IT'S JUST A TEST

Welcome back again! How's everyone doing this morning/afternoon? Hope everyone is well! I am back with another blog, but this time it's different. I usually make one every week, but I didn't want to a make this blog for next week; instead I decided to do this one for this week. I will be actually doing another one on Saturday, so make sure your on a look out for that one. It will be another sermonette that I did.

As you can see in the title, I will be talking about a test that I had to go through this past weekend. There were actually two tests, and I might even talk about the other one that I had to go though, but I know I'll be talking about one. This past weekend I preached on Friday and on Sunday. Last week I had a cold, because of allergies. I was feeling so bad and coughing so much, Mariyah had to help me get around.

Both of my God sisters told me about some medicine that our Uncle T makes for his kids. I was happy when we got to Columbus to pick up his kids, because I knew he was going to make me some. So I'd asked if he can make me some and he said, "Yes, I'll make you some when I get back." During that time, I asked my cousins was it any good or was it nasty. They said, "It's not that bad, it's just sting because it's hot. But you'll need to drink some water afterwards." My face looked so disturbed, because I don't even like taking cough medicine in gerneal, so I didn't know how to feel about it.

He comes back home to make and he calls me down to take it. I watched him as he made it and he sure enough made sure he used a lot of lime. So, when it was ready for me to drink it, he puts it in a shot glass, because that's how much it was. Once, he puts it in a shot glass, he says, "You may not like it, but it'll help you with the cough." After he says that, I told the kids that I'm about to drink the medicine. When they all come down, Xyon says, "Wait, let me record so I can get her reaction." As, she was trying to get her camera fixed, I'd looked at it and it looked nasty.

Next thing you know, I have this medicine in my hand about to take it as Xyon is recording. When I tell y'all, it took me about atleast 5-10 mintues to take it. My God mom and the kids were like, "Just don't think about and plug your nose and drink it fast." At first, Riyah was plugging my nose for me, but I'd told her to stop because I coudn't drink it right. Well, after those mintues passed, I'd finally did it fast. Now, at first I didn't taste the sourness of the lemon, BUT OHHHH!!! I knew it was going to come, and it did. I was laughing and coughing at the same time, saying." What is that?"

The test came when I'd posted it on my facebook story, which I didn't think anything of it, but someone misunderstood the video. Now, I didn't know how they did that because it did say, "It was medicine." I guess they thought I was lying, so they told my mom. Long story short, I got in trouble and was mad at my mom. I hate being in trouble, and so I was crying so bad; Asking God why is this happening to me, if I only took some medicine that helped me. I was so mad that it got to a point I wanted to stop praise dancing and preaching too. I told everyone that's close to me and not one of them said, "Okay, do what you feel is best for you." They simple said, "You're not quitting."

Well, I believe God sent my GYG (God Young Grandma) to tell me, "It was just a test." Now, I'm thinking on how it could be a test, if I only took medicine, but she remind me that, "If the devil can't get to me, he'll get to my family." So, he tested me and sure enough, it didn't work. Mind you, I did say I preached on Friday. Guess what the title was? It was, "It Didn't Work As They Though It Would." So basically, the devil tried to test me on what I preach on so that I would give up, but I DIDN'T WORK! So, now I'm still dancing and preaching.

I say this to say, don't fall for the traps that the devil has for you. It's only a test! Just calm down and pray about it. It will come to pass! But, I did learn to not post some things on social media, because people take it the wrong way. I wasn't worried because I knew it was medicine, but people may not believe that, even if I said it was. It's okay though, it was just a test!

So, thank you for reading my blog! and thank you to those who encourage me and wrote me messages about the post. I love each and eveyone of you! But it's time for me to go now. I hope you enjoyed and got something out of this situation. I'll be back on Saturday and I hope you will too! Remember: The Word Is The Best Way To Get Through This Journey Called Life.
