Hey standers,
Just wanted you all to know that even though I have been gone for a while I still pray for you all everyday. Sometimes we all just need to step away from the circumstances, the bad news, and our daily comfort zones before we are beaten down to far.
As of late I have been spending as much time with the Lord as possible, praying, learning from him and continuing to fight for my marriage and my wife Tina.
I felt called to share a message that was sent to me today with all of you. Gods blessings upon you all and our marriages.

Having Hope In The Lord!!
Rom. 5:5 "And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed
abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."
Today, if you are hoping in man and not God, you will be disappointed.
Apart from God, it is an awful, hopeless place. But with God's help,
you will make it even while you go through this difficult season.
Whatever is your circumstances, there is hope. You may not be able to
see or feel the hope, but it is there for you. How do we find the
hope? There is only one place where hope can be found, and that is in
Jesus Christ.
Have you lost hope in Christ to turn things around because there is no
sign of restoration? Paul continue to hope in Christ even during his
many trials. He said something remarkable about his adversities: 'For
Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in
persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong'
(2 Corinthians 12:10).
There were times when the tremendous hardships he confronted were far
beyond his human endurance. After suffering one rather malicious
incident of persecution, Paul admitted he and his companions
'despaired even of life' (2 Corinthians 1:8).
God's Word of hope will serve as a reminder that we should never give
up and that there is ALWAYS hope! We serve a mighty God who is bigger
than any circumstance that we might be facing today.
Let us be mindful that the Lord is with us. He is our Help in times of
trouble. He is our Shield when troubles come our way. He is our
Fortress - for He is the One we run to in our time of greatest need.
We must believe God and not waver in our faith. He has everything
worked out for us if we will just trust Him.
Paul had faith in the living God to see him trough his trial. 'On Him
we have set our hope,' wrote Paul, 'that he will continue to deliver
us' (verse 10). But as Paul's life demonstrates, God usually delivers
us out of troubles we are already in, not necessarily from troubles
before they begin.
Yet, as we must, Paul was able to rise above all his many afflictions.
How did he do it? And how can we surmount our trials and troubles?
Paul certainly didn't overcome by his own strength or will. He never
took personal credit for being able to bear his painfully heavy cross.
God wants you to trust Him. You need to agree with God about your
situation. What does God say about who you are and what His will is
for your life? Don't go by the negative things you hear or see. Stop
listening to the naysayers. Instead we should remind ourselves that
God only has plans for us that are good. Jeremiah helps us remember
what God has to say about us. "For I know the plans I have for you,"
says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give
you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29: 11
We do not need to be disappointed and feel alone. We can have hope!
God's love in our hearts will ignite the flames of hope we have buried
deep inside our hearts. God's Word can encourage us as we read it with
great anticipation and faith.
Paul said: 'I can do everything through him who gives me strength'
(Philippians 4:13). He exulted, not in his own will and courage, but
in the power of Christ in him. By his example we know that we, too,
have access to the same spiritual power and courage because hope
maketh not ashamed.
I am praying for and standing with each of you. Love and appreciation.
Be encouraged
