioned it as merely a preface to my question, but I see that several of you picked up on that and right away went into "Sisterfriend needs help" mode THANKS

I know that before I mentioned that I was going through a hard time when I found out about my cousin (commiting homicide in MO), well, that same week, three days later, my uncle passed away, My grandmother went into the hospital with heart murmur, and my poor puppy had a heatstoke!!! Needless to say I was about to the end of my wit!! When I finally got back to church, I went to alter call and tried to release it all to God, and I was crying and crying and this lady next to me just held me, and rubbed my back and just told me to "Let it go". When I opened my eyes I realized that it was an AKA member from the chapter at my school...I thought this was totally ironic.

I said all that to say this, the members that I have met in this forum, as well as the members that I know at my school, and my DEAR, DEAR sisterfriends, have done SOOOOO much to keep me grounded, focused and faithful and I REALLY appreciate all you, this just reiterates why I am so striving to be part of this sisterhood


Much Love!!

I am still hooked on Yolanda Adams and Nashvillian CeCe Winans.
A good book to read is by my Bishop Joesph Warren Walker III it is called Before you say I do. It is a great book for those wanting to get in a relationship or get married.

I looked for this book on Amazon.com. Is it only available at your church. If so, what is your church's website or phone number so that I can get order information? Thanks. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

If any of you have any addictions, or if any of you are having difficulty freeing yourself from an abusive or unhealthy relationship, please please please get the video from TD Jakes ministries entitled "Breaking Out of Denial." It is so good. He is ministering to over 7000 women, and he covers it all.
