Let the church say Amen.

21.

Erica Monique Atkins:

I just came back from the morning show getting inside the house. The kids were gone to school, which gave me the chance to get some rest since I woke up early to get to the station.

Today was a very special day though... Kierra was  coming to LA, even if maybe it was only for 2 days... she managed to squeeze some time in her schedule to see me which I was super excited for.

Her squeezing the days in was under sad circumstances though since she had another fallout with the bishop... she feels bad for breaking her ex-fiancè's heart , so she wanted to be closer to me for emotional uplift in a way.

I was excited, but I was also super tired, we spoke on the phone since midnight, and I had to wake up at 5 a.m to get to the station for the morning show, lucky for me my daughter Krista was old enough, well responsible enough to make sure that they get to school on time.

And I would come back home at around 10 since the show ends around 9 a.m, right now before my baby lands I just wanted to take a quick nap so I can give her my best .

Also, it was a Friday... Warryn had the kids on the weekends and Kierra didn't mind being in my house for the time being... God forgive me but I am definitely missing church this Sunday

Sunday would be Kierra's last day so I would have to help her by dropping her off at the airport, just as I will be fetching her at around 2 or 3

Before I decide to take my nap, I make myself a little sandwich since I only had a smoothie earlier. As I did in the kitchen making my sandwich I get a call.

I lick my fingers from the sauce, and I slide the screen up then I put it on speaker hearing my sisters yell at me.

"Oh my God, shut up" I say laughing at their crazy   trying to figure out what is it that they want

It was Goo and Tina, as always really "Mary... she has me dressed in a PARACHUTE!" Tina yells over the phone causing me to shake my head.

"It's not a parachute, I am led by the holy ghost to send this outfit to-" Googoo let's out.

"The devil is a lie, don't bring the holy spirit in this" Tina yells out to her cutting her off.

"Let me-" I try to say between the two as they argued, "Let me see the dang thing Jeeesus!" I finally snap at them.

Googoo is supposed to style Tina on an upcoming event she has, and I knew that somehow those two were going to fight. They probably called half of our clan as they did, by clan I mean our sisters.

I switched the phone to FaceTime then Tina immediately did the honors, my sister showed me  the dress as she walked around showing me the angle.

The dress was kind of poofy in a way , but it was cute... between Tina and I , I was the one who was more open when it come to dressing style, I was willing to try anything and my sister? Well... she was a little conservative with her style.

And that's okay.

"I think it looks kind of gorgeous though Mary" I say to Tina , then I hear Goo wildly clapping her hands.

"Right!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.

"You were sent by the demonic spirit that Goo is led by to make me a laughing stock at the event" Tina joked causing me to cackle.

There was no way, and no one could convince Tina to wear something she didn't like, not ever-
My sister is STUBBORN.

"Fine Mary, change the dang dress, I wanna sleep I'm tired " I say to the both of them
