Birthday wish...

Well, my birthday has come and gone...so thankful to the Lord for allowing me to see it...the song writer wrote, "millions didn't make it but I was one of the ones who did"...thanks be to God who caused me to triumph! Thanks to MyFam and friends for the birthday shout outs! and to MyDearOne who always tells me the story about the day I was born...above all, it is MyPrayer that we ALL get back to the Word of God, back to prayer, back to repentance, back to seeing the outpouring of the Holy Ghost, back to believing Gods word, let's go back...yes we're in a new day, but "the Wall" says that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever! Looking forward to watching God move in a greater way in the coming year...starting today! God bless! Loveu all!

What can be said?

MyBrother texted me my weekly Friday morning greeting. Thanks Brother! He added in his message his observation that there is a lot going on in the world today. I'm sure he was referring to the most recent killings of black men at the hands of white police officers. 

Well said, Brother! Well said...but, what can be said about what is going on? Oh, a lot has already been said! But what is really going on? What are real solutions to what is really going on? How can these problems be resolved?

Now, I have stayed out of these kinds of public conversations, but I do want to add this...As I observe news reports and coverage about all that is going on, I also noticed something missing.  Something that we used to hear in news interviews quite often...what is that missing thing? God!  Now, of course, God is not a thing...but have you noticed that? Could all of "this" be because we have left God - out of everything!??!?!? We don't acknowledge Him in anything anymore! 

Let's just get back to the Word of God. "Why?" you may ask? The Word of God changes the HEART of man!! Let's just face it, our hearts are not right! The Word of God teaches us how to live, how to treat each other, how to forgive, how to walk upright, how to see things, how to handle the tough times, how to rejoice and when to rejoice...and so so much more!! Where else can you learn these things? This is truth...

Get FOCUSED on the Word of God!

We eat, talk about a variety of topics central to things girls ages 13-18 face in areas of spiritual development, social/emotional health, career and vocational exploration, and health and nutrition, and also perform community service projects. We are not an organization trying to push a particular religious agenda or doctrine, but our foundation is based on the Word of God. We really just want to be an added level of support and a resource to girls, and their families, in this day and age.

Come join us. Visit our website for more info. Can't wait to see you!

What is your FOCUS?

Greetings Ladies!! Happy March 2016!

It is looking like winter is coming to a quick end! Our winter wasn't so bad, right!!

So, what has your focus been so far this year? Good friends? Grades? Relationships w/your parents?? Whatever your focus has been till now, remember that God CAN make a difference! With your friends - with your grades, and in your relationships!

When He is in the center of it all, the weight you may feel won't feel so heavy. When He is in the center of it all, you can find joy. When He is in the center of it all, you can find peace - even if there seems to be none!!!! God - in the center of it ALL - makes the difference!!

Many have tried Him and know that what I am saying is true. Not because of something we heard someone else say, but because He has made a difference in our lives!! Amen!!

Visit our webpage at focused-ministries.org. You can connect with an adult who will tell confirm this word. We would love to talk with you, pray with you, or just listen. 

We are FOCUSED!! On you and God's will for your life!

Be blessed!!
