Moving, Marriage and Ministry!

The Calling – October 2010 Edition


Naima News!

Please forgive me for not sharing a personal blog over the last few months. When 2010 began I had no idea that I would meet the man of my dreams, fall in love and have a wedding with over 100 people in attendance! All within the space of 9 months!

A whirlwind romance for sure, ordained by God of course! It’s such a miraculous story that I’m working on a new book to document the wonder of a man who finds a wife according to the scripture. I was just busy working for the kingdom and bam, there he was with his intentions! As a matter of fact I had gotten to that place where I wanted to get married but was content with the thought that it might not be God's will for me... after all have you ever seen the stats on getting married for African American women over the age of 35!? I had a greater chance of dying in a plane crash or being killed by terrorists according to some researchers! BUT GOD!!!!

Jon and I were married on Sunday, September 5, 2010 at St. Luke AME Church in Nashville, TN after a ton of premarital counseling and a very short engagement! We honeymooned in Orlando and took a cruise to the Bahamas and I must admit that my entire life and ministry were on pause as I took the unexpected road that the Lord laid before me. Marriage is truly a good thing, Jon is a minister and a gospel concert promoter and is utterly in love with me! As I am with him. I must share that he truly is a God given dream come true. We are now working together in ministry to advance the kingdom of the Lord, bring in the harvest and share the love of Christ with the world. We are truly excited about all the Lord is doing in our lives.

On another note we have recently moved to Fairborn, Ohio from Nashville, TN. Midwestern USA is a bit different for Jon, but as many of you know this area is like home to me, since I had lived in Fairborn for many years. We have joined the staff at New Life Outreach Ministries and we’re helping a dear friend of mine, Pastor Lisa Lewis build this ministry from the ground up. It’s always exciting to help someone launch their vision, as you know second only to singing God’s praises that is my greatest passion. I expect to learn lots of life lessons over the next year and look forward to sharing them with you as you also move forward to achieve your God given dreams!
