The Bible was instilled in me since I was a child. My grandma (Gaga) sent me to Grace Christian Academy and had me in church every Sunday. Gaga never cared if I played outside with my friends but my behind was going to be in church singing on the choir, side note I can't sing, but she had me there anyway. I knew all of the books of the Bible, the 10 commandments, everything. I THANK HER. The Bible says train up a child in the way she should go and she shall never depart from it. I weep for our children today, they know every single Beyonce song but can't recite the Lord's Prayer. If it wasn't for my Gaga and Jesus of course, where would I be. As a child I had the best and experienced the worse. Don't pity me because I am blessed. My Gaga made sure I had the best clothing, the best teachers, the Bible and a childhood. As a child she was my best friend because only she knew the pain I was enduring. Siblings, family no one can understand our bond and Gaga never explained it to anyone. My Gaga knew what I was going through so every time I would visit her she would give me quarters to call her if I needed her, she called them "prayer quarters". So at around 8 or 9 years old I would run out of the house at 2 or 3 in the morning crying and she would answer every time and I would say "Gaga would you ask Jesus to save us please, and can he hurry? Is he busy?" And she would pray and cry with me and say "Baby God is going to fix this, he may not come right now but he's always on time", which he did but by the time God stepped in I started to rebel. During my rebellious stage all Gaga would say is "Pam you know better and I'm disappointed". Regardless of what I was doing or where I was going the spirit followed because I know my Gaga had me all prayed up. Of course I started discovering Jesus for myself, which is great. I thank God for entering my life but I thank God for my Gaga for starting the pathway. I grew up with Jesus on my side and he has never left me even when I thought I was alone, even when I was running the streets clubbing, cursing, fighting and acting a pure fool. I write this to say what's wrong with your child knowing the Bible? Rap artist, R&B artist and anything or anyone can't save your child in his or her darkest hour but Jesus can. I pray you teach your child prayers before bedtime or receiving a meal or the Psalm 23 because in the end no one and I mean NO ONE can save them but the Lord himself.
Thank you Gaga because without you laying the solid foundation I would be lost or worse dead. Now I stand on that foundation and "all other ground is sinking sand" BE BLESSED MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS!!!!!
