November...Already!

In some ways, this year has gone by slowly.

In other ways, this year has gone by too quickly! I can't believe it's November already!! 2015 is on the verge of bowing out and 2016 is just around the corner.

It has been unseasonably warm the last few weeks (and I am LOVING IT), but the snow and the holiday season will be here before you know it.

As we draw closer to another Thanksgiving, don't wait until that day to show your thanks and appreciation to your family, friends and loved ones...just my thought.

And, since I have suggested it, let me start by saying 'Thanks to GOD for His lovingkindness and granting me safe travels to and from work today. Praise the LORD for His faithfulness!!'

Start giving thanks today! 

Thanks and Praise!

Praise God!

Last week was a rough week. I was tested spiritually and had to cling to hope and trust in the midst of my trials. I am happy that the LORD answered my prayers in His time AND earlier than I thought! In the end, I praise The LORD for the trials! I am truly thankful for all the tests because I had to lean on His Word and on His promises like never before. It is true, you find out more about yourself and more about how much you trust the LORD when everything in your life has been turned upside down. It is in these moments, {I believe} The LORD helps you grow the most!

God's faithfulness is AWESOME! Despite whatever trials we go through, HE is always faithful and by our sides. Let's look at our friend Job. Job was upright and righteous before The LORD, but consequently, hated by the enemy. Satan tried everything he could to get Job to 'curse God and die', but despite it all, he continued to trust in His Heavenly Father. We must do the same. Although we do not understand some of the trials that come our way (because let's face it, some times we cause some headaches in our own lives!), when they do come, we must look to the hills from whence comes our help. Keep on praying, keep on pleading, keep on studying, keep on sharing, keep on holding on to The One who will never leave you nor forsake you.
