January 15 use to be an exciting day for me, but in April 2011 something changed me... I was praying to God asking him to reveal the things to me that I needed to change or let go in my life so that I could be closer to him... I had a dream one night in April that I was holding my AKA key chain and it fell out of my hand, as it hit the floor it broke in half, the pink broke away from the green and the AKA ... broke off... It took me two weeks to be obedient because I was scared of what people would think, but I finally began my process off denouncing my membership... I told the AKAs about my decision and some supported me but to my surprise some had already did the same thing... This was a big decision but it wasn't the only thing that I had to let go to be fully committed to Jesus and to be in his will...I had to let it go so that I could be closer to God... Many people think that these Sororities and Fraternities are harmless but I noticed the more I read my bible the more i...
I pledged Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated in Fall of 2006. As we went through a MIP (Member Intake Process) process, I can remember being in a dark room with lite candles. I can remember kneeling in front of a table with items on it. I remember repeating oaths and singing songs. I can remember thinking, "This is demonic" but I brushed the feelings off and counted it toward nerves. A year later I remember someone saying that AKA and other Greek organizations were of the devil. I stood strong on what I knew and said it was a lie. I said, we pray and mention the name of Jesus in oaths so that's not true. Almost a year later from that time, my LS called me and said, "Did we sell our souls to the devil?" She stated that she read some things online and saw a YouTube video that talked about Greek symbols and how the Greek organizations are a trick of the devil. In the YouTube video it talked about Greeks and Idol worship. I told her I heard the same thing and I...
Often times in situations such as disagreement/arguments or when things didn’t go my way in the pass I would play the victim. I would automatically get in my feelings, get an attitude and choose to respond to the situation as if everyone was out to get me. Often times I would rehearse in my head how I would respond to that person the next time we would speak. Or I would dwell on whatever didn’t go my way and go around with my lips poked out and had an attitude with everyone. Lately, God has brought this to my attention. Basically he told me,”STOP PLAYING THE VICTIM!!!” It so easy to throw myself Pity Party and of course I was VIP. I never looked at the situation from the other person’s point of view and most importantly I never looked at the situation from God’s point of view. When I started looking at the situation from the other person point of view I notice that I looked at the person and their background. I also ask myself, “Is there something I’m doing or how I’m responding that ...
