Hello everyone,

Let's thank God for giving us another day. Thank You Lord. Today is a new day with new beginnings and new life in spite of what happened yesterday or before.  We can't take back yesterday but we can make today better than yesterday by being positive, in good spirits with love and kindness.

It's very important that we organize and prioritize our day so it can be productive.  Sometimes we have many things to do but we have to learn organization to be productive in our days.  It's very easy to think about things that happened in our lives, get stressed and lose focus. Let's not let that happen but take control and allow God to give us strength.

For me, I'm a list person.  I always have a things to do list each day and it helps me get things done.  Even if it's one thing a day, at least something gets done.  I try not to put too much on myself but I prioritize my life so that I can meet deadlines.  Some days are better than other days but most of the time, I'm good.  When unexpected things happen, I have to accept the things in my life as a sign that God is working and moving me in the right direction even if it hurts.

Let's not allow bad situations to define us but accept God's grace by saying "thank you Lord"  and make it happen even through the challenges one day at a time.  If you think it will work for you, make a to do list but always have prayer on that list and some kind of appreciation for God. 

Life is what we make of it and God is here to give us joy, peace and happiness. He gives us His blessings by allowing us to awaken to a new day to share our gifts and show our character to give hope to the world.  Please know that whatever happens in the day, it's a sign of God calling us to be stronger and more wiser.  Also, please remember that our character is not defined by what happens in our lives or day but it's defined by how we handle tough situations and still stand.  Like I said before, yesterday is done and today is a new day.

Let's continue to stay in good spirits and know that we're loved by God.  He's right here with us and again, take one day at a time. 

Amen and Thank You Lord.

Each day is a new day and God gives us the freedom to do whatever we want to do with it but He teaches us how to have peace in our days. He pours His grace on us each day and night but we have to accept that to receive it.  It's very important that we look around us and see what God is doing in our lives so that we're not stressed or worried about life but feel joy in our days with whatever comes our way.

It's not healthy to be stressed and it's definitely not wise to not accept the grace or to not be positive in life.  We need motivation, determination and hope to progress in life and to be what God is calling us to be. Let's not allow anyone or anything to take that away from us.

Let's evaluate our lives and see what's stopping us from being who we need to be and refresh our relationship with God so that we can serve and be blessed with His Divine Mercy.  Don't let your tomorrow be like yesterday.

In life, we do not know what will come our way but, we must deal with it all.  In dealing with it, we can either be negative or positive.   Being negative, does not help us at all but the human or flesh side of us get mad at times and it’s okay but we just have to know how to turn that negative into a positive.  The way to do this is to feed our soul with strength and joy from God.

It’s not easy sometimes to deal with things and a lot of times our trials are tough, and it is only by the grace of God that gets us through.  I know with me, I pray every day, I gather my thoughts with God’s grace to write wisdoms or daily inspirations and I thank God every morning and night for allowing me to be here another day and awaken with a second chance to live. I also listen to gospel music and most importantly, I look at my life and all the blessings that God has done and continues to do for me, my family and others around. I thank Him all the time for His Mercy on me. I try and make Him the core of my life in how I interact with people and carry myself.  Sometimes I fall, but with His strength I get back up and begin again. We all are different and what works for me, may not work for you but look deep within yourself and see how you can feed your soul because it’s very important to have joy and be at peace. 

God protects us, strengthens us and is always there to get us through situations. He just tells us to trust Him, have faith in Him, give Him our burdens and serve even when we must pick up the cross and walk with Him. That means sometimes we must deal with pain and sometimes life is not going to be good but when we see through His lenses, we can still have joy on our journey even through the different times.

Let us feed our soul by doing whatever it takes to refresh our relationship with God, spending time with Him and in turn have a joyful mind so that we can handle trials and tribulations that we encounter. Because if we think about it, we never would have made it this far without God.

In life, we encounter various trials and tribulations.  Depending on the situation, sometimes it is tough to get through. In trying our best to get through, we call on God and at times, we don't see or hear the answers when we need to but it's very important that we trust the Good Shepherd.

​God knows what we’re dealing with but we have to remember that He knows what’s best for us and it’s at those very hard times that He carries us through.  He does hear us when we pray, and He loves us very much.  It is in those uncomfortable times that God is working in our lives. 

Please know that things will get better and in due time, He will let you know that He is in the midst of it all.  The Good Shepherd will never leave us so let us pick up the cross and walk with Him one day at a time and have peace in whatever we encounter.

Sometimes when we think we're going two steps ahead, it feels like we're going two steps backwards because the trials just keep coming and when it rains it pours.  Don't get discouraged.

God only gives us what we can handle but if we give up in the storm, we will never see the victory.  When we do things that we know are right and we don't see ourselves progressing, we're not going backward but instead  moving in the right direction.  Eventually on your journey, God will show you what He's doing in your life. 

The problem that most people have is they want things to happen so quickly but that's not good because when we work toward something, we learn to appreciate it all.  We have to be patient with God and each other by allowing Him to work in our lives to make us stronger and wiser.  

What I'm saying is don't give up because things are uncomfortable but have faith and know will full confidence that God knows what you're going through, He loves you and will never leave you.  Wipe the tears, have joy and wait on His call one day at a time. 

Amen and Thank  You Jesus

In life, God gives us second chances all the time and we all have different journeys.  It is very important that we accept God’s grace and work on ourselves each day to be better people to serve and be at peace.

The second chances that God gives to us is wonderful because He really did not have to do that, but He did and sometimes He does it over and over again.  Some people do not get as many chances and this is why it is critical that we appreciate what we encounter on our journey each day good or bad.  The bad things help us to grow and the good things are blessings.   Of course, life is not going to be good all the time but let us take it as it comes and appreciate the second chance with whatever we encounter in life.

God loves us very much and He pours His grace on us each day.  His grace could be as simple as being able to see, hear, taste, smell, walk, talk, have food, shelter, clothes and so forth.  It is right in front of us and if we can breathe, it is only by the grace of God.  We never know what tomorrow may bring but if we deal with today and be thankful for today, it is showing gratitude for what God  has done in our lives.

In knowing how to be appreciative of things and accept God’s grace and mercy, we learn to allow God to work in our lives and that makes us stronger and wiser to serve one day at a time.  Each day is a new day and we need to take that into consideration, we will find joy in our hearts and learn how to allow God to give us peace when we practice humility.
​
Let us not lose out on the wonderful blessings by God but look in front and around us to see the wonderful things that God has done and is doing in our lives.  God is good all the time so let us not waste time worrying about things but thank God for the trials. Life is what we make of it and God gives us an opportunity to follow Him so that we can be happy, have joy, be at peace and give hope to the world through all things.

Sometimes in life, we have so many things to deal with and sometimes we worry so much, get overwhelmed and stressed. 

When this happens, we have to keep hope alive and not lose faith.  It's very important that we don't take on too much at one time until we organize our lives and learn to prioritize things that we need to do.  It's only 24 hours in a day so we can only do what we can when we can anyway so let's not get stressed but learn to trust God and practice our faith. God knows what's going to happen before it happens so let go and let God.

I had a conversation today with someone who's very overwhelmed not from something she did but from something someone else did.  I had to tell her to trust God and not to worry about other people actions but deal with what she needs to deal with today and let God do the rest.

We have to know that sometimes life gets uncomfortable but we also have to know that when we get uncomfortable God is working in our lives.

Stay strong and when it gets tough, learn to find peace through God and gain strength from Him. Don't let your situations overwhelm you and get stressed but give God your burden and He will give you rest.

Thank you Lord and Amen

In life, we all go through ups and downs but the key to it all is holding on to the vine and that's God. 

We all have problems and we are trying to make it each day the best way we know how.  God knows what we're going through and we just have to hold on to gain strength in dealing with situations. Sometimes, we cause our own problems and sometimes others cause them as well. Either way, we have to know how to deal with it all.

We all have to learn wisdom in order to deal with things in life and to grow within.  We have to learn how to accept the grace that God so graciously gives to us each day.  What we're seeking is right in front of us and we just need to evaluate what we're doing and get the mess out of our lives. Now, I know it's not easy to deal with things because I'm going through something right now and it hurts and it's painful but God said "give me your burdens and I will give you rest".  You see, when we have a relationship with God, we're able to let go even through the pain.  Remember time heals.

Let me share something with you.  I just got fired from my job for doing something right and just.  It hurts because I was there for 10 years and gave 110 percent each day.  I was standing up to help them and to help us all but instead they turned against me when they knew I was  doing something right.  It's hurts to the core because we're here to love and to be an example of Jesus.  I worked in  a ministry and to see that happen to me was devastating.  At the same time, I have a God that's a loving God that holds my hand when I'm weak, that carries me when I think I'm going to fall and who gives me strength each day to live.

You see, Jesus came so that we may live, Jesus walked with the cross through pain, He died, was crucified and He rose again for all to see Gods divine mercy.  The bottom line is, there's nothing that can stop you when you are connected to the vine.  Don't get distracted when the storms come but hold on in the rain.  Always remember, when the praises go up even through the tough times, the blessings come down.

Let's allow God to continue to help us move on our journey so that we may still serve one day at a time. Pray for those who hurt you but don't let other people actions define who you are.  God has a plan and He will continue to guide you especially when you did something right and just.

When we hold on to the vine, it gives us strength to know that each day is a new day and yesterday is done.  Let's not lose faith, let's not let our tomorrow be like yesterday and let's know that we're blessed.
