Grand Mosque of Touba, Senegal

OMG!

Just a few moments ago, I was on facebook where I visited a page of

West Africa tours. The scenery, the people, and the sounds on

this video http://youtu.be/J3znLqnL-LU were the same while

en route to the guest house where I stayed in 2010!

This video is better than my video I posted earlier on this blog. Better yet,

you could say I gave you the up and close personal view!

***It's 2012, I just found out -- The département of Dakar is divided into four arrondissements: Almadies, Grand Dakar, Parcelles Assainies (which literally means "drained lots"; this is the most populous arrondissement of Dakar), and Plateau/Gorée (downtown Dakar). I was in Parcelles Assainies!

I've Been Told, Go To The White House!!!

One night I was watching TBN, a comedian, Michael Jr., came on talking about his mission in life. His life mission is to make people laugh by telling his experiences involving the church in his early days. I remember him saying, God has two names and his other name is 'Something!'

OMG, here I am thinking of my return to Dakar, Senegal to continue with my mission and renewing friendships. Then all of a sudden, 'Something' tells me to go to the White House and pray! I reason in my mind thinking, 'why doesn't TBN go?' An answer came to me on a particular night, TBN came on showing a rebroadcast of yesteryear when TBN did exactly that ... they went to the White House and prayed, shared testimonies, fellowshipped, etc!

Yes, I do talk to my Lord Jesus and told him, Lord you know I know nothing about Washington, DC, never been, no sense of direction, don't have any money to get there, etc.

Mind you now, I had not spoken to my cousin about 'Something' telling me to go to Washington. I received an email from her the next day after talking to My Lord. The email:

Fw: GASTON: Bus fare from Charlotte to D.C. for $1 - one company doing it ‏4/15/11 http://www.gastongazette.com/news/one-56734-bus-charlotte.html

As you can tell from the date of the Email, I have been thinking!!!! God is telling me something, yall!!! I must go and do his bidding, if I want to be Favored and Blessed for him to send me on my mission in Dakar.

TBN did it for a day and I shall follow same. I will pray and hope to walk around the circumference of The White House. With all my disabilities, I know my help will come from The Lord -- Faith, Trust, Belief-- it shall and must be done! Amen!!!

Stay tuned for announcement date here. God Loves You & So Do I!

Former Dallas alderman charged with taking indecent liberties with 4-year-old old, charged, taking - Gaston Gazette

February 7, 2011

I arrived at the City of Gastonia, NC transit station. Two guys were fighting, a little voice told me to Do Something because one or both could have seriously been injured. I heard myself call out to them to stop fighting, there is enough of us in prison...I repeated and the fight ceased. Each went in separate direction. The coming in my direction said, 'thank you Miss.'

Diane Is Raw In Africa Nov. 26 - Dec. 11, 2010

Have you been to Dakar, Senegal? Nov. 26, 2010
was my first visit ... I would do it again! You
see, I never meet a stranger and I am eager
to learn new things!
Upon arrival at the airport, one must claim
your baggage. This guy came up to help me
with my baggage...he caught me off guard...
he says to me, I can get you through customs.
He asked me to pay him for his help and
do not let anyone see me pay him. Like a dummy, I gave him $20 because I know how hard life in Africa. $20, one could live it up like a king for a few days. Yep, I got scammed! His friends did not see me pay him, so the ungrateful person asked for more money! I told him no and I should look for my friends -- Dandy & Emmy! That didn't work cause he and his friends began to follow me. It was dusk dark in the morning 5:50am, I barely could see and trying to find Dandy & Emmy among all the people trying to sell stuff ...mainly SMS cards...was impossible. My inner voice was telling me to yell out for them!LOL One guy said, Felicia....why is this guy saying her name through this fence? Aha, it's Dandy...a sigh of relief! Mind you, the guys' friends are close on my heels to get money. Once I reached Dandy, they began to haggle..when they found out that Dandy & Emmy were Nigerians, they backed off! There's something about being a Nigerian, makes one take notes! Upon entering the city, You will hear the sound system go off for everyone to hear that a visitor is coming and it welcomes You! How awesome! Dandy & Emmys' stories:

The Cat People
While visiting Goree Island, we ordered fried fish and ate outside. Coco, a shop owners, told me to give my fish head to the cat...without any questions, I did. Which brings me to tell you about The Cat People!
Long ago, the natives of Goree Island would go to the high priest to be turned into cats so they would not leave the island of No-Return to become slaves. Something happened to the high priest, so the people turned into cats, could not be retuned to people again!
They treat cats as if they were people!
The Goree Island resturant fried fish was great! They don't coat it with flour or cornmeal! Which brings to mind another story...
Mermaids!
Some believe to this day, mermaids exist! The story goes:
at night, the mermaids leave the ocean and is transformed into the most beautiful women in the world with a brick- house body. They meet men; if the man treats her with respect, he lives..if he doesn't, the mermaid kills him.
I missed two Kodak moments; I made some Jello and fed little kids and teens. Most arrange their food in a big bowl. Each person gathers around the bowl with fork or spoon in hand and dive in...this closeness keeps loved ones close. At any rate, I brought out the bowl of Jello and tried to give the kids spoons to eat; instead, they reached out their little hands...they love it and so did the staff! I asked one of the staff members to go with me on the beach to serve Jello. In the far background, the sea is a dark blue then gradually turns into a sea green. The sea gets lighter when it gets closer to the shore with frosty like peaks. We saw teens practicing football and called out to them to come. One came tried it and called to the others; they came. One ask, what is it good for? I told him, with that said, he replied, 'I'm going to be here at same time for more Jello!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There were guys walking the streets 7' and then some, I could not help but stare. One rented a guest house above me. Being so up close to one of these giant men, I had to ask, how tall are you? Wow! He, also, said he was from Sweden!



My African attire:

I'm so happy that I took a leap of faith and listen to the little
voice telling me to visit Dakar, Senegal!

To all my sisters, come, awaken from your slumber ! It is
time to connect and unite!

Our project to bridge the gap between the US and Senegal is 'A Taste Of Senegal' In which, we will rent booths at community events and display pure african products -- shea butter, Knwaa, African attire, and much more in the near future!

Come My Sisters & Slumber No More!

We've all have had struggles in life. I was disobedient the first time...not again!

God gave me a second chance in life! My doctor said, 'you're not suppose to be here,' and 'you cheated death!'

Last year, God placed it on my heart to go to Africa to aid the sick, the hungry, the homeless, and the motherless/fatherless. I didn't get to make it then and still pressing onward.

Since, I have tried many ways to complete my mission by joining humanitarian based programs which will be in place to build in Africa in the near future.

I can not do it alone; and come to you for your help, support, and donations to help our brothers, sisters, and children in Africa. My goal is $8,000 for a 30 stay in finding the right location. Once there, videos will be posted here.

Trip Total Cost .................$8,000

July 15, 2010

This morning, I picked-up my glasses and other errands. I stopped by a local spot where my friends gather... one ordered me a cup of coffee. It was great to see my friends; I rarely socialize these days!

Home Sweet Home! I put on my glasses, every thing was blurry...called the office to see if I got the correct glasses...I'm wearing my old pair!

The phone is ringing, Dallas-Mini-Mart, Dallas, NC wants to donate food and clothes for Africa, I believe the whole content of the store...how can I refuse anything for my brothers and sisters in West Africa or anywhere in the world? God Is Good!

Lord, I'm trying to raise funds to go to Africa...Not gather food and clothes! Ok Lord, you said you would not put on me more than I can bear! Ok Lord, I will ask DnV Drama Ministries to store the items and start dialing everyone to help in shipping cost...[7/15/2010 1:12:05 PM] Felicia: I was looking for prayers online and CBN has an affiliate church in Nigeria. I checked; they said, no; calling another church...call back Monday; United Way call back on the 19th!

Phone ringing, Firefighters asking for support! I began to tell him the event of my day and DnV and myself will have to do a lot of fish fries to ship to Africa...he says that he and his friends will be at the fish fry next week! Thank you God! And so we keep on moving!

Snap! This preacher on TBN is saying look to the sky..Thumbs-Up!

We wish to take this time to thank the angels of Dallas Mini Mart, Dallas, NC owner, Dave Vashi and his wife, who donated (3) three boxes of food to the Sisterhood Wombman Queendom for Africa!

John 20: 21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you; as
my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

October 11, 2010

Praise God for a most favorable phone conversation with Dr. Moses Nueman, Sr., http://www.worldcareministry.org/, sharing his knowledge, and works in Africa; a date was set to meet for lunch! Our lunch meeting was a success! I received an email inviting me to their 2010 Missions Leadership Conference at New Life Family Worship Center in Kings Mountain, NC. I attended the conference on Oct. 9th and it too was a success!

Dr. Moses Nueman, Sr. will leave for Nigeria on Oct. 24th. I will send the donated food with Dr. Nueman to Africa. God is good and make a way. The shipping cost just got reduced! Next on my agenda is funding the 30-day stay in Africa!


October 20, 2010

Giving Praise to my Creator; God is always on time! I'm making plans to visit Africa for two (2) weeks in November! I wish it could have been longer.

First Kings 3:5 In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solom in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.

It's amazing how one would meet someone and never to think you would see that person again. As it turns out, the universe and energy plays an important part, destiny has brought us together again -- Our Cause is of one and the same!

I'm so excited and here at the post office! Oh snap! You have to make an appointment to apply for a passport!

Ecclesiastes 11:6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold
not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or
that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

Nov. 6, 2010

Well, I've applied for my passport and looking for it to arrive in the mail any day now! I'll be leaving North Carolina somewhere between the Nov. 15th and Nov. 22nd!

I ordered a KodakZi8; it should arrive Tuesday!

Proverbs 31:14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

November 12, 2010

I have been blessed with
gifts this week: A letter from India, my passport, a necklace from
Nigeria, shots for travel, and a KodakZi8!

I must admit, when taking the required shots for travel abroad will make you sick! I dreamed about my cameras' memory card. I awoke looking for it! By golly, I found it! At least, I thought I did.lol Instead, it was a little adhesive square to be attached to something! The next best thing was to call Kodak to see if a memory card was included...it is not.lol

See what a shot can do to a dream!lol

Oh, I am blessed to have the following vid for you:

St. Mark 14:6 And Jesus said, Let her alone;
why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on
me.

November 25, 2010

Jerry Butler was right; he said, 'if you don't have your ticket in hand, you're not going anywhere!'

As it turns out, my date to visit Dakar, Senegal has changed. I will begin my journey Nov. 26 and arrive in Dakar Nov. 27.

Happy Thanksgiving!

St. Mark 14:7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye willye may do them good; 'but me ye have not always.

We can not do it alone; we come to you for your help, support, and donations to help our brothers, sisters, and children in Africa with our mission as we - 'Reach One; Teach One!'
