Hello World,
If you have read a blog post or two here, you know I am a big fan of Sherri Shepherd. Yesterday, Sherri, co-host of ABC’s “The View,” officially addressed rumors that she was leaving the daytime talk show while on the show…
“You know I’m a woman of faith, and seven is the number of God’s completion,” she said, alluding to the amount of years she’s been on the ABC daytime talk show.
“I’ve been here seven years, and my time with ‘The View’ is complete,” Shepherd continued.

Her mention of the number seven in her official announcement, which happened on 7/7/2014, got me thinking about the number 7 and it’s significance in the Bible. The number 7 in the Bible often denotes entirety or perfection. God created the earth in seven days. Seven churches were addressed in Revelation. The walls of Jericho came crashing down after they were marched around seven times. Mary Magdalene was possessed by seven demons…And there are many more references to the number seven in the Bible.
And the number seven is significant in my life, I was born on the 7th day of September. The first I book I wrote (which was never published) is my Christian journey from 1996 to 2003. It was only last night that I realized I chronicled the first seven years of my walk with God. In 2003, I began trying to get a book contract and prepare myself to meet my husband, and seven years later, both dreams were fulfilled….
In other celebrity and seven news, Pastor Rudy Ramus of St. John’s United Methodist Church of Houston revealed that Beyonce’, a member of his church, donated $7 million to the church. Her sizable donation enabled 42 homeless men and women to have homes…See a video of Pastor Ramus speaking about her donation below.
So has the number 7 been significant in your life? Or do you not believe that numbers are significant?
Any thoughts?
I was born on the 7th day as well. Seven is my perfect number. My perfect number. My Mom always said 7 was God’s perfect number.
I love the above video regarding the church and its mission. It is so important to love people and give without condition or judgment. I am glad to hear Beyonce is giving back.
