Strength from Above

Let me introduce you to the beautiful and blessed Amy Lynn. Through Pink Love Ministries I had the honor to developed a very blessed relationship with her through Gods love of letters of hope. The weekend she got out my husband and I had the great honor to meet her and take her out to eat. 

Here is a picture of that day, September 20, 2014.

God has led me to allow her to write this months

May you be abundantly blessed her heartfelt truth.

Isaiah 41:10

"Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious hand."

I was recently incarcerated in a Florida State Prison. I often would ask myself how I would survive. I decided to give my life to none other than God. I was weary at first and battled with myself more often than not. I often wondered if this so called God was real and could He really change my heart and my way of thinking. I often got very discouraged and at times would feel lost and alone. The moment I truly decided to give my whole being to God I realized that there was a God. And as long as I give my heart to Him He will give me the strength that I need. Today I live for God and rely 100% on Him. At times when I feel discouraged or anxious I bow my head and pray for the strength that God has promised me in Isaiah 41:10. With God's love and mercy and strength today I can say that my strength comes from above. Remember with God all things are possible and life 

without Him is merely not a life.
