I started asking God yearS ago to reveal my purpose to me. 🤔 What was the meaning of my time on earth? Why was I going through the things I went through? Why did He allow the devil to “try” to destroy me since I was but a child? Why was my youth bruised? Why were my young adult years stained by physical abuse?? Why were my adult years mired in trauma? What was the purpose of my gifts? Why did He trust (me) with them? What did He want me to do with them?? IF He did want me to use them, where was I supposed to find the confidence that others had? The boldness? I’d never been fierce or strong. Though I dreamed big dreams, I didn’t really feel confident or capable.

Y’all … I have been BROKEN in unimaginable ways. 😭😭😭 I feel led to share some things along my “current” journey. Others are still too painful to share decades later.🥺 Perhaps, after launching my music project, the Lord will lead me to write a book.🥹

I don’t know.😔 Just like I don’t (fully) know all of the answers to every question I’ve ever asked the Lord.🙏🏽

But, I “DO” know this. Crocodile TEARS are falling down my face as I sit here watching this video (see comments section)! 😭😭😭 The day that I’ve anticipated (and dreaded) is finally here and I’m struggling to see where to start.🥺 There is NO talking about how this group of people have impacted my life without opening the door to some of the darkest (physically, emotionally, spiritually), most confusing days of my life.

You see, The Angelic Voices of Faith Incorporated (now “Billy Rivers and the Angelic Voices of Faith”) are and have historically been more than just a faith-filled, anointed singing aggregation. The AVOF (BRAVOF) is MINISTRY- within and without. When God led me to them (through my Best Friend, Aretha), He led me H.O.M.E. !! He led me to a place of refuge and strength: to a place of belonging and wholeness. It was there that I met the people who became more than just choir members and friends: they were my safe haven in ALL of the seasons of my life from my young adulthood forward !!!

This group of young people was not simply content to minister to the masses in song, shout, dance and go home until the next time. They were also “doctors of healing, specialists in wound care, masters of fixing broken things”!!! Though I don’t think they all the time knew it, “I” knew it the from the moment they took me in.

They’re my clan: my brother and sisterhood … I’ll love them until I draw my last breath.❤️Then, we will sing together forever in the Heavenly choir!! 🎤🎶🎵

To be continued … next time, I’ll “try” to keep it light.😉
