By HIS Grace

Hello Friends I am so excited to share with you that I will be returning to blogging; New look, encouraging testimonies and another level of transparency!!! I can't wait to hear from all of you. Chat with you soon.

When I grab those moments to really reflect on all that the Lord has done and given me, I am brought to my knees every time to a prostrate position of humbleness and gratitude.  Long before I decided to walk with the Lord, He was there; being a father, providing for me and keeping me safe in His arms.  When I made the decision to not be a victim of life, I learned how to take responsibility, not for the things that others did to me, but for my reaction to those things.  I didn't always know how to do that, but I was determine to not let life have its way with me, but rather me have my way with life; enjoying it, experiencing it and living in it (and not dead to it).  The Lord has given me so much, not just tangible and financial blessings, those things can become temporary.

I didn't, not at all!  Growing up, I had dreams and aspirations like any other kid, but the reality of my life over-shadowed those dreams.  As an adult today, I understand that opportunity is available to all of us, however, because of what the reality of our life may be in that moment or season, you don't always recognize the opportunity, know what to do with that opportunity or even believe that you can have it.  Life turns out differently for everyone.  My life was different before I welcomed the Lord into my life, much of it was hard-knocks.  Not knowing how to deal with disappointment, hurt and rejection; I rebelled, I took situations and matters into my own hands and my mindset was, "I can take c...
