No matter what challenges you face, God is speaking through Abraham's experience and Obedience in the Bible - "climb" up the mountain of your oppression and meet God at the top. God WILL change your life. God is waiting on you to step out of your way and step into His way!

Life is confusing at times. Lately I hear statements and cries from people on media platforms in response to the crisis in our communities yelling out "...this is not who we are...". In response I question then qho are the multitude propagating hatred, lies and confusion? Why do some on a more subtle side feel we have all the answers? Why is it that we call on a God we don't seem willing to acknowledge in a deeper way? Why can't we collectively acknowledge the multiple brokenness systemically embedded in our nation and the world at large? In order to heal our afflictions we must bring ourselves to sincerely identify them and be willing to collectively collaborate to fix them. God is the way through Jesus if we can let Him in.

praise for Jesus through life's surprises. Jesus is always present. My mother sang this hymn so many times as O also do lately.

A reflection of life's experiences and challenges empowers us to gain deeper insights in our current and past lives that may better position us as a community for the road ahead. We may better appreciate each other across race, ethnic, social status and the many things we take for granted.

Prayer is a conversation with God conveying our concerns, hopes and requests. And as we communicate with each other exchanging concerns and thoughts the challenge in praying to God is our ability in listening to hear what God is saying to us. Many times our anticipation for God's response is heightened by our expectation and immediacy for quick answers as we expect things to be.. But God answers prayers in His appointed time. We must learn to be patient and wait on God's answer and direction.

If we were able to see God's purpose and vision for us we may choose not to go through the journey. Our experiences are only a part of the whole picture that only God can fathom. But through prayer and a strong relationship with God through Jesus we can withstand the setbacks and challenges to hold on through the process.

Remaining focused and knowledgeable of who you are lies in the depth of your relationship with Jesus our Lord and Savior.

Presenting some oncerns of young parents of color amidst issues of the pandemic, police brutality, race issues and raising a family.. It appears unless we as a society identify the underlying issues of fear on all sides effective sustainable solutions for social justice, moral decency and genuine respect for all people may be very difficult to attain.

Ever so often life experiences cause us to move away from our beliefs, loose focus, and become afraid in a changing world. If we are not careful we forget about God's never changing hands and his promises to always be there through all situations.
