"Be joyful in hope and patient in affliction..."

While walking to get a taxi this morning God gives me a word and it was this "Be joyful in hope and patient in affliction" this sentence was literally ringing in my ear. I didn't understand it and then when I get to work my husband sent me a message that is basically a notice he received from his boss and it wasn't a good one.  As I went about my work this words kept coming back to me and I typed up the words in the search thingy on Google and low and behold that words is from a scripture in the Bible, it is Romans 12:12 "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." I needed to read the last part "faithful in prayer" 


I want to to encourage you with this word this morning "be joyful in hope" who is our hope? it is Jesus, "be patient in affliction", do not ask God to remove your trial or your tribulation ask him to strengthen you in the midst of it, "be faithful, stay constant in prayer" keep on praying even if you don't know what to say just say "Lord you know my heart, take control". Nehemiah 8:10 "The JOY of the Lord is my strength" I am meditating on this verse for the week and I tell you it has been my source of strength.

I can choose to be angry and I can choose to be miserable today, but it will not change our situation so instead I will praise God for this obstacle and I will put my trust in Him for I know God is faithful and He deserve the glory and the honor and I will lift my hands in worship and I will bless His holy name, because He is great and mighty and He will deliver us form this trial in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen!!

I choose today to put my trust in God and I will bless the ones who does harm to me and my family I choose to distance myself from them but I will keep on praying for them.

God opens doors that no man can shut and He closes doors that no man can open and instead of seeing your closed door as an ending see it as a new beginning for God to do greater things in and through your life!

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of your today as you rest in His love and peace and in His Joy! In Jesus name, Amen!!

In His Love

My 2018 Lessons learned..

Tonight I have so much joy in my heart, as I reflect on this year. We have had so many setbacks yet God ordained our come back. We are on the verge of entering a new season and I am so expectant within my spirit. I cannot contain the excitement. This year has taught to love my family, my husband, my kids and my mother and not forgetting my Bestie Bianca. These were the ones who stood by me this year when I was down and out they picked up. My best friend has been a sister to me in word and deed God has strengthened our relationship so much. The ones whom I thought were my sisters they fell by the way side and made me wiser. Life showed me who will show up and support me. Through all of our setbacks and trials I have learned to trust in Jesus more and less on man. GOD HAS allowed me to accept the things I cannot change and accept people for who they are. GOD has taught me to forgive quickly and continue to pray for the ones who persecute me and cause me harm, God has taught ...

He works all things out...

And just like that my life has changed, from dreaming of becoming a Teacher and having my own class things changed just like that. I survived my first full week at school. Days of preparation and laying of foundation. As I sit and type these notes, my heart is so full. I am filled with immense gratitude to God for paving the way for me. I work with the most amazing colleagues who have the love of education rooted deep within them. The lesson I learned this week is that preparation is key, if I want my day to flow the next day, I need to prepare the day before so that I can get everything done. When one has had so many trials along the path of life it's hard to believe that relief is here and that it's just teething process we have to get through now. God does give you the desires of your heart when you trust Him to do so. When we submit our plans to Him, He works out a perfect plan  for us. He promises in His word that He will work all things out for our good (Romans...
