I woke up this morning with a sense of peace and gratefulness, feeling Gods love all around me.  Taking a trip down memory lane and seeing how far God has brought me, all I can say is thank you Lord for blessing me.  In spite everything you still love me.  With this knowledge, I know that if we continue to trust God and stand on every promise He made to His children, we all can receive His blessings.  God is not a respecter of a persons He created each one of us and wants all of us to shine. The plans He has for us are so much better than we have for ourselves.  Let me encourage you all to take a deep breath, be still, and listen to what God is saying to you then follow the plan that He has laid out for you.  

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
