Hello beloveds and dear readers, thinking about you and wanted to share a word of encouragement to you. I pray during these difficult and troublesome times you are leaning on the Lord. The uplifting news is He won't let you down. The Lord is your strong tower, the righteous runneth into it, and is safe (Proverbs 18:10). In this season we are in is a place we have never been before, it's called "Uncharted territory". Uncharted territory is a new and unknown place, a place of uncertainty, a place where one would not voluntarily go. In the 1960's television series classic "Lost in Space", the Robinson family along with their robot left earth on a mission and landed in the place of uncertainty. To say the least, the Robinson family was shipwrecked due to the termination of their disastrous voyage that left them hopelessly lost in space. You and I may not be on a remarkable voyage navigating around the world; however a new scene of extreme circumstances and challenges have navigated the normalcy of our lives. One way or another we all have been impacted by the waves of Covid-19. I realize this can be disheartening however hang tight, don't allow the crest of the waves of the Covid-19 make you fall into the raging waters of discouragement and depression. Fear not for I am with you, be not dismayed for I am your God; I will strengthen you; I will help you Isaiah 41:10. Covid-19 will Pass Over.  

If you look at the world you be distressed, if you look within you'll be depressed, if you look at God you'll be at rest. - Corrie Ten Boom

 Let not your hope drift on the sea of despair during this period. Try to stay as optimistic as possible and not let the waves of your emotions caused you to fear. We know that fear is a human response to situations we cannot control, in any case if we stroll around in fear, we walk powerless to change our circumstances. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love and self-control. We can and will rise above this pandemic. According to Hebrew 6:19 it states "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It’s a good reminder that we have a sure hope in the Lord. By definition an anchor on a boat is a very heavy iron weight sank into the water to hold the boat in place. The Word of God is our anchor that holds and keeps us. God will hold and keep us as we pass over and through this storm.

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God. Psalm 146:5







Love & Blessings!!!

God is the Architect

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. Psalm 57:2 (AMP) says, I cry out to God Most High, who accomplishes all things on my behalf for He completes my purposes. We must trust God's divine plan and let Him be our guide knowing God is the Chief Architect and Master Builder of everything. God will take us through construction sites to shape us for His purposes. God sees the big picture. He knows the plans that He has for us, He has a specific plan for each one of us. God’s plan for our life must be consulted with the chief architect, God Himself; the designer, and...

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. Whatever type of umbrella you utilize to accommodate your need, it does not stop the rain from falling however it will offer you the coverage you require. Choose to be under God's umbrella of protection and He will cover you with His feathers and under His wings you may s...

Today's Reflection-Wounds of Gossip

-
Once upon a time, an old man spread rumors that his neighbor was a thief. As a result, the young man was arrested and put behind bars for no fault of his own. Days later, the poor man was proven innocent. After being released, he sued the old man for wrongly accusing him.  In court, the old man told the judge, ‘ They were just random comments, they did not harm anyone.’ The judge, before passing sentence on the case, told the old man,  ‘write all the bad things you said about him on a piece of paper. Cut it up into little pieces and on the way home, throw the pieces of paper out of your car window. Tomorrow, you come back to hear the sentence.’   The next day, the judge told the old man,  ‘Before receiving the sentence, I want you to go out and gather up all the pieces of paper that you threw out of your car window yesterday.  The old man said,  ‘I cannot do that. The wind spread them all over the place and I will not know where to find them . "Then th...
