Lent 2018
Lent is the 40 days before Easter, not including Sundays. It is a time set a part to give consideration to the 40 days Jesus spent fasting and being tested by satan in the desert before He began his ministry. Even Jesus set Himself apart for a time on several occasions to call on and be strengthen by God as an example to us that in our busy lives. We need focused time with God to live in this lost and broken world.

Job 23:10
But He knoweth the way I take when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
I accepted Jesus into my heart as a young teenager and became a believer. Shortly after, I was taken away from the Christian atmosphere that I was involved in at that time, not having much to do with church or Christians for some 20 years, living in the fast lane and being in an unsettled and broken life.
It wasn’t until I was brought back to the Cross of Calvary and was baptized at the age of 33, that’s when I saw God’s working hands start putting my life on the right track. That’s when prayers were answered and life’s dreams came together. Then God has allowed me to have a church home, a wonderful Christian family, a beautiful wife and two lovely children, also my extended family, as well as many others to speak of. Thanks be to God for all that He has allowed me to go through in my life, trials, pain and disappointments.
He has given me so much more that I ever dreamed of, or even deserve. I can’t help but share all He has done in my life and I will always thank and praise Him!

Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
