14 years ago I was a tangled up mess when I walked through the doors at Caananland COG.I was in need of a savior & It was then I gave my life to Christ & oh what a difference He made. And in that time He sent a wonderful friend & mentor into my life.Sister Opal Seiferman to me was an Angel. We would talk back then almost daily from 7am until sometimes 10am. She taught me about PRAYER & how to get ahold of Rams of the alter of GOD & that if you didnt have an alter then you made one wherever you are at.How to pray prayers to call in lost souls, how to bind & break curses, how to stomp on the devils head.She taught me what genuine PRAISE & WORSHIP is. That we dont kneed a Praise Team always that we have a Praise down deep inside of us that should always come forth without a promt or even have to be on tune.Through the years when I would allow the cares of life whether it be trials sent or allowed or it be from my own wrong doing sometimes I grew tired & weary & I didnt think I could hear Gods voice, I would cheat rather than do longer kneeling & praying & I would call her up to ask why? How? And today without a shadow of a doubt I know that in those times is when Gods voice of I truncation came to me through that little frail women & would always make it through to the next season. Season was another thing she taught when I would cry she would say now Paula you see you are like Gods plant & He doesnt want your flower to bloom too soon because their wouldnt be any roots to hold it down. You see the wind will come, the rain will come down, & you will have some droughts so you must keep prayed up before the drought so your plant want wither & die. But if you stay grounded & rooted your tree will bloom & you will bear much fruit in your life for God.We would pray in the Holy Ghost on that phone & ppl on my job once thought I needed to see a councilor Lol thought I was odd making those noises :) But in time they all began to respect those odd prayers & even call upon me to pray for them. Her favorite verse was IN ALL THINGS GIVE GOD PRAISE! Good or bad she said PRAISE THE LORD! She has wonderful children Linda Linda Pitcock Graham, Gary , & the sweetest granddaughter Alisya Alyssa Pitcock who I love & thank dearly for opening up their home & sharing her with many of us adopted kids she has :) Sunday I layed me face against hers & I held those cripple hands & I PRAISED GOD FOR HER AS I belted a prayer that reached across that hospital & unto the heavens just as she would have done. I prayed Gods Will & even though Im so unworthy I ask God to prune me into someday being the warrior this women was so that maybe just maybe I too could carry her mantle. Then yesterday I arrived back in time to walk the funeral home with her earthly body of clay down & I could her laughing & running & jumping across heaven probably doing the Jericho March like she so longed to do . I along with so many will miss her dearly but will hear her voice now from heaven & carry more seeds hear on Earth to get more souls saved & mentored here just like she taught us to do. Sister Opal I honor God & you in all I do. I love you dearly & my eyes was blinded your crown God placed upon your head yesterday shined so brightly. You are & will always be the finest of gems to me............until we meet again I say PRAISE THE LORD FOR YOU!
