Today, I’m going to change up the topic of conversation a little. Today, I’m going to share with you one of the best days of my life, a day I’ll never forget.
It’s amazing how time flies. It seems like yesterday my husband and I were dating, praying on our next steps and preparing for our wedding. It seems like yesterday God called us to be together and we were both so nervous. It seems like yesterday we just started our family.
It seemed like yesterday I resolved in my mind I would fast, pray and not move until I knew for sure, 100%, that Richard was my husband. I sat on the floor in my bedroom at 3 a.m. and told God I was not getting up until He gave me a definitive answer, is Richard my husband, Yes or No? I knew with every fiber of my being I was connected to that man unlike anyone I’d ever been with, but, I needed to know for sure, I had made so many mistakes in the past, I didn’t trust myself.
So, I sat there for hours and God eventually showed up. Not only did He send a rushing sense of Peace into my room, but showed Himself in the miraculous. I saw God’s Glory in the biggest, most beautiful white light appear in my room, it was like I was scooped up into the heavens, I didn’t want to come down. Right then, I knew without a shadow of a doubt, that man was my husband and all I needed to do was be patient and exercise my faith.
God told me this well in advance before my husband knew, which was killer. I knew I was staring in the face of my husband, but He was still praying and seeking God for answers. From time to time over a period of seven months, he’d ask me, “has God spoken to you about me? Are you my wife? Yes or no?” I’d answer, “I can’t tell you that, only God can tell you that!” That right there was killer because I wanted to scream “Y-A-A-S-S-S, I’m you’re wife, now c’mon, let’s plan this wedding and get married already!!!” I had been single and waiting for a while, so I was ready, LOL!
One day, I was weary carrying that truth and I prayed one final pray. I said to The Lord, “Lord, it’s time. It’s time. No more riddles, no more games, no more holding this in. I’m asking that you release me and reveal your answers to him. I need him to know the truth now, my heart needs Him to know the truth. Let us move forward in You.” I prayed that prayer on October 26th, 2006, wrote it on a piece of paper, anointed and added it to my prayer jar.
On October 27th, the very next day, what seemed like eternity, everything came together in an blink of an eye, God answered my prayer immediately. While my best-friend and I we’re on the phone with Him acting silly, He said to me, “God told me who you are to me, You’re My Wife.”
My best-friend and I just broke out in a praise…snot, ugly face crying and laying prostrate, LOL! He wanted to talk with me further, but instead, my bestie had to tell him I’d call him back, “she’s worshiping right now,” she said, LMBO!!!
God is amazing. I’ll never truly fully understand why He orchestrated events how He did, but what I do know, His stamp of approval was on this relationship and no matter what opposite direction we both went from each other in the beginning, God was bent on bringing us together for His purpose. Today, I can happily and joyously say, back then, I married my best friend and I could definitely say the same today, but so much more.
Thank you Richard Adamson II for loving me unconditionally, totally and sweetly. Thank you for being a Godly Strong Tower for me and the family. You are my earthly rock, hero and such a beautiful soul and I’m still so excited and madly in love with you!
Thank you Jesus for giving me you’re hand-picked, absolute best gift in the kingdom. You we’re merciful to me and gave me a second chance on love. I thank you for choosing you’re best, honoring my sacrifice and being faithful to me. Christ is AWESOME! You honored my waiting and in turn, you’re grace and mercy allows me today, to have your best, hand-picked just for me!
A big shout out to Mama & Dad Grimes who not only parented us, but counseled us for years straight to the end. We can say we’re better people, Christians and married folks because of your love and sacrifice. Thanks to our Pastor’s, parents, our family, my besties and our closest friends for your continued love, guidance, support over all these years and always speaking life into us.
A special shout out to my best friend, Toishi, for allowing God to use you to speak life into me when I gave up on love. God used you to prophesy this into existence and I held onto the words He spoke through you until it came to pass, hell and high water. To my Mommy, who saw in the spirit the things I couldn’t see, thank you for holding up my arms in prayer and for every word of encouragement. Thank you all and we love you!!!
Continue to join me as I share with you what Christ is sharing with me about obtaining victory and overcoming. As always, Be Encouraged, Stay Connected, Fight, and Let’s Become Free Together.

In His Name,
