Together Once Again

Goodbye Doña Jelo

Angela Ramirez

1930-2009

This is so incredibly hard to post - Our family, once again, has had to say good-bye to one of our loved ones. Doña Jelo, my husband's mother, has gone home to be with the LORD. With all our sadness we are rejoicing in the fact that she has no more pain and that she has once again been reunited with her husband of 58 years (Don Lupe). We trust that the God of all comfort will hold us in his arms. We ask that you continue to pray for our family.

Congratulations Jose!!!

Congratulations to my nephew Jose! He was named Employee of the Month at work. Come and read what his wife Laura has to say.

Lulu and I

Me and Lulu

Come over to Lulu's Blog and read some funny childhood stories. For some reason I don't remember much of my childhood, but THANK you Lulu for reminding me and making me laugh and cringe at the thought of that brick on my head - lol!. (Just in case you wondered, Lulu is my niece. However, she is more like a sister to me...Love Ya Lulu!)

I Still Trust in Him

"I Will Trust In You" by Danny Daniels

When I can’t see You,
I know You’re here
When I can’t feel You,
I will not fear

I will trust in You, and I will not be afraid
And when the battle is close at hand
I know You’re with me to help me stand

I will trust in You, and I will not be afraid

I will not (I will not)
Be afraid (be afraid)
I will not (I will not)
Be afraid (be afraid)
I will trust in You (I will trust in You)
I will trust in You

And when the darkness is closing in
And I am running against the wind
I will trust in You, and I will not be afraid
’Cause when I’m standing upon that shore
And all the battles have gone before
I will trust in You, and I will not be afraid

I will not (I will not)
Be afraid (be afraid)
I will not (I will not)
Be afraid (be afraid)
I will trust in You (I will trust in You)
I will trust in You

God's Incredible Word

2 Corinthians 4:8-10 - We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; always bearing about in the body the dying of the LORD Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

Matthew 7:24-25 - Therefore whosoever heareth these saying of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a ROCK: And

the rain descended

the floods came

the winds blew and

beat upon that house;

AND IT FELL NOT: for it was founded upon a ROCK.

That Rock is JESUS CHRIST -

Our Sustainer
Our Strength
Our Comfort

Blessed be The Rock and May the God of Our Salvation be exalted!

Farewell Don Lupe

My Strong Tower

There are so many questions, concerns, issues, plans, etc.; there are a ton things swimming in my head that at times all I do is just sit in a fog. However, I am so thankful that even in the midst of MY fogginess – GOD!

God is still God
God is still faithful
God is still in full control

Look at what I read this morning in the “Daily Light”

Those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, LORD, have not
forsaken those who seek You.

The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. ◊I will trust and not be afraid; for YAH, the LORD, is my strength and my song; He also has become my salvation.

I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread. ◊For the LORD loves justice, and does not forsake His saints; they are preserved forever, but the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off. ◊The LORD will not forsake His people, for His great name’s sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you His people. ◊Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us.

Be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

Psalm 9:10; Proverbs 18:10; Isaiah 12:2; Psalm 37:25; Psalm 37:28; 1 Samuel 12:22; 2 Corinthians 1:10; Hebrews 13:5-6.

Then in my Bible reading I read

Matthew 6:27, Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his
stature?

Matthew 6:32-34…your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have
need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take
therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the
things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

I love God’s Word. I love how My heavenly Father knows what I need to hear, what comfort I need to receive. Once again the question that comes to my mind is “how do people survive and function without the LORD?”

I have the LORD, He is My LORD and Savior; He is My Heavenly Father, yet there are those times that I feel so overwhelmed. I still have a choice though, whether to stay in that dip, dark pit or to fall on my face before My Father and cry to Him for help, for wisdom, for understanding. I might not get answers, but HE does lift me up and HE does encourage me, and HE does reassure me that HE ha me, HE is holding and strengthening me with His righteous right hand. HE sings over me and quiets me with His love.

What an incredible God I serve!

Mom's home from the hospital

Hi, one and all!

Just stopping by to say Mom is home from the hospital. Took her to the ER on December 22, 2008 and she has been there since. I would go into so much, but my emotions and state of mind are not at the point where it is safe to write for the entire world wide web to read (all the 5 people that read this blog-lol! Yes, I still have a sense of humor.) One thing I know is that God is still faithful and God is still in FULL CONTROL.

Keep our family in prayer.
