Hello, I saw the show of the journey of Cleveland’s African American churches. I am one of the people featured in this episode.  I am elated. I know that this is the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. No one knows the journey I have been on but God. It is just amazing to me that this man took my picture while I was praising the Lord.  On November 15, 2009, I got a phone call from a very special person that I know in the Church. On the other end of the phone she shouted loudly, saying “girl you are in the Plain Dealer newspaper. I had no idea what she was talking about. Then she said it again, and she stated what she saw.  She told me girl this picture is beautiful, you are praising the Lord.  She told me to go and get as many copies as I could.  On this day, November 15 was my daughter’s God Mother’s birthday and we were getting ready for the birthday dinner party. However I was exited about the news I had just received, while trying to get ready for the celebration.  I stopped what I was doing and went to the nearest store to pick up the paper. I bought all the paper’s that the store had. I have framed one for myself and I gave the rest to my friends and family.  On February 14, 2010 aroud 2:00am in the morning, I was not sleeping well.  Something told me to turn on the TV and when I did this episode was on.  Oh how awsome this was to see myself in such a powerful way.  I don’t know this man who took these photo’s but I would surely love to meet him in person. I tried to call the Plain Dealer on occasion and was not successful. Another time I heard that there was a display of some of his work at a Church and I tried to get there and was not successful.  I really would like to meet this gentleman and give him a big godly hug.  Well I’m going to go now because I could talk all day long about this article and my life, so thank you for listening and God Bless.
