Greetings Precious People of God HALLELUJAH and PRAISE THE LORD!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 I am writing from arrears. I apologize for not keeping up with my letters to you all. I have been busier than I care to admit, but I hope you know that I have not missed a day of giving our Lord praise and thanksgiving for His continued mercy and grace towards us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am still coming forth on Facebook every Sunday morning at 8:00 am to share what God has laid on my heart. I am still attending church. I am still giving leadership in several groups, and I still having to be mindful of the attacks of Satan. Believe me Satan has been busy too, BUT GOD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

July was a busy month for most of us. July 4th<\/sup> was Independence Day. People of The United States took this time to celebrate freedom from England.  Of course, I praise God for my real Freedom Day, the day I was set free from sin. I remember it well. It was in a little church on B Street in Richmond, California. The revivalist was Reverend Curly from Mississippi.  My sister Dorothy and my cousin Lucille \u2018got religion on that night\u201d. Today we say \u201cgot saved\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since that night, I backslid more times than I want to remember, but God is faithful. He never let go of my hand, and when July 4th<\/sup>, America\u2019s independence day comes around, I celebrate MY SALVATION with loud praises and thanksgiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then there was another special day in July. We celebrated our Annual Senior Day at the church where I attend. Once again God was good. Pastor John B. Hollman delivered a powerful word from the Lord that truly encouraged all of us.\u00a0\u00a0His topic was \u201cYou Have Not Come This Far Just to Come This Far\u201d. O GLORY! He said 90% of the most difficult things that will happen to us has already happened.\u00a0\u00a0I could hear Lee Williams singing, “I\u2019ve come too far to turn around now<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But wait I celebrated 3 more events in the month of July<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have 2 wonderful children who were born in the month of July; and I answered my calling into the work of God in July 1984 after God proved to my satisfaction that He had called me and not man nor myself. OH GLORY!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep on being blessed to be a blessing precious people of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
