“Salvation is the state of being saved or protected from harm….”

My prayers to God and prayers spoken over me last weekend gave me the strength to hear, “the devil he is a liar.” I was advised by one of my Pastors that my brief testimony is a salvation story.

My birthday this past Monday was special. It was not about the gifts, but being with and hearing from family and friends who truly love me. Through the hard times, I grow more in my faith walk with God and Jesus. They both love me more than I love myself.

This year I am appreciating where God places me. Doors have closed on people who I thought were meant to walk by my side. I am not bitter. However, many doors are opening with old and new, special friends. He will guide us through the good and challenging times.

I pray to be a light to others and grow from them too. Our winter days have had more sunlight during the month of January. Last year’s January, we had no sunshine. The days are growing longer with hope.

We will carry on and lift one another up with kindness and love from above.
