Went to Church

Yesterday we went to church. I think the kids enjoyed it quite a bit. It was such a blessing quite honestly. Because when they called the kids to discuss what they learned, my children who weren't there raised their hands. They gave awesome answers about what God is and what he is capable of doing. My mother of course felt at home, the church was mostly Filipino. As for me, I just felt at peace. That's what I've been looking for. I've been out of church for awhile and as much as I loved the people in the churches I've attended, I've always had a roadblock that would prevent me from trying to go to church. God is good. And well, He spoke to me and placed a burden in my heart to be more faithful. And I will do my best to be faithful not only in my walk with him, but to be in fellowship with others. Maybe this will be the year that I see the chains that have kept me, fall off. I pray that I can overcome that stumbling block. My life has many different aspects and my love for Christ is one of them. I have given my life to him especially the way he plays a major role in every area of my life. It may not seem like it to the outside world, but it is my belief that all things happen for a reason and whether good or bad, I will learn from it. I just am very grateful because it seems God placed people in my path for a reason. Even the ones I've met at the Expo. I believe God has a plan and that he has given me hope in the areas of our financial situation. God is in control when I can't be. And everything in my life is given by him good and bad. And I can't thank and praise him enough. Life is good. I'm thankful that I'm still alive. And that's pretty much the only reason why you should be happy. You are alive to be able to live and do things. Be happy for the small things and be happy for the bad things. Be happy no matter what. Because all things happen for a reason....

Welcome to my world!
