Praise the Lord for yet another day!!! He is an awesome God!!!
I give him praise for all that He has done. Yesterday I celebrated another birthday. I was determined not to let yesterday be a day where I would feel depressed. The enemy had me thinking that I had done nothing with my life. And I was turning a year older and still no husband and no kids. Basically, he wanted me to feel like a nobody. BUT God is faithful. I woke up thanking God for yet another b-day. A friend of mine took me out to eat lunch. We had a good time just reminiscing.
I feel wonderful knowing that God is on my side. And even though I don't have my all of my heart's desires I have everything I need. I have to reflect the life of the Apostle Paul and be content in every situation. I prayed today that God will help me to rest in Him and allow His peace to be in my heart. I have to trust in God's perfect timing.
I was reading in the Book of Matthew 11:28-30 earlier today. God is inviting us to cast all of our cares upon Him. Will we accept His invitation to give us rest and peace in our souls? Looking back on the past couple of months I was in a terrible state of depression. But thankfully, today God has given me peace. That's not to say that the spirit of depression doesn't try to attack me. But I have accepted God's invitation to cast my cares upon Him and in turn He will give me rest.
Psalm 3:3 But thou O Lord art a shield for me ,my glory and the lifter up of mine head.

Praise the Lord Everyone!!!!
WOW!! I can hardly believe Christmas is only ten days away. I was hoping for a white Christmas but I don't think that's going to happen. I have the day off today which is good. I will be helping my mother put up her Christmas tree. And she has mounds and mounds of decorations. I see myself staying at her house for the rest of the day.
Well that's all for right now I'll check back in later......................

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
Thanks be unto God for allowing me to see 2007. I am looking forward to spending the new year with Jesus and my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. I believe this is going to be a year of repentance. I had to examine myself. I know there are sins in my life that need to be dealt with: bad attitudes, mumbling, and complaining, failing to trust God, doubt, fear and worry. I know I will never be sinless living on this earth but I want to be more and more like Jesus. So if you feel led please pray that I will quit harboring these sins and live the life Christ intended for me to live. I will continue to pray for the Body of Christ-that we will turn from our wicked ways and seek His Face. So much is going on in the Body of Christ. And we need to pray for one another. I hope that God will Bless each and every one of you.
P.S. I challenge everyone including myself to spend more time with God in this new year. Let's pray that the Holy Spirit will shape and mold us into what He would have us to be. Let's ask the Holy Spirit to help us live a clean and holy life.
Again, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Praise the Lord Saints!!!
God is Good!! He is worthy to be praised!!!
Yes, I am thanking God for another day He has allowed me to see. I think of Him and I am amazed!!! He answered one of my prayers today regarding a family member. To God be the Glory!!!!
Even through our trials God is worthy to be praised. I finally start school tomorrow. I am somewhat excited about it. It's just one step closer to getting my degree. God knows I work hard. I work full time, and a pt-time job and will be starting school tomorrow. I hope and pray I will be able to balance my time. I don't want to get too "busy" and miss God. So I know it is going to take discipline as far as trying to manage my time. Everything on my job seems to be going well. My job is challenging so I have to constantly rely on God to help me make it through each day. Well that's all for now, I hope to check back in later...........
Psalm 34:1 I will Bless the Lord at all times His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Praise the Lord!!!!
I am glad to be here another day. However, I am a little saddened today. A guy I went to school was murdered and his funeral is this weekend. The fact that he was so young and the circumstances surrounding his death makes me even sadder. I don't know whether he was saved. I can only pray that his soul was right with God. In the area I live in the crime rate seems to keep going higher. It's not old people that are dying, but young people. This saddens me greatly. I can only pray for our young generation. There are so many temptations surrounding them daily. If you feel led please say a prayer for our young people. They are dying everday. They are dying without ever knowing Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
I am currently reading in the Book of First Samuel. This specific book of the Bible is very interesting to say the least. It was so interesting that I almost completed the whole Book!!! Hopefully, if my time allows I will be posting some things I learned from this Book and also how the Book can relate to our personal lives. I hope each and everyone of you will have a blessed day!!!!

Praise the Lord Everybody!!!!
I'm glad to be counted among the living today. It seems harder and harder to update this blog. I have been so busy in the last couple of weeks. I thank God for another opportunity to update my blog. As I stated earlier I'm reading the Book of Samuel. I amazed that God chose a shepherd boy by the name of David to lead His people. David wasn't perfect. He had his fair share of committing sins against God. But God used David inspite of his short comings. While we should not harbor sin inspite of it God can and will use His people to accomplish His purposes.
I just received my grade for my math class and I made an A. I can remember being afraid that I would fail this class. But I stayed in prayer and God enabled me to pass this class with an A!!!! Praise God for His goodness and provision!!! I am now taking an English class. I wrote my first essay yesterday. I eagerly await to find out my grade next week. If you feel led please say a prayer for me concerning my schooling. I received some of my W-2 Forms today. Hopefully, I'll be able to file my taxes soon. Well that's all for now folks!!! I hope you all have a blessed day!!!!
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Praise the Lord Saints of God!!!
He has allowed me to see another day. I am thankful and grateful unto God for His mercy and faithfulness. I am a little tired today. I worked all weekend. My sister called me shortly before work and informed me that a lady from my former church's house caught on fire. They lost everything. The lady and her family are christians and they seem to be handling things well despite their loss. The lady is one of God's faithful ones and also a prayer warrior. Thank God everyone got out of the house. The devil desired to kill them but God said "NO"!!!! I know without a shadow of a doubt that God is going to bring good out of this situation. Please keep this family in your prayers.

Praise the Lord!!!!
I am glad to be among the living today. I'm feeling an overwhelming urge to pray for the Body of Christ. I was just reading where one lady is being controlled by her pastor and church. The members have to seek the pastor before buying a house or car. It's ridiculous. Preachers are preaching strictly for monetary gain. I shouldn't be surprised. The Bible said these type of days would be among us. Christians in America seem to have it easy now. But I think things are going to start getting worse. If we have accepted Christ as our Saviour then we should have nothing to fear. The most important thing is to keep the Body of Christ in prayer. I don't post much on these forums anymore. These forums can be a blessing and then again they can lead someone astray especially a baby christian. Some of the topics on these forums are ridiculous. However, I do like updating my blog. It's kind of like an outlet for me. So I will continue my blog.
I didn't make it to church yesterday. I was SOOOOOOOOOOOO tired. Of course, I felt bad because I didn't go. I am going to try and make it to Bible Study Wednesday. Well that's all for now. I hope each and everyone of you have a Blessed day.

Praise the Lord!!!!
It's good to be alive. Things may not be going your way but make a decision to praise God anyway!!!!
Here lately I have been attacked by the enemy through my dreams. I don't want to go into much detail but these dreams have been intense. I'm praying that God will reveal to me what these dreams mean. Even when I experience these dreams I noticed that I am not afraid of the enemy. For God has given me and all his children authority and power over the enemy. We just have to learn how to appropriate (sp) that power and authority.
We as christians have to be aware of the enemy's tactic and schemes. The Bible says we shouldn't be ignorant of his devices. I'm also examining myself to see if I have some way or another "invited" these evil spirits. A couple of mornings ago God whispered to me "Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world". Then it felt like God had given me a big hug. Thank God for His comfort. I know I have nothing to fear.

Praise the Lord Everyone!!!
I'm just kinda of taking it easy today. I got off work early today. I'm also off tomorrow. I'm looking forward to resting and spending time with my family. I thank God for all of His many blessings. Earlier in my post I reported about a church member who had lost their home to a fire. The family is doing well considering the circumstances. However, they are having a hard time finding somewhere to live within their budget. Please pray with me that God will allow them to find a place that is reasonably priced. The family lost everything. Nothing could be salvaged. The good thing about it is the community has come together to help this family. Earlier this week I went to a local dept. store and purchased household items for this family. Giving and helping is one area I have asked the Lord to help me. Sometimes I can be selfish. I think well, if I help this person then I am not going to have enough to meet my needs. But once this happened I knew I had to help. I'm glad that God enabled me to help this person. Almost everyday I pray that God will put someone in my path that I can help. These verses came to my mind concerning helping and giving:
James 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked and destitute of daily food, 2:16 And one of you say unto them depart in peace be ye warmed and filled notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body what doth it profit?
This one especially spoke to my heart:
Galatians 6:10 As we have opportunity let us do good unto all men especially unto them who are of the householfd of faith.
I challenge you to pray this prayer everyday:
Father, put someone in my path today that I can help. Whether is helping someone financially or simply encouraging someone. Allow me to be a blessing to someone on today. Praying that You will receive the glory.

Praise the Lord!!!!
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!!!
There used to be time when I would be sad on Valentine's Day because I was single and didn't have a significant other. I would go to work and see women get balloons and flowers and deep down inside I was saying it must be nice. Finally, God has gotten me to the point where I am satisified with being single. Yes, I get lonley and some days I long for companionship. But I refuse to settle for just anyone. I have chosen to wait upon the Lord for that special someone. How long will it take for that special someone to find me, I don't know. I know God has someone special for me. He is preparing me for that person and He is preparing that person for me. Until that special someone comes into my life I will continue to love God with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength.

Praise the Lord!!!!
I will be moving tomorrow. I am so exhausted and stressed right now. I definetly have my work cut out for me. You never know you have so much stuff until you move. Right now I am having a hard time discerning God's voice. I don't know if it is because I am stressed. I heard two statements last week and last night. Whether it was my own thoughts or the voice of God, I'm not sure. Hopefully, when I finish moving I will be able to sit still and listen to God. Please keep me in your prayers as I make the transition to a new apartment.

Praise the Lord!!!
I have finally moved. I moved this past Saturday. I still have a few things that needs to get straighten out. My new living room furniture won't be ready for delivery until a month. So I have to make do with what I have until my new living room furniture arrives. I'm having a hard time sleeping through the night. Most nights I get up about 3:00 in the morning and I can't seem to go back to sleep. I guess I have to get used to my new surroundings. I'm praying that God will help me to sleep restfully and peacefully. Everything on my job seems to be going ok. As a matter of fact, I have to work tomorrow. Next week I don't have to attend classes because of spring break. Maybe I will get a chance to rest and fix up my apartment. Through it all God is faithful. I look forward to what He has for me in the near future. My desire is to please Him.
I'll check back with you guys later..............................
God is Good!

Praise the Lord Saints!!!!
Here's a prayer request I have posted in the prayer and praise section:
My family and I really desire your prayers on behalf of my neice. She was airlifted to a major hospital in our area last night. She has had a stroke. She's only 4 years old. Her left side is somewhat paralyzed and her speech is a little slurred. In spite of it all the doctors are amazed at her progress. She is undergoing a series of tests today. Please pray for her parents-they are upset about her prognosis. Also pray for the restoration of her left side. Pray for complete healing. Thank you in advance for your prayers. I will try to keep you guys updated.
I know God is a Healer and a Restorer. Please pray for my neice. She has brought nothing but joy into our lives since the first day she was born. I am planning sometime soon to spend time with the Lord. Lately, it seems that I have been "on the go" too much. My apartment feels like a hotel. I sleep, eat, and shower and off I go. Never really having time to spend quality time with God. As a result my spirit man is suffering. I feel there are some hindrances that is keeping me from developing a more intimate relationship with God. Please Saints of God intercede for me.

Praise the Lord!!!
Wow!!! It has been a while since I have had the chance to update this blog. Things in my life have been crazy. My four year old neice who suffered a stroke seems to be doing well. She can now walk and talk. However, she has a hard time pronouncing long words and finishing her sentences. She will have to physical and speech therapy. She goes back to the doctor on April 4th. The doctors want to operate. The main thing we pray for is that she doesn't have another stroke while awaiting sugery if they operate. This has been a very scary time for my family and me. I have been fasting and praying to God for her total and complete healing. Whoever reads this blog please keep my neice in your prayers. She is so beautiful and has brought us nothing but joy ever since God allowed her to enter into the world.
Throughout this whole deal I am not angry or upset with God. I know it is going to take God to heal her. Getting angry and upset with God will do nothing but short circuit my relationship with Him. I love God and always will. That doesn't mean that I don't wonder why this happened to my neice, I just have to trust God.

Praise the Lord!!!
Today has been a pretty good day. Lately, I have had a thirst for the Word of God. I find myself reading my Bible more than watching T.V. God has really been speaking to my spirit during the past two weeks. As some of you may know my neice has been diagnosed with a rare disease and may need surgery. It has been a very difficult time for me. I heard the Lord speak to me yesterday morning He told me to keep standing and don't complain. I was then led to read Ephesians 6. We are facing a real enemy who is seeking to devour us. The enemy wants us to focus on our problems and to doubt God. I know I have to keep standing as the Lord told me. It's not always easy. That's why I have to stay immersed in God's Word. I know God will give me the strength to stand.

Praise the Lord!!!
Can you believe it? It's already April. Where did the time go? Oh Well, let us rejoice in the days that God gives us. I'm so thankful for the sacrifice that God has made for us. He took our sins upon Himself that we may have eternal life. I think about the terrible suffering he went through, and we can barely take a headache!!! It really makes you stop and think. He was spit upon, mocked, and beaten. He was beaten so bad he barely looked like a human. Imagine the blood dripping from His hands and feet. And also the crown of thorns that was pressed into His head. He knew He had to go through this terrible suffering. But in three days He knew He would be raised to life. Aren't you glad the tomb is empty? He is now seated at the right hand of the Father interceding for us. Please remember the real reason for the Easter season: The death, burial, and resurrection of our Saviour.
P.S. Please continue to pray for my neice. She saw her doctor yesterday and they are pleased with her recovery. She has another appt. at the end of the month. Please pray that God will keep her from having another stroke. Pray that she will continue to make steady progress. Nothing is too hard for our God.

Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord!!!!
Enjoy this day God has given you!!!!

Praise the Lord!!!!
I post this blog today in remembrance of those who lost their lives in the VT shootings. My heart is heavy and sorrowful today. I found myself praying and thinking about this tragedy in the wee hours of this morning. I don't know why this disturbed person didn't seek help for his mental decline. Surely, he allowed the enemy to use him. Innocent lives were lost and others are still in the hospital. I know the big question is: Where was God in this tragedy? Well, He is where He has always been, sitting at the right hand of the Father. Jesus said that we would have trouble in this life, but to be of good cheer b/c he has overcome the world. Yes, we are going to face heartache and pain, but we must rest in God. His grace is sufficient. He will be with us in trouble. He will give us peace and comfort. I have to tell myself whatever happens, God will help me get through the difficult times if I trust Him.
I can only pray that the victims of this tragedy were saved. I pity the gunman and those who have rejected Jesus. You never know when your life will end. That's why it so important that the Gospel of Jesus Christ be preached. That's why it's important that our leaders be soul driven and not money driven. This Gospel must be preached. Paul said Woe unto me if I don't preach the Gospel. All of us can play a part in spreading the message of Jesus Christ. Let's continue to pray for the victims and their familiels. Pray for healing, restoration, and forgiveness. Remember to count your blessings each day and give God thanks.

Praise the Lord!!!
Well, I believe God has answered one of my prayers concerning a family member. I had been praying for almost 4yrs. for this family member. Talk about perserverence. It is important to keep praying no matter how long it takes for an answer to come. At one point it seemed the more I prayed the worse the situation seem to get. But yet our God is faithful and powerful.
I awoke at about 6:30 this morning. I had alot of concerns and cares that I had to bring before the Lord. I tried not to talk about these concerns not even to God. It seemed as if God was saying Get up and talk to Me. So I got up out of the bed and begin to write in my journal expressing all of my cares & concerns to the Lord. I feel a little better now. It's no use in worrying about these concerns, they're not going to do anything but cause me stress. Aren't you glad the Lord has invited us to cast our cares upon Him? Thank you Lord.

Thank God for another day. My neice finally saw her dr. on Monday. They want to postpone surgery for right now. She will be having more testing done w/in the next 30 days. This is all so hard. I would like for my sister to get a 2nd opinion, but she has opted not to. It' all in God's hands. We have to trust Him. Well, that's all I have time to post right now. I may return and post a little more.

Praise the Lord!!!
It's good to be among the living. Saints of God I really desire your prayers. I have been struggling the past couple of days. Struggling to keep running in this christian journey. I am at a point where I am tired of praying about the same things over and over again. I wish God would let me know if I am hindering my prayers being answered. I have done a self inventory. I have to admit that I have been tempted to do something that I know is wrong, all for my own personal gain. I am struggling to do the right thing when I would clearly benefit from doing the wrong thing. Am I making any sense? I feel like the Apostle Paul right about now. It's so easy to do wrong. Well, I know the Holy Spirit is speaking to me do the right thing, praying that God will help me.
My classes have ended finally. I am going to take the summer off. I will start back again in August. I want to try and get into an accelerated program. The route I am going now, it's going to take forever for me to get my degree. It's so hard b/c I am not eligible for any grants. I don't really want to get a loan, but I may have to. I'm praying that God will provide a way for me to get into this program and also provide the finances. Please saints, keep me in your prayers.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. - Galatians 6:9.
