I have really been having it hard the last three months trying to keep my head above water. Hiding and running from the bill collectors and trying to keep my faith and a smile on my face. Here are a couple of scriptures that have pulled me through;Jermiah 29:11 When you need assurance, Hebrews 11:6 When you need faith and Psalm 71:20-21 When you need hope. Along with watching Eddie Long on television and surrounded myself with people with hope and love I can make it. I am here to tell you if I can you can too. God is the rock and my salvation He never gave up on me and I will not dare give up on Him!! God Blessing to you!!!!
I too been having a hard time this year..well last year of 2008. I been taking on others responsibilities and not able to take of mines. I’ve been asking God to bless me in so many ways so that I wouldn’t cause damage to my marriage. Not only that I have also been dealing with many other things that’s around my life and hope the best for others which is what a godly person suppose to do right? However, I prayed and prayed… and God placed on my heart to read Matthew 7:7-8 which is Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Through it all God still blessed me to have friends that provided spiritual wisdom and my pastor and wife that helped me through the end of 2008. Thank God! If there’s anything that anyone would like to say please feel free respond.
When your back is against the wall Spiritual Gossip is here for you. When I was down and feeling sorry for myself and constantly re thinking myself worth. I found a friend, confidant, encourager, healer, and a companion in Jesus. Once I started reading and talking with God and other believers I found myself taking back what the devil had stolen from me. I found myself re reading books like “Be Anxious for Nothing “(Paula White). The bible says there is power in the tongue; it is like a double edge sword. The tongue can hurt and heal and the mind is a constant battle field. The blog has been set up to encourage and uplift those who have fallen. We all have come short and have fallen prey to the devil and his games. But, if we do not give the devil the time or day then he has no game to play. I know that it seems easier said than done. But I am here to tell you that if my God can save me and bring me back into relationship with Him. If you just ask, seek, and knock like the word says then He can bring you back as well. We are here to encourage and help each other get the through tough times. Words have power and this website is just that. POWER IN WORDS; GODS WORDS AND WISDOM. We as Christians are here to help each other encourage each other mentor each other push each other to continue the journey no matter how tough the storm This reminds of a song that I sing all the time to keep my feet rooted “Its over now its over now the storm is over now” Hold on to the King and he will carry you through the storm. The foundation has to be laid what better foundation than that of God; the One who will never leave nor forsake you.
Understand that no matter what you are going through, you are not by yourself. Understand Its not what you go through, its how you go through it, its not what you see, its how you see it. These things in life that is called Trials tribulation is to come and make us into what God has called us to be. At time we might not like what we have to face but God knows that we are strong enough to go through them. That's why its only one of us and no other. We go through things for others, not only for other but to be able to understand the next person and to help them through their Trial tribulation , that's what we are here for. We are here to help others and to do Gods job.
God's Boxes
Prayers and reflections from an Irish web designer in Galway
I have in my hands two boxes which God gave me to hold. He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, and all your joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes both my joys and sorrows I stored. But though the gold became heavier each day The black was as light as before.
With curiosity, I opened the black, I wanted to find out why. And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole which my sorrows had fallen out by. I showed the hole to God, and mused, "I wonder where my sorrows could be." He smiled a gentle smile and said, "My child, they're all here with me." God's Boxes!
I asked God, why He gave me the boxes. Why the gold, and the black with the hole? "My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, The black is for you to let go."

The Apple of His Eye
A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air."
Well," he continued, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson.
No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value in God's eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to Him.
Psalm 17:8 states that God will keep us, "as the apple of His eye."
