FROM DR. SHELIA'S LAP TOP!

I was thinking, now that is dangerous! Today is a "perfect" day, weather wise. Sunny, in the 80's, a slight breeze and just enough to really mess up your hair. I was thinking, it sure is amazing how a day like this gives me more energy, a feeling of uplift and believe it or not, I want to get out and exercise!! Yesterday, it was extremely windy and cold. Then, a few days ago it seemed like everyday it was raining. I had the "blah's!! You know, we want everyday to be just like this one. But what would our environment look like without the rain? It's the same with our walk with the Lord. We want everything to go smoothly without difficultly. But, guess what my friends.........."life happens!!" I must admit, it's so much easier when the blessings just come flowing in and it seems that for a moment you can relax and let your guard down......but, "DON'T DO IT!".......That's just what the enemy is waiting for you to do. Yes, we have to go through things, but I can promise you that when you come through to the other side we will have learned some things. I Peter 5:8, tells us to be sober and alert because the devil is out to get us. No matter how great things are going for you, don't let down your guard. Even on this beautiful sunny day, I know it will soon end and the rain will return. It is the law of nature and the law of God for my life. SO enjoy those easy days, but just remember the hard ones will come, but Jesus will be right there with you. GOD BLESS! Dr. S

EASTER CELEBRATION

Greetings Friends,
It's a wonderful time of the year! The weather is warming, flowers are blooming and birds are singing the praises of the Lord. I love the Easter Season, however; for the Christian we celebrate everyday the sacrifice that the Lord Jesus Christ made for all of us. My pastor made a statement last evening that really struck my spirit. He said, "It's one thing to call Jesus Savior and another thing to call Him Lord!" What he means is that, it's one thing to know who Jesus is, but another thing to have Him be your Lord. Only if you have received Him as your personal Savior can He ever be your Lord. I pray that this season will draw you closer as you reflect on what God has done for you. We are a blessed people even in the midst of a recession. God is our provision and He cares about us. I pray that you and your family have a very blessed Easter.

Dr. Shelia
