Farewell 2009

While typing this last: BLOG, POST, or NOTE for 2009, I look up at the clock and see that the time is approaching the MARK for the world say Adieu to 2009. Now the memories are starting to pop up in my mind and yes I feel like crying, but I won't because JESUS CHRIST made my family's life feel like DYNAMITE.

The BIBLE has a verse that always allows the sun to shine 24/7 in our LIFE'S and I'd like to share it with you, so when your feeling sad and blue:

ECCLESIASTES 4:1

A TIME TO WEEP, AND A TIME TO LAUGH, A TIME TO MOURN, AND A TIME TO DANCE.

As I reflect on "ALL" the events of 2009 my: Gem(husband), our 4 Diamonds(sons), and I have embraced so many: fabulous, hilarious, and at the same time a few were down right tragic. Nonetheless I raise my head up to the LORD and Thank him because during everything that we experienced it made us: STRONGER, brought us CLOSER as a FAMILY, and the best part of all of this was that we went through it as a TEAM because we took ownership of this:

PROVERBS 3:5

TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND DO NOT LEAN ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING.

Before we say FAREWELL to 2009 we'd like to THANK the following people:
  1. Our LORD and SAVIOR...
  2. The BLISSFUL BLESSINGS of 4 DIAMONDS(sons) that GOD gave us.
  3. All the Loving followers of our BLOG called "THE REAL DEAL".

  7. Last but not never least, I: Praise, Thank, and always give GLORY to the Alpha and Omega for my soul mate of 21 years and 6 years. This man showed me how to: Laugh, Cry, and LOVE. Thank you, GOD for such an AWESOME Soul-Mate.
LUKE 6:38

What is the Foundation of your FAITH?

What's the foundation of your FAITH? When we use the phase or term foundation, we're referring to the: nitty-gritty, ABC's, and above all, the rot of where your loyalty to the LORD really is?

We're spotlighting this question because 2010 is right around the corner and "ALL" of us as vessels of GOD should honesty contemplate where we stand when it comes to our own personal walk with JESUS CHRIST?

Intermittently, we've had the pleasure to question and counsel both Born Again Christians and nonbelievers on how deep and serious their desire to serve the LORD is. Beyond a shade of a doubt, their replies were questions were SHOCKING and here are a few of them.

1. What do we receive in exchange for following JESUS? Our comeback was this:

JOHN 3:16

GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.

2. Why is it that Christians have to undergo so much hardship while laboring in the LORD? We processed to explain that GOD had to endure so much inflicted grieve by his: disciples, humanity, and especially the Roman soldiers; so that you and us would delight in having access to Eternal LIFE.

1 PETER 5:10

AND AFTER YOU HAVE SUFFERED A LITTLE WHILE, THE GOD OF ALL GRACE, WHO HAS CALLED YOU TO HIS ETERNAL GLORY IN CHRIST, WILL HIMSELF, RESTORE, CONFIRM, STRENGTHEN, AND ESTABLISH YOU.

3. The cross-examination concluded with this enigma of an inquiry that was brewing in their minds for a while. What can an individual do to make their faith stronger? In our opinion this should have been the first question; nonetheless it wasn't so we rolled with the bunches and replied with this:

ROMANS 10:17

SO FAITH COMES FROM HEARING, AND HEARING THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST.

Prior to the clock hitting 12:00 am on December 31, 2009, truly ponder this:

What is the Foundation of your FAITH and when you savory "ALL" of this around in your heads, proceed to make 2010 the launching pad to an AWESOME NEW YEAR!

P.S.

Leave "ALL" your burdens to the LORD because their as LIGHT as a FEDDER to him.

MATTHEW 11:28

COME TO ME, ALL YOU WHO LABOR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.
