We Get Knocked Down AND We Get Up Again




Wow, it has been busy the past few days. A lot of work happenings and a lot going on with family as well. All things good (Praise GOD). It seems the stronger our faith is, the less the negative is able to affect us.

This past weekend, Mike was asked by some friends from work to share his testimony at their church. It was for a youth group, and the response and support that was received and felt, Mike was so proud and honored to have been a part of this. We met a lot of youths that reminded us that just years ago, we were in their shoes and facing the same struggles as they are and the most important thing for you to have during these times is GOD and to never lose sight of what he has done, is doing and is going to do.

As for me, I have been offered a new position with my company that will take me away from Beautiful Downtown Houston, but offer much stability in this ever changing Real Estate Market. My current building is for sale and will be under contract soon and with no guarantee that we will continue management on it, the VP of my company offered me a position at a really nice building in the River Oaks area. I am really excited for the opportunity, new scenery and the continued education I will receive to add to my profile.

I received an email today and was reminded "Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble - Psalm 119:165” How true is this in our daily lives? Does it ever feel as though sometimes things are just going so very well, maybe almost too well and BOOM, something happens to instill doubt, fear, unwanted anxiety in your mind? These thoughts can be stumbling blocks to you along your path if you allow them. It goes onto say “the enemy has strategically placed all kinds of stumbling blocks in our paths. When we make the Word of God our number one priority, it helps us to move forward with our eyes wide open. His Word lights our path and helps us see clearly where to step”.Mike and I have had and we continue to have “stumbling blocks” thrown in our path by the enemy, yet with our hearts and a mind focused, GOD remains first and does continue to light our path to ensure we may stumble, but we are surely not to fall.

Family and Friends, as I have said before, GOD does not ask much from us. He asks of us to be faithful and put complete trust in him throughout our days. He asks that when we have doubts or struggles, that we come to him and know that he only wants the best for us. He knows the paths we are set upon and he knows the enemy will use all means to attack us on our spiritual path – ALL Means.

I can advise you just from personal experience and it stands so true…Do not seek to hurt the ones that hurt you – pray for them…pray hard and hope that they are praying for you as well.
