My home is a refuge not only from the world, but from my worries, my troubles, my concerns. I like beautiful things around me. I like to be beautiful because it delights my eyes and my soul is lifted up.

Bitter Cup....

If life is giving you lemons..........




And the cross is too heavy to carry...


Remember the Savior and his sacrifice for all of us...

the suffering, the anguish, the torment...



There is one who descended below all things, even was forsaken by God to bring about the Ressurection of all mankind, and the possibility to repent and live with God again..


During Difficult times character is not defined
Character is revealed



When our Lord and Savior partook of the bitter cup..he chose to not be bitter!!!


As we all struugle with life and its many challenges, may be also not be bitter but praise his name and love him that loves us, and know that this too shall give us experience and shall be for our good should we remain faithful.

What a great reminder.

While I am not always thankful for a trial when I'm going through it, I am thankful for it after and for how it strengthened me and my testimony.

Thanks to my dear Lord for healing for a dear daughter of ours. I do not know how people who say they are atheists can make it in this world. I guess they haven't been in the proverbial foxhole yet.

This is so true, this has been my mantra or my driving force to continue and endure. I haven't blogged much and try to keep up with others but life is about change and life is meant to be happy and enjoyed no matter what blessings or trials come your way. I know it is finding joy in everything and blessings in everything. It would be easy so hard to endure if you could only find joy and blessings in the good times. Finding joy and blessings during your trials have got to be the sweetest moments, and I am sure to record them. some days, I am just so thankful the day is over. Because of HIM, I am everything, because of His sacrifice I am enough. Because of Him, I have eternity.
