I dont have a lot of time this morning because I have to prepare for class but the Holy Spirit arrested me for a few moments to share from my heart. As you know, Tip left this world in August and her absence is felt like you wouldnt believe. At first I was so torn that I didnt know to do. Should I go back to Virginia until Jamie and the children are settled? Should I help them to relocate so that they could have a new beginning and a chance to live the life children should live? What should I do that would be in the best interest of the children? I have come to the conclusion that while I am trying to figure it out, God has already worked it out. I believe the manifestation of Gods plan is forthcoming but in the meantime, I thank God for our Nichole Boddie-Kelly. She is the baby of the family but she stepped into the role of mother so that the children could continue to feel Tip through her. I know that its not easy but the smile on her face tells me its worth it. Shes at the school talking with the teachers, in the cafeteria bringing surprise lunches from McDonalds, at the doctors for appointment, in church leading them to Godly counsel. She realizes that Jamie Boddie needs help because he and Tip were always Team Boddie. I am so proud of my children for working together to give these babies the best life possible and I want them to know that Grandma is with you 100%. I have made some plans for their future and I have changed some plans for their future but the one thing I can assure you is that whatever God does, it will be for the good of the children. Every once in a while, I publicly celebrate my children. I have lost one and what keeps me going is knowing that he knew how I felt about him. Family means everything to me. Tip loved and trusted Allen Lawrence Boddie-Chapman with her heart and I thank God that he wants to ensure the healthy minds, bodies and spirits of his nieces and nephews. I pray that Tips family and Jamies family will continue to work together; that Jamie as the only parent left will feel the support of our families because there is no doubt how much those children love their father. This is a season of growing up, making wise decisions and leaning on God while trusting Him to make a way. I pray that every bad thing that has happened in these childrens lives been replaced with peace and joy but most of all, love. I believe you all would agree, they deserve that. The enemy is going to try to kill, steal and destroy but Jesus said...I have come to give life and to give it more abundantly. Jamie, as you try to figure things out as to whats best for your children, Satan is going to come after you like never before. Now is the time to work on Jamie to be a better Jamie as we all need to work on being a better us. God doesnt require perfection but He does require that we strive for it. Hes got your back and so do I. Old things are passed away, behold, all things have become new.
