“It’s Marcus, Not Sha”

Life is much like flying on an airplane. You may hit some turbulence and feel like its twists and turns are going end up disastrous. But the thing we can’t see is how the pilot is maneuvering in the cockpit to ensure our safety to our destinations. God is the same way. He allows the turbulence, but we forget we have The Pilot who can bring us to safety if we only trust Him. Many of you know I had a ROUGH time getting to Las Vegas for my family reunion. My flight got cancelled, the second time I paid for another flight it didn’t go through and they still took money out of my account. Then I had to pay well over $500 to finally get on a flight. I almost gave up, but if you know me, I’m persistent and I NEEDED a vacation.

One thing about Monica, she’s a fighter. I push through and the theme for this year was “Bounce Back.” Last year was a bit wild, but I didn’t break and I’m surely not going to let a rough time at the airport stop me from much needed vacation time. I truly enjoyed time with my family. The second I saw my parents at the airport, I felt relieved. Then the more family I saw at the airport, I was almost in tears of happiness. I’m so emotional! Lol. I feel like I had a good bond with many people at this family reunion. I’m pretty much Ricky Bentley (and Ruby Bentley) because I can talk and I like to mix and mingle. I think I asked who was related to who and how about 20 times. I think I got it down now.

I’m very thankful for my family and how everyone asked about me and if I was okay from the airport fiasco. It’s a blessing to have people who care about you and they actually show it. I had a wonderful time just laughing and talking. And I was humbled when I thought I could hang and go to a party that started late. I’m getting old…or as they say, seasoned. I’m ready for the next reunion in Nashvegas, which I am very familiar with. So family, next reunion please make sure you remember this very important thing…it’s Marcus, not Sha! Be Sweet.
