Connect & Converse With The Sisterhood

Why am I always late?...from Let's Talk About Pep by Pepa from Salt and Pepa.

Being a member of Christian Love Baptist church where Pastor Ron is the pastor in Irvington, NJ; has made me want to share my testimony in bits and pieces cause I am deathly shy. People automatically assume differently about me but as my pastor often says; they don't know my story, they just see my glory. I'm not even going to lie...I'm only on page 5 of Pepa's book. In fact, I just bought it today after I heard her on the Wendy Williams Show. I don't watch tv or listen to the radio so I'm often out of the loop only going from home to work or church or church-related events or the mall and ironically I just happen to be in the car on the way to mall today and the radio was on...so u know I had to make a beeline to the Barnes and Noble bookstore where I had actually just purchased another Faith Evans book last night.

Anyway I guess the moral of this story is that I would often hear complaints from a person who was once a part of my life about why I was always late. I really couldn't give an answer and the question just became so annoying to me that I would be so hurt and offended when this person asked me this same question for the one millionth time. I would black out and curse them out but I could never give them a valid and true answer but now I can.

Now I can tell that person if ever they become a part of my life again..."I am always late because I was molested as a young child and being late is one of the only ways I can feel like I have some sort of control or power in my life."


So what do you think? Please go get this book...it is a must read even if only for it's prologue.

That took courage to tell and I thank God for what he is doing in your life. He has allow you to open up and share and give someone else the wisdom and confidence to do the same. God is good! Funny, I never thought to ask you why you were late, just always glad to see you.
