I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has called, sent cards, & prayed for me for the last couple of weeks. I am doing well & praising God for His love, strength, & His powerful Word! This community is amazing & always willing to reach out to help & touch those who need it.
My family & church has been a constant source of love & encouragement to me, & for that I am so thankful!
Of course, going through difficult things in our life is never easy! We all wish we or our loved ones did not have to face some things that we do.
However, I do believe with all my heart that no matter what we may face in this life that it never changes God, His Word, or His will for our lives! He is the same & He is always faithful to His people.
Our job is to stay connected with Him & allow Him to strengthen & help us through the things we do have to go through. When we do that, I believe we will come out stronger on the other side of the situation. We are not responsible for God’s part! He has already done His part! We just need to do our part.
Remember this, “Life is 10% what happens to us & 90 % how we respond to what happens to us !”

Family Matters - Buffalo Express
I am so thankful for God and His Word!! Even in times when there are troubles we are facing, God and His Word is still the same. Isaiah 26:3 says, He will keep us in perfect peace when our mind is stayed on Him.
You may be thinking, “My life is anything but peaceful right now! There are things going on in my family, in my health, in my finances and I don’t know what to do about it!“
I have flown several times when while in the air, we experienced what we call turbulence. But, praise the Lord, we didn’t crash! Remember, just because you are going through some things that may be shaking you up right now doesn’t mean you are done for!
During times when we begin to worry or fret, we need to stop, take a step back and refocus on God’s Word.
There is a way to have peace right in the middle of our storms!! God will give His perfect peace but, our part is to keep our focus on Him and His Word and continue to trust in Him regardless how shaky things may get!
