I missed midnight, but I hope not you.
In the name of our Father, our
Savior, Jesus Christ,
have a blessed New Year 2009.
If your new plans do not include
satisfiying others, it is not
much of a new plan
I'm looking forward to restoration,
more praise and Grace.
...again, HAPPY NEW YEAR Dear Sistahs!!!

KEEP HOPE ALIVE!

When your road seems long, dark and dreary,
your trials hard to solve, talk to Jesus.

He slept in a stable, wore a crown of painful
thornes, bore puncture wounds in His sides,
bled and died on a cross. He went to hell;
snatched the key of life from satans' hands
that we may have the free will to choose
life eternal or die in sin. He went to be with
His Heavenly Father. He saves a place for us.

There is no excuses for excuses.
He knew that He came to die,
to Keep Hope Alive.

INSPIRATIONAL WRITING

Sometimes I am awaken
By the power of the Holy Spirit
I must then write the words instantaneously
I need an audience to hear these words.
I believe in you. God has filled a void
With faithful Sistahs. God has already blessed
Your vision Sistah Marilynn Griffith. Thank You

LORD WHY DO I CRY?

I CRY BECAUSE I BURDEN MYSELF WITH THINGS I CAN’T CONTROL, I CRY BECAUSE I SEEM SO HELPLESS IN A WORLD FULL OF PEOPLE WHO ARE BITTER AND COLD.

I CRY BECAUSE MY CHILD IS NOT SAFE BEYOND THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL DOORS, I CRY BECAUSE HIS CLASSMATES ARE CAUGHT UP IN GANG WARS.

I CRY BECAUSE I AM SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO MURDER AS CAIN DID ABEL, I CRY BECAUSE MOST OF THE POPULATION STRUGGLE TO KEEP FOOD ON THE TABLE.

I CRY BECAUSE OUR SOLDIERS ARE SENT OVER SEAS AND DON’T RETURN, I CRY BECAUSE OUR PRESIDENT SPENDS MORE MONEY ON THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES AND FOR THE UNITED STATES HE HAS NO CONCERNS.

LORD, YOU PROMISED TO PROTECT ME AND NOT GIVE ME MORE THAN I COULD BARE, AND NO MATTER HOW BAD THINGS GET, I KNOW YOU ARE ALWAYS HERE.

IF THESE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS WILL BRING ME CLOSER TO YOU, THAN I PRAY THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.

I HAVE OPENED UP MY HEART TO YOU, AND I STILL REMAIN TO CRY, BUT NOW I KNOW THE REASON, AND YOU ARE THE REASON WHY.

I CRY BECAUSE I AM HAPPY BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN MY LIFE, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS AROUND ME, I AM PROTECTED, AM I RIGHT?

I WORRIED ABOUT MY TEARS AND THOUGHT THEY CAME FROM PAIN, BUT I AM COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST AND AT TIMES THERE WILL BE RAIN.

WHEN THINGS ARE GOOD IN LIFE WE TEND TO STRAY AWAY, WE OFTEN MAKE BAD CHOICES, AND DETER FROM OUR FAITH.

WE SOMETIMES PUT OUR TRUST IN MAN, AND YOU HAVE TO RE-OPEN OUR EYES, WHICH ARE OUR TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS, WHICH IS RAIN, AGAIN I CRY.

THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING, AND WIPING AWAY MY TEARS, FOR I BRING THEM ON MYSELF, WHENEVER I LOOSE MY FEAR. THE FEAR OF YOU I WILL CARRY AND IT IS OKAY TO BRING ON STORMS, I WILL ABIDE BY WHAT IS WRITTEN, AND WHAT IS EVIL I WILL AVOID .

I MUST ENDULGE MYSELF IN YOUR WORD AND TRY TO REMAIN IN LINE, BUT THANK YOU MY SWEET JESUS FOR MANIFESTING WHY I CRY.
