Good Evening 9/21/2018

How is everyone? I am well, thank you. Just wanted to let you know I am still trying recover from from John's death. It has been difficult getting my life back together. I'll save that for myself though. I don't want to bore you, lol. Have a great day.

May you walk with the LORD always, and when you cannot take another step, may He carry you the rest of the way until you can walk along side Him again.

Let Us Pray

It is a time of hurricanes, fires, diabetes, cancers, and many more things requiring prayers to our Wonderful God Almighty who is able and true. He has answered all of my prayers. Not that I've liked all the answers, but He is faithful to answer.

Dear Father God,

I thank You for Your great sacrifice of Jesus Christ Your Son. Thank You.

Please help the people on the shores of the Carolinas and inland. There is much flooding, and they need Your help. There is no government that can do what You can do!

Thank You for being there for Lance during his operation Thursday morning as well as his bride, Janet. Please guide them and comfort them. Ease their pains and anxieties. Be their great Comforter.

I pray Lord that all the oxygen would go out of all the fires here in California. Please put them out.

God, I also pray for our government along with the politicians involved. Please convict their hearts to do the right things for this wonderful country you have blessed us with. Bless them also, and protect them please.

Last and most definitely not least, I want to pray for Pastor Dave Delaney of First Baptist Church of Long Beach; and Pastor Kirk Beard and former Pastor Rick Patterson of Crossroads Baptist Church of Hemet California. I have been very blessed with these wonderful men as pastors in my life.

Lord, I pray You would lift them up above their enemies, and put a hedge of protection around them. They bear much, ask for little, and give so much. Please grant them Your peace which this world does not understand.

I love You, God. Thank You for prayers already answered. You are an awesome God!

In Jesus' precious name I pray. Amen.

May you walk with the LORD always, and when you cannot take another step, may He carry you the rest of the way until you can walk along side Him again.

The Vacation Lesson

Back in 2012 when I became homeless, I started keeping a journal which turned into several journals as life kept right on happening whether I was participating or not. I decided I must draw closer to God. I thought I had, but I was so lost.

Someday I will discuss my journals, but this blog has also been sort of my journal as well. Many of us would agree that life is a journey.

For about a month and a half I took a vacation away from my journey, and it really shows. I don't like it when that happens.

My mother came to visit. It was a good visit. She stayed about a month and a half. I stopped everything for this visit, because I haven't seen her for 25 years. Ya know, don't stop studying the word of God no matter what. Even my mom will tell you that.

The problem is that I didn't even realize I had done so. I was still going to Church, but I had somehow shut down inside to make sure everything was perfect for a someone I don't really know. It was difficult but good.

Anyway, my lesson is learned...Again! Since God is in control, acknowledge Him! Keep up the studies. The rest should just fall into place. I guess we just try too hard to please our loved ones. Well, I thought I did.

Anywho, have a great night. I will be back to writing shortly. :)

May you walk with the LORD always, and when you cannot take another step, may He carry you the rest of the way until you can walk along side Him again.
