some dear friends of mine have a son with trisomy-18 that wasn't expected to live long enough to make it out of the hospital. but, miraculously, he lived twenty two weeks and passed away tonight.

they have another son who is three, and he said he saw a bright light at home and again when they were at the hospital. then when their baby passed, he said he saw a person with wings flying into the sky. i know that baby met Jesus tonight.

i wanted to share that with you all, because as heartbreaking as it is, it's also beautiful. that child of God was given a new body tonight & the first time he ever ran it was into Jesus's arms.

please pray for the adams family as they deal with this loss. rest in peace, chapman. 🕊️

It was always easy for me to give words of encouragement, reassurance, and validation because those were words I so desperately needed and wanted to hear. I craved testimonies from people who would help me feel like I wasn't the only one struggling, making mistakes, or doing the inner work. I desired raw depth from people who would bring peace to what I felt and thought so deeply. I held tightly to warm sincere hugs in safe places that used serenity and wisdom to replace anxiety. I longed for that person, so I became that person.

God took care of all my fears. I slept peacefully in the new house without any trouble. Praise the Lord.

NOT FORGETTEN

As I listened to “Amara Onyewem ft Pastor Jerry Eze,” the song resonated deeply within me, serving as a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness in my life. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when circumstances and situations threaten our peace and faith. However, in those moments, I am challenged to hold onto my faith, knowing that God is always in control. He sees and hears us, even in our most…

Dear Friends,

It's my sincere belief that my story is far from unique. If my experience resonates with you, I want you to know that you are not alone. If, like me, you've struggled or are struggling with intense insecurity over your salvation, fear of being left behind, not having been sincere enough, not having meant it enough, and on and on, this is the blog for you. You'll find encouragement, understanding, hope, and resources.

[The Quaker] testimony to peace is deeply rooted in our experience of God over time, and we needn’t hide that. The earliest Friends testified in the first person, not counterfactually. This was grounded in worship, not a calculation of consequences. It was part of a God-saturated life, not a policy proposal... Jesus wasn’t much of a strategist; he just loved his enemies. Maybe that’s a lesson for us.

I love making mystreet Joh and Hayden old friends of Zianna who’re about to feed Garte to their pigs. The only reason Joh doesn’t hit Garte with his cane is because Laurence asked him not to, otherwise he’d concuss the man the second they were in the same room.

YAAYYYY mystreet joh and hayden as gay southerners could literally vaporize garte with a single glance but they hold themselves back for their son's peace of mind

I’m not alone-God brought me from this place. It’s been a long journey of me not seeing or understanding and living how I wanted. I was just living and going through the motions and not thinking about my actions or my soul and He really woke me up. He woke me up and shook me out of what I was doing. And through tragedy God has shown me His love, His mercy, and His grace. I deserve none of it and yet He showered me with it. I am in no way perfect but tonight I feel like He’s shown me how far He’s brought me. That He transforms us overtime and I can see where I was and where I am now and Lord, thank you for showing me that I was falling-that I had fallen. Thank You for saving me, for loving me.

I don’t have to live in fear or shame of what others think. I also don’t have to do anything to earn His grace. I give Him my whole heart, desiring a relationship with Him.

So I can say with full assurance that I am a sinner that has been saved by grace. Jesus is my Lord and Savior who has brought me from this dry and dusty place and given life sustaining water. I am not perfect but daily His grace transforms me. My salvation rests fully and only through Him. I have made countless mistakes and have sinned more than I care to share. Yet, yet His grace His work on the cross has saved me. Has brought me to Him and saved me.

Silent Reading Everyone has a chapter of their life they'd rather not read out loud, times and testimonies they share humbly with an appropriate few, and a wisdom that only stems from a fool's experience. As tempted as we are to let those pages define or derail us, we have to remember that our story does not end there. If we repented, learned, and grew from that chapter - that's where many of our spiritual journeys began. Not a single page was a surprise to God. He used our broken pieces to not only get our attention but also to create something even more beautiful. Turn the page, keep going, and find peace in knowing that it's your plot twist that aligned you with purpose. your story is far from over, and there is no better time to revise it than now.

Proverbs Daily Reflection – December 28, 2024

Proverbs 28:1 "The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion." Good morning, readers of the Word! May God bless you, and thank you for sharing the Gospel with me. #josephmekaelpageministries

Proverbs 28:1 “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” Supporting Scriptures and Biblical Principles Psalm 27:1 (KJV):“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” Principle: Righteousness in Christ removes fear and gives boldness because we are secure in God’s…
