As we acknowledge the death of the person we knew as Joela, we don’t really mourn the loss. The world really didn’t need one more person who was self centered, egotistical, depressed, lazy and allowed herself to be sick more than she was well. She carried around her migraines as if they were a Gucci Bag to establish her right to be mediocre. She lived her life as if there were no one in it but herself. She ate garbage whether it was food for the body or information for the mind.
The attention she craved was given to her when she behaved inappropriately, she was too self absorbed to even realize that it was not the kind of attention one should want, crave or receive.

Her death was a long process. In early 2002, her friend the Holy Spirit came up to her one day as she was deep, deep, deep in self destruction sin. He asked her, “Are you done yet?” Her response was a thoughtful and sincere, “Yes, yes I am.” She turned herself away from the sexual depravity and the party girl lifestyle. She still had a long way to go as she may have moved from the neighborhood but the inner house still needed to be exterminated to the very core of her person. She was infested with demons and didn’t even know it.
One day she called herself to a meeting with the Holy Spirit, she fired herself; put the Holy Spirit in as CEO of her life. She actually committed suicide right then and there. She killed herself saying she couldn’t live anymore being Joela. She couldn’t deal with the world looking at her and seeing her and not the loving God that lived in her.
Today we celebrate as the Holy Spirit has His way in her. Joela was reborn as the royal child of God, living the way that Christ died for. The heart that was selfish and self centered turned to live for others. Her motto became, “I am blessed, not just to say that I am blessed but to BE a Blessing!”
The depression and sickness became a healthy mind, body and soul that didn’t accept any other way of life. She has become a vessel for the Lord to fill up to overflowing. Her excitement for the Lord is extremely contagious for those that need to catch the Believer Bug of God. Spreading the Gospel as Jesus instructed. Holy Spirit we thank You for her new life in Christ. AMEN!!! A life to truly be remembered.
To God Be ALL the Glory, AMEN AMEN AMEN!
Until Next Time, God Bless!!
