I will never for get meeting this beautiful Woman Of God when I was just 16 and a freshman at Morehouse. Evangelist Tanda Joy Canion was and still is the First Lady of Assembly Of Truth. DUI g those days we were in the same district and out churches fellowship often. Times brought about a change and the fellowship was not as frequent, but the love and respect never did. Besides being an amazing dresser Tanda can wreck a church. I never knew she was ill I just thought the hair and wigs was Tanda being fabulous. The testimony that you will find below of Dr. Tanda Joy Canion will move you to tears as hit has me.
At a funeral Tanda told the saints to get right and live Holy because the church has more Scandal then Shonda Rhimes and Olivia Pope! Later she said that if it was not going on then I would not have anything to write about or post to my blog. Her words were comforting and a encouragement to me to keep pressing forward in the mist of my opposition. Without question I love her and praying for God to heal her body in Jesus Name!
NO LIMITS. NO LABELS. I AM NOT MY HAIR!
(Before and after my surgery. Be sure to view my video below. Please read, like, and share).
I have always been know for my hair styles and fashion. It is just a part but not all of who I am. Last year I went through a surgery that challenged my self esteem. Like many people at one time in my life I had low self esteem. After accepting Jesus Christ, He revealed to me who I am and that I am made in His image.
Prior to the surgery, I was rocking the mohawk hair style. After this surgery I had to retire the hawks and go to wearing units (wigs) while I healed in hopes that I could go back to my original styles. Needless to say it did not happen that way. It was an adjustment but I learned quickly to enjoy being able to go into the drawer. LOL. It gave me diversity. I could be long, short, red, black and anything I felt for that day. Recently, I have been attacked by a disease that the doctors have not been able to diagnose that have caused me hair loss. The doctors told me that at this time I can not wear my units (wigs). The devil said to me, “what are you going to do now since you have lost your hair and you can not wear your units? What are people going to think?” While it is nice to be liked I don’t put a whole lot of thought into what others think. I learned that those that love you will do so regardless of what happens to you. The others will continue whatever they did prior to the situation. I answered back and said, “I am not my hair. I am God’s daughter with or without hair. I will rock whatever God has given me. If its nothing, I will create my own style. No limits and no labels. I am not my hair!”
I am sharing my testimony with you to encourage you. I am believing God for healing and a full recovery but until He does it, I will rock what I have! I will still rock my units whenever I get ready too. I want to encourage those of you who have had life changes just as I have to be encouraged. Take lemons and make lemonades. You must refuse limits and labels. Regardless of what life brings, remember you are not what has happened to you. No limits, no labels. #nolimitsnolabels #Originals #original #drt #pastort #amitalkingood #babey #victory #winner #healed #original #scarsintostars
