"There is no greater power than the power of GOD.
You must walk in FAITH to KNOW HIS POWER!
You must SURRENDER yourself to HIS purpose!
You must BELIEVE WITHOUT A DOUBT, that
HE will lead you where you need to go!
Listen Here! He brought me through cancer, two bone diseases,
one muscle disease, 20 operations.... HE IS A MIGHTY GOD!!!!!!!
I'm not bragging, but anybody looking at me knows that there must
be a reason why I look like I do! Well I'll tell you.... lol. I live each
day giving praise to Him. I walk each day in faith. I treat people like
I want to be treated... and I love with deep convictions! And most
importantly in recent years... I know when to walk away from that
which is not of HIM, and seek those who are of a like-mind. And I
don't mean folks that just open up their mouths and call on Him,
for this or that. But people who walk in Him... In my own words,
I say 'put up or shut up'....(lmbo)."

"Psalm 23
'The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths
of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.'"
