WISDOM

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck , write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.

Dear sisters and brothers in Christ...these are words to live by...we can only be blessed when we take heed and begin to practice what the word says to us.

There is much talk , fear and concern about what is happening in this country's economy; let's keep in mind that our survival is never dependent upon what is going on around us...but what our Father has promised to all who walk in the Spirit and not mind the things of the flesh. He is faithful to keep His promises...He is our Source.

I have experienced loss, humiliation, frustration, fear and anger...to name a few; but my Lord spoke to me and reminded me that His grace is sufficient, that He is still in charge and that He is still concerned about everything that concerns me.

I know that He has no respector of persons. He's our Father and loves us unconditionally. Let us be encouraged to depend upon Him...to share our blessings with others and testify of His goodness. Let's praise Him at all times...He is worthy.

SHARING TO ENCOURAGE

It's no doubt in my mind that we who are Christian parents have experienced many challenges that were all but 'failing.' Many of us can look back and realize that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ covered us with His cloak of Grace and Mercy...in just the nick of time...He lifted us to safety and soundness of mind. I praise Him!!!

I am happy to share this testimony with you all... every day I realize that I'm an overcomer because I share the goodness of the Lord...testifying of His glory, His goodness, His compassion, the joy and peace that He pours into my heart. Nothing...yes, 'no thing' can come near to comparison. My God IS AWESOME!!!

TESTIMONY: MIRACULOUS VISIT

My son, Kofi Mandela Martin, whom had no physical contact with his biological father for 22 years...was blessed to finally meet and visit with him during the month of July. This meeting and visit was an answer to my prayer... as well as desires of Kofi and his father.

Regardless of the situation that separated Kofi and his father; I purposed in my heart to maintain a civil relationship with him and to make sure that Kofi knew of him. This was a challenge for my flesh...there was much bitterness to overcome and there were many teary-eyed days and nights, also fear of failure as an older mother. Prayer, faith and patience brought me through. I praise the Lord for His love, grace, long-suffering, and mercy.

Jesus brought me and my son through many challenges. He and his father had a great visit and the three of us have found an abundance of peace. All is well. AMEN!!!
