Welcome to Olivia's Daughter....a blog that I created in March 2010 to document my blessed journey of healing. Since I began this blog, my mother has gone home to be with the Lord along with my son, Chris Reshaud Jordan, who was murdered in October 2009. After these two devastating events, I felt forsaken by God. I cried out to the Lord seeking my purpose in life. Throughout this experience, I had to make the choice to surrender to a life of worthlessness or to live my life to the fullest, a life filled with abundance and love.


God has strengthened me. I am seeking Him daily and and working to live in His will which is leading me to my purpose and passion. I think of Chris and Olivia constantly, but I have turned this over to God. I want God to use me as his vessel giving Him the glory.

'Sharing'




Lord I want to thank You for knowing who You are.  Jesus You gave it ALL.  You are so mighty in all of your glory.  You shine above all in all that you do.  You keep me encouraged on a day to day.  Even on not so good days, I feel your favor in my life.  I believe in Your power as I witness what You do in my life on a day to day.

Yesterday as been one the best days I have had in weeks.  I got up and was able to do some things, take care of business in a lot of areas of my life.  These that I have been putting off to the point of watching things turn toxic.  God gave me the strength to make some steps toward freedom.  He knows I need freedom in order to clearly be able to serve and be used His vessel.  I watched the Lord work yesterday in my life in such a special way that I have only seen him do once before in my life.  He reminded me of what He had done before, and how he laid out the plan.  He moved in such a special way that I knew that it was Him because only He has the power to do what He did for me.  I will be able to share more as it unfolds, right now I have this situation in prayer, and You know God will get the glory. 

I was off work yesterday to follow up with my doctor on my foot injury.  He said X-rays were good and progress was being made.  I go back in a month.  So while I was off I took care of some much needed business.  In addition to taking care of business, I got a phone call from a friend.  She wanted to celebrate my March birthday that she missed.  Yes March, got to love her.  We had a ball, we ate, laughed, shopped.  Bust most importantly we had deep conversations about our relationships with God.  We both know each other testimonies but we were able to talk and give God ALL the glory.  Amazing fellowship.  We encouraged one another.  You see this person’s testimony when I first joined NCBF touched me deeply.  Her testimony of God’s goodness in her life, propelled me to pursue a friendship with her.  Her friendship was probably one of my first godly friendships.  I had never sought out a relationship with a person based on their relationship with God.  Amazing.  So to this day, I seek her out as a living testimony to encourage my heart.  God gives us what we need.  She is a ride or die type of girlfriend. Yesterday I shared some auto troubles with her and you know we traveled cross country until she was satisfied I had a fair mechanic.  To be honest all of my girlfriends are ride or die.  Remember a few bogs back I rode about the A team will they are ride or die.   We go the extra for one another, I praise God for Godly community He has placed me in.  This morning on my drive to work talked to a ride or die who I was able to minister to and give some advice.  She later tested me and said thanking for being willing to share.  Because you see what I told her I rarely talk about but I knew she needed to know in order to save herself some misery.  Sharing is the key, being willing to put yourself out there, I mean your testimony, your knowledge in order to bless others.  Sharing what I shared with her could have embarrassed me but I chose to put it out there to savage something that is dear to her.

Alright, Alright, I am about to get teary.  You know I do that sometimes, I type and I cry.  God’s love becomes so overwhelming that it brings me to tears and takes me to another level of worship.

I think I have said enough, please be blessed by this and know that God loves you.
