No Place Like Home!

Last week, I was able to go home (Slidell and Franklinton) to visit my family and friends for the first time since I moved to Phoenix ten months ago.  It was truly a blessing to be able to go and I enjoyed every second of it! Along with spending time with some of my family and friends, the next best thing was the good "home cooked" food!  I had everything I wished for and more (pot roast, red beans, pigs feet-corn-potatoes, greens and cornbread, gumbo, pound cake, chitterlings/aka chittlins, homemade breakfast, etc.)! I am truly thankful for my family and friends and all the love I received. Your love gives me strength to continue my journey! I am also thankful for the opportunity to have been able to go back home to visit. There is truly NO PLACE LIKE HOME! Even though I was there for a week, the time seemed to pass by so quickly! I miss my family and friends! I wished I could have stayed longer. However, I had to return to Phoenix for God to finish what He started! On today, I received a text with a message God gave someone to give me.  Once again God was reminding me that He has not forgotten His promises to me.  He then reminded me with a song that "It's Not Over (When God Is In It)".  I AM HIS!

Staying focused!

This time last year, I was just returning home after having to have an emergency surgery (Nov.9th) from an issue I had been dealing with for a while. I was scheduled to have surgery at a later date, but God intervened and it happened in His own timing and His own way! I was believing God for a supernatural healing and that's exactly what He did.  Reflecting over the past year, God's timing and ways have continuously amazed me.  I'm in constant awe!  Even when we don't see, God sees what He promised us! (Thanks to Pastor Mason for reminding us of that tonight!) I just have to keep my focus on His promises! I am His!
