Happy Valentines Day! I'm sitting here with my sweetie watching movies! Yesterday morning went very well. James tells me we did really good. I was worried because a couple of things went wrong and it didn't go as planned, but you learn to adapt and overcome! By the afternoon things kind of went downhill. I won't go into detail because it's not professional, but it's one of those days that make you think about your future and where you want to end up.

I was watching Charles Stanley this morning and he talked about going through storms as Christians. Many times those storms drive you to Him. I believe that. Last night I wasn't well and God spoke to me and told me to lay down. Then He said to say 5 times, take my burdens Lord. I did. Then I felt lighter! He gave me insight into the future as to what things will happen. I hope I heard him correctly! If so then great! The bible says He works all things for the good.

I guess storms and trials never leave a real Christian. When we gave our life to God there wasn't a promise that things would be great, but He did promise not to leave. Thank God for that! I want you all to know that God promises never to leave you, EVER! It doesn't matter what people say, do, how bad they speak of you; God loves you and that is all that matters. If you are doing His will, then everything will fall into place. He is waiting and wanting to help you, but it has to be righteous. You can't ask for something that isn't yours or something that isn't His will. In your pursuit you cannot hurt people, if you do, then you could forfeit the plan.

So stay encouraged and be uplifted. Storms will pass. God promises that, and you can count on it!

Your in Christ, Aketa
