Sometimes I have nothing to do but think? Think about family, think about us, think about where I have been, think about where I'm going? In life I have always looked for signs to show me the right way, especially after my first wife of ten years divorced me after I got hurt at the refinery I worked at, but I got lost. I had 4 beautiful kids with her, 3 boys and 1 girl. That was in 2003. I lost my family, I lost my health, and my mind.
She kept my kids from me even though I paid child support every month. I fought with her in family court for 13 years to see my kids. She never once obeyed a court order? I had alot of time to think then? When I had a chance to goto the school events I would. I was at every game they had. Eventually things worked out. I shared custody of our youngest these last ten years. And these last 3 years I finally have my 3 oldest back in my life, and a baby granddaughter I get to watch and see every week.
I met a girl after the divorce who was my friend and helped take care of me because I am very sick from the chemical accident at the refinery back then. I didn't have anything left in this world but hope. Hope that Jesus would save me and help me. And He did. I married this girl and after being friends for 6 years we got married. We have been married ten years last October. She had a little boy back then. No father in his life. So even though my kids were being withheld from me, God blessed me with a boy who needed a father. So I fathered him. He is 22 today. I gave him my heart and love.
I don't believe in divorce. But it does happen. My doctors told me in 2003 I would be lucky to have 10 years no more to live before the cancer would get the better of me. It's been 17 years since then, and no more cancer. I never thought I could love again, and I have never been loved by someone like my wife loves me. I never thought I would ever get my children back in my life, or them letting me back in there's . But God showed me different.
Jesus Christ carried me threw those bad times. He taught me alot of life lessons. And without Him in my life I would have nothing. I never lost hope. I fought, and fought, and withstood and never gave up. So today I just want to say that God put so many people in my life to help me along the way and threw some of the worst storms of my life.
In life we always lose our way, but it's people, not the signs that guide us back to the right path. Fight for Jesus, fight for you, fight for your family, and keep your hope alive. I love my Jesus and He put you and your family in my heart today and that's why I am writing this to you. May God bless you and your family. Amen
Jeremiah 29:11 11For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

It's easy to feel hopeful on a beautiful day. But there will dark days ahead of us to. There will be days where you will feel all alone. And that is when hope is needed most. No matter how bad it gets or how lost you feel you must promise me that you will hold on to hope. Keep it alive! We have to be greater than what we suffer. My wish for you - to become hope. People need that and even if we fail what better way is there to live.
As we look around here today, and at the people who helped make us who we are, I know it sounds like were saying good bye. But we will carry a piece of them into everything we do next. To remind us of who we are, and for who we were meant to be.
Sometimes there's nothing to do but think? Think about family and loved one's, think about us, think about where I have been, think about where I'm going? In life I have always looked for signs to show me the right way. And regardless I have gotten lost in my life. In life we lose our ways sometimes. But it is people, not the signs that guide us back to the right path. My grandmother always told me to put good out into the world and it will come back to you.
Sometimes it's good to visit the past, to know where you are now. But can't live in the past. We have to live for today. And the future, whatever that might bring? I have faith in you. If Jesus Christ is your Saviour, you will never be alone in this world. And that's why I am writing to you today, because He put you in my heart and in my prayers. May God Bless you! Amen

John 14:16, 17, 18- 16.and I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever (The Comforter is someone who comes to help us). 17. Even the Spirit of Truth; Whom the world cannot receive, because it sees Him not, neither knows Him; but you know Him; for He dwells with you, and shall be in you (He dwells in you). 18. I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you (He will come to you-The Holy Spirit).

Comforter means someone called to your side to help you, comes to our aid, one who defends you, encourages you and helps you for Jesus. In Latin Comforter means-Com means with, Fort means strength, fortify, fortification. So Comforter means with strength in other words the Holy Spirit of God doesn't come to pamper us. The Holy Spirit working in our lives as the Paraclete. The One called alongside us to help us. He don't come to pamper and baby us. The Holy Spirit of God comes to Fortify us. He says your going threw difficulties. He says He's going to do more than sympathize with you, I am going to enable you , counsel you, and empower you, and strengthen you, and I'm going to see you threw.

Jeremiah 29: 11For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Battles, troubles, heartaches will come. When the time comes fight, when you can't fight-Withstand. Fight! Withstand! Don't give up!

1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him,
