My Wonderful Weekend....

So much happened this weekend, I don't even know where to begin.....

On Saturday morning, my mother, Miss Beasley and I went to an event called "High Tea with Tramaine Hawkins". I will admit that before this event, the most I knew about Sister Hawkins, was from that Rough Side of the Mountain gospel commercial on BET when I was little. I got dressed up in my first lady finest and away we went. I was with Mama so you know that meant some draaaaaaaaaammmmmmmma. The church we were going to is in the Churchland section of Portsmouth. Anyone who knows anything about that area knows that it is VERY close to Suffolk. I mean, one wrong turn and you are in Suffolk. I decided to use my trusty GPS on my Nextel phone(that was a shameless plug for Nextel). First we ran into some slow traffic due to an accident. That is when all hell broke loose. She started hollering she should have just went through the downtown tunnel and that dayum GPS doesn't work. So she continues to fuss and carry on until the next blow up.....she sees a sign that says Newport News/Hampton. More hollering ensues. At this point I just tune her ass out, because she has reached a level I like to call, Bonefide Crazy. Needless to say after what was probably a big ugly scene in an Advanced Auto(I stayed in the car....I wanted no parts of that) a nice gentlemen told Mama to follow him to Tyre Neck road where we were trying to go. When we got to the church the first thing I noticed was the parking lot was not as packed as expected(Or rather how Mama proclaimed that we would not have anywhere to park). I remember when we went to see Juanita Bynum and we waited in line for almost 2 hours. We got inside and the inside was decorated beautifully in pink and green. Oh you know a sister was taking notes for her wedding. Sister Hawkins came out and gave her testimony which led to her discussing her new release. After her testimony I decided I would buy her CD because she went through a lot to get it released. Well, seeing that I am a Ministers Wife to be( I am learning there are some perks to this role...lol) I got an autographed picture and a free copy of her CD. Hello! Y'all know I like free. The food was good and plentiful, there is nothing I hate more than going to something and there isn't enough food. We had a good time.
On Sunday, Rev preached at my home church. The Lord really used him. But of course, when there is a guest preacher, there has to be someone to introduce him. Guess who that was? Me. Anyone who knows me, knows I don't do public speaking. I had on 4 inch stilettos and a girdle and I thought I was going to faint. I got up there at that podium and I introduced him the best way I could. I got a little nervous at the end, because I did not know how to wrap it up. I will ramble all day long if allowed. He did wonderful, though. He was not nervous at all. Rev preached from the book of Isiah. If I had my notes, I could give the exact chapter and verse.
Pray for me y'all, I have an interview at Sally's today. I hope I get it. I need the extra income.
This past weekend was a good one. I did a lot of soul searching and a lot of praying, and this morning I could feel the Lord turning things around for me. Be Blessed!
