Praising the Lord is how we wanted to start our day. I want to take this time to pray and thank my heavenly father for all that I am and all that he gives me and my family... I have prayed for understanding for so long and all I ever wanted was to be able to give a word to another person that needed to hear what the Lord has us here for. You know I felt that I would never get to a place where I would be able to understand the bible or it's contents in it...Better yet, put it to use and be able to try to live by it.. We are a generation that really are a repeaing from our ancestors.. We feel entitled to everything that we want. Instead of being grateful for the things we already have. Our families before us suffer to give us the things that were important and needed in our lives but today we teach our children to seek for materialistic things and not the things that are needed like Christ in their lives... The significance of loving......
On that note I want to share what I learn in church today. I have not gone to church in a couple of sundays but, I do keep up with the sermons online. One of the beauties of today's technologies... The pastor spoke about the wounded warrior. This whole months series has been about warriors in the bible...Today was dedicated to the men ..
He has made a statement that really hit home in many families today.. There is so many children growing up in a single family home and what we are not realizing is that we are training our kids to be single parents as well. Men are often not present in their childrens lives. Because of this the mother has no choice but to raise her child the best way she can... A man child needs to be raise by a man.. As strong as we are we are still not men. We can not teach a boy about the things that they go through simply because we have not gone through it.. Example a father can not teach his daugther about her monthly visitor and the need for pads or even how to use a tampon because he has not gone through this. He has no experience in it. He has no idea how any of this works with the exception of what he may hear. Men are important in a young man's life. Our hurts is spill over to our children... Their was a quote my pastor said that stuck to me. He said and I quote " Hurt people tend to hurt people".. It took me a while to understand it but I did. If you are carrying a hurt from someone in your past specially from your father you tend to past that hurt to your child. You have to learn to forgive that person for whatever reason they were not there and hope that your time with your child is well spent and remebered. Your teachings will be remembered by your child and will be used in the future generations to come.. Tell your kids you loved them, tell them that you are proud and tell them that you believe in them....
Living life with God on my side and the challenges of today.....

Nothing to say except I love you....
Hello everyone. I hope this brief message finds you all in good health and spirit. It has been a long wek and een though I have nothing interesting to say.... There is much to be grateful for. I have my health, my family and a job . I have strength to live another day and still have stength to continue our spiritual fight....
This week we had the privilidge to visit a good friends of our.His wife was put in a home a while ago and she had surgery a fw days ago with her kidneys... Her percentage at the time was 70 and now it is 7. So they are preparing for her homecoming to the Lord... He had asked my husband if he can visit and sit with them and sing some spiritual songs to comfort the family.... We went over and had a wonderful time. We were just sadden for what is to come, but it was wonderful to see how this family has loved each other for so long and how they are trying to be strong for one another... I can only ask for prayers for them and hope that God sends them the comforter when their time come to depart from their loved one... In closing I am going to include an incerpt from the bible.. It is Isaiah 40:26-31 and it reads...
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Just another Day.............
Hello my fellow brothers and sisters. I hope my brief message finds you in good spirit and great health.
My life the last few weeks have been too much to handle. But God on my side I was able to survive. As I had told you before my grandmother had been sick, shortly after she passed on and we had the funeral. We have been trying to adjust with that. To change matters a fellow friend's mother past as well. I have seen to much death. Although we should not be afraid of death but welcome it as another chapter of our lives, we can not help but feel a little compelled about it. I just have had to much of it at one time.
I was listening to a series of sermons that were posted on my church's website, and they were all about marriages. The good ones and the bad ones. One ting that I found out is that statistically in today's world we are setup to fail in our marriages than to succeed. The divorce rate is higher than it has ever been and the lengths of a marriage is shorter and shorter by the decade. There are so many children left with two homes instead of one and what we do not realize is that we are passing all the negatives to our children. We are basically saying its ok to not try to work things out in a marriage. I use to think that once you are married you were basically stuck and happiness did not matter. As a married person my individual emotions and dreams did not have meaning anymore but in fact, its the total opposite. I am not going to lie to you and tell you that it is easy. It is about the hardest thing that you will do in life. But it is a beautiful thing. It is what God wanted for us. It's the reason he made Eve for Adam.
