My story with God: I came to Christ in my early teen years after experiencing a traumatic background of abuse. I lived a really rebellious lifestyle in my late teen year. Who would have ever knew that I would be here sharing this story right now on AAG!! I rededicated my life back to Christ in Nov 2002. I knew that I was saved and I would go to heaven but I did not have an intimate relationship with God like I needed and now I realize what I was searching for. I have grown spiritually and I am not done yet. I am a firm believer that if you truly have been touched by the Lord that there will be no turning back. God is who he says he is, His word is living and our guide on how to live day to day. I love him for saving a sinner like me!!

Other stuff about me:: I have two sons 4 and 2 years of age. I am a full time student at LSU-S. I love to read my bible and self help books not only to help myself but others to as the Lord leads.

The center chapter of the BIBLE is Psalm 118.. there are 594 chapters before and after Psalm 118
And if we will add this we will get 1188... in which the center verse of the BIBLE is PSALM 118:8
What is the significant of Psalm 118:8 in God's perfect will for our lives?
It is better to trust in the LORD, than to put confidence in man.-- Psalm 118:8

When things get tough, always remember faith doesn't get you around trouble..
it gets you through it!
When you relinquish the desire to control your future you obtain happiness...

Prayer:
Father God, bless my friend in whatever it is that you know he/she may be needing this day....
May thier life be full of your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have closer relationship with you. Amen...

ENDURES FOREVER.
( PSALM 136:1 *NIV )

When we count all of our blessings we start to realize
how wonderful our Heavenly Father has been to us. For He not
only helps us in time of need, He blesses us abundantly as well.

Therefore we should; GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, CALL
ON HIS NAME; MAKE KNOWN AMONG THE NATIONS WHAT
HE HAS DONE. SING TO HIM, SING PRAISE TO HIM; TELL
OF HIS WONDERFUL ACTS. ( CHRONICLES 16:8-9 )

Further, why not start each day by counting your many
blessings, and sharing with others what God has done for you.
For King David did, for he wrote; I WILL GIVE YOU THANKS IN
THE GREAT ASSEMBLY; AMONG THRONGS OF PEOPLE I
WILL PRAISE YOU. ( PSALM 35:18 )

Be thankful for all that God has done for you, and
thank Him in your prayers! For then He will smile down on you,
like a proud Father would on an obedient child!

Now please know that: I THANK MY GOD EVERY TIME I
REMEMBER YOU. IN ALL MY PRAYERS FOR ALL OF YOU,
I ALWAYS PRAY WITH JOY. Amen.
( PHILIPPIANS 1:3-4 )

“All things work together for good…to those
Who are the called according to His purpose”
-Romans 8:28

Are you passing through the deep waters of trial and disappointment?
Does everything seem to be going against u?
These apparent misfortunes are not accidents.
The Lord allows such things for a blessed purpose!
So patiently trust Him. If you know the Lord,
Someday you will praise Him for it all!

God transforms trials into triumphs!
Have a blessed day to you, my friend.
