Our Out & About Team was blessed to go to The Stellar Awards again this year with donations from our family and friends and yes… we got the hook up! We had Buddy passes on the airplane for five people. See now, I never had Buddy passes, I thought we had the hook up what we got was the Standby, The Standby; another plane leaves without us and The Standby. We made it out of Philadelphia but got stuck in North Carolina on the Standby. We were scheduled to be in Nashville by 2pm and it was already 11am, and we were on Standby again; so Juan, Erica, Mark, Derrick and I gathered together in a circle to pray. As Erica led us in prayer we thanked God for his blessings and told him that we knew that he could do all things, and thanked him for what he was going to do, and the journey that we were on. While we were praying, God strategically placed three of his Angels here on Earth, to watch and touch and agree with us. Once we finished praying a Woman with the Heart of God, Ms. LaVon approached us and said that she saw us praying and she was going to the Stellar’s too. She said that we ought to come with her because the next plane that we could probably get on would be at 8pm. We listened and followed Ms. LaVon, Pastor Q, and Ms. Sheryl (who happened to work for the airline) to a jet that was waiting to take off to Huntsville Alabama.That’s right a Jet! I had never been on a Jet before and was excited. We are getting on a Jet Yawl! Okay, back to my story…after the ride on the Jet, we would drive with our group of friends, we just met in a made for the Stars Excursion to Nashville TN for the next hour and a half. Of course along the way we swapped stories about God, Life, Food, why we were going to the Stellar’s, and family. Once we got to Nashville everyone checked into their hotels and went to work. Over the next two days Ms. LaVon would contact us to make sure we were alright and let us know what was going on. She knew practically everyone there. Pastor Q is a Pastor and recording artist so he was busy with meetings and Ms. Sheryl came out just to have fun and visit friends. We said our see you laters and went Out And About to begin our interviews and fun filming. So… I didn’t tell you this part of the story; we were running low on money. I was promised some money from a job that I was waiting to get and it didn’t come through so once again I prayed and I didn’t ask for the money that I was owed but for God to provide what we needed to make it through our trip, for the five of us to eat, drive to where we needed to do more filming with gas and for the car. I was sure that the money I was owed would be given to me as promised, it wasn’t but that was just another opportunity to watch God work. First our Aunt Sandy made calls here in Philadelphia and money grammed us money which got us through the next day. Praise God! Then it was check out time and we were on the way to the airport. Well guess what we were on Standby again at 5:30pm in the evening but guess who God placed in the airport who had changed her flight to go home earlier. That’s right, Ms. LaVon and Ms. Sheryl. They did everything they could to try and get us on their flight and on the last two flights out of Nashville but it wasn’t going to happen. We would have to stay another day and we were out of money and we waved goodbye to Ms. Lavon and Ms. Cheryl thanking them for their help. Ms. LaVon called me over to her gave me a big hug, told me she loved me, and then placed money in my hand… and walked away. I stood there in silence crying, she pointed to the Heavens and said “That’s God”. I praised God and blew her a kiss. The next flight would be at 5:30am the next day, so we rented a room with the money she gave us and had our first night of peace and rest. All of that Standing By… little did we know that we were on Standby just to Watch God Work!
