From the Abundance

Dear Pastor Chaconna, In lieu of coming to you directly I wanted to take this opportunity to offer you a few friendly reminders for your call and appointment.  First let me start by saying, I know it's not the easiest thing in the world to walk in the calling that God has placed on your life.  I know you had plans and things you wanted to do with your life and probably even some dreams and goals you'd set for yourself as a young girl.  Nevertheless you chose to answer God's call.  I can't say that everything will be peaches and cream, heck you may not even see any of those hopes and dreams you had for yourself come to pass, but know this... the plan (Jeremiah 29:11) He lined up for you is greater than anything you could have imagined. You'll have to compromise much of what you thought was normal and completely switch your way of thinking... church to kingdom... I know it's crazy but you'll never get it right until you can do this.  Trying to figure ou...

But if anyone does not provide for his relatives , and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. 1 Tim. 5:8NKJV  2012 has certainly been a year all about family for me...

It never fails that when you think you're going to have some extra money.... an unexpected expense pops up How ex boyfriends/girlfriends pop up out of the woodworks months and years later... when you haven't as much as thought about them....It never fails When you're having the best day ever... somebody does something to try and mess it up or make you upset...It never fails that It never fails when you think that one person's season in your life is over and God... or the devil... sends them riiiight back When the whole family gets together for just the right amount of time in a small space... somebody's going to argue...It never fails When you hit a good stride in life and things seem to be going well... surprise!! a HUGE bump in the road throws you off...It never fails. I recently got a phone call at 5:30 am from someone who has been an interesting part of my life.  I knew he was going to be calling soon, because it never fails... when I've moved o...
