Greetings Everyone,
All honor and praise be to God! I know it's been a while but I ran into a couple of complications over the past few weeks. First, my MacBook decided to be a chameleon and act like a PC, so in the middle of trying to type up the SOD last week, my computer kept freezing and Safari kept shutting down "unexpectedly." Then, I caught a bug which cased my asthma to flareup severely, making my cough chronic and uncontrollable without the use of a prescription cough syrup, in conjunction with my inhalers, prednisone, and antibiotics. Then, as I was feeling well enough to type the SOD last night, I ran into another technical obstacle, my computer couldn't find my network. So, not only did you not receive the SOD, but I also failed at submitting proper class participation and my individual assignments for class 
But, I was talking to my Bestest, and he reminded me that all things happen for a reason. Honestly, the only thing I could think of is to stop procrastinating. Had I started my assignment when I was feeling well, perhaps I would've been able to submit it before my technical issues enhanced. The combination of technical problems and illness is not cool. Anyway, thanks for your concern and prayers rendered while I was under the weather. I am still claiming complete healing in the name of Jesus, and thank you in advance for doing the same. I know that we have approached the last few days in Black History Month, but I will continue where I left off, and today I will provide information on two unsung African Americans from history: Martin Robison Delaney (1812–1885) was an African American abolitionist, journalist, physician, and writer, arguably the first proponent of American Black nationalism. He was one of the first three blacks admitted to Harvard Medical School. He became the first African-American field officer in the United States Army during the American Civil War. Trained as an assistant and a physician, he treated patients during the cholera epidemics of 1833 and 1854 in Pittsburgh, when many doctors and residents fled the city. Rebecca J. Cole (1846–1922) was an American physician. In 1867, she became the second African American woman to become a doctor in the United States. In 1873, she opened a Women's Directory Center to provide medical and legal services to destitute women and children. Cole would make house calls to people in the poorest neighborhoods and would teach women about basic hygiene and childcare. Continue to keep one another in prayer, thanking God for the victory, and refraining from claiming defeat from the enemy; ALWAYS pray for your desired result, NOT the unfavorable outcome. Do NOT lose sight of God in the midst of adversity, God Bless!

Do NOT lose sight of God in the midst of adversity, God Bless!Passage Romans 6:6-7 (NLT):
"We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin."
I Chronicles 16:11-12 says, "Search for the LORD and for his strength; continually seek him. Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given." I deem this to be perfect scripture in lieu of our closing this series dedicated to Black History Month, and my recent obstacles. It's really easy for us to turn to others, or look to self when we are in need. It is easy for us to turn our backs on the Lord when things are not going the way that we would desire them to go. But you know what, I will guarantee that no matter what it is you are going through, IF you know the Lord, then you will find solace in remembering ALL the wonderful blessings HE has bestowed upon you. So the next time you sneeze, cough, or feel a pain, thank God that you still have the sensation of feeling. When your head is hurting, or your back is aching, thank the Lord for sight, hearing, and taste. And when you feel like you've reached your limit, praise the Lord for your support system here on Earth. And remember that if your "support" is no where to be found, know that GOD has a 24 hour hot line called PRAYER. "In ALL things GIVE THANKS! Remember the wonders HE has... GIVEN."
Prayer of the Day:
Father God we enter into your presence in thanksgiving, praising you for your grace, mercy, forgiveness, and everlasting love. We thank you that no weapon formed against us will ever prosper in the name of Jesus. Lord we thank you for the authority to claim and accept victory over the enemy and defeat over sin. We thank you for the ability in our own words to speak life into every situation, speaking prosperity, success, and positivity into existence. We use the power of our tongue to reverse all negativity we once spoke into our own lives, and we bind now the negativity spoken by others, and make their words ineffective against us in the matchless name of Jesus. We thank you for complete and speedy recovery for Tylesha. And Lord we thank you for your continued protection and mercy. This is our affirmation of faith in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
~~ Tylesha ~~
"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man." (Psalm 118:8)
