He’s Been Faithful

 It’s the time where we sit back, reflect and think over the past year. There is one word that resonates within me. Faithful. God has been faithful. This past year I have watched God move on and in RJ’s life. Some wonderful things have opened up to him. He’s connected with his family, friends and involved in the church. He is excelling in his academics.  RJ has consistently put God first in his day and because of it- God has been faithful to him.  This has been a time of healing, growth and new beginnings for both of us. My job is a daily gift. I love my church and leadership. I have so much to be thankful for. God truly has been faithful. I don’t know what the new year will bring. I do know that as long as I keep putting Jesus first, He will continue to guide, lead and direct my life. I believe now more than ever before that God has a plan, a hope and a future for both RJ and I. His ways are perfect and He is faithful. God is good.

The pain was deep, and I couldn't stop the tears from streaming down my face. I am thankful for everything you taught me as well as many others. I am thankful for the wisdom and loved you poured out on so many. I'm thankful for the prayers you prayed for they live on. Can I tell you when I feel closest to you? It's when I'm cleaning the ministers' suites. I still remember you telling me to make sure I ironed the sheets. I will admit at first, I inwardly rolled my eyes (I'm sorry for that), but I paid attention because I wanted to please you and learn from you. I will never forget the day you called me from the church and asked if I could
