Confession 001

Confession: I didn't grow up poor, i didn't grow up rich but these last 3 years I have definitely learned want I need, what I don't need, how to live without, definition of real friendships,seasonal friendships ,who will support, who will say they will support, who will pray who will say the will pray and how to totally depend on God for everything. This next season, you will see change, those who have been there will BE there and those who disappeared will remain invisible. Me? I'm going to be fine, I have been fine, people's positions have switched and been switched out, I'm grateful to Christ for this time. Let it be known now, I'm coming out stronger, my yes will mean yes and my no will mean no for within these last few years, establishment has made a home on my doorstep, welcome home.

Never dreamed until now....

I was never taught to dream. I always knew dreams to be something that occurred at night in an unconscious state. The "you can be anything you want" dream statements was never spoken in my presence until my father uttered the words in a past tense fashion. The first time I can recall hearing those words was after we realized I might not graduate from high school. Not because I wasn't smart but more because I had no discipline. If I applied myself......
Having a father daughter talk in my high school parking lot and later potentially my early 20's after my second abortion were the only times I heard those words. Then my 3rd time, 1 year ago. Im 32 now.
If they always knew I could be something did it really even matter if they never said it to me? I am getting too familiar with the terminology "after the fact"

Now here I am serving the true and living God, my Abba Father and he is saying to dream, dream so that he can breathe on them and give me the desires of my heart which are somehow tied into his purpose.

I am inspired to write this now because I currently got into an argument with my mother whom I live with at the moment because life has dealt me a hand that only Christ can play. In a nut shell, I'm living my dream, I am starting businesses that God has birthed on our family bloodline but because she may have never been taught how to dream or tap into that dimension of relationship with God, its either one of two things, either I'm speaking a foreign language and she doesn't know how to speak "Dream" or she is Thomas and wont believe it until she sees it. To cut this short, regardless, Im going to run till I finish.


I'll see you at the Finish line.

We are THE CHURCH

Church Members Mistreat Homeless Man in Church Unaware It Is Their Pastor in Disguise
Pastor Jeremiah Steepek transformed himself into a homeless person and went to the 10,000 member church that he was to be introduced as the head pastor at that morning.

He walked around his soon to be church for 30 minutes while it was filling with people for service, only 3 people out of the 7-10,000 people said hello to him.

He asked people for change to buy food – no one in the church gave him change.

He went into the sanctuary to sit down in the front of the church and was asked by the ushers if he would please sit in the back.

He greeted people to be greeted back with stares and dirty looks, with people looking down on him and judging him.

As he sat in the back of the church, he listened to the church announcements and such.

When all that was done, the elders went up and were excited to introduce the new pastor of the church to the congregation.

“We would like to introduce to you Pastor Jeremiah Steepek.” The congregation looked around clapping with joy and anticipation.

The homeless man sitting in the back stood up and started walking down the aisle. The clapping stopped with all eyes on him.



He walked up the altar and took the microphone from the elders (who were in on this) and paused for a moment then he recited,

“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

‘The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

After he recited this, he looked towards the congregation and told them all what he had experienced that morning. Many began to cry and many heads were bowed in shame.

He then said, “Today I see a gathering of people, not a church of Jesus Christ. The world has enough people, but not enough disciples. When will YOU decide to become disciples?”

He then dismissed service until next week.

Following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ should be more than just talk. It ought to be a lifestyle that others around you can love about you and share in.

Latham Family Reunion

It was completely surreal to meet my father's side of the family. He is my cousin Robert repping that wack school up north talking madd trash!

Hot Times Festival in Columbus Ohio

Who says being a Christian is boring. It's all about who hang with and knowing what there is to do. Be in the world but in of the world and always take some accountability partners with you for covering. :)

Complete or Compliment

Should someone else complete you (mate wise) or should someone else compliment you? When God presented Eve to Adam, Adam said to God, "It is good" not "Now I am complete". I would suppose that Adam felt as if Eve complimented what God had already created i.e. "him". I believe that GOD'S work was completed when him gave her to him since he said it is not good for man to be alone, but Adam alone, was a finished person. He gave a completed creation to a completed creation. I say all this to say, lets not look for in a mate to complete us but to compliment us. God completed his work in your conception and birth. He just continues to add daily upgrades "if you allow him". Don't look for your potential mate to do what God has already done or else you spit in God's face saying what he has created is not enough. Don't make your interest (mate) your god, make God your interest. That's too much power for one person to have. Remember, He finished it before you both got started. #trusthim #agape

Catch Up Time

Do What you were Created to do!

Have you ever been asked, "How long have you been in ministry?"

Taking it to the Streetz

Obedience is better than Sacrifice

Within the last 3 years, Ireland, Charlotte North Carolina, Savannah and Atlanta Georgia, St Louis Missouri presented Job opportunities, car provision, housing, travel, friends, family, love, relationships and even 2 different desired marriage proposals, all desired opportunities. Columbus Ohio? A continual strengthen relationship with Christ, Rebuilt relationships with family members, a growing understanding of self-worth, a church home that talks and walks the fight for Kingdom of God according to the Gospel, balance and more. Although my desire is to travel and operate outside of my city, unless God gives a go, I'll say no. Besides, What profit a man to gain the whole wide world and lose his soul? He kept me and is keeping me, he is and has been my provider annnd much more. God is the only fisherman that can catch and release me. #christlyfe #notmyown #hiswill #obedienceisbetterthansacrifice #obediencebringseasetosacrifice

Be Encouraged

If there was one part of my body that you could grab which part would it be

Your hand:

If you needed someone to pull you along and encourage you I've got your hand

If you needed someone to hold you back when you're going too far I've got your hand

If you needed someone to lift you up when you have fallen I've got your hand

If you simply needed to know that someone was there I've got your hand

If I've got your hand, then I've got you

QUESTION: Have you ever.....

Have you ever had someone walk away from you after listening to what's been going on in your world and they said "I'll pray for you" but when you both departed, you had this gut feeling that that was just part of their cliché language and thought, "They're not going to pray for me" but knowing you actually really needed it. (flip the script) How many of us really followed through on the prayers we said we were going to pray for another? Lets go deeper, How many of us have left our brothers and sisters uncovered? #BodyofChrist

Checking in and much better

Day 3, It's all part of the PROCESS

Good Morning or should I say Afternoon...

Nothing you can't handle. God sent us a comforter at times like these.

I get lonely too, 3:30 am

Who said Christians never get lonely? That's the farthest thing from the truth. The thing is, we are not alone. It's not easy but we'll get through this together.

Operation Launch to ATL

It has been over 404 days since my last visit to Atlanta. Every time I take this journey God always has ministry to be accomplished along its path. I anticipate Gods hand on all my journeys out of town. I realized over a year ago, even my vacations, my get a-ways, ARE NOT ABOUT ME! But of course they're not, I am no longer my own. When you say yes to Christ, you give up your I's(dentity) and become who God created you to be,for his purpose. I embrace the missions, the ministry...HIM.

Dear Dreamer

Ever dealt with someone trying to constantly throw shade at your dreams, let this simple message encourage you to NEVER STOP DREAMING!!

Layers of ANGER

No one said being a Christian was easy. The Bible says "Be angry,but sin not" It's healthy to release your feelings and your emotions but it's unhealthy if you would act in a way in which it will not glorify God. Vent, but let God.

Growth means you have to DIE

A Birthday Resurrection!

I finally get to do my Facebook thank you to those who have currently made THIS birthday unforgettable, First I thank Christ for his birth,burial,and RESURRECTION! with out his existence I would remain a dead "man'' walking. I thank my Big Brother Kendal for getting the cake that set off my birthday weekend and not to mention us watching my #1 favorite movie of all times The Wiz while eating Resurrection Sunday dinner prepared my lovely sister IndiaKai. Off the chart love goes to Shavonna lil sister in Christ and Love for planning the most awesome surprise BirthDAY celebration this Saturday along with the awesome Jaikeyl and my awesome bestfriend and sister A Kidd (Ali) who treated me to lunch at ALADDINS EATERY in Bexley which launched this amazing day leading my into a surprise ice cream social where I was tapped on the shoulder greeted by the biggest hug and smile from my beautiful lil sister Barbara (My Bizzy Bee) and the stunningly handsome Mark (Markie)(who stayed long enough to give me a hug and a smile only to fade in the distance to let what was intended to be a day with the ladies commence once...) Brandie (Pom-Pom) Shavonna, and surprise guest Tiffany (Tiffy)-(all the way from Chicago I might add) came up from behind me with hugs and smiles. After chatting it up we took a brief break on behalf of Kingdom business to go support our Co-Pastor Shawn Branham as he ministered a powerful word at a men conference. After that I was asked if I was ready for a part 2, shocked, sure, I was whisked over to Applebees where Mark rejoined, the lovely Brittany Chaunte' graced us with her smile and sense of humor and my near dear friend Shanelle Hinkle-Moore blessed me with her presence, how great it was to catch up with her :) BUT it wasnt over, the final chapter involved the girls whisking me over to the bowling alley for a hilarious,trash talking,fun loving great time where India Kai met us and closed the most awesome, heart moving, humbling, outpouring,unforgettable ridiculous BEST BIRTHDAY of my life. Where I did nothing but be the birthday girl and just received from those who wanted to honor and LOVE me, it brings me to tears as I type,I'm Touched,I'm Blessed,I'm Grateful,for these ARE the friendships I use to lay on my mothers lap at the age of 13 crying tears for and she use to say,"It's ok, We will pray and ask God to send you some Godly friends" Well now I can look at my mother on this Resurrection day and say, "IT IS FINISHED" and look at Christ and say THANK YOU! and to all those on and off FB, Thank you for contributing to the NEW work that God has begun and doing in me. Stay forever BLESSED, Your Friend in and out of Christ, Kendra :) Big Hugs!

Christ is the Resurrection

I love this spoken word piece he does. Puts me in straight Resurrection Sunday mode. Be inspired!

Will Love Ever Happen for Me???

We as Christians can find ourselves getting distracted by this question. Sometimes we find ourselves getting tormented by the clock ticking. Here in this brief message you will find that the answer to that question is closer than you think. Now this is a Christ based message but since we all are Gods creations, I pray that this message pricks your hearts and breathes a refreshing perspective on your lives as well as enhance clarity on how to respond and adjust the your posture of the heart,mind and conduct. Be inspired! Stay Blessed

My Birthday hasn't been on Easter since I turned 13, I'm excited to see what Gods going to do this year. For the first time, I have not even attempted to make any plans let alone mention my birthday, actually, this is the first time on Facebook, haha, thats a record for me. The last two birthdays were cocoon busting, life altering,perception shifting and testimony building worthy. God allowed me to go back in time into dark places to confront demons of the past and submit deadly habits to the throne so that I could have a victorious spiritual future. I gave myself freedom last year and the year before that embraced the transition, so this year, I just desire to be resurrected with Christ. I want him to breathe on my spirit and whatever needs to awaken in me I ask my Father to it. I understand that I wasn't born for myself but created for Kingdom Use alone. So I desire for God to breathe on my spirit,clean my chamber, then ready aim and fire me towards the direction of anything that threatens his will being done in and on this earth,even if it is something in ME. Christ is my PASSION. I submit my acknowledgement of my birthday for a greater recognition on March 31ST, HIS BIRTH,HIS BURIAL AND HIS RESURRECTION. To God be ALL the GLORY! :)
