Hello Beloveds, I know it has been a while since I have written a post, I've been on a sort of blog-hiatus. I've been spending time soul searching, reflecting, and in hope and eager expectation of rebuilding my new endeavors from the last chapter to my next one. After brainstorming, I had to prioritize my life-values goals and assess my life's purpose. Regardless of who or where you are one must prioritize discovering their purpose in life.

Psalms 91:1-4 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Always pack your umbrella. Umbrellas can provide coverage and protection from the sun, the wind, the rain and anything that fall on you. It could be a sudden shower or downpour accompanied by hail or wind, notice there are many types of umbrellas to suit your rain needs and climate.
