America--LOOK WHAT I FOUND...

“Come, they are here. Let me show you.”
We step into the entry for Pastor Jules’ bakery. The entry area is barely larger than my front porch, about 25 feet by 12 feet. I am overwhelmed. I count approximately 76 children in various stages of nakedness. Some laps are holding 2 and 3 smaller children. There are probably closer to 90, for the children seem to keep shifting making it hard to get an exact count. I had with me my back pack with treats for the children. But I had only filled it half full, not realizing what I was coming to witness. I began to hand out ‘Lil Debbie Crackers’ knowing that I did not have enough. But to my astonishment every child gets fed. Every time I reached into my back pack there were more crackers. After every child is proudly holding a pack of crackers, to my human amazement there are still crackers in the back pack. I dump the contents on the table used for kneading Pastor Jules’ bread. I dumped out enough crackers for the children to eat again on tomorrow...Oh the miracle of it. I whisper a thank you that is insufficient for such a sufficient God.

...that's meeeeeee!!!

Oh my look what I found. Go to (realwomenrealadvice.com/2009/02/20/learning-to-recognize-psychological-abuse) . This is just proof of the pudding that you must always keep your nose clean. Just never know where something you have done or said will show up. This was done way, way, way before youtube was sooooo popular. And way back at the very beginning of my missionary career. Even though it was was posted on youtube February of this year. Hope you can see it, I had to turn my volume up real high. If you want to order my lil' palmette pamplets called HINT, HINT!!! and the other one called GET OUT!!! ( $3.50 a piece or $4.99 for both) email me at yolanthapace@gmail.com I created these to give to friends who are victims and don't even realize or have any HINT that they are in trouble and for my friends that need encouragement and the inspiration to GET OUT of their horrible situations.

I was just doing a random google of my name and clicked on that site. When I opened it I stood straight up and shouted...that's meeeeeeee!!! Alright good night, love you madly, Yolantha

...and God said let there be Yolantha, and there was...Yolantha

If you would have told me that I was gonna one day be a missionary. I would have stood up to you, toe to toe--eye to eye and snarled, "YOU A LIE" and stormed out of the room. But oh my goodness, look at me now. Nine years a missionary to Haiti. One of the first American women and specifically African American women to some of the most remote mountain villages of Ranquitte, Haiti and the surrounding area. If God can use me...then God can certainly use you. And that's definitely "NOT A LIE" So welcome my dear yolanthaiti bloggistas and bloggistos. This blog will consist of the journey, challenges and victories of my life. A life dedicated to serving God. It ain't all purdy, but it ain't all oogly either. Hope to hear from yall. Ask me questions... I don't have all the answers but I'll definitely respond based on the world according to Yolantha. I'll also be sharing some of my award winning writings as one of America's Top 100 Literary Divas in addition to my new works for my up and coming book, KISS AMERICA KISS!!!
