Hello everyone,
​
I hope all is well and you’re ready to start your day off on a good note.  We must remember that we make our day and it’s our choice to have a good or bad day with whatever we have on our plate.  Most of the time, we create the chaos that’s going on in our lives.  When we don’t follow the word of God, we’re stuck on just doing what’s best for us and not what’s best for the Body of Christ.

It’s critical that we know why we’re here and our role on our journey.  When everything is going well, we’re good and when things fall apart in our lives, we act like we lost everything.  Well, let me say this:  JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS SO THAT WE MAY LIVE.  It’s our job to sacrifice for HIM.  He said pick up the cross and walk with me.  What do you think that means?  It means, live your journey one day at a time, know that God is with you through whatever and allow your light to shine so that people can see Jesus in you.

That’s not easy but it’s making a difference and allowing God to work through us.  When we carry the cross, we hurt, we go through pain and we’re uncomfortable at times.  This life is not about us but about good and evil.  God said if you stand up for me, you will be rewarded. This goes way beyond what I’m saying because when I say walk with the cross, that means loving when you don’t want to, forgiving when it’s too much and being kind when people are doing you wrong.  We have to remember that when we love, we help so many and when we hate we hurt so many.  Let’s get it together so that we can be at peace on our journey and make it to heaven.

This gift of life that we are given is a blessing and God doesn’t have to give us second chances all the time.  If we just taste and see the goodness of the Lord, we will be able to witness His precious Divine Mercy and want to give hope to the world.  We must remember that what we do determine each day and the consequences that we make determine our future. 

However, through all of this, we can still have joy but let’s stop complaining about our lives and blaming others for how our life is but instead pick up the cross, walk with Jesus and know that you have a purpose and that is to grow in His name to help His children.
​
Amen and Thank You Lord.

Hello everyone,

I hope all is well and again you have a blessed New Year.  You know, life is so precious and we as God's people have the ability to be that vessel for Him over and over again.  There are so many of God's children (Including us) out here suffering because of what we're not doing or what we’re doing to ourselves.

We have to understand one important thing and that is - this life is not about us.  It's about helping each other on our journey to come to Jesus and make it to heaven for eternal life so in other words, we’re here to be humble and serve God’s people even if we’re uncomfortable.

We all are sinners, and we all need improvement so let's start by moving in a direction to fix ourselves so that we can achieve that goal mentioned above.  In 2024, let’s not continue to bring each other down, but lift each other up so that we all can win and have peace on our journey. 
 
This world is about Good and Evil and God is already going to win but we have to allow Him to guide us in the process to show us His way. WE ARE IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE.  Whose side are we on?  We have to think about it, and we can start by praying and asking God for forgiveness and guidance to do His will.  Then, we can do an evaluation of ourselves by asking the following:
 

• Are we kind and do we treat people with kindness?
• Do we treat people the way we would want to be treated?
• Are we forgiving others when they do us wrong?
• Do we have unconditional love in our hearts for others
  
• If the answer is no to any of those questions, we need help.  The main goal in this life is to love our neighbor, put God first and to take care of ourselves so we can serve and show compassion to others. 

 
Let’s speak truth and work towards living a holy life.  We need to be what God wants us to be because when we’re not doing that, we’re hurting others and we’re not progressing or growing within. 

We need to get to the point by allowing our actions to count and mean something.  People need people and they need others to trust with their problems.  They don’t trust because we’re not doing what we’re supposed to be doing and we’re hurting ourselves because we’re not putting God first on our journey.  I don’t mean to be so direct, but this year God is allowing us to grow and have a second chance to do the right thing. Let’s do some reflection and start with trying to be better people.  Once we do that, God will guide us, we will strengthen our relationship with Him and be on our way to fulfilling His mission.

Remember it’s not about us and once we know that our actions will change towards others, we will see ourselves with peace and happiness in all situations. (good or bad) Let’s walk with faith and give God all the praise because at the end of the day, He blesses us with life each day we awaken to do His will. Again, let’s work on ourselves so that our light will shine, and others can see Jesus through us.

Amen and Thank You Lord.

Please see the letter below that was sent during the holiday.  It's very motivating.  

​To family and friends,
 
We would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  This is a new day so let’s rejoice and be glad.  Despite everything that’s happening around us, we have to always be reminded that God is in the midst of it all.  It’s very important to know that and hold on to our faith because we never know what’s going to happen on any given day.  Most of the things that happen around us, are out of our control anyway so let’s not worry but continue to allow God to work through us so that we can gain PEACE and have JOY in our days.
 
This year has been a challenge but remember with no challenges, there’s no growth and we all need that so we can serve more and give hope to the world.  We know that everybody has something that they are dealing with but let’s remember God is with us.  It doesn’t matter what happened yesterday or before that, each day is a new beginning for us to start over with the help of God and become better people even through our faults.
 
It's extremely important that we love, forgive and just be kind to one another because this is part of God’s mission and message to us.  We all are His children and to be real, we don’t know what people are going through.  Let’s show kindness towards one another and share the grace that God has given to us.  As we witness things that are happening in the world, let’s be appreciative of the blessings that we receive each day and each moment that we are given by God.  Amen and Thank You Lord.
 
We wanted to share our love and encourage our family and friends to continue to grow & prosper by allowing your light to shine and gaining strength from God to have the courage to be that vessel for Him.  This coming new year, let’s continue to pray each day so that God can help us serve Him better, know the importance of putting Him first and be at peace in our days.  It’s also important that we take care of ourselves because if we’re not right, how can we be who God wants us to be on our journey.  Let’s continue to hold on even if life seems chaotic because God sees the big picture (like the last verse in “footprints in the sand”) “My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. When you were going through the trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, that was when I carried you”.  Amen 
 
To conclude this message, it’s simply this:

• Keep the faith because God is there all the time,
• Be grateful for the trials and tribulations because God is trying to take you to another level,
• Show love, forgiveness & kindness because not only does it help others but also ourselves,
• Allow our light to shine because we all need each other through the good and the bad,
• Take care of ourselves because at the end of the day, we have to make sure we’re able to serve.

 
Each year we have to include this:  We can’t help but to think about how God has given us a second chance even through the struggles and faults.  Our message to you - be humble and know what’s important on this journey.  Are we appreciating and sharing the gifts of life and love? 
 
We love you very much and always know that God is real.  Again, Merry Christmas and we hope and pray that you have a happy and blessed New Year.  Joseph and Veronica
