After years of thinking, I am finally stepping out and starting this blog. I read in a devotional this morning "the things God deposits in your spirit in the midst of suffering are the same things that someday other people will desperately need." There was a lot deposited in my spirit when I went through some of the worst suffering I've had in life and I have wondered what I was supposed to do with it...from that suffering was birthed 'Love Matters'. There are things that I have been through, and continue to experience, that just may help someone else. Often times we might feel like no one else understands or that no one else feels the way that we do, but that's just because we aren't always willing to be transparent with our feelings and experiences.
I learned in through my hard times how much I was loved by God and that His love is what mattered most in life. As I go through another test in my life, I am reminded of His endless love and unfailing promises. I am reminded that these tests build my faith. I am reminded that pain comes, it is a part of life. I am reminded that regardless of anything that happens, I am loved by God...I am chosen by God. He is my protector and my provider. Nothing is happening in my life that He did not allow and since He allowed it to be He has also already prepared a way for me. He is the creator and maker of ALL things. He has a plan and He will make sure that no matter what, His plan comes to pass....and in that plan I HAVE VICTORY!

Peace & Blessings!
