NEW YORK, NEW YORK!!!!

Saturday Nov. 2 2013

     I was honored to meet a young lady by the name of Jennylind Parris.  She had a dream that came true by her hard work, talent, and the Grace of God. Jennylind performed at the Metropolitan Room on Saturday night on November 2nd in New York.  Her performance of the "Tribute to the Incomparable  Carol Burnett" was incredible.  Jennylind was funny, a great singer and actress. She is beautiful, and very talented. Jennylind had us laughing and crying.  You could feel the passion that she had for Carol Burnett and the wonderful lady that she is.  I pray that Jennylind fulfills all the dreams she has and that God blesses her abundantly.

     GOD gives us dreams in our life time.  He wants us to fulfill those dreams even if sometimes they don't work out.  I found out in my life that if I trust in God, He will lead me the right way.  I was making desserts for my friend Lorraine's catering company. We made the comment "It would be great if we could have our own kitchen".  We laughed and said, "that would never happen, because things cost so much".  Well!!! God had other plans.  In one month, we rented the kitchen from the school that our kids went to. We were there for four years. I made cakes, lots of cookies and whatever anyone wanted.  I was known as the Cookie Lady. It was a lot of hard work, but I had a lot of fun. So I know having the bakery was a God thing.
     NOW!! There was a different situation that was not of God but maybe a stepping stone to my future.  I always wanted a restaurant  so I went for it.  I didn't ask God if I should open it up, I just did it.  I found out that if its God its easy, but if its not of God its a struggle. We really need to look at this and spend time with the Lord before we step out.  I don't regret what I did, It was a dream and I fulfilled it. It is better to pursue a dream and fail, than not to try at all. You never know how God will redeem and use your circumstances.
