“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

Many people who are constantly challenged by failure seldom realize that it is their own fault. They sabotage their circumstances because of their attitude toward life. Often they are bitter about something that happened that they never got over.

Too many people buy into the myth that life is over when they’ve been dealt a bad hand. But the truth is someone else could take the very hand you’ve been dealt, and win with it! The same man you’re thinking about leaving, the same woman you’re cheating on, the same job you’ve threatened to leave a thousand times…someone could take these same circumstances and make it work.

Happy 5th Anniversary Honey!

Today is hubby and my 5th anniversary. Time goes so slow, yet so fast. It seems much longer than that, but yet, it seems to have gone by so fast! I'm sure it has to do with the fact that we've been together for almost nine years!

Thank You Lord for giving me such a wonderful husband, a vital part of my life.
Thank You for giving us the wonderful family, Laila and Zachary to have in our care.
Thank You for the five beautiful years that you have allowed us to have, and may You allow us 50 more years together.
In Jesus' name! Amen.
