Strength
Good Morning/Evening!
For the most part of March we have been experiencing all types of weather, from heat, to cold, to freezing and severe storms with damaging winds also wildfires! Your body is all confused...but we can rest assured that none of these events are surprising to God!! He is still providing, protecting and purposing our life’s journey.
On Saturday, we celebrated the Life of Mr. Curtis “Curt” Derricks. A man that was well known by many, and a part of my family too many years to count, let’s just say our families were neighbors. He will be missed, but remembered.
There were other families bidding farewell to loved ones this past weekend, Harper/Lee; Robinson; and Fulton/Louis .
These are life storms and pain that are a part of living. But there is help from the great Comforter to guide us through. Strength isn’t always loud, it’s not always about standing tall, or moving mountains or winning battles. Sometimes strength is soft. Sometimes it’s just about the decision to keep getting up, to believe that better days are coming, even when we can’t see them yet. But one day, we’ll look back and realize that every struggle, heartache, and tear we shed had a purpose. When the weight has been lifted and the pain has softened, we’ll understand why it had to happen this way. But all in God’s timing.
We are in continued intercessory prayer for all the sick and shut-ins everywhere, and for our leaders in every capacity.
Our requested prayer names: Emma Jones; Willie Townsend; Dessie Evans; Bobby Joe Harrison; Darlene Patrick; David Parrott; Jessie Gatewood; LaDonna Murray; Trena Coleman; Betty Flowers; Burnestine Spivey; Gail Johnson; Jarutha Wilson; Onnie Bobbitt; Cordelia Brown; Sandra Odom; Margie Haralson; Verbie Lyles; Shirley McClendon; Kathy Moncrief; Joey Hunt; Shamica Young; Cathia Coleman; Rev James Clark; Joann Graffenread; Helen Love; Odee Akines; Mary Stowers; Floyzell Williams; Virginia Tucker; Earlene Williams; Jimmy McClendon; Jerry Earnest; Connie Parker; Gennetta Patrick; Mattie Holifield; Will Hughes; and all their caregivers.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week, less allergy attacks and more love given and received!!!
Sending a Happy Birthday Wish to Mr. Willie Townsend this weekend!
