And if you look closer into your community, events are happening left and right that make us all want to cry out. It makes us want to cling to God even more (personally speaking). When all else is said and done, I know God is my everything! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><em>Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence continually.<br><br>1 Chronicles 16:11<\/em><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The last few weeks I\u2019ve been struggling with sinus headaches, an ear ache, fatigue, congestion, and the list goes on. I\u2019ve seen how people take my kindness for weakness. I\u2019ve seen how folks take advantage of certain situations. I\u2019ve seen how folks smile in your face, while they plot and scheme behind closed doors in hopes of taking what you have. I have seen folks pretend to care just to get in your business and try to hold your own words against you. I\u2019ve seen folks have delight in their eyes as they\u2019ve watched my family struggle. Oh it\u2019s funny how when physically you not feeling well and you have no choice but to slow down, but other senses are heightened and awareness is brought to the forefront. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><em>But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one. <br><br>2 Thessalonians 3:3<br><\/em><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite all of that foolishness,  I still give God all the honor and praise. You see because right now I\u2019m just so happy those folks don\u2019t have a heaven or hell to put me in, so I\u2019ll just pray for them and keep it moving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><em>Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you. <br><br>Deuteronomy 31:6<\/em><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you may not know the tone of my voice, I want you to know I\u2019ve got the joy and peace from God that only He can provide.
