God gives us struggles to find our inner strength and faith in his love and the love of others.

Through different challenging times, episodes of loss, depression, trauma and abuse– God always pulls me through the storms.

He knows my heart, thoughts, prayers unspoken and spoken.

I sing, dance ,write, teach, pray, learn, grow, heal, cook, walk, smile, laugh, cry, travel and give more to others.

Everyday I grow closer to God and his son, Jesus.

Abundant Life Fellowship in Boonville is my refuge where I became born again.

I pray, sing, prophesize, teach, love, read scripture, worship, dream, weep, feel real joy, and build real friendships with others in my church family.

In the near future I will be water baptized and become a member of the church.

The church is growing and accepting.

We are abundant with people of all ages.

There are many children (our future generations) growing and learning in God’s love.

We love other churches and welcome the non-believers to come worship with us.

Life is good and messy.

We have all sinned, but can ask for his forgiveness and the forgiveness of others we have hurt along our life journey.

Each day we wake we have a new chance to be better than the person we were the day before.

Walking right with God brings me peace, true joy, and more love for Jesus Christ, for others and myself.

The anxiety, lack of confidence, fear, sadness lessen as I search my heart and let God lead my days.

My days are now on God’s Time and he always makes everything better.

Amen.
