Before you read these letters, I want you to know that I am very sincere about this ministry. No one is paying me to post this website and no one pays me to do radio spots every month. I was inspired by God to use my life as a testimony to help others. I do not wish to be lifted or exalted by anyone. Though I hold a license in evangelism, I do not wish to be addressed as an evangelist. My first name is fine. I do not believe in being exalted and glorified, but to all things I give God the glory! What I do pray is that this website, the radio broadcast, and any time I speak at church functions, etc. will be a blessing to you. I love to speak for God and I love to see others blessed by the Word of God. So, to those of you who question this website, question the radio broadcast, or question the purpose of this ministry, take those questions to the altar and let God speak to you. Then, go home, look in the mirror and look at yourself and make sure you know what your purpose is. God Bless You.

Dear Angela:
I am a female and I have been called to preach, but no one really accepts it. I have heard you preach before and you seem so confident although I know you don't like titles. Can you tell me how do you deal with people not wanting to accept you as an evangelist? I really just want to step out, but I am afraid of all of the hoopla. A Sister in Need, Jackson, MS
Dear Sister in Need:
First of all, thanks be to God that you have actually heard me minister
before. So many people have not. First things, first. You cannot
worry about being "accepted" by people. There is only one person
that needs to "accept" you and that is God. If you know what
your calling is and it is to minister unto God's people, well then
just do it. That's what I do. You're right - I do not like titles mainly
because they mean nothing. I don't have to be reverenced. I am
human and I make mistakes just like everyone else. I am no better than the next person, but I do know
right from wrong. If I feel that anything that I have gone through can help the next person get through
their storm, I am all for sharing and offering Godly advice. Many people do not understand why I
don't like being called "evangelist." I guess because we are all supposed to be "evangelists." Everyone has a story and a testimony. Maybe if we shared with each other and helped one another more, we would not be so judgemental. You fear being judged by the people around you. God has not given you the spirit of fear, Sister. God is love. Remember that the next time you get an urge to preach. I used to get insulted when people said - "I'm coming to hear you speak." Well, speak, preach, call it what you want... at the end of the day, you're the one who has to be sure of what God has called you to do.
So, be bold, my Sister. Preach boldly and let God use you. May God keep you.

Dear Angela:
Marriage ain't all that it's cracked up to be. Every single day of my life, I get more discouraged about ever finding a mate and having a happy ending. The world is a big ol' evil place filled with evil people. Who do I trust? Discouraged and Single, Petal, MS
Dear Discouraged and Single:
This is probably one of the shortest answers I will ever give. Your last statement
was "Who do I trust?" You should always trust God. Trust God to bless you
with a mate. Put it in His Hands and stop worrying about it. The minute you do
that, your blessing will come. Trust God and lean not to your own understanding.
Acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path. A-men and so be it.

Dear Angela:
I have a friend that knows you and she said that you have had some unpleasant experiences here lately that have caused some havoc in your career. I will not go into details for the sake of privacy, but what can you tell me about having self control when dealing with co-workers and people that you do business with? I cannot imagine you losing your cool, but I've been told that you came pretty close. What is your secret to working with difficult people under that kind of pressure? Curious in Gulfport, MS
Hello Curious:
The truth of the matter is that I do lose my cool, but never in public. Apparently, someone who I trusted has breached my confidence if you have this much information. I do appreciate your discreetness in your question. That means a lot. To answer your question, I have found that releasing anger is probably the best thing anyone could do, but you must be mindful of HOW you release it. Talk to God about it, talk to a friend, but do not appease the person who has made you angry.
Sometimes, people do not know how to interact with others and they allow stupid things to roll off their tongues. I say to those people... get a life and stop worrying about mine. If you have an issue with interpersonal relationships or even interacting with people of different cultures, go to Barnes and Noble and buy a self-help book because the world is very different now. Those who were once superior are no longer. Yes... it is hard to co-exist with people who treat you indifferently for unforeseen reasons, but because I know that I am a child of the Most High God, it really does not matter what they think. This is the Word that I try to live by in my strengths and in my weaknesses. When I am weak, God makes me strong. Even though I may "lose my cool" in private, I am always a lady in public.
In His Love and Praising His Name Always...
