“ATEL” (Above the ear length….does that even exist HA) but really APLNatural hair liiiiiiife!!
Three days ago (Saturday April 21), it was well past 11 getting close to midnight, I was at my sister, J’s new apartment. After celebrating and lighting her new candles I bought her for her birthday (Pineapple, & Japanese Cherry Blossem) she wanted to hear my poem (Titled Man Down) since we were both performing in front of New Birth (Our Church) in approx. 12 hours. She’d barely heard this poem before, we were in a really loud room months ago and she can only remember slight bits and pieces. I stood up & of course after five minutes trying not to laugh and giggle I started speaking. After I finished my last two words man down. I look down as J was smiling and lying in the bed. After a few moments of silence & beautiful smiles she says, “The other day I asked my co-worker ‘what does it mean to feel when something is anointed?’ And her co-worker replied ‘you start to feel this warm feeling in inside…in the inside of your heart’. And I really never understood that until this moment right now. This is the first time where I have felt something that had the ‘anointing’…That had anointing written all over it!” And J continues to smile. I stop and try to process what she just told me. She, turning 22 in a few days, just said for the first time she has felt the anointing….with my silly poem? Like, are you serious? WOOOOOOW I am still in awe. Like God chose His moment to reveal Himself using me …and it was just what I thought a simple poem me and the Holy Ghost started writing. But I guess aint nothing just “simple” with the Holy Ghost. Amen?
Sunday. I ask my two cousins (Jalane & Ebise) for support at church. They knew I was doing a poem, but had no idea about my testimony, along with everyone else in the service. After singing and praises, it was my turn. I gave it my all, slipping a few times, but still great. As I recited the crowd is silent, stunned…making sooo many blunt references to shots, guns,bullets and my abuser. Could they believe the words that just slipped out of my lips...I even believe them? It’s all out on the table…now what? …then there was an overwhelming cheer after closing the poem in saying:
“This, is just a PART of my journey,
Because my future is bright and clear
Maybe we all go through pain and suffering,
Just to know, that our God, He is near.
So from the molestation, abandonment, neglect, and abuse,
A testimony was born new,
and now I, I can be put to good use
Some people only get saved
Through someone whose has been through,
So I’d do it all over again,
And even after this poem too,
Cause maybe my pain was just for you!”
Then I smile and got off the stage, and hugged pastor as the sanctuary cheers. I get back to my seat and the pastor says “Sis let me Thank You for your poem, and your testimony..” *praises go up* he cont “…thats why I love when young people get active and get involved, because that is a testimony that a lot of people will never tell, what you’ve been though. It goes to show that you’ve been healed through it because you are able to talk about it… And heres what blessed me…what blessed me you said you would ‘do it again’… That thang killed me, there are somethings that if we be honest, we would say ‘I’ll never do it again’, that sister said ‘but I’ll go through it again’ because she knew it was deeper than her, it was for us .” Then pastor continues to talk about the other performances (which were AMAZING BTW).The praise/shouting drums roll out & begin to play, and I am pulled by a tall man, maybe around 24. and he out is arms around me and pulls me closer so I could hear and says “Thank you, thank you for telling my testimony. When You went up there..I was up there..and I truly want to thank you!….”
Tears started forming, and all I could do is hug him and look him into his eyes to tell him you’re welcome. As he walked away I started feeling chains & bondages being broken and I just started to praise & shout.After that, Pastor called me back up to the pulpit and an alter call for those ages 21-30. Of course I was shaking, because I was definitely not planning this. After pure Holy Ghost words. Generational, and spiritual curses were broken. Things were being laid down that couldn’t be shaken off before. People were be setting free.
After it was over and we prayed out. Pastor anointed me, and prayed over me and I was starting to walk down the pulpit and leave…. but then I was stopped.
One woman gave me a hug, and just held me me tight for almost two minutes straight….and all she needed to be was held. Another woman began to tell me how she spent about 40 years in bondage. FORTY YEARS in bondage (she is currently 50) all because what happened to me, also happened to her. Then, there had to be at least 20-25 more people coming up to me crying, saying that it was their testimony as well! Its funny how once one person speaks out…we can ALL speak out..Like a door was crack, is now fully off the hinges.Then it dawned on me! Thats what this whole thing is about… Not JUST getting me in some pulpit and facing a fear. But Facing a fear AND winning souls at the same time. AHHHHH im just in awee!! so when I said “So I’d do it all over again, And even after this poem too, Cause maybe my pain was just for you!” IT is true…& God revealed to me WHAT that truly means. And I am just….in some type of feeling right now. Jesus, I love you.
Man Down.
