Rolling over, just waking up out of my sleep. I have the worst headache in the world. My eyes are so puffy an red from all of the crying I was doing. Looking at my phone, I saw Rayshawn's number in my call log. He hung the phone up 25 minutes ago, he really did stay up with me last night.

But you know how a lot of these hood boys are, they only want one thing, and that's what's between your legs. September 11, 2012 was the best day of my life, the day Rayshawn came into my life. I'm so scared to put my feelings into him or be faithful, all because I don't want him to end up like Ed.

They will be all good and nice, lovey dovey with you until you really get to know them. So far, he did nothing but show me the best. He texts me throughout my day, he was really trying to pick me up from work when I had to catch the bus, and on top of that, when I really needed someone by my side he was the only one there for me.

Rayshawn was not my boyfriend at the time. But it's real sad how my boyfriend Ed could not even do that for me. UGHH, just thinking of him makes my skin crawl.

Today is Sunday, one of my days off. I have to start getting ready for church, I'm a church girl. Ever since I was a little girl my grandmother Ann always had my sisters, brother and I at church all the time.

When I was growing up, my brother, two sisters along with myself used to always play church. I was the pastor, my brother was the drummer, and my two little sisters used to be the ones who I preached to.

It's really funny how God works, he will start getting you ready for what he have in store for you. 10 years later, I gave my life to God when I was 15 years ol'. I started reading my bible, and getting to know him better. My big brother Trell, is a drummer for my church. My church is called World Deliverance.

When Trell was a little boy, his god mother Dot bought him a drum set for his birthday. Now, he plays full time at my church on Sundays. My two little sisters Be-Be and Key'arra, are now studying the bible and will soon be preachers.

My pastor told us we are the Power of three. The devil will try to hurt us, but always remember God will always fight your battles. Just keep his word in your heart and know he is the only God, then you will be Rightous in the kingdom of heaven.

Snapping out my thoughts, finishing getting ready for church. My church starts at 11:30, I love my church.

I was going there ever since I was a born. That's my family church. The pastor Doctor Nelly, are both my mother Leasha and aunt A'licea god parents. My grandparents Ann and Alvin, both were going there since the church first opened.

I love the way my pastor preaches, every time he preach he gives me life. He will give you hope when you feel like no one is there for you. This is his favorite line

"Just call on me, you know I will fight the battle with you. This battle is not yours, it's the Lord's".

Then he will text me bible verses to read I love my pastor. Also the things he tells you about your life, you know it's from God because my pastor don't know my business.

"SHRELL, come on! Mama said we are about to leave" Be-Be yelling from down stairs.

"I'm coming"
