This scripture can be a great tool for life in general, a great teacher in life lessons and a lifesaver.I don't know any other way to plainly put this in words but to simply say, God knows...He's all knowing. Nothing surprises Him. He cares about every little detail and speck about your life. He knows not only the heart of a person but He knows their motives. Our eyes can be very dangerous and deceitful most of the time. We see only what's in front but not further ahead/down the road like God can see. Our eyes can be our deception that leads to our fall and failures in life. God knew the struggle we would face with our eyes that's why in the book of Psalms and Proverbs you come across passages with God explaining He will direct your steps/paths, not leaning to your own understanding, He'll lead you on the right path, and guide you.What 'may' seem good is usually not for you. What 'may' seem ordained by God is sometimes not of God. That's why our loving Father encourages us to seek His face daily (Jeremiah 29:10), pray continuously (1 Thessalonians 5:17), and to not believe every spirit but to test every spirit, whether they are of God (1 John 4:1). The enemy has a clever way of forming/masking things and people so that in your mind you'll believe that very thing or person was of God but little did you know it was an obstacle waiting like a roaring lion looking for someone to destroy. If the enemy can get control of your eyes then he has access to your mind: Eve, Samson, David are a few the enemy caught their attention with their eyes then eventually captured their mind. I encourage you my brothers and sisters to walk in the Spirit. God is not the author of confusion. He will answer you and reveal truth.

Keep Calm
Ever so often we find ourselves wrapped up in our past. We reflect on the good and bad times with an ex,old friendships, family, a job, and that was was passionate to us. We reflect on the mistakes we've made. We reflect and replay the possibilities concerning the outcomes of past situations; rewinding and fast forwarding the maybes, buts, and ifs. We wait patiently hoping God will put back the same thing we lost back into our hands but still no change, why, because it's time to move forward and that chapter has ended. Though behind the smiles, the laughter,sincerity, poise, and kind heart there is still hurt, tears, and endless pain inside.God's has allowed many of you to let go or to separate yourself from something(s) or someone for a divine purpose. But you still have yet to see the freedom in that very thing He parted you from. The Spirit is saying to many of you: “For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland (Isaiah 43:13)”. Forget what's behind and look forward to what's ahead of you. You have to have the spirit of expectancy deep down in your spirit. Expect a new relationship, a new anointing, new favor, new doors of healing and restoration. In order to expect something new you have to quit holding on to a dead season... "Tell Johnny goodbye...tell Susan it was nice while it lasted but gotta go." You have preach to yourself sometimes. "It's a new year! I'm realizing Lord there are something's and some people I can't bring along in 2014. I'm realizing holding to what's dead is bringing depression, frustration, and stress to my life. I've held on what to what was suppose to go in 2013 for a year but this is the year I'm choosing to Trust you with what you want me to give up!" I encourage you my brothers and sisters to move forward in freedom expecting a new thing. Don't look back...don't turn around...continue moving forward.

New Year 2014
On behalf of the ministry I personally want to thank those who've been faithful since the beginning the ministry has started and throughout 2013. Thank you for your daily prayers. To me that's worth more than sowing into the ministry and buying our seasonal products to help give back to those in need. Your reward is made full in Heaven. At times when you work so hard it feels like your work is in vain.You don't feel appreciated... But I've learn that my Father sees my good works through the work of the Holy Spirit. It's only through Him that I'm able to still stand when I want to give up and walk away. Being a college student, working, and doing ministry isn't an easy task or balance especially caring the weight of my own personal issues including people.2013 was a good year. Some stayed-- some didn't. Some disagreed-- some agreed. All glory to God. The main focus is on Christ and to please Him only the opinion of man is frivolous. People see your glory and are quick to judge you but they don't know your story.The things you had to go through to get where you are today. I don't know who this for but don't worry about your critics. If God opened up doors for you that has people talking then walk with your head up high. If He blessed you financially and people talking about what you're buying, how you're living, and what you're wearing is too expensive let them talk. However God may have blessed you, you don't have a reason to explain yourself to man. In 2014 God is going to expand this ministry more and take it to another level. I'm not sure what it is but I know it's great. I want to leave with these words... Don't make it a resolution to draw closer to God but make it your desire to spend more time with Him so you can experience Him on a different level.Happy New Year!
