There was a day when the angels came to present themselves before the Lord and who would show up but Satan himself! He found himself experiencing the symptoms of God saying, “yes”to a rather shifty character! Job (from the Bible), not who you may have seen depicted on a South Park episode, faced some pretty peculiar challenges. I’m sure I’m going to catch major side-eye from my husband due to all this corniness! ? As in the job we need to clock into every day to get paid! Lol Okay, let me get out of my homeschooling phonics bag. You know with the hard “o” sound not the soft “o” that we typically hear in the actual word ‘job’. I think Michelle would agree that our old friend Job knows a lil’ somethin’ somethin’ about when Jesus says, “yes”. God in His mercy, will reveal so much more to us if we would turn down the music and give him a listen instead. This is why it’s crucial for those of us who are Christians to not only read the Word but to also be students of the Word. Shoot, I was so caught up with singing the ad libs to even notice Jesus runs everything! I can’t knock any of you if that’s your story because it was obviously mine. It’s interesting how so many of us can hear a song like Michelle Williams and get carried away with rocking to the beat and miss the heart of the lyrics. The only yes I wanted to hear would relieve our present circumstances. Nevertheless, I made up my mind to want no parts of Jesus’ “yes” for my life. However, if you knew me at the time, you’d find this pretty hilarious since I was skin and bones despite already being a mother of two! One day, I declared to my husband that I had decided we wouldn’t be announcing the coming arrival of this baby until my belly could tell no more lies. Upon learning another baby was on the way, I was none too thrilled! In my shock, anger and extremely visible disappointment, I was becoming bitter with God. Debt collectors knew ALL of my numbers and shut off notices were the norm! To top it off, the Master’s degree I once found pride in, offered no relief in the midst of all this struggle. Then, at some point in the equation (we didn’t plan on it), but we found ourselves apart of the tax-payer funded food stamp program. We already were the parents to two amazing little girls, who were only one and three years old at the time. You see, we were in the throngs of a very trying season. With most of the early memories of this pregnancy pretty hazy, one thing is for sure, I’ll never forget the reaction I had once the pregnancy test gave me a “yes” of its own. My husband and I had just discovered we were going to have a ‘destiny’s child’ of our own. In June 2012, I found myself staring down this reality. But what about the times when his “yes” comes in a form we least expect? Or what if it’s (gasp) a “yes” we don’t like? It’s true, when Jesus says, “Yes!”, nobody can so no. However, there’s another side to this song that we may overlook. There’s just something about singing about our God!

In my house there’s two little girls who love to dance and sing so this song is on continual repeat. I have no fear ’cause I know who’s in control”

The lyrics themselves set the stage for the message she hoped to communicate: In it, you see Michelle with her famous friends grooving to the beat while celebrating life, laughter and friendship. The underlying tone and mood of the music video speaks volumes. On her 2014 cross-over Gospel hit, Say Yes, my girl Shelley hit the nail on the head! Though she once passionately implored us, “ladies leave your man at home!” This hypnotic melody sung by Michelle Williams definitely speaks truth! If you’re a bit unfamiliar with her, she is 1/3 of the hip shaking, hit making, chart breaking early 2000’s girl group Destiny’s Child.

When Jesus say, “Yes,” nobody can say, “No.”
