Weekly Verse and Song for Tonight Weeks 42 - 49
Week 33 August 20, 2014
Proverbs 1:8-10
8Hear, my son, your father’s instruction,
and forsake not your mother’s teaching,
9for they are a graceful garland for your head
and pendants for your neck.
10My son, if sinners entice you,
do not consent.
My Brother Leo sent that verse out. I did a quick study of it as amongst Hebrews father was used for teachers, however mothers in this verse is used for mothers. Today I met an Auntie who knows my mom, and I asked her if she knew and she did. She gave me a big hug nice person. We were talking about mothers and how much it means as her, herself is a mother. This verse goes on and gives instructions as some are prone to wander and slight what their mother has taught them as they get older.
The truth is I fall into this camp. I was reflecting this week how many times my mom would teach me things and I would be a bit annoyed. For example I was sharing on Sunday with my siblings how my mom one day at a Church Service as the offering plate was going around, said "You could serve like that" mom was telling me to serve in a ministry to help the Church out. At the time I was annoyed, but years later I recalled my mom telling me that as I was serving in that exact capacity.
Mom through your love and direction I learned a lot. I know I should have not ignored the things you taught me.
The beauty of my life is now with Christ. Because of Jesus I always want to stand and say I live because of Him. So do you mom.
I love you mom and I will see you soon. Praise Jesus!
For Jesus!

Week 34 August 27, 2014
Isaiah 26:3English Standard Version (ESV)
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.
I love my mom, but I love Jesus more. The hardest thing in this world in my thoughts is to know that we will not all be here on Earth together forever. This world will end. I use to think that my mom would be here on Earth until Christ returns. In the back of my mind I think Jesus was preparing me for this time.
I do admit my passion to go and spread the good news of Jesus has increased since my mom left. More so I deal with controversy with family this week, even as I do I keep my mind on Christ knowing His ways are right. For the wrong I have done my mind stays on Jesus and I know I am not sinning. As the Bible says"Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger," Ephesians 4:26
I love you mom, I know someday I will see you again, until that day I know the mission of every Christian is to go out and spread the news of Jesus Christ.
I'll be back mom. Thank you Jesus.

Week 35 September 3, 2014
Isaiah 53:5 (ESV)
But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.
This is the start. In 22 days it will be one full year that my precious mom left this world cross the river into the presence of Jesus Christ. As God spoke in the book of Isaiah 43:2: "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you."
My mom is my best friend I still remember on the day I got married when my mom was ironing my tux my mom looked at me and said "Always remember your mom is your best friend". I'll always remember that mom and I love you for saying this.
In Isaiah 53:5 the prophet records what would bring us to God. Jesus died on the cross for our sins He was made to bore our sins and be the one and last sacrifice to God. By accepting Him we too can pass through the rivers as we pass from this life to a life with Christ.
My mom accepted Christ and today my mom is in His presence. I love you Lord for the supreme sacrifice you made for me, with that death is not the end and one day I will see my mom and most importantly I will see the one who "...was crushed for our iniquities; upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with His wounds we are healed."
Thank you Jesus.
God gave you to us on a loan, you never gave up caring for me and now you are home in Heaven, I miss you, I love you mom, see you soon.

Psalms 119:50 This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life.
This is continuing. In 15 days, it will be one full year that my precious mom left this world cross the river into the presence of Jesus Christ. As God spoke in the book of Isaiah 43:2: "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you."
Miss my mom today and lately so much and wonder what my mom is doing. As I study scripture and think about everything I realize God and exists outside of space and time. I realize my mom perhaps doesn't miss me because there is no time there, and for me that's comforting. Although I can't be certain at this point.
Mom I'm NOT making you an Idol I just respect you and miss you, this is just a way for me to never forget, to journey my feelings and thoughts about you and Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior and to never take life for granted. I know that my calling (and all Christians) is to bring those to you Lord. I will continue to walk and lead others to Christ. Even though Lord I feel afflicted, I know your promise gives me life.
I love you mom and as I always say when I leave home... I'll be home soon. Thank you Lord. Glory to Jesus my Lord and Savior.

Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit
This is continuing. In 7 days, it will be one full year that my precious mom left this world cross the river into the presence of Jesus Christ. As God spoke in the book of Isaiah 43:2: "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you."
Today I decided to text one of my friends from Grief Share, Phyllis. She is struggling a lot, and I decided to call her, but after listening to her on the phone I was so encouraged at her resolve. It reminds me of Job who was a man of God, yet the Lord Himself allowed Job to be afflicted by Satan. He lost everything yet he did not curse God. My friend is still trusting God in the midst of the current storm she is in.
My mom without speaking taught me to be there for others, I saw how my mom loved helping people at one of the Churches we attended. My mom was essentially giving back which in effect encourages and ultimately we point back to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. I was there for my friend today by God's grace but it encouraged me, as we shared Jesus.
My mom I miss you so much what you have taught me lives on in me, and ultimately through this may others see Jesus who is in me.
I love you mom and I will see be home soon. What a joy it will be to meet you Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:55-57English Standard Version (ESV)
55 “O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?”
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

As God spoke in the book of Isaiah 43:2: "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you."
Today I start wondering if I am making my mom an Idol. If I am I know this would be so wrong. The purpose of this section of the site is to highlight my mom and reflect what mom has done for me and to be used as a therapy session for me. They say journaling your feelings can help you overcome grief, sorrow, etc. As I write this page I continuing pointing back to Jesus Christ.
As tonight's verse states Death has no victory any longer. The questions are answered in that sin is the sting that causes death. The reason Death has no more victory is because of Jesus Christ.
My mom -since I was a kid-I have wondered about the day my mom would no longer be here. That day came about a year ago and now I am living in that time. I miss my mom but as I reflect a bit I think of all the things my mom has taught me and I grow from that.
I know death is not the end because of Jesus Christ and I will see you home as I'll be home mom.
I Love you mom. I Love you especially Jesus.

Psalm 100:4-5
A Psalm of praise
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Tonight's verse was sent to us from my sister Amy.
One year has passed and I still find it hard to believe. I honestly don't think it ever seem real, as I write these words I am reminded why it doesn't seem real. The reason is because my mom is not really gone. When something dies it ceases to exist, we as humans are embodied with a spirit and body unity. When the body ceases the spirit the soul continues on. Today my mom is in HIS courts, the reason for it is because God provided us mercy when we truly deserved death, when we truly deserve separation from Him.
We will never truly die, our souls will go on forever to live with Jesus or separated from Him forever.
I love you mom and I will see you soon. I LOVE you Lord and I need you Jesus.

Jeremiah 32:27
“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?
As days go on I have to be honest and say it gets a little easier knowing that my mom is not here, I miss my mom, I cherish my mom, and I love my mom. I think of my mom passing from this life to the next to be with Jesus Christ and when I do it gets harder, but the reality is we all will. What is sustaining me? Only God.
I feel strong a leading to minister to those in the Scientific community who disregard God as nothing more than a fairy tale. Reach out to them and get them to think of Jesus Christ. I think this leading by God gives me a sense of purpose in this life knowing that when I pass from this life I will be following Jesus' commandment. Matthew 28:19 "Therefore go and make discples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit".
As I make strides toward this I know it's not me but God as Jeremiah 32:27 states.
