My Friend

I lost my friend yesterday. The Lord knows she was one in a trillion. A true friend can only be found so many times in a lifetime. This woman was a True Woman of God and she loved her husband, children, and family. There was nothing that she would not do for anyone. Her Sweet Spirit is one that makes you feel as if you have Angels in the Backfield. Now she has her wings. Though I and others may not understand things now we know the Lord has a plan. Someone told me that God does not make mistakes. Bravely she had stood against many odds and did not falter because she stood on Christ word and knew she would get to the other side. When we speak of unsung heros this is one case that is such. Her many times of looking adversity in the face and speaking to her mountain that God so galiently moved. She kept the Faith and continued Gods work. Her husband and children were her priorities and there was nothing too big or too small. She loved all that she met never uttering a unkind word to anyone.

I admired her for her courage and cunning. My friend was a great prayer warrior, a great confidant, a great Mom, and wife. I could continue on and on because she deserves so much. But in all this tradgedy and hurt for us all her children, husband, and family we know we must keep praying. That is what she always told me just pray and the Lord will see you through this. Her compassion was unassuming and her Grace so great. I am glad to call her my friend.

Learning and Going Forward

Today is one of a epiphany if you will. The Lord is something he keeps speaking and you have no choice but to listen. The days go by quickly and it all seems like a big blur but each day that passes holds a greater meaning to me than yesterday. I marvel at all that has been done in my life and I can't stop thanking God for all his blessings. There is a renewed faith and I am continuing to see the divine appointments the Lord is making in my life. I just have to keep trusting him.
I am very excited today as the Lord continues to shine down and know my heart. He knows the desires of my heart and that is comforting. I have been so humbled by things that I have seen and heard till it amazes me just to think of what I had been missing out on all this time. There are dreams that people have and especially our young people that need to be nurtured and realized for them. God is the answer. The young people of today go through so much because children of today are not like children of yesterday. There is so much lacking in some homes and most children don't seem to understand that they should thank the Lord for what they have no matter how small. The tragedies of the world are now riding on training wheels because as parents we have not paid attention and gave up the time necessary to listen to that child. There is no easy answer and the struggles one must go through to provide a decent home has gotten ten times harder. The things that we took for granted before high gas prices and food cost we no longer look at the same.
So the moral to all of this is times are changing and we must change with them. The responsibilities are still the same but amplified by daily conditions. The choices we make today shapes our tomorrows. As men and women our stance that we take for ourselves and others must count and go beyond just being here to live we must all make a difference in some way and that by far can take us on a greater high.
