I want to take the time to thank all that prayed, showed their love and support during my rigorous journey in pursuit of my M. Ed. I am officially done. Last paper submitted an hour ago. It has been an rewarding and trying experience. The death of my father, Jack, who I was named after :-) occurred during this journey.
It was difficult, but I pressed my way in honor of my father. I miss him! I have experienced so much in this pursuit. The loss of my father, toil, turmoil, turbulence, loss of relationships/friendships, a great amount of hurts, pains, disappointments, discouragement, ministry disappointments, and the list goes on, but I made it!!!
I can truly say, BUT God! And for this I'm forever grateful to the Lord and you. Truly if it had not been for the Lord on my side, where would I be. May the Lord bless you for your prayers on my behalf.
It Is Finished!!!

What If?
What If God didn’t care? I’m so glad He does. Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all you concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. I Peter 5:7 (AMP)
What If God didn’t love us? I’m so glad He does. For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. John 3:16 (AMP)
What If God couldn’t be trusted? I’m so glad He can. Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 (AMP)
What If God doesn’t help? I’m so glad He does. I will lift up my eyes to the hills [around Jerusalem, to sacred Mount Zion and Mount Moriah], from whence shall my help come? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:1-1 (AMP)
What If God didn’t clothe and feed us? I’m so glad He does. And [Jesus] said to his disciples, Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious and troubled [with cares] about your life, as to what you will [have to] eat; or about your body, as to what you will [have to] wear. Luke 12:22 (AMP)
What If God didn’t know your thoughts? I’m so glad He does. Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! Psalm 139:23 (AMP)
What If God had no expectations of you? I’m so glad He does. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV)
What If God never showed us the way? I’m so glad he does. Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me. John 14:6 (AMP)
What If God left us without power? I’m so glad He didn’t. Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possess]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.
Luke 10:19 (AMP)
What If God didn’t give us joy? I’m so glad He did. And be not grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold. Nehemiah 8:10 (AMP)
What If God left us without hope? I’m so glad He didn’t. To whom God was pleased to make known how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is the Christ within and among you, the Hope of [realizing the] glory.
Colossians 1:27 (AMP)
What If God left us without friends? I’m so glad He didn’t. The man of many friends [a friend of all the world] will prove himself a bad friend, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24 (AMP)
What If God wasn’t Great? I’m so glad He is. Great is the Lord and highly to be praised and His greatness is [so vast and deep as to be] unsearchable. Psalm 145:3 (AMP)
Take a few moments and think about the What Ifs. The What Ifs are infinite, because Our God is. He is Omnipotent (almighty or infinite in power, as God), Omniscient (having complete or unlimited knowledge, awareness, or understanding; perceiving things), and Omnipresent (present everywhere at the same time). You have to give Him the praise, glory, and honor. God tells us to give honor where honor is due. One thing that is sure, He deserves all the honor and all the glory.
In conclusion, What If I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and personal Savior? I’m so glad you asked! ETERNAL LIFE

Time-Relationship
It takes time to work on relationships. Patience and understanding are pillars as well as love and respect. There is one relationship we sometimes neglect and fail to strengthen. This relationship is a Time Relationship. We must develop and enhance our relationship with time.
Time is of the essence. Time is valuable. Time can work in our favor or against us. We must understand time. One thing to remember is that time waits for no one. The clock keeps ticking and time keeps moving. We can get stuck in time. Growth is connected with time. Productivity is connected with time. Increase love and friendship is connected with time. Short-term and long-term goals are connected with time.
If we want to see fruit and be fruitful we must understand the time factor. Many people spend money and time on time-management courses and books. Needless to say, the feelings of defeat and hopelessness interrupts the efforts of many. The point is to move from theory to application. Discipline is a friend of a Time Relationship. Make it a goal to develop a relationship with Time.
Time Relationship, it works!!!

Keep it Simple!!!
Keep it Simple! Jesus did. He preached the gospel of the kingdom of God. It is God's desire that none should perish. Everyone should be able to hear the good news in a comprehensible way. And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? ..... we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. Acts 2:8-11 Keep it Simple!
Jesus is not trying to trip souls up. He wants them to understand, so they can make a decision for eternal life. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:29-30. Keep it Simple!
Everyone needs to hear the gospel. The educated, uneducated, old, and the young. 'But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Mark 10:24
Remember, Keep it Simple!
