I -Pad Air, I won, I won!

 Hi Bloggers, 

It has been a while since you have heard from me. We'll I have been through quite a bit. First My computer died after 12 years.  Second I've been in the hospital but I am doing very well now, praise the name of the living God!!  Lastly my dear sweet brother passed away.  But God heals our sorrow and gives us strength during our grief.

I prayed and asked God to bless me with a I Pad and He did. I entered a raffle drawing hosted by one of my favorite vendors Suzanne's Specialties and I won an Apple I-Pad Air at the 2014 Natural Products Expo West. Suzanne's Specialties has been around since 1984 creating the best organic & vegan sweeteners.  I love their strawberry fruit spread because it is thick enough to enjoy the fruit - you see the chunks, but it is supple enough to spread on anything without without tearing.

I decided to donate my desk top computer to my church, and they had it fixed enough to be able to use it in the church office.  Now I will be able to Blog more frequently again now because of my wonderful new tech gadget.  I just love my I-Pad Air. 

I am grateful that I have so many prayer warriors in my life and that God's grace is sufficient.  My doctor told me that I would be able to travel for my brother's funeral not long after my operation.  So it has been quite a year. 

I am speaking perfect health into my life so that said, I am looking forward to attending the NPEW in California in early 2015. And very much looking forward to meeting many of you there in March, by God's grace.

Many blessings to you all!

In good times and bad

God is called by many names. He is the Lord our Healer, our Provider, our Banner and our Righteousness. He also promised to be our Deliverer. In this troubled world, that may well be what we need Him to be most often. But there are many believers who never wxperience God's mighty delivering power, because instead of walking closely with Him day by day, they wait until danger strikes and then they call on Him. That just doesn't work. If you want God to rescue you in the bad times, you must fellowship with Him in the good times. Why? Because God respons to faith in Him at all times. Our faith, not our need, is what causes Him to act on our behalf. We will never be able to develop that kind of faith, and trust and confidence in Him if we do not spend time with Him in prayer and reading His Word. Reading His Word the Bible and praying  that is how you get to know Him.
In First John 3:20-22 it tells us that we will have confidence toward God when we do the the things that are pleasing in His sight. If we only serve God half heartedly, then we will not have confidence in Him to believe in Him to deliver us from trouble. When danger surrounds us, instead of being filled with faith, we will find ourselves paralyzed with fear. Get to know God through His word so you can call on Him in your time of need. God cares for you and He loves you. If you have tried everything else and it has failed you, I ask you to try Jesus God's Son. Read the Bible and see just what Jesus can and will do for you if you only believe.

God Bless untill next time.
