Tampa Bay Lightning Stanley Cup 2021

8/1/2021

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing."

~~2 Timothy 4:7-8

The most coveted Stanley Cup won by Tampa Bay Lightning; I am sorry San Jose Sharks. We will get our chance one day.

The Lord is my Shepherd

7/15/2021

"The Lord is the one who is shepherding me; I lack nothing.
He causes me to lie down in pastures of green grass; he guides me beside quiet waters.
He revives my life; he leads me in pathways that are righteous for the sake of his name.
Even when I walk through a valley of deep darkness, I will not be afraid because you are with me.
Your rod and your staff—they comfort me."

~~Psalm 23:1-4

Live your own life

7/13/2021

Your time on earth is limited; don't waste it living someone else's life. Build your own legacy, make history and right what is wrong.

My tribute

7/10/2021

"How can I say thanks for all the things that you have done for me
Things so undeserved, yet you gave your life to me
And the voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude
All that I am and ever want to be, I owe it Lord to thee."

~~the late Andre Crouch

Made in the image of God

7/8/2021

We are made in the image of God; won't it be great if we act like him as well?

"Made in the image of
Made in the image of God
Beautiful shades of love
Made in the image of
Made in the image of God
That's where the light comes from, yeah"

Jesus is at the door knocking

6/27/2021

Are you going a difficult time in your life? Jesus is waiting right outside the door. You cannot make it through this life on your own. Why don't you share your burdens with Him. Jesus went through so much pain and suffering on earth, he feels your pain.

Rev. 3:20

Is your heart aching? Help is on the way!

6/14/2021

I heard your heart
I see your pain
Out in the dark
Out in the rain
Feel so alone
Feel so afraid

I heard you pray in Jesus' name
It may be midnight or midday
It's never early, never late
He gon' stand by what He claim
I've lived enough life to say

Help is on the way (roundin' the corner)
Help is on the way (comin' for ya)
Help is on the way (yeah, yeah)
I've lived enough life to say
Help is on the way

Pain = Growth

6/8/2021

"Your greatest ministry probably will come from your deepest hurt, if you are honest with yourself, others and God to share it. Pain causes growth. Purpose does not prevent you from pain. God uses pain to build purposes in our lives. God's number one goal for our lives is to be like Christ. If so, He is going to make us go through everything Jesus went through. Somethings, we only learn through pain. Life is like a railroad track. No matter how good things are in our lives, there are always something bad we are working on."

~~Rick Warren, best selling author of The Purpose Driven Life

"God whispers to us through our pleasure and shouts to us through our pain."

~~C.S. Lewis

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

If the seven children that I sponsor in Ethiopia were here in California, I know that they would like me to have an outdoorsy celebration so I thought I would do just that 😀.

Enjoy the day because God knows you have earned it.

We are all rooted in something

4/23/2021

Are you deeply rooted to a righteous source?

I receive undeserved complements on my humanitarian and philanthropy work. I say undeserved because the desire to do great work to impact the world first of all comes from God and second from my AWESOME mother. Growing up, I saw my mom share literally everything she had.

Though she had limited resources, her heart was much bigger than her portfolio. What are you rooted in? Career? Status? Material wealth? There are only two things that have eternal value and they are God's work and people. Get rooted in that and you will stand as sturdy as a tree planted by the water with strong roots that will sustain it through any challenges.
