God's TEXTURE is a BEAUTIFUL TEXTURE, it is ALL YOUR OWN TOO!

I penned this book for our daughter whose hair texture is not "fine" as her sister.  I wanted to convey unto her that HER HAIR IS HER GLORY AS WELL, and it is NOT HER GOOD HAIR!

DEDICATION PAGE, TO MY LEA-LEA

On a JOURNEY we will go,
I want U MY BABY to UNDERSTAND YOU ARE UNIQUE and this how MOMMY and GOD will tell you so

People come in ALL sizes, shapes, and color
There is ONLY ONE of YOU, and YOU carry ONE SET of foot and finger prints which distinguishes you FROM ALL OTHERS

I know your hair is a different texture unlike your big sister by Tamar
Your hair is just as beautiful by far

Society has trained us NOT to like who we are, where we come from and what we look like that is what we call in the eye of man
Mommy and God is here on YOUR BEHALF to ADVOCATE your beauty and for YOU all of YOUR LIFE to be in your corner and with you, TAKE A STAND!

In this book are pictures of ethnicity's of many
When we get to YOURS, you will notice there are distinctions in beauty AAAAAAAHHHHH we have plenty

On this JOURNEY I am elated with me, you choose to go
When you feel down and out because of the texture and length of your hair do know this ONE THING, when GOD made you He Said, "ELIZABETH R." You are BEAUTIFUL, INTELLIGENT, KIND, PATIENT, and MUCH MORE and so with these FACTS, that is ALL YOU NEED TO STAND ON TO GO THROUGH ANY DOOR!!!

Ok, let's travel in this book made for you from the heart, and soul of your mommy

My prayer is that you will SOMEDAY understand that YOUR BEAUTY REALLY IS SKIN DEEP!

It is within YOUR powerful race that there are a plethora of hues, shapes, hair textures, physiques, the whole bit
Mommy wants you to be proud of who and what GOD has strategically formed and NOTHING LESS but EVERYTHING MORE and GREATNESS will INDEED come of it

Beauty si in the SEEDS U plant and with those SEEDS I pray you will plant: LOVE, KINDNESS, GRACE, LONG SUFFERING, MEEKNESS, YA KNOW CARRY THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

You WILL walk in the midst of giants and peasants but in each arena, YOU HAVE GREAT CONTRIBUTIONS AND SO DO THEY
Listen to the UNSPOKEN
Acknowledge the UNSEEN

ONE DAY MY EYSE HAPPENED TO THE SKY

AND I SAW THE LOVE OF MY LIFE; A RAINBOW

THE ONLY TIME THEY COME OUT IS AFTER THR RAIN!

Walking....

I heard that walking was good exercise

But who would’ve imagined that walking these paths of what lied ahead for me in emotional, intellectual disuges

The walk people CHOSE to take with me upon this life’s journey to make sure that I could be what I wanted to be

The walk people CHOSE to take with me drew me closer to them BUT MORESO CLOSER TO THEE

As I saw this I envisioned us on this journey of life going to and fro

I bless God that it was you all who had the faith and planted those seeds into my life so through whatever, that God I am

Getting to NOW KNOW he is just good like that if you don’t know

If  you ALL DO NOTHING ELSE FOR ME, ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED ALONG THIS WALK OF LIFE GOD IS ABLE

I love huamity and thank all for choosing to exercise with me through faith, perserverance, love, happiness, and all that other mushy stuff.....THANKS FOR REACHING ACROSS THE EMPOWERING TABLE!

I THANK GOD DAILY NOT ONLY FOR NINE ELEVEN BUT FOR THE THREADS IN MY LIFE THAT HAS HELD ME TOGETHER, MY CIRCLE OF FRIENDS WHO ARE CONSTANTLY BY MY SIDE!

INTRODUCTION

Writings of  this magnitude couldn’t be the work of one person but a many have played major and minor roles in this birthing process.  True enough I lived the life and penned each heartfelt word, I am indebted to a plethora of people God placed along this my life’s journey that gave my life perspective and meaning.

There is one special lady who have helped me beyond words could NOT be penned.  She’s read, listened, suggested, ignored, and improved me and unconditionally loved me.  That nasty person that approached her and treated her the way God would NOT have approved to be perfectly honest.  It was our inopportune meeting and friendship was the reasoning behind the title of this book because it was through your love WHEN I NEEDED IT THE MOST, that God showed you within that it was something deeper and you CHOSE to stay around to enjoy my ripe fruit…..

Thanks!

I dedicate this book to a plethora of significant people of whom made deposits in my life either directly or indirectly.  This book have been coming to fruition for the past 12 years.  These poems, words of wisdom, words of wit, and words of inspiration goes out to each  of you who God used to get me to encourage and heal myself.

The (Title of This Book) is the words of conviction, change, restoration, healing,, acceptance, love, and growth.  I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO DEDICATE THIS BOOK to those single parents who are shining outwardly but broken inwardly.  We can fool those on the outside but we can’t fool this child of who witness us broken, torn, sorrowful, ashamed, hungry, hatred filled, you know the AUTHENTIC YOU!

To produce ripe fruit, deal with the root was conceived by hidden pain, hurt, disappointments, and confusion that I masked with over zealously helping others and serving others with a warm smile while crying profusely behind the smile.  I am a lover of people and service but didn’t have a full understanding of what the word love was.  I had a child and I couldn’t love him the way I was raised to understand love.  I was informed that love was provisional.  Things that one could provide and I didn’t have the means to “love” my child and I began to go into a rage because I was left alone to raise this male child that asked for nothing but the intangible love, the love you feel but not see.  I couldn’t grasp that but in all actuality, that was I too longed for, and since I wasn’t a recipient of it, I tucked my head and ran from the obvious and turned to the easy road…being abusive because that was what I was familiar with.  I didn’t want to be that way, but it was more comfortable because I had been rejected all of my life from my mom, the one person I sought approval from died and I never got it.  I grew up hearing that she hated her children, she didn’t want her children, she wished we were dead…ALL HURTFUL but when you look at her life, she didn’t have the opportunity to be a child, adolescent, and have her own self to possess her life’s compass…she grew up extremely fast and she didn’t have a father figure while growing up, she was the second eldest of four and she stepped into the mothering role and from that role she became a mother at the age of sixteen years old, I can see the resentment because you didn’t experience anyone catering to your needs and NOW you have to cater to someone needs, I went through a parenting class through the Department of Children and Family Services of which I would highly recommend for all hurting single mothers to go through because it provides clarity to why you feel, do, and say the things you do!  It forces you to deal with the root to produce ripe fruit!  God had used me through a plethora of things.  I had went through the wilderness long enough and it was going through my wilderness experience I found the authentic Marty of which might I add was liberating.  When you get to the point that you don’t care how people perceive you then your life is much freer.  You are who you are and ONLY you can be that person.  No matter how bad your life’s experiences, you have the choice to allow it to be a reality or put your abuse to good use.  God allow things to happen to you for MINISTRY and ministry alone.  I had to learn that everything HAS a purpose and Although I interntally and externally indured hardships, hurts, cuts, scars, and low self-esteem God had to show me that it wasn’t about me, it was about people who are and would be going through things and life’s circumstances for worse than mine and I was NOT supposed to keep my testimony to myself but share of HIS saving grace.  God is awesome.  There is a scripture that I would quote and NOT have full understanding of it and it goes like this:  “All things work together for the Good of them who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose!”

 I AM NOT, I WILL NOT, AND I SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED OF WHERE I HAVE COME FROM CAUSE IT IS THE REASON I AM IN MY RIGHT NOW SEASON!!!!

Thanks

DEDICATION

I dedicate this book to a plethora of significant people who made deposits in my life either directly or indirectly.  this book have been coming to fruition for the past five or so years.  these poems, words of wisdom and inspiration goes out to each of you who God used me to encourage and heal thyself.

The title of this book was birth through conviction, change, restoration, healing, acceptance and love.

I would also like to dedicate this book to all abusers and those who have overcame abuse! It is heart wrenching to confess that you have been abused emotionally, physically, sexually, and verbally. I really send the warmest regards to the perpetrators because the Word of God informs us in Romans 8:28 that We know that ALL things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. (NRSV)  I allowed you to have victory over my life NOW it is MY time to share my story so that all can be healed by my testimony.   I had a plethora of tests that I HAD to pass so that I can reach out to hurting children.  Title of this book, “To Produce Ripe Fruit Deal With the Root!” I began to enjoy nature and how things were made and inspiration came from writing through anything, anywords, any event….I was ALWAYS encouraged to encourage someone else.  I had a friend of mine that made me aware that GOD didn’t want me to share EVWERYTHING with EVERYONE because he was dealing with me but I didn’t want to look within me.  I have been a follower of the Oprah Winfrey Show since I was a lad and I bless God that I have had the honor of seeing her evolve into what she has become because NOW she gets it, its not about what others say about her but what she says about herself and for this I love me some Oprah Winfrey.

I have grown to love nature, and I found it thrilling that the Symbol for NO MORE storms would be the Rainbow.  I love the Palm Tree because no matter how turbulent the storms may be, it never loses its leaves or breaks; it may bend and sway but IT remains rooted and grounded.  my Palm and Rainbow are my personal promises God made unto me, he will never allow it to flood in my life which I interpret from I Corinthians 10: 13 that God will NOT put more on me than I can bear.

There have been a surmountable amount of people who have greatly and minusculey contributed to this whole woman I have evolved into.   Either directly or indirectly you have added and subtracted into my life and I pay homage to you on this page because it was our encounter that made the difference either if I liked it or disliked it, it was IT!  I would be NOT fair to mention my child who was the compass of this journey of dealing, mending, healing and passing on.  It was through a parenting class that was mandatory that I was forced to deal with those hidden demons.  I found it difficult to face but had to in order to deal and heal and produce ripe fruit ALL around me.

TO:  ELJ!  You’ve helped me beyond worlds could be penned:  You’ve read, listened, lovingly suggested, demonstrated, improved my life, and unconditionally loved when I was clueless on the word….I THOUGHT I KNEW BUT I DIDN’T KNOW IN TOTALITY UNTIL I MET YOU!  I was a NASTY person to you when we first met because  I didn’t know you, is it justifiable? HECK NO!  That NASTY person that approached you and treated you the way God would NOT have approved, to be perfectly honest was the birthing of the title of this book because the Love you Possess within realized it was something deeper and you chose to stick and stay and pray and continually love to enjoy THIS RIPE FRUIT! AND FOR THIS I THANK YOU!

TO:  New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church (Pastor Myron Taylor), Community Mission Church (Bishop Lemuel N. Moore), St. Paul Baptist Church (Rev. Dr. Obie Rush), First Bible Fellowship Apostolic Church (Dr. Levi King Sr.), Morning Star Missionary Baptist (Pastor Danny Hubbard), Mt. Sanai (Rev. Herman Watson), and Pilgrim Baptist ( Rev. Williams)!  I had to name these churches because it was these doors that I stood at and was never turned away for ANY reason.  Either if it was for food, keeping utilities on for my family, locating employment or THAT sermon dealing with THAT issue, or THAT speaker invited to your place of worship ministering to THAT dying place in my life…..I WAS NEVER REJECTED AND FOR THAT I PAY HOMAGE TO EACH OF YOU!  I

Bless God for each of your ministries.  I bless God that if and when I had a need, you never said either “you’re not on roll as a parishioner” or “you’ve not been faithful to this ministry” but instead your doors were and are continually open.

TO:  ALL of my educators, especially KJM, EDCS, DDCW, AMC, EAC, AND ALL THE OTHERS, AWM, BDP, MD, CE, CJN, DCK, LEL, PRM, EBM, EC, CW, MM, Dr. S.,  CR, GP, AL, EL!  You’ve taught me that education REALLY happens beyond the classroom walls.  It’s choosing to see perseverance; dedication, optimism, victory, and making it come to surface.  You all and others that I did NOT name have taught me things that I could have never learned in a book.  You taught me the importance of survival, and how to thrive.

TO: MR TTR, MASTER BDP, MISS TCR my IMMEDIATE FAM!  You see me when the world doesn’t and it’s that image that I at times don’t want to be with me but you stay, and teach me what continuity and unconditional REALLY is all about.  There have been a number of transitions and inconsistencies in my life and I bless God you stayed until I carved OUT my authentic destiny.  This has indeed been a roller coaster but I must say looking back on it, we’ve had more ups on this ride than downs…..YOU SEE HUN WHY I HAD SOOOOO MANY PENS IN THE BED????(SMILE!)  NEVER KNEW WHEN WORDS IN INSPIRATION WOULD COME!

TO: MOM & POPS!  Mom, thanks for being a survival and sticking around to teach me the art of mothering, loving unconditionally, cooking, cleaning, etc.  Pops, thanks for hanging in there when you could have fled the coop but you stuck around did your thing and raised to powerful African American men who have made their mark on this world.  They are compassionate but fierce, they are intelligent but appear to be ignorant, they are sharp men who exemplify manhood, fatherhood!  But out of the two, I chose the BEST MAN for my husband and father for my children. 

TO: MY SIBLINGS!  I bless God for the unity, growth, healing, acceptance, tolerance, rejection, and love we choose to show no matter what!

IN MEMORY OF:  MLBC, AMCW, MSWMW, GJW, DCW, RW, JNM, WAB, and all others who have gone on before but have shaped me into the woman I am becoming!

A Foundation

Have you noticed that the Word Foundation begins with the word Found

Have anyone told you that since you have entered their lives, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND?

A foundation is the source of which greatness stands

I am honored to know that it is you who ministered to those dying places and are the reason I can confidently stand

I thank you for serving humanity and choosing to reach lives from 1-92

I thank you for allowingyou radiance to glow beyond the dark clouds and beyond the educational institutions and happily is how you chose to do that which you effectively, lovingly, and witingly, and compassionately did what you do

Thanks for allowing me to stand at your door/desk and breath that serene breadth of fresh air so that I can get back into life's game

Thaks for bending down and forever touching this life and reassuring THIS ONE  that she had what it took to be her best and demanding it from me and it was that vision foreve etched in my heart, mind, soul, and life that I am confident that is the reason my life shall NEVER be the same

Thanks for teaching pupils and parents the right and wrong way of doing thinks and in turn teaching them how to effectively survie, be resilient and thrive

As a former/naaaaa FOREVER Educator, mender, healer, of mine; your messages seemingly went into one ear and out the other BUT really, IT DIDN'T, IT echoed beyond the classroom walls into the environment, and my family and friends...you yet daily reassured pupils and parents that they have the power to stand against whatever might attack but it takes a process to get them to where they should go, and with this knowledge and reassurance, they will become eager to come back and just lookupon your statue or just to say, 'THANK YOU!"  BECVAUSE THEY NOW UNDERSTAND THAT THEY POSSESS EVERYTHING THEY NEEDED, IT WAS JUST LAYING DORMANT DEEP DOWN INSIDE!

I commend you greatly, your love of teaching, reaching, healing, mending, serving, and your overalll dedication to all of humanity and as a mentor of mine and as I am finding my rightful place in life; I shall alwasy know where my foundatin is/was laid for the woman I am becoming and I am elated to mention your name

Either for a reason, seas, LIFETIME....GOD saw fit for our paths to cross

You have shaped people's lives and for this I bow in humble submission with great appreciation, admiration, no matter the cost!

Yes you have helped somebody as you have passed along

Yes you have cheered somebody with a word or a song, and

Yes you have shown somebody when she/he was traveling wrong...NO, YOUR LIVING HAS NOT BEEN IN VAIN!

To: Survivors!

THIS IS JUST A LETTER OF APPRECIATION, CELEBRATION, DEDICATION, AND LIBERATION!

LOOK BACK OVER YOUR LIFE AND SEE HOW FAR GOD HAS BROUGHT YOU, EDUCATIONALLY, SPIRITUALLY, EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY, FINANCIALLY, AND THE OTHER LEES!!!!

I PRAY THAT YOU WALK INTO YOUR BATTLES, STORMS, AND UNCERTAINTIES WITH THE EXPECTATION OF VICTORY WITH YOUR HEAD HELD HIGHT; BECAUSE….DEFEAT????? YOU ARE INDEED AN HEIR OF THE MOST HIGH AND THAT WORD IS NOT IN YOUR VOCABULARY AND TO EVEN ENTERTAIN IT IS ABSURD!

I PRAY….

IT’S THERE….

THE WEEDS OF LIFE, THEY’RE THERE, BUT YOU HAVE THE CHOICE TO PLUCK THEM OR ENJOY THE FRACT THAT THROUGH FAITH THAT BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS ARE IN THE MAKING OR EVEN SURROUNDING THEM

THE RAIN THAT COME SIN ONE’S LIFE IS INDEED INEVITABLE, THEY’RE GOING TO COME AND IT’S THERE, BUT YOU HAVE THE CHOICE TO ALLOW THE RAIN TO ASSIT YOU IN GROWTH OR DROWN YOU

THE CLOUDS SHALL APPEAR, BUT YOU HAVE THE CHOICE TO ACCEPT THEM WHJEN  THEY COME WITH THE REALIZAITNON THAT THE SUN IS ON THE OTHER SIDE PREPAREING ON YOU’RE YOUR BEHALF TO SHINE LIKE NEVER BEFORE OR ONE CAN BEGIN WORRYING OR GO INTO DEPRESSION…

WHATEVER LIFE THROWS YOU, OR WHATEVER SEASON COMES YOUR WAY DO KNOW IT’S THERE ALRADY AND IT SHALL COME BUT THE POWER OF IT ALL IS THAT YO HAVE A CHOICE

I LEARNED THIS VALUBLE LESSON FROM PEOPLE WHILE GOING THROUGH MY SEASON OF LIFE, I CAN ALLOW THINGS TO MAKE ME OR BREAK ME OR I CAN CHOOSE TO BE MADE STRONGER, VIBRANT, HEALTHY, AND WISE

YOUR PEACE IS THERE

Treasure Box

WHEN YOU SEE A WOODEN BOX, DO YOU THINK OF: CUTTING DOWN, ATTENTION, TIME, STORMS, CULTIVATING, PLANTING, SEEDS, WATERING, LOVE, BEAUTIFICATION, AGRICULTURE, GROWTH, WEATHER, WAITING, THE FOUR SEASONS???

Well I would like to tell you about a………

TREASURE BOX

Once upon a time there lived a cultivator who possessed some powerful seeds

The lady farmer planted seeds but had no idea what the outcome of her planting would be

She planted seeds and she relied heavily upon her faith

She hoped for but couldn’t see what the outcome of her planting would be on that cultivating day

The seeds were watered, nurtured, loved, and prayed, over, tears shed in prayer, and the whole bit

The seeds this cultivator planted began to sprout up something but the farmer lady wasn’t sure what might come of it

The thoughts we are sure in YOUR quest what was to come of YOUR steadfastness in planting were, was it going to be delivered? What is really going on? Was it going to be whole? Was it going to be set free? Am I doing what I am called to do?  What? What?

YOU chose to remain steadfast and chose not to stop YOUR fasting, praying, and faith the cultivator declared, I refuse by the grace of God to give up!

The seeds grew into a tree and the tree looked like all other trees but the famer lady realized that some trees had been scarred, cut, bruised, just NOT taken care of like the MASTER for it would

So the famer lady said, “AAAAAAAHHHHH” I know what is lacking, the son, light and love!

I can go above and beyond my job description and provide that genuinely because God gifted me with that from above

The farmer lady loved the tree with its many cuts, hurts, bruises, flaws and all

She even stayed around to catch the trees before THEY began to fall

The tree was plucked up and carved into a wonderful box of wood

Now I have a much more clearer vision exclaimed the cultivator, I know the tree would one day realize what I saw….it didn’t have to continue to sing songs of impossibilities, and blues but with a little guidance and unconditional love change their tunes to would and could

The treasure box are those BROKEN students and families; past, present and future; they have the power after and before being under your tutelage to open up and allow what goes on inside of them to see

Thanks FARMER LADY or cultivators for loving HUMANITY and cherishing people and for this PEOPLE will be eternally grateful throught all of eternity!

The Cycle of a Butterfly

Butterflies are what they should be at cycle number four;

They begin as a seed and grow into a caterpillar, which is not pleasant to some with that “HUMANISTIC” eye

Through its life cycle it indeed must go….the wonderful treat lies in the last cycle and it is THERE where the beauty is seen through the multiple colors, the lightness of their flight to the sky and the smoothness of its wings to the human eye….that’s what for us was in store

The next phase is when they begin to stick their heads from their cocoon

There are four seasons of life and in each; God prepares us for our hour of noon

During delivery, I am SURE you will be saying or thinking silently LORD I know I can take what YOU and I can handle or at times I have taken all that you can take

But either or, GOD will be there taking you through as this baby’s life cycle begins so that YOU and GOD can be all that YOU will be as GOD in the beginning did make

God will use this birthing process to provide you with the sunshine during your life’s rain

God will use those things to make you uncomfortable to strengthen you unbelievably so that you can inwardly along with outwardly smile again

God uses those things, circumstances, and people to push you gently from your cocoon; I don’t know particularly know when how, where, when or why

But do be COGNIZANT of this ONE THING; Gratefulness, Blessedness, Honoring and being Thrilled of those uncomfortable situations are JUST what you need to provide you with the wind beneath your wings so you could as high as you envisioned your families…FLY

I Am...

I AM

A SEED IS EXTREMELY POWERUL, IT POSSES THE CAPABILITIES OF PRODUCING GOOD OR BAD FRUIT BUT YOU CAN BET THIS ONE THING; IT SHALL INDEED BRING FORTH!  THE SEEDS OR INVESTMENTS A MOTHER PLANT WITHIN ARE ALL INNATE BUT IF THE MOTHER ISN'T EXPOSED IT IS DIFFICULT TO PLANT ON GOOD SOIL UNLESS YOU ARE AROUND POWERFUL CULTIVATORS. 

I AM THE MAN YOU WISH HAD COMPASSION, EMPATHY, AND MUCH INSIGHT

I WAS THE MALE CHILD WHOSE COVERING AND PROTECTOR WAS COLD, CALLUS, HEARTLESS, UNEDUCATED ORN CERTAIN ISSUES TO SHOW ME THE LIGHT

I AM THE NAM YOU WISH COULD WITH SYMPATHETIC EARS LISTEN

I WAS THE MALE CHILD WHEN EXPRESSING MY FEARS, JOYS, HOPES, AND DREAMS; I WAS TOLD TO SHUT UP AND GOOD RITTEN

I AM THE MAN WHO IS IN WHATEVER ASPECT OF LIFE; DISRESPECTFUL, COLD, AND TO THE UMMERMOST RUDE

I AM THE MALE CHILD WHOSE EMOTIONS WERE NOT REDIRECTED AND TO SOME EXTENT STIFLED, NOT EMBRACED, OR FOR THIS MATTER I WAS NEVER TOLD I COULD

I AM THE MAN WHOSE TEMPTER GOES OFF AND WILL BEAT WHATEVER COMES IN MY WAY, I AM THE ONE WHOSE HEART WAS FROMED AND SHAPED TO BE HEAVY AND NOT LOVING AND LIGHT

I WAS THE MALE CHILD WHEN CONFRONTED WITH UNLEARNED PEOPLE N HOW TO DEAL WITH "THEIR" EMOTIONS WAS SLAPPED AROUND MORNING, NOONDAY, AND NIGHT

I AM THE MAN THE WORLD DOESN'T WAWN T TO SEE COME THEIR WAY

I WAS THE MALE CHILD YOU SHAPED AND MOLDED INTO THE EMOTIONALESS, RESENTLFUL, AND HATRED FILLED MAN YOU CREATED THIS VERY DAY!

I wrote this  poem depicting the our strained relationship and how change became about...FOR THE GOOD THAT IS!
