There were/are so may days that the spirits of fear and doubt threatened/threatens to conquer me. There were so many days that anger and frustration stalked me. And on these days I would lean on my faith...my beliefs, for comfort. The spirit of God sustained me and I thank my aunt for for my spiritual meals. I hated it but I was well fed spiritually, everyday...Yes, you heard me right. I hated it then and never realized how much of those teachings sunk in and how important they would become in my fight for survival. Yes, my faith was/is my salvation and this is how I feel. The opening verse is now my motto:-There will always be a reason for me to smile each day.
There will always be a reason for me, to smile each day. God’s light is shining in my life and showing me the way; So I refuse to be unhappy, tell me, why should I be sad?
I know within my heart of hearts
that things could never be that bad.
I know the Lord will never give me more than I can bear.
As long as God is in my heart; there is nothing that I fear.
Life’s little burdens will always be removed:
Health, and wealth, and happiness will be improved.
As long as I believe in God and in the power of His love,
whatever help I want or need will come from up above.
I know I’ll get that miracle that I’ve been praying for.
I know that, if I ask for one, the Lord will give me more.
What if you were named as heir to a Will that you knew nothing about and members of your family were being kidnapped and tortured for information they didn't have? What if you went to the police only to find out the Russian Mafia and your own govern
Maria, raised in the Mafia and educated by the gangs of New York, is hunting the man who killed her Akalina, and she will kill anyone who gets in her way.
My dear Pamela, you are an extraordinary inspiration.
Bless you.
