A few years after college I held down three jobs at once. I worked seven days a week, in which two of the days I pulled double shifts. I did that for a few years and fell in love and got married. It\u2019s almost nineteen years later and I\u2019m still working multiple jobs. Back then I did it to keep up with my love of shoes, clothes, belts, pocketbooks, and matching undergarments now I do it because working multiple jobs is necessary to keep the lights on and food on the table. Not to mention it\u2019s needed to keep my boys involved in extra circular activities and not in the street, jail, or worse. I\u2019ve often been called the Bionic Woman, but in my mind I\u2019m just doing what I\u2019m supposed to do or I\u2019m bat \ud83d\udca9 crazy! You take your pick but at the end of the day; I\u2019m just Whitnee\u2019! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above is a picture of what came in the mail this afternoon and after the day that was full of emotions, I truly needed to see and read that. D\u2019Etta is one of the angels God placed in my life. She is a woman of faith with many talents and her laugh, her love, her spirit, and just her in general will make you love her at first sight- she is contagious in the best way possible. Reading her note really made me slow down after cooking dinner to just think about her message. It was simple but full of wisdom and God allowed me to decipher the meaning of it in such a beautiful way! Be WILD for sharing God\u2019s Love. Here\u2019s the back story: D\u2019Etta came in on Wednesday and was dropping off donations to Dolly\u2019s House on her way to volunteer at Koinonia to a few hours. After I gave her a hug, I noticed her beautiful earrings. She had told me she got them off of Amazon, we had small talk, and then she was off and on her way. So today when I came home and had a package in the mail and saw it was the earrings I burst out into happy tears! I couldn\u2019t believe she actually remembered and took the time to order me a pair. That act of kindness reminded me so much of Willia Davis but for those of you who know D\u2019Etta you know her heart is just as big as my mom\u2019s! Always doing, thinking, breathing, praying and living for God. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living in survival mode teaches you a lot of things. It is not for the faint in heart; it teaches you grit. The most important thing it has taught me was to rely on God and trust Him with my whole heart. I\u2019ve always admitted that I used to read my Bible only when I was in a bind or felt like I \u201cneeded\u201d the Lord. Like some folks, it\u2019s like I put Him on the shelf until I needed Him. There was a time in my life where finances failed, my health was failing, my marriage was failing, my job was failing, everything was just going south. Truth be told that\u2019s when I found Jesus for myself in the most tangible way possible. I knew it was God who held my hand and got me out of the place I was in. A place where I felt like I drowning. While folks looked at me and thought I had it all together, they didn\u2019t know if it had not been for God, I don\u2019t know where I would have been. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have no super powers, I don\u2019t have good stamina, I\u2019m not very strong or durable and I don\u2019t have any artificial enhancements so there is nothing bionic about me. I am perfectly okay with that. But I worship a God who is strong, mighty, powerful, and so much more and I find strength in Him. I make it my point daily to try and send a word of encouragement, concern, love, or just a note to let folks know I\u2019m thinking about them. Being around folks like D\u2019Etta that are on \ud83d\udd25 for the Lord; makes you want to do and be more. She makes you want to BE WILD for sharing God\u2019s love! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In what ways are you wild for sharing God\u2019s love? <\/strong>I\u2019d love to hear from you in the comments section below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Briefly I would like to highlight a few ways I experienced people being WILD for sharing God\u2019s love while I was at church today: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
