“Buzzin’ With Da Queen BEE”

Alls my life I has to fight, nigga
Hard times like God
Bad trips like: “God!”
Nazareth, I’m f—ed up
Homie you f—ed up
But if God got us then we gon’ be alright
Nigga, we gon’ be alright
Nigga, we gon’ be alright
We gon’ be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon’ be alright
– By Kendrick Lamar
Why would I begin an inspirational message with the foul-mouth language of a hip hop recording artist? I don’t think other evangelists would begin a message with a rap song and I bet my beloved Pastor would be disappointed to read the opening of this article, but there is a message in this madness so keep on reading.
Rapper Kendrick Lamar has won:
– a Grammy
– A BET Award
– an MTV Award
– countless global fans and a
– Soul Train Music Award
There are young adults and hip hop fans who can quote Lamar’s lyrics faster than they can spell their names. I know this song is laced with profanity and reflections of trials and troubles from both film and reality, but I cling to the shining light that beamed from the midst of this song:
But if God got us then we gon’ be alright!
How can you be encouraged when you are sick or injured or facing a trial? Is it really feasible to believe that a person can “look to the heavens from which cometh my health and strength” when they are dealing with a broken bone or an impending surgical procedure? Hmmm…
1 Corinthians 6:19 tells us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit; a place where God can dwell. Our bodies are considered houses! Many of us will put on makeup or purchase a new suit before dealing with pain or dysfunction within our bodies. Does that new eye makeup cover up the fact that you are squinting when you read? Do those new running shoes cover the foot fungus that you have ignored for months? Hmmm…
Now, what if your home has a foundation issue that resulted in cracks throughout the walls? Are there shingles missing from your roof? Do you slap a coat of paint on the walls to cover the cracks or do you work to restore the foundation? If your home is the place where you dwell, would you take care of your home? If your body is a home where God dwells, then it is time to take care of it!
=================
It’s not a valley of sickness, it is a valley of restoration! When we get a bad medical report, just wait for doors to open. God wouldn’t have led you to this situation if He didn’t have a new direction for you into a valley of victory. Your valleys are leading you to your victories! – Joel Osteen
As I write this article, I am lying on my couch with my laptop on my lap and my foot propped up on a pillow. Last week, I had bunion surgery and my foot still holds the stitches. During my first follow-up to the surgeon, she revealed to me that I had popped one of my stitches and my foot was red; leading me to 14 days of antibiotics. My surgery was on Monday and my first follow-up was on Wednesday. How did all this happen during the course of TWO DAYS?! I didn’t respect my temple. The pain meds were working, my walker was within arms reach and I felt like I didn’t want to be a burden to my family so I hobbled around a bit.
I slapped some paint on my cracks and ended up doing more harm to my temple! I ain’t doing that no more. My foot is propped up, the ice pack is in place and I have a remote control in my hand! Hmmph!
==================
God will certainly speak to you whether you want to hear from Him or not. Kendrick Lamar SCREAMS the lyrics in his song to tell audiences “But if God got us then we gon’ be alright” and some of us don’t hear that inspirational word, because we don’t listen to rap music. God used Lamar to deliver that word, and we don’t like the cussing, so we don’t listen to the song.
While I was writing this article, I had the TV on my favorite channel with Joyce Meyer on mute. Why would I put a message from God on mute? Because, I was trying to write this article (lol). Well, I looked up from my laptop and saw Joyce make a funny face, and I turned up the volume on my TV just in time to hear her speak these words from God:
“If we just keep asking for miracles, God will keep giving them to us; but if we ask God for WISDOM… we can avoid the pitfalls that require a miracle to climb out of”. – Joyce Meyer
Now, I realize that waking up from any surgical procedure is a miracle. My blessed Mother-in-Law used to say “They put you so far down under in sleep that you don’t even know that you’re in the world!” I don’t take for granted that any surgery is routine and I give God ALL the praise for the miracle of healing.
BUT – –
Along with that miracle, a person needs wisdom. I should have rested following my foot surgery and if I had used wisdom, I would not have injured my foot or required antibiotics. If I had used wisdom and allowed my family to care for me during that time, I would not have strained myself trying to sit up… and I would not have gotten a hernia. Yep, you read it right! I have an estimated 4 inch tear in my abdomen and now I need ANOTHER surgery to repair it. Wisdom. I asked for a miracle, but lacked the wisdom once I received that miracle and now I’m quoting Kendrick Lemar lyrics.
We gon’ be alright!
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon’ be alright!
My body IS a temple of the Lord and because of this knowledge, I wrote a book entitled “The Evolution of Da Queen Bee”. This book details my 200 pound weight loss and the miracle of healing from disease through Gastric Bypass surgery. #EvolutionOfDaQueenBee
My body IS a temple of the Lord and because of this understanding, I wrote a book entitled “Last Week…I Wanted To Die” which detailed the mental illness that led me to three suicide attempts. #LastWeekIwantedToDie
I chose to no longer limp around in pain from my foot and have my temple restored. How can I preach to others of the goodness of a healing God when my toe hurts too much to stand before His people?! I didn’t just slap some paint on the cracks, I restored my foundation. My foot is HEALED, in the name of Jesus!
God didn’t heal me from
– Type 2 diabetes
– High Blood Pressure
– Sleep Apnea
– Poor circulation
– GERD
– PTSD and
– suicidal major depression in order to let me fall down from a bunion! God allowed me to learn my lesson and gain wisdom with this hernia, so now I am allowing my entire body the opportunity to rest. Thank you Lord! Everyone marvels over the Proverbs 31 woman, but take a look at the Proverbs 3:13 woman!!! Now THAT’S who I want to grow up and be like!
#Jesus
Lord, I thank you for the miracles you have allowed me to see, to speak and to be a part of. Thank you for not only restoring my body but elevating my mind with wisdom. Father God, I love you and I strive to be obedient, and I thank you for sending skilled physicians and caregivers that are my family and friends. Use me Lord! My temple is yours to speak to others and to lead them to you. Thank you for Kendrick Lemar. Thank you for Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Copeland, Joseph Prince and Joel Osteen. Thank you for #TheTOURthatAngieBEEpresents and for the clients that wait on Angie BEE Productions to reopen while I heal. Lord, I thank you for loving me.
In Jesus name…
Amen
