At a time when I almost gave up being happy and hating myself for who I am (Imagine!), I read a story and it encouraged me, so thought to share.
A King had a male servant who, in all circumstances always said to him; My king, do not be discouraged because everything God does is perfect, no mistakes. One day, they went hunting and a wild animal attacked the king, the servant managed to kill the animal but couldn't prevent his majesty from losing a finger. Furious and without showing gratitude, the King said; if God was good, I would not have been attacked and lost one finger. The servant replied, 'despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good and everything He does is perfect, He is never wrong'. Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his servant. While being taken to prison, he told the king again, God is Good & Perfect. Another day, the king left alone for another hunt and was captured by savages who use human beings for sacrifice. On the altar, the savages found out that the king didn't have one finger in place, he was released because he was considered not "complete" to be offered to the gods. On his return to the palace, he ordered the release of his servant and said; My friend, God was really good to me. I was almost killed but for lack of a single finger, I was let go. But I have a question; If God is so good, why did He allow me to put you in prison? His servant replied; My king, if I had not been put in prison, I would have gone with you, and would have been sacrificed, because I have no missing finger. Everything God does is perfect, He is never wrong. Often we complain about life, and the negative things that happen to us, forgetting that everything happens for a purpose. God is good and perfect!!The song "It Is Well With My Soul" was written by a successful Christian lawyer Heratio Spafford,his only son died at age 4 in 1871,in 1872, the great Chicago fire wiped out his vast estate made from a successful legal career, in 1873 he sent his wife & 4 daughters over to Europe on a summer trip on the ill fated ville du Havre. Since he had a lot of work to do, he planned to follow them later.The Ship sank & he lost his 4 daughters with the wife being the only survivor,she sent him a famous telegram which simply read,SAVED ALONE.... On His return home, his Law firm was burned down and the insurance refused to pay, they said "It's An Act Of God". He had no money to pay for his house and no work, he also lost his house. Then while sitting and thinking what's happening to him, being a spiritual person, he wrote a song - whatever my Lord, you have taught me to say - It is well, it is well with my soul. My dear friend, a good attitude will determine your altitude. When you look at your life, career, job or family life, what do you say? Do you praise God? Do you blame the devil? A good attitude towards God makes Him move on your behalf. Just sit down and say, Today God, it is well with my soul, I am thankful I had a peaceful sleep, I am thankful I am alive with possibilities, I am thankful I have a roof over me, I am thankful I have a job and a successful business, I am thankful that I have Family and Friends. Above all, I am thankful that I have the Lord on my side. Be blessed and don't be envious or shocked when others are prospering because you don't know what they have been through to get there (test, trials and tribulation) so thank God for what you have. "Little is much when God is in it. It Is Well With My Soul! Have a blessed day and take control of your emotions..Trust God always with a genuine smile from within.
Wow! What a year. I count it all joy, even though there were moments the devil tried to make me believe my God had forsaken me. I thank God for renewed strength and mind for I came out victorious. I am loved! You are loved! We are all loved by Him, for He is a good good Father. His word says that what He has for us is "exceedingly abundantly" above all that we can think or ask. Now that is just amazing because we know we can think of and ask for a GREAT deal, but He promises us more than that, meaning He will wow us. With great anticipation, i look forward to what He has ahead for me in my future and i urge you to do the same. May He help us not to get in the way of anything He has planned to do in and through us. Happy holidays xxxx
“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith” (Eph. 3:16-17).
The devil is constantly trying to lie to us so we may lose faith in God. Faith is the only thing that God requires for Him to dwell in our hearts. He wants us to believe that through Christ we can do all things for real...Rather than the “fix-its” we mistakenly desire, God’s thought instead is that we would believe Him in regard to who His Son is to be in our lives. And not a “i'm just holding on” kind of faith, but an overcoming, ever-increasing, active faith in Jesus, the One God sent. This is how He dwells and lives in our hearts with power in our inner man—by Faith! Not by “pleasant” circumstances. Not by comfortable relationships. Not by having my peaceful times. No. It is BY FAITH that He can express Himself and live His life out through each of us. Believing that He is who He said He is. Sent from God; Lived in a Holy reverence and responsiveness and Love for His Father; Walked His life here sacrificially, putting others always before His own needs; Stuck by God and with God all the way to the very end without wavering or giving up or being selfish, to the very end when He finally was killed by hateful people. And then God raised Him in His body, flesh, mind, spirit and All, from the dead. He came up out of death, and God gloriously lifted Him to the heights of heaven and all authority, power, love, grace and Lordship were bestowed on Him forevermore. This is the One we believe. This is the One we trust. Let’s not hold back!
I exhort myself and whoever would listen to lift up our heads to our glorious God in heaven who is continually shining His life and love down upon us. Continually giving us opportunity upon opportunity to find Him and know Him in a special way in the “little” things in our lives. A conscious effort to turn away from sexual sin because we trust Him. Appreciating life and the blessings we see and do not see. A crossroads decision to deny myself and love someone who impinged on my so-called “rights.” Those painful moments when you should really just keep your mouth shut and reject selfishness. Lift up my head to see the One who went before us and who has provided every single need that I have. Let us trust Him and trust Him and trust Him that He will take care of us. We must determine diligently to trust in Him and love His ways no matter how much it hurts or how uncertain the future may look.Not back off or zone out or be shallow. Let’s go all the way? What have we got to lose? Nothing! His promise to us is that He would dwell in our hearts THROUGH FAITH!! Please let us not allow the enemy steal this precious gift.
A lot of us are so
lazy that we allow people deceive us and speak into our lives and say it was
God…RIDICULOUS!!! If you do not work out your salvation, the devil will lead
you to destruction. Jesus said His sheep hear His voice, meaning we have to
first be sheep in the spiritual context of the Good Shepherd. We have to follow
God, and then we will hear His voice. It is a shame because I know so many
people that have been deceived and led out of their God given destiny by so
called men of god because they are too lazy to know God for themselves, these
so called men of god will hear a little rumour then call you and tell you
nonsense about your destiny and you will listen in fear just because you refuse
to follow God..Such a big shame!! I sympathise and mourn with people like that
because they have indeed buried their destinies.
I hear from God alllll the time. He is so awesome and talks
to me every time. He also tells me when fake prophets speak to me. I hear Him
through my trials; I hear Him through preachers and teachers. I hear Him
through spiritual songs and hymns. I hear Him through reading His word, I hear
Him through fellowship and conversation with my Christian friends, I hear Him through the Holy Spirit, I hear Him
all the time. The main problem people face is the ability to hear and recognize
the voice of God, and this may lead to another problem, but you know what? God
is good all the time and even in our disobedience and ignorance he cares passionately
for us and will always find a way out for us, we just need to choose to allow Him
lead.He is tooo good! I can never turn my back on such an awesome God. The
enemy is constantly trying to distract us and steal our righteousness so we can
no longer hear from God. Be Vigilant!!! Until we comprehend who we are in
Christ, It is impossible to live a life of obedience that will enable us to
hear God’s voice. God is active all around us, He is just too awesome, even
when we fall, He is always waiting to pick us back up as long as we admit and
reach out to Him for help. He is yearning for us to corporate with Him and
delete the idea that we could do anything solely in our own strength. What a mighty God we serve…Please make it your
priority in life to seek first His Kingdom…..Have a blessed week ahead…Maamamia

Hello blessed and sanctified you, welcome to my corner. I was speaking to a
friend recently and she was so scared about the next step of her life, like what will happen after this
phase, worrying about the facts in front of her and the uncertainty of her
future and I told her to stop trying to do things in her own strength
and trust God completely, it almost made me cry because she didn't have to worry at all, all she has to do is love and trust God and He will show Himself. I also reminded her about when God came through for her last year in a difficult time. He is the same God today. It’s not always greener on the other side.
It’s greener where God places us, yes we can make plans but not in fear of
uncertainty, but in peace trusting that all will work together for our good
because we trust in the Lord. If we don’t trust in him, the first thing to
do is repent and then trust in him, he is merciful and forgives. It happens to
us all! We all have times in our lives where it feels like life is against us.
It can be shocking and scary when it seems like everything is going wrong all
at once. You thought life was great and then somehow, without even trying
– your life gets turned upside down but trust God, seek godly counsel if you feel overwhelmed. We are here for eachother.
In moments of massive uncertainty we must allow ourselves a greater perspective
than just to give up, throw in the towel and decide that life is against us.
If you trust God, He will give you double for your trouble and he will restore
you. In the end the meek shall inherit the earth, that is his promise. You
should worry if you don’t follow God and are playing with sin…you have to repent to
be able to enjoy the fullness of what God has instore for you and also enjoy yourself in the process rather than worrying for nothing. Nothing is too
small for God to handle,nothing is too hard for God….absolutely nothing. We
need to be spiritually strong and keep working on our relationship with God and we will enjoy life more.
The difference between those who trust God and those who don’t is found in how
each responds to life throwing them a trial. And trials will come. They
always do. My pastor always says-it’s either you are just coming out of
one, in one or just about to enter one.
The question is, how do you respond to the trials, the upheavals and the scary
things you didn’t see coming?
At a certain point, instead of expecting that things should go your way and
getting stressed out when they don’t – we mature. We mature to understand that
sometimes the greatest gifts are the setbacks, the moments that cause us to
freak out and the times where we feel most challenged. We understand that
life is not about comfort, but growth. And growth means that we must hold
steady amid massive uncertainty. That is real FAITH and we should never
question God.
So whenever times get tough, or I feel like life is against me, I pause and
decide that what’s happening is for my growth – rather than for my downfall.
I pay attention to what I am grateful for. I ask to be guided to the lesson I
am meant to learn – and then I choose to see everything that happens next as an
answer to my prayer.
There will be moments where you will be challenged and pushed to the limit. Our
aim should not be to avoid these moments, but rather meet them head on with
courage, faith and a mindset that is looking for the opportunity to grow.
Looking for growth will allow massive miracles to come into our lives. Finding
the opportunity to grow will allow us to find meaning in the seeming chaos and
to emerge stronger, wiser and with more gratitude for the journey.
Here’s how you can turn upheaval into growth:
1. Focus on what you already have; focus on what’s working (That's a blessing not to be taken for granted)
2. Ask for guidance; pray for revelation as to the meaning in
the chaos and peace.
3. Surrender the outcome to God.
4. Choose to see everything that’s happened as a vehicle for
growth, rather than a reason to stop.
5. Take life each day at a time. Don’t future trip. Be present
with what’s happening now and trust,trust, trust. That is when God loves to
work, when there seems to be no way.
6. Don’t get caught in fear. Keep moving, remember, live is
movement.
7. Open up and ask for help. You aren’t an island. You do
have resources; all you have to do is look for them. Get rid of pride, it
will strip you off allllll the promises God has for you.
I hope this helps with the seeming chaos of your life. If you look for it, you
will find that what’s happening is happening for your growth, not your downfall. Have a blessed week ahead and keep your mind focused on Jesus....Maamamia xxx
Dealing with a broken relationship can
be heart wrenching. You gave your all, you shared your life, you made memories
and dreamed dreams together only for it to all fall apart. The feeling can't
really be expressed but I hope these few lessons can help someone going through
a very bad breakup. It's one of the hardest things for me to write but please
be blessed.
1. IT'S OK TO CRY
Not saying you have to cry forever or
too long.lol. Breakups hurt. It's not a divorce but I believe some breakups can
feel like a divorce especially when you really gave it your ALL. It's nothing
to be ashamed off or to hide. God created you to enjoy and thrive in love that
lasts like Christ's lasting love for his bride. So feel free to feel and know
that the pain you feel points to something beautiful about your God and his
undying love for you. Hearts weren't built to be borrowed so the pain most
times is God showing us why we should always base all we do on Him and Him
alone. Cry it out, don’t hold it in.
2. DON'T REBOUND
The second most painful and most popular
mistakes after a breakup is moving on to the next too soon.So don't do this. We
must trust in God as we take healthy next steps. Affection can be an
addiction and the easiest way to find what you have missed is to rebound right
away but that will cause more pain in the long run. If we care about God, our
ex and our future partner we will wait, pray and move on patiently and
carefully. It's too easy to leave a trail of wounded people behind in our
pursuit of emotional healing. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your
future partner is to be still.
3. DON'T BLAME GOD
It can be easy to doubt, blame and question God
especially when it seemed so perfect and " God ordained" initially.
But never do that! The relationship may have been over because of character
flaws or patterns of behavior that may disqualify us for marriage with a
particular person but it does not nullify God's grace to and through you. As we let each other into our hearts, our flaws
are more likely to show up and cut the other person more deeply. Our mess is
more likely to splash onto others, and theirs on us. But whoever had done the
failing in your breakup, it wasn't God. Because of Christ, his promises never to
leave or forsake you are true every moment. If you are trusting in God for the
forgiveness of your sin and striving to follow him and his word, God has never
abandoned you and he will never abandon you. You are important just as your ex
also. His plans for you are bigger than your flaws, you just have to believe
and receive.
4. NEVER REGRET
There is a special shame and brokenness
associated with breakups. Relationships and love may be celebrated more in the
church than anywhere else because we (rightly) love marriage so much.
Unfortunately, these same convictions often make breakups an uncomfortable
conversation…at best embarrassing and at worst humiliating.
You feel like damaged goods, like you’ve
been ruined in God’s eyes or in the eyes of others. The hard-to-believe, but
beautiful truth is that broken-up you is a better
you. If in your sorrow you turn to the Lord and repent of whatever sin you
brought to this relationship, you are as precious to your heavenly Father as
you have ever been, and he is using every inch of your heartache, failure, or
regret to make you more of what he created you to be and to give you more of
what he created you to enjoy — CHRIST.
When one prize is stripped away, we can
graciously be reminded of how little we have apart from Christ and the fortune he’s purchased for us with his
blood. He has become for us wisdom for the foolish, righteousness for sinners,
sanctification for the broken, and redemption for the lost and afraid (1 Corinthians 1:30)
— and affection and security and identity for the lonely man or woman reeling
after the end of a relationship. So even in the aftermath of a breakup we have
reason to boast, as long as our boast is in everything Christ is for us (1 Corinthians 1:31).
In Jesus, God is always and only doing good
to you. There’s no circumstance facing you that he’s not engineering to give
you deep and durable life and freedom and joy. He loves our lasting joy in him
much more than he loves our temporary comfort today. He’ll make the trade any
day, and we can be glad he does. Know that God is doing
good, even when we feel worst.
5. FORGIVE YOUR EX
This is really important, for this is the
beginning of freedom. For Christians, whether it sounds appealing or not, you
will be together forever in heaven,he is your brother in Christ/
She is your sister in Christ.
While you will meet again and forever in
heaven, you may not be able to be friends on earth. And that is not necessarily
sinful. In fact, in many cases, the healthiest thing emotionally and
spiritually will be to create some space and boundaries. Hearts that have been
given away, at whatever level, need to heal and develop new expectations again.
Reconciliation does not require closeness.
It does require forgiveness and brotherly love. You
could start by praying for them, even when you can’t handle talking to them.
Pray that their faith would increase, that God would bring believing brothers
or sisters around them, that he would heal and restore their heart, that he
would make them more like Jesus.
We need to learn to live today in our
relationships, old and new, in light of our eternity together. Our patience,
kindness, and forgiveness in breakups will shine beautifully next to the
selfish, vindictive responses modeled in reality TV and adopted thoughtlessly
by the rest of the world. So FORGIVE!!! Don’t say any bad thing about them but
emphasize on the good and wish them well.
6. DEFINE THE REASON FOR THE
BREAKUP
Most of us Christians like to hide under
the “ It’s not God’s will”. What about when you started? Was it God’s will
then?
God very well may lead you to a breakup,
but don’t use him as a scapegoat. Own your own sin and ask for forgiveness
where it is needed. Then be honest about how you came to this decision, how he
made this direction clear to you. Sure, some things will be intangible, but
find the tangible factors. This is not a license to say harmful things, but
helpful things, even if they may hurt initially.
First, it’s wise not to be alone in your
opinion about the need to break up. Yes, your boyfriend or girlfriend may not
agree, but you need to share and confirm your perspective with someone who
loves Jesus and both of you. Go to someone you know can assess your heart in
wanting to get out. If it can be a married man or woman, all the better. Talk
to someone who knows what it takes to persevere in marriage, and see what they
think about your “deal-breaker(s)” in the relationship.
Our imagination, especially in an emotional
crisis, can be a lethal weapon that Satan leverages against us for evil. When
we leave everything vague and spiritual, our ex will not, and the majority of
what their mind creates will be lies from the devil to destroy them. Give them
enough information about how God led you to this decision without crushing them
or tearing them down.I say “enough” because there are lots of
true-but-unhelpful things you could say. Again, run your talking points past a
Christian brother or sister before taking them to your soon-to-be ex. In the
end, they don’t have to agree with you, but it’s loving to help them toward the
clarity and closure you’re feeling. It just may free them to grow and move
forward sooner and with fewer questions.
7. GOD KNOWS YOUR NEEDS
You’re probably questioning this in the
wake of your breakup, but God does know what you need, and he’s never too slow
to provide it. He might reveal things to you about the things you thought you
needed. Or he might simply show you how much more you need him than anything or
anyone else.
God feeds the unemployed birds of the air (Matthew 6:26). God grows the flowers of the field and
makes them beautiful, even though they’ll be cut, stomped, eaten, or frozen in
a matter of days or weeks (Matthew 6:28–30). How much more will this Father care
and provide for his blood-bought children?
When you ask for a husband, he won’t give
you a monster. When you ask for a wife, he won’t give you a mental case. Even
when it looks like he’s done you harm, he hasn’t. He loves you. He knows what’s
best for you. And all things are at his disposal. All things. And if you
continue to love him, ALL things will work together for your good.
One way God provides for us through
breakups is by making it clear…by whatever means and for whatever reason…this
relationship was not his plan for our marriage. The heart of Christian dating is looking for clarity more
than intimacy. This probably won’t taste sweet in the moment, but if you
treasure clarity, breakups won’t be all bad news. We all know some of the news
we need most is hardest for a time, but fruitful down the road.
Trust him to provide for you each day (or
year) whether you get married or not. If you do get married, know that he will
bring the imperfect man or woman you need. Trust him like that.
8. LEARN FROM LOVE LOST
One of the devil’s greatest victories in a
breakup is convincing a guy or girl, “It was all the other person’s fault, and
I’ve already arrived as a future husband or wife.” The reality is no one…
married or not….has fully arrived this side of glory. We are all flawed and filled with the Spirit, so we will
all always be learning and growing as people and spouses…. present or future.
After the emotional tidal wave has crashed
and passed, take some time alone and then with close friends to assess where
God’s carrying you…who he’s making you to be…through this. Identify an area or
areas where you want to strive to be more gracious or more discerning or more
faithful…more like Jesus…moving forward.
You won’t have many relational crossroads
more intense, personal, and specific as a breakup, so it truly is a unique time
for some hopeful, healthy introspection, checked and balanced by some other
believers. Praise God!!!
9. JESUS WILL HELP YOU FIND JOY IN THE
SHADOWS OF HEARTBREAK
When we’re left alone and feeling abandoned
by our one time best friend, it’s really hard to believe anyone knows what
we’re going through. That may even be true of the good-intentioned people
around you. It is not true of Jesus.
This Jesus came and was broken to give hope
to the broken. “A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will
not quench, until he brings justice to victory; and in his name the Gentiles
will have hope” (Matthew 12:20–21).
The joy is not in knowing that Jesus had it
hard, too. Not much comfort there. The joy is in knowing that the one who
suffered in your place died and rose again to end suffering for his saints. God
saved the world and defeated death through his suffering, and your suffering in
the midst of your walk with Jesus…in this case, in a breakup….unites you to
that victory, the greatest victory ever won. For those who hope in Jesus, all
pain….unexpected diagnosis, unfair criticism, an unwanted break up…was given an
expiration date and repurposed until then to unite us in love to our suffering
Savior.
Jesus went before the broken-hearted to
pave the way for joy in pain. We live, survive, and thrive by looking to him,
“who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross” (Hebrews 12:2).
His joy before the wrath of God against sin is our first and greatest reason to
fight for joy — not just survival — after a breakup.
If you believe that, then make the most of
this breakup, knowing God has chosen this particular path to grow and gratify
you in ways that last. No relationship you have in this life will last forever,
but the good things that happen through them in you — even through their
sorrows, yes even through their collapses — will.
I love this song….Listen and be blessed.
God bless you
God help me! I am inspired to write this post expecting that the good Lord will minister something to you.
I love the Word of God!! I just keep loving it more and more each day. Over the past couple of days i have been reading verses i have read before and the Holy Spirit has just been opening the eyes of my understanding and i want to share. There are absolutely no contradictions in God's word. One is born out of the other and if you do not seek understanding from the Holy Spirit,you won't get it when you read.
Sometimes we can have so much activity but nothing is productive. These times are real!! More than anytime, now is the time to be reading, praying, studying and witnessing to people. In
John 15:1-4 Jesus tells us that "He is the true vine and God is the vinedresser and that every branch in Him that does not bear fruit He will remove and that every branch that bears fruit He will prune, so it can bear more and more fruit. He says we are already clean because of the word He has spoken to us and that we should abide in Him and He will abide in us. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can we unless we abide in Him" this is a very powerful revealing read.
Jesus is saying to us, we can never be productive, no matter how busy and occupied we are unless we stay connected to Him. I was at a retreat last week and it blessed me beyond my imagination. What God did in my life in those few days, i cannot tell it all!
We need to constantly stay connected to the vine. Who are you listening to? Who is speaking into your life? Because you need to listen to what God says about you. He is the gardener! He is working in your life even when you are asleep. God is BIG!! He is good. He is the one that uses ALL things no matter how good or bad to eventually work together for our good. This our God! He will employ the circumstances of your life and produce fruit that will only leave you in awe.
We have to do all we know to do and more in knowing who God really is. I believe most of the trials we face are magnified because we really do not know who God is. Without knowing God , how do you expect to know what He wants you to do?
Trials are a good thing! They prove you and make you better. I remember when i was going through a tough trial in my life and one of my blessed brothers said to me " mama you are going through bootcamp and it is going to be tough but by the time you come out, you will be a strong warrior for Christ ready to face any battle" and boy was He spot on!! He was more than spot on...Everything that God has called us to do, He gives us the power to do. It is when we do not do it the way He wants us to do it but in our own strength it becomes difficult.
The way the devil is constantly seeking for a way to steal,kill and destroy is the same way God is after a manifestation in our lives. We have to be encouraged to know God is after fruit in our lives and we must be connected to Him at all times. We must guard our relationship with God jealously..do not allow the enemy steal that from you because if he steals that, he has stolen everything...The world is full of so much business, craziness and more. We must not allow the world take our connection with God...we must not. We need Him!!! He is our dependency!! Our sufficiency!! We need to confess " God i won't let anything to rob me from being in a place with You where i am connected".
This world is deceitful! Oh so deceitful in so many ways..We must pray and stay connected! Stay connected to eachother because we grow at the place of our joints. When one is down, the other can pick up. We must stay connected through His word. I don't trust my own instincts, they are deceptive..I always have to take it to God because i trust Him. We should love one another as Christians and help one another. Your success is my honour, the world has to know us by the love we have for eachother. I cannot just start with God! I have to finish with God..I want to always do what God commands because i love Him so much, i want to follow His will and not my own desires for my desires will destroy me if they are not inline with His word. We need to abide and when we abide you will see fruit, that is evidence of our abiding in Him. We need to have it pasted in our heads that there is not one element of us that is good without Christ.
You know it's funny because sometimes we may think we are in a good place with God or that we are actually abiding in Him until there is pressure, then you will be surprised at what comes out of you. Even at then He is still waiting for us to come to Him so He can refine us. He wants to help you, He wants to cleanse you. It is really when you are pressed, crushed and pushed that you know if you are connected to the vine or not. I want to be as fruitful as He intends me to be. I am not going to allow the business of my life take me away from God and i pray that as you read this you take stock of your life too. What do you spend most of your time, time that you will never get back doing??
I hope you are encouraged because that is why i have spent time writing to you, so you can be encouraged. Spend more time with Him..we have no reason to compete with eachother..don't envy, don't judge because you really do not know even when you think you know. We are all unique and special in our own ways and there is always something you can give that another doesn't have.Be willing and obedient and you will see what the Lord will do in your beautiful life. Don't just sit there, there is work to do in the kingdom for each generation has a responsibility to close evil doors that have been opened by the previous. We must focus on what God wants and not what we want...i love you all. Stay strong, stay rooted, stay grounded, stay connected to God and other Christians and you will win.
Remember that life is always going to throw stuff at you but you can make it through absolutely anything as long as you abide in the vine. No matter what the devil tries to do, he is already defeated. Have a blessed and productive week ahead and keep smiling like me.......Maamamia xxxx
