NOT KNOWING THAT SHE WAS PREPARING THE WAY FOR ME TO WALK IN HER FOOTPRINT WITH THE MANDATE AND THE CALL, AS A YOUNG GIRL I REMEMBER MY GRAND MOTHER FALLING SICK . FOR EIGHT WEEKS SHE FALL INTO A DEEP SLEEP, DID NOT EAT OR DRINK ,DID NOT SEEN BY A DOCTOR OR WENT TO THE HOSPITAL, I REMEMBER BEING IN THE CARIBBEAN BACK HOME AND MY GRANDMOTHER ONLY BROTHER LIVING IN OCOLA FLORIDA, MY MOTHER SENDING HIM A TELEGRAM AT THE POST OFFICE TO INFORM HIM THAT HER SISTER WAS SICK AND IS NOT WAKING UP, I CAN REMEMBER MY GRAND UNCLE SENDING MY MOTHER MY GRANDMOTHER WHITE CHIFFON AND A WHITE BONNET FOR HER BURIAL, IN THE SMALL HOUSE. SO SMALL LIVED SIX PEOPLE INCLUDING ME, PEOPLE FROM THE CHURCH WOULD COME EVERY DAY TO SEE MY GRAND MOTHER, I REMEMBER WE WOULD BE UP ALL NIGHT WITH A VIGIL WAITING FOR HER PASSING,IT SO HAPPEN I DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF WHAT IS GOING ON , HOWEVER I BELIEVE IN MY HEART MY GRANDMOTHER WAS GOING TO BE FINE, ONE OF MY CLOSE FRIEND GOT PREGNANT AT A VERY YOUNG AGE, SHE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO, I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE WE WERE VERY YOUNG,A BIT OLDER THAN ME, I KNOW THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS TO LET HER KNOW THAT I HAVE A PAIR OF WHITE NIGHT GOWN WITH A SLIPPERS AND A BONNET THAT I COULD GIVE TO HER, WHILE MY MOTHER WAS AWAY I WENT INTO THE HOUSE AND STEAL THE BURIAL CLOTHES AND GIVE IT TO HER THAT SHE WOULD ABLE TO WEAR AT THE HOSPITAL, FOR THE BIRTH OF HER BABY, DAYS LATER AFTER I GIVE AWAY MY GRAND MOTHER BURIAL CLOTHES, I HEARD A LOT OF WHISPERING AND PRAYING, I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON I THOUGHT MY GRANDMOTHER PASS AWAY OR MY MOTHER MISSING THE BURIAL CLOTHES, TO MY SURPRISE MY GRANDMOTHER START TALKING ABOUT WHAT SHE SEE IN HEAVEN AND THE LANGUAGES THAT SHE START SPEAKING WAS UNBELIEVABLE , MY GRANNY WAS SPEAKING IN HEBREWS,SPANISH, ONLY TO NAME A FEW, MY MOTHER THEN SEND FOR THE PASTOR AND ELDERS OF THE CHURCH TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MY GRANDMOTHER WAS SAYING, MY GRANNY LAID IN BED FOR ANOTHER WEEK NOT OPENING HER EYES JUST TALKING AND QUOTING THE SCRIPTURES,OF THE BIBLE, MY GRANNY CAME OUT OF THAT COMA,(TRANCE) LIVING ANOTHER TEN YEARS BEFORE HER DEATH IN 1982, SO COULD IT BE THAT MY GRAND MOTHER SEE HEAVEN? I BELIEVE SHE DID !! THAT IS WHO INSPIRES ME.. AND BY FAITH AT A YOUNG AGE I WAS ABLE TO GIVE AWAY HER BURIAL CLOTHES, NOT KNOWING THE PROPHETIC AND STRATEGIC STEP OF FAITH I WAS TAKING AS A 12 YEARS OLD GIRL,GROWING UP TO BE THE WOMAN I CALL TO BE AND THE FAITH THAT I WALK IN I GIVE THE GLORY AND HONOR TO GOD, AND THANKS TO MY MENTOR MY GRAND ,MOTHER MISS BIRDIE ...
