There are times in our life when we are on the boat and we wait for our promise from God. We sometimes think God forgets about us but in truth he remember us in his timing .”Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark.”
Genesis 8:1 NKJV)Thoughts that don’t come from God may come creeping in .You may be thinking God is taking long but he on time. Noah sent out a raven to see if there was land again. How many of us would have stopped after the first try?We would probably put our feet in the water but take it out quickly if not our comfortable temperature.
Noah tried again but this time with
a dove. There was no results again. By now most would get frustrated.The devil would send doubts to our head and silly us would let it
creep into our head,causing us to believe God is not with us.
Noah realize it was not the appointed time for the promise given by God. Noah waited again. He waited seven days before sending the dove out again,which did not return to him again. Sometimes you feel you did the works of God and was obedience ,yet you don’t see fruits growing .So you feel “still”.God is working on your behalf. “Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked,and indeed the surface of the ground was dry.”(Genesis 8:13) There times when things are covering your view,you just need to take them off to see. God spoke to Noah. Noah was able to see the promise from God.
It not so much the signal but faith?How big is your faith ?

When you don’t feel like praying that’s the time you should pray.
When you don’t feel like worshiping God that’s the time you should worship Him and praise Him.
When you don’t feel like thanking God that’s the time you should be thanking Him and being the most grateful.
You shouldn’t let your feeling be God over your life. You should be in charge of your feelings not your feelings in charge of you.
It’s doesn’t matter how you feel. Still open your bibles and encourage yourself in the Lord today and gain the knowledge of God you need to face this day.
Don’t live by your feelings because there temporary you can feel million ways everyday. Your feelings change all the time.

What happens once you kill yourself? Because I'm ready to go.
You wanna know what happens once you kill yourself? Your mother comes home from work and finds her baby dead and she screams and runs over to you and tries to get you to wake up but you won’t and she keeps screaming and shaking you and her tears are dripping onto your face and your dad hears all the screaming and runs into the room and he can’t even speak because the child that he loved and the child that he watched grow up is gone forever and finally your little sister runs into the room to see what all the fuss is about and she sees you dead. The person she looked up to and loved. The person she bragged about to her friends, the person she wanted to be just like when she grew up, the person that made her feel safe. But she’s never really going to get to grow up and smile and laugh and love because she’ll always be consumed with this feeling of missing you. And now there’s something missing from your family and they can barely look at each other anymore because everything reminds them of you but you’re gone and hurts more than anything. and you think that your mom never cared because she was always busy and yelling at you to finish your homework and clean your room and forgot to say I love you sometimes but really, she loved you more than anything and she doesn’t leave the house anymore, she can’t even get out of bed and she’s getting thinner and thinner because it’s too hard to eat. Your father had to quit his job and he doesn’t sleep anymore, every time he closes his eyes he sees his baby dead, and the image never goes away no matter how much alcohol he drinks. And at school your best friend sees that your seat is empty and she gets this sick feeling in her stomach and that’s when she hears the announcement. You killed yourself. And suddenly she’s screaming and crying in the middle of class and no one even bothers comforting because they’re all busy sitting there staring at your empty seat with tears dripping down their cheeks and all she wants is for you to hug her and tell her it’s gonna be okay like you always did, but this time, you’re not there to do it, everything is dark now that you’re gone and her grades are slipping, she barely goes to school anymore and she ended up in hospital after taking too many pills because she wanted to see you again. the girls who used to make fun of the way you dressed feel their throats get tight, they don’t talk to each other anymore, they don’t talk to anyone, they’re all in therapy trying so hard not to blame themselves but nothing works. and your teacher who always gave you a hard time stares blankly at the wall, she quits her job a few days later. And then your boyfriend hears the news and he can’t breathe, he still calls you a lot just to hear your voice and he talks to you on facebook but you never message him back, he can’t fall in love again because every girl he meets reminds him of you, he’s never going to get over you, he loved you and he cries himself to sleep every night, hating himself and slicing his skin because he couldn’t save you and he’s never going to hold you in his arms or hear you laugh again. Now everyone who knew you, whether they were a big part of your life or someone you passed in the hallway a few times a week, they carry this aching feeling around inside them because you’re gone, and they miss you, and they don’t know why you left but it must’ve been their fault and they should’ve stopped you and they should’ve told you they loved you more and that feeling is never going to go away. And so you killed yourself
but you killed everyone else around you too.

The Pursuit of Holiness : Part 2 Are you laying down your foundation?
Since last year ,I been teaching kids art at my Aunt dance program. This year I want to express the importance of a foundation and community. A couple of months ago surfing the web,I was searching for art and crafts activities for the kids. I was astonish at the talents of what people can do. One of them I saw was Popsicle sticks being made into miniature houses. I decided this was what I wanted to try with kids but first I had to build it first. So after months of procrastinating ,I finally went and bough the Popsicle sticks.
After being frustrated multiple times of not sticking together or getting stuck on what it leaning on ,I was ready to say “NEXT! “.From sticky fingers to not making much sense of how everything will come together I was ready to throw in the towel. I was talking to my grandmother , expressing my frustrations of how it not coming together. My grandmother said”quit”, but I refused. So I tried again and this time moving this stick from this spot to the next turn in to the bottom piece being done.
In many ways God speaks to us . Whether it come in little or big form. Even through people or just signs. The question is are you listening ? As I work on this house ,I realize this small gesture my Heavenly Father is speaking to me about the importance of having a good foundation.
In the childhood story the 3 little pigs you see how a foundation is emphasis. One pig build his house out of straws while another one built it by sticks. The third pig built his house out of bricks .This big bad wolf tried to huff and puff until all the houses were destroy. The third pig house was not touch ,in fact the other two pigs ran to third pig house for safety. We can relate this story in a biblical way. The 1st and 2nd pig houses represents other avenues in this journey in life. Other avenues could mean following other false gods,idolatry etc. The third house was built firm and strong and that represents Jesus Christ. He is the truth and the only way. In many times,even in my own personal life ,did you ever stray from GOD?I’m pretty sure if your reading this you have. Did you ever find yourself when running from danger run into a house made of bricks?Well I hope so. The big bad wolf represents satan , he going to try to huff puff and try to tell you the tricks of all tricks to try to get you to step foot out that house. You just make sure your house is made out of bricks. Peace to you all!
“Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.” Matthew 7:24-27New Living Translation (NLT)

"Relax. if God wanted to have you at that certain place you think you need to be in right now then you would already be there. So don’t allow yourself to stress or rush just because things are not happening on your time table or the way you want them to doesn’t allow you to have a bad attitude and be in a bad mood. It’s time you be at peace in all situations even when things don’t go your way. God knows what’s the best time to get you were you need to be. Trust in His timing not your own. Be humble. He might be teaching you a important lesson before you go to another level. Remember your still growing!"

The Pursuit of Holiness: “ Peeks into Childhood “
I come from a Christian family background but it seems as I gotten older the route I follow led me astray.I mean sure, we would pray before meals if we didn’t forget or go to Easter Sunday Church annually.I remember going to my dad house and seeing bible verses.We even watch the movie ,left behind but I was never really taught the word of GOD.
When my brother and I was younger my grandmother would take us to church.I remember them teaching us but I was young .I remember doing plays and activities.I also remember sleeping through most of the church service ,this is probably why I don’t really remember much.
My mother(who I dearly love) didn’t go and neither did my dad.In no way am I blaming them because as I continue to write my story you understand how everything will come together.I do remember my mom buying me a pink bible which I use till this day.As time went on ,we became inconsistent and lazy to go back to church.Missing 1 day turned into only stepping foot in on occasions.My grandmother would constantly ask when am I going to Church?But I would just shrug my shoulders.
“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Proverbs 22:6
"A man is not saved because he believes in Christ; he believes in Christ because he is saved"
