Hello Family,

I hope all is well.  Please keep me in your prayers.  I had to take some time to  myself with God.   I will be back and I hope all is well with you and your family.

Remember to take one day at a time, know that you're loved and God is with you each and everyday through the good and the bad.

​Amen

​God’s children are really precious and if we stop and think about life and what’s important, we would understand the importance of being humbled, loving our neighbor and forgiving one another.
 
If we take time out and read the Lord’s Prayer, God tells us to forgive, to love, to try and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.  It’s all about respecting one another, loving God, walking in faith and trying to walk our journey on the right path and asking God to help us but at the same time we have to do our part by allowing our light to shine.
 
God has allowed us to be here and to give hope to the world.  He knew we were going to go through some things so His mission to us was to go out in the world and be disciples by bringing hope and sharing the gospel.  (The GOOD NEWS of JESUS)
 
People are really going through some things and at times we go through things too.  It’s very important that we know how to forgive and be there for one another even if it hurts because in reality, we don’t know where people minds are and all God asks us to do is let people see Jesus through our actions.
 
We have to put in something because God pours His grace on us all the time and He gives us choices to accept it or not.  I don’t know about you but I want peace and I know that peace only comes from God.  When I don’t accept the grace, my life becomes chaotic and I get stressed.  We really don’t have time to think that we can do this by ourselves. 
 
God is so wonderful and He gives us joy to get through things.  Let’s share that joy with one another so that we can share God’s love with all people.
 
Amen

Every day is an opportunity to learn something new or to refresh our faith on our journey.  Over this past week, I’ve had an opportunity to witness a lot of things and to be honest, what it balls down to is how we’re preparing ourselves for heaven.

What I mean by prepare ourselves is working to do the things that we know are good for us to avoid complications like treat people the way we would want to be treated, handle ourselves with integrity, know how to respond to situations, know how to handle conflict, know how to love, know how to forgive, know how to learn from our mistakes, know how to accept wisdom, know how to be still, know how to take time out for God, know how to make our yes mean yes and our no mean no, know how to respect, know how to have your own mind, know how to walk away from craziness and so on and so on.

To be honest, all that matters in this world is putting God first and loving one another.  When we love, everything will come together and God will give us the strength, the guidance and everything we need in situations. 

Sometimes situations are tough but I believe everything happens for a reason and if we just know how to hold on through it all, God will work it out.  Now, I know we’re human and sometimes we get upset but we have to know how to bring it back and stay connected to God. We also have to know that sometimes it’s good in what we think is bad.  For example, what if you applied for a job and didn’t get it, don’t get upset, just keep going and try again.  God may have a better plan for you.

I’m going through a situation right now and it hurts but I know when I love and trust God, He’ll take care of it and that’s how I get my peace.  Jesus said walk with the cross so in knowing that, it’s okay.  I know it’s not easy but we all go through tough times and we really have to help each other and gain strength from God.  Jesus died and sacrificed so that we may live so whatever we’re going through let’s remember that He paid the price and we have to learn how to not sweat the small stuff and if it’s a tough situation to let go and give it to God.  Also to let people be people. 

We don’t know if we’re going to make it to tomorrow so let’s treat each day as a blessing and live it according to the word so that we’re prepared for heaven and know that when our time is ended, we know where we’re going.  At the same time, have joy in the day and always know that God has a plan and always a way.
 
Amen.  Thank You Jesus and please help us all.

Hello Family,
​
Let’s follow the instructions in how The Lord asks us to pray.  He knows what we need before we ask Him.  Amen and Lord Thank You for all things and as You teach us in Matthew 6:5, let us all listen to Your words and pray together. 

5 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.
​
Amen

In life, we have to say what we mean and mean what we say.  We communicate with people all the time and when we don’t do this, we end up hurting people or allowing people not to receive the grace. (And we end up hurting ourselves as well because it puts a pause on the growth within)  I know we’re not responsible for other people lives or actions but we are responsible for what we do on our journey.  When we don’t say things direct, the message is not clear and things are misunderstood.
 
At the same time when we communicate, we have to do it out of love and pray about things because the last thing we should want to do is hurt someone.  If we’ve done that, we need to apologize to make amends with that person and learn from our mistakes.  If the other person doesn’t want to accept, it’s not on you anymore but we should still pray about the situation.  We should never think about ourselves but about The Body of Christ in how our actions will play out and at the same time, don’t let things bother us because we can’t control others.
 
We all need improvement and we all are given grace but we’re here to help one another by lifting them up not bringing them down,  When we say what we mean and mean what we say out of love, we all benefit and it gives  hope to the world.
 
Sometimes it’s hard for people to take rejection or constructive criticism but this is part of life and we all have to learn so don’t let that hold you back from doing the right thing.  The bottom line is we all need each other (God first though) whether we like it or not because God said we’re The Body of Christ.  It doesn’t matter if you’re black, white, purple or blue, we are one Body and we all are Children of God.
 
Let’s learn to help one another and do it with respect, love and kindness as well as integrity.  If you can, check out the link below that reminds us of God’s gift.

Happy Birthday to me today.  I just want to take this time to thank God for another day and to appreciate all the good that He's done for me my entire life.

I also want to thank God for helping me through all things and allowing me to grow within one day at a time.
