Keeping the Faith

                I am so thankful to what God is doing for the family and me. It is hard, at times, when you are going to school, working three jobs, and pursuing your dreams. At times, I want to give up and just throw in the towel, but God; am giving me the strength to do what I have to do to support my family.  As I go from day to day, I rejoice just knowing that God is my strength and my redeemer. He is the reason for who I am today. The joy of the Lord is my strength. I share this because I get excited when I face opposition that try to take me down. I love this scripture; “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”Proverbs 3:5. I know that I want to just break free and say no more, but I know that my family comes first. I thank God for them because when I want to throw in the towel I remember the scripture that say I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I reflect on my children where the scriptures say that a man should leave an inheritance to his children’s, children. And then I am reminded of this scripture;^” Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.”Proverbs 16:3 I can do nothing, but to hold on and just trust God to continue to lead me as I continue my journey to spiritual, physical, emotionally, and financially success. What also keep me focused are my dreams and hopes. Good aspirations are always good because you think of them in the beginning, the middle, and the end of the day. Yeah, we all have the oppositions that try to steal our hope for tomorrow, but I am just thankful that we serve a God that will cover us all the way to the end. My family is worth every bit of my struggle just so that they can have and not be without. With opposition, it is either do or dies and in my case, I choose to do. After all, faith without works is dead. Amen!
