The Power of Your Bloodline


"For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption." (Romans 8:14-15). I am a creation of God, pressing forward in my capacity to live the abundant life. So I stand tall because I am a beloved child of God. "God, you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Your works are wonderful. I know that full well. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." (Psalms 139:13,14,16). There is great comfort to me in these verses because I am expecting a grandson any day now. My daughter plans to name him Samson. He will be a strong little boy. I love knowing that this little baby boy is extremely valuable to God, as well as he is to our whole family. On this Labor Day I am grateful for my bloodline because we are children of the Most High. My grandmother, my mother, myself, my daughters, and my granddaughters are all fulfilling our destinies. Now a boy is about to join this matriarchal society. It's about time! Eleven years ago, when Frank and I combined our families, he brought a boy into this family of girls, and now Frank thinks it is high time for another one to join us. Me too. I love the name they chose for him too. The biblical Samson had supernatural strength and toppled a building. I believe our Samson will also be a victor and leave his mark on this world in a wonderful way.

I wrote this blessing for my soon-to-be-born grandson in July in a facebook note:

"You are my unborn grandson.
I bought you a cute outfit of blue.
I've never had a boy before.
I feel blessed that you are coming out to
meet me in September.
I'll be there to welcome you.
I felt you kicking your momma yesterday
and know that you are a strong little boy.
No wonder your name is Samson."

I'm waiting excitedly for my grandson to be born. He will have the DNA of Almighty God and be a person of destiny according to Joel Osteen in BECOME A BETTER YOU. Our little bundle of joy will bring a little bit of heaven with him when he comes, and I can't wait to meet him.
