Because God works on both our side and their side of the wall and His loves seeks to heal you both.
Ever think to yaself that the bad ones seem to have it so easy? How about the good die young? Or The rich and wicked are getting away with murder?? Let me encourage you... Here's what stood out in Queen Rain's latest bible reading... Job21:19
The photo credit belongs to Collis Torrington and the creative direction goes to Cynthia Lundi for this #iAmAManNYC rebooted. Rain was inspired by her social media friend Jehosaphat King to remind the #SistahQueens to trust Men to take care of themselves! If a man needs a wife in his life you will know, especially if she is YOU. Men always do what they need to do. Trusting that, is the start of Brown Family Restoration.
Rain Raphael is committed to reading the Bible chronologically this year. In addition she has been asked to share strong discovery. This message is from the bible book of Genesis Chapter 8. The idea is that Noah is the second Adam and births the concept of "God in Spirit" aka Spirituality. It's okay to test the waters but to abuse the dove means you lack faith... Listen in for the full message! Enjoy!

In this 3rd episode/the 2nd installment for the #SistahQueenSeries, Rain admits that her nonchalant approach to friendship has cost her some friends. The nonchalance is based in long lasting loyalty she offers through nostalgia. Still, nostalgia is sometimes not a strong enough connection to sustain friends. So, she asks the #SistahQueens to build deeper connections (on more than pain) so we can create more value amongst women in our community.
PICK A STRUGGLE is the 1st installment of the #SistahQueenSeries by Rain. The Podcast addresses the contradictions of women using the topic of Gender Roles as an example.
Rain feels the first step in #BrownFamilyRestoration is reviving each gender to there posts in the home.
Let's begin this new journey to #BrownFamilyRestoration with some Rain Glossary Terms. Let's define #SistahQueen and prepare for the SistahQueen series for a foundation of unity and accountability amongst women, ready to be better to our men. Shall we?
