There is something within us that lets us know that there is a God somewhere. I have walked and talked with many people in my lifetime who came from small humble beginnings and made a tremendous life change for themselves and their families. Some of us were born in a shack. There were no zip codes and no area codes in those days. Yet where we were born and where we lived mattered then and matters now. Sometimes life presents us with difficulties and hardships. From time to time, an individual has to look back and ponder from whence he or she has come. More importantly, no matter what happens in our lives, individually or collectively, God will be there with us always. All we have to do is heed his call and follow him.

It seems like yesterday that things that were happening in my life over seventy years ago, demands that I trust in the loving purpose of a Sovereign God. I have learned to trust that He is in control – especially when life seems out of control. I am prospering and am always hopeful because as a blessed African American woman, I accept my responsibility to give back to the people in this country as much as it has given to me. I will always acknowledge my roots, as they are more important than ever. I am an empty vessel but am versed with a spiritual being to complete a mission for God. And I have an angel or angels who have guided me all my days. They are sent from my Sovereign Creator.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Our nation has taken great pains to cover up the history of the Black man, Africans, and the significance of Melanin in humans. Even our White forefathers politically ran this country from before the Declaration of Independence to this very day – the twenty-first century. When Thomas Jefferson constructed the Declaration of Independence, other persons such as John Adams and Benjamin Franklin made several changes. Ben Franklin even denoted in his writings “the no more Africans should be brought from Africa because Whites were already out numbered in this country. “All men created equal” included only White people, since African slaves were brought to this country - America - only for the labor the slaves could produce as well as their knowledge, talents and expertise in building this nation. All people are given air to breathe as a gift from God and must value themselves and all others. It appears that we will struggle for justice and equality for a lifetime and let a moral voice be heard for generations to come. “Black Lives Matter” and “All Lives Matter” are a starting point. There are many changes coming, no situation is perfect, but with our faith and willingness to accept each other’s talents as gifts from our Creator, we will prevail as a “whole nation”. God has his finger print on us, He’s not pleased with us, but He has the power and love to rebrand us in His own image.

OUR CREATOR IS BESIDE US ALWAYS AND WE ARE NEVER ALONE. WE CAN WALK AND BELIEVE IN SOMEONE OTHER THAN MANKIND. IT IS PROMISING TO SEE YOUNG PEOPLE, OUR GRANDCHILDREN, DIRECTING OTHER PEOPLE AND DEVELOPING A SENSE OF HUMILITY AND DISCERNMENT WITH A GIVING SPIRIT. THERE IS SOMETHING INHERENT IN ALL OF US THAT SHOULD NEVER BE EXTINGUISHED. THE GENERATIONS TO COME SHOULD BE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE WHAT THEY CAN BE, AS WE ARE ALL PUT ON EARTH FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE. WE LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING AND SEE SIGNS OF CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ARE YET TO COME. THIS IS THE BEST OF TIMES AND THE WORSE OF TIMES, WRITTEN BY CHARLES DICKENS. YET THERE IS A PRESENCE OF LIGHT THAT CAN ONLY BE GIVEN BY THE ONE WHO CREATED ALL THAT WE ARE AND HAVE.

“GOD IS BEGINNING TO GIVE ME A NEW SELF-IMAGE,” MEDFORD LEE TOLD ME. “OFTENTIMES, I FELT ISOLATED AND ALONE, ASHAMED OF MYSELF. I TRIED TO NORMALIZE AND FIND USEFUL RESOURCES TO HELP MYSELF AND MY FAMILY.” MEDFORD LEE FREASWATER WAS LIVING WITH FEAR OF HIS IMMEDIATE PAST AND WAS VERY ANXIOUS ABOUT THE FUTURE AS A YOUNG MAN. HE REALLY DIDN’T HAVE ANYONE TO TURN TO ABOUT HIS PROBLEMS. HE WAS A HIGH SCHOOL DROP-OUT BUT LATER, HE RETURNED TO SCHOOL.

MANY SITUATIONS CALL FOR INVOLVEMENT ON DIFFERENT LEVELS: FINANCES, PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT, SIBLING ISSUES, REARING OF CHILDREN AND TEENS AS WELL AS OTHER NECESSITIES OF LIFE THAT CALL FOR HELP BEYOND THE FAMILY OR COMMUNITY LEVEL. MEDFORD LEE HAD TO MAKE A CHOICE AMONG CHOICES FOR HIS CAREER, MISSION AND HIS LIFE OR FACE THE PROPHESY THAT HIS LIFE WAS IN DIRE STRAIGHTS OF DECLINE. HIS CHOICES AND DECISIONS WERE TRIPLY IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY FOR HIMSELF AS WELL AS HIS NEW GENERATIONS. EVERY GENERATION IS A CARE-GIVER FOR THE NEXT. HE ANCSTORS ARE HIS ROCKS IN THE TIME OF TROUBLE AND IN THE GOOD TIMES.

Fighting for justice in America is a struggle for a lifetime. It is not just a struggle for a moment, a day, a month, a year. A moral voice must be heard for the quest for equality and must be relevant to an entire new generation of Americans - Black, White, Asians, Latinos and Native Americans. There is no such thing as perfection for all situations because the challenges are too great. Many unforeseen things are coming, but with the Creator's help, we will prevail, we will not fail. Our Creator has given us air to breathe, love, and substance to live by and our very existence is a gift. Our talents are based on our faith and willingness to let God's power work in us. We must made a concerted effort to value each other as we all have the Creator's finger print on us. We are a community, a nation, America!
