Summer's gone, Autumn and The Presidential Election is here!

The summer came and went with a blink of an eye it seems; so now we are in autumn and it brings along it's colder mornings, shorter days and wetter afternoons.

Besides these seasonal characteristics, this autumn will also host the U.S. Presidential election. This is not like any other Presidential election before; this will be one of the most interesting/insane/frightful/_____ (insert whatever other word you can think about) elections EVER! Both contenders are the most unlikely candidates you would think would even reach this far: Donald Trump and Hilary Rodham Clinton. If you haven't started praying yet, may I suggest start praying now.

Like the falling leaves of this season; this political season may seem dreary and dismal, but we still have an Almighty Father who is in charge. There are no emergencies in heaven, no matter who wins, The LORD will still reign supreme over the greatest (and not-so-greatest) of all the world leaders. Don't lose heart, God is still in control.

Bundle up, enjoy this colorful season and hold on...it's going to be a very interesting November and future.

Summer's Here! Enjoy!!!

I am a summer girl!
I love heat and I love the summer-time.
I was born and raised in the Caribbean, so may explain why I resonate more with sunshine than winter.

It's finally looking like the summer is here to stay and I am so excited about that!
My advice to you all: enjoy it! go outside, go to the beach, the park, vacation (hello!), and the zoo (where I am going in a few hours ;-)

I am also itching to go on my next road trip (any suggestions?). For me, the road trip itself is part of the adventure, no matter what the destination may be. I think I am overdue for one of those; am thinking it's high time to go on the road...

Anyway, running out to enjoy God's beautiful warmth and sunshine. Enjoy what's left of this weekend :-)

Where Did Summer Go?

I am a product of the Caribbean.

I was born in hot climate, I was raised in hot climate and my idea of a perfect day always involves heat and the sun.

It's almost September. That means summer is almost over. Now we all know that September is the best month of the year (*Ahem, Ahem), but even so, I am saddened to see summer go. It was a mild summer to put it lightly; I cannot recall a week where it was constantly in the 80's or 90's, but this is the age we are living in. The seasons are changing faster than before, our Summer temperatures seem a lot cooler than they have been in the past, our Winters are more brutal. Is this just coincidence? Or are these weather abnormalities signs of something else.

I am always reminded of what The LORD said when He spoke about the end of time. In Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21, the disciples asked Christ for the signs of last day events. We have been forewarned about wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes in divers places, pestilences, famines and other disasters. In 2 Timothy 3:1-5, Paul described the characteristics of the church and showed the deterioration of some of those who calls themselves 'christian' in the last days.

Why did I mention those scriptural references? I am certain our erratic weather patterns, the increase of violence and crime worldwide, and the disregard for God and family values are all linked. Christ said all of these would be the beginning of sorrows, and how sorrowful our world has been lately :-(. Alas, there is more chaos in store, BUT The LORD has promised protection, comfort, guidance even as the 'earth is removed and the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea'(Psalm 46:2). Even as we see all these things happening around us, let us not loose heart but cling even tighter to Jesus.
