November 21      A date that will live in my mind forever, It is the day my life changed. The day of my car accident. It has been a year since that day and I can see how, in so many ways, I am better for it.       I was going back to school from work at around 8pm. I was so tired and was ready to get home and sleep. Even now, I look back and am not sure how it happened, I was coming up to a stoplight and was slowing down, and I think I feel asleep in just a second because the next thing I knew, I had run into the back of the car in front of me. I dont remember hearing the crash, I dont remember panicking, I just remember the chaos that would ensue. Ray (my car) was not drivable. I had to have him towed from the accident scene. Because I was in college and was broke, I had to put his repairs on credit since I couldn’t afford it.       When I got Ray back from the shop, I started the drive back to MD immediately. The semester was over...

I will be in GA, TN and FL for the rest of the year before making my way back up to MD for the holidays. I am so glad to be going south as winter seems to be coming in faster than I anticipated and cold is really not my favorite. I'll enjoy some warmth a little longer.  I have been able to be on the east coast for a few weeks now, and spend some time with family while I was at some meetings here. It has been so nice to slow down and get some rest, especially since I know I am getting ready to be crazy busy again.   I reached 14% support this month! God has been so good, I did not anticipate my support coming in so quickly but Praise the Lord! It has been so exciting to watch God move and wor...

What does it mean to be completely, entirely dependent on God?  What does it mean to have placed your full trust in Him? In order for one to place ALL their trust in God, is to completely submit to His control. This is perhaps one of the hardest things to do as a Christian, is to relinquish all ideas of what ought to happen or what we think is best. And yet, it is a command. For a child of God to live a victorious Christian life, we must live a life of complete dependence and trust in God.  I would like to talk a little bit about trust. We understand the concept of dependence being that one is entirely in need of something or someone else. Trusting goes a step further. This concept is most easily seen in sign language actually. The sign for trust uses both hands and grabs ahold of something one cannot see. Ones dominant hand comes from the head and the other comes up and they meet in the middle. Thus illustrating that, one cannot hold onto ones understanding or capability to t...
