About Me

My photo
I am a single mother of one, ten year old, special needs boy. Some days are good, Some days we struggle. But by keeping Faith, we will continue to move forward...ABOUT MY SON: Bradley has a brain atrophy(a part of his brain is stunted & will never grow)(this is what the drs have said),which effects his speech,coordination & balance, & his behavior. He also has been diagnosed with ADHD,Pervasive Developmental Disorder(a slight form of Autism),Obsessive Compulsive,& Obsessive Defiance Disorder.All of which most likely are caused by the brain injury.He is at a 1st & 2nd grade level in most of his activivities at school. He is very loving & likes giving hugs most of the time,but other times can be very ugly & mean.He has to have alot of assistance in day to day activities & will probably be in an assisted living program,(this is also what the drs & his Teachers have said) after I am gone. As I Stated before, by keeping faith, we will continue to move forward.

SERVE WITH LOVE

If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother,he is a
liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen,
how can he love God whom he has not seen?
1 John 4:20, NKJV

How many ways can you serve and love God? You could serve through good works. But not all service is equal. That which means the most to God, is through the service of love. Love that is given generously and freely. Love does not count wrongs, but looks for what is right. Everyday is the day to serve with love, human beings may judge by service of what gets done. But God sees what motivates the heart.

God is able to give you more than you need, so that you
will always have all you need for yourselves and
more than enough for every good cause.
2 Corinthians 9:8, GNT

God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

RISE ABOVE CIRCUMSTANCE

                                                     Fools show their anger at once,
                                                     but the prudent ignore an insult.
                                                          Proverbs 12:16, NRSV

 When circumstance seems to be against you, do not give up and allow them to defeat you. God calls upon you to be better than the circumstance, and He can help you rise above them. Instead of being angry or depressed, take time to pray. Then look for new and different ideas, and better ways of reacting to what is going on around you. Do what you can to try and make bad circumstances better. With God's help, you can rise above anything the devil may bring your way and create good out of evil.

            Do not fear, for I am with you, do not be afraid,for I am
              your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will
                      uphold you with my victorious right hand.
                                       Isaiah 41:10, NRSV
