Church Family

the concept of  church family is foreign to  my biological  siblings.  But in every direction  God has sent me in life he has surrounded me  with church  family that stood with me when my family  couldn’t  or wouldn’t.  from the first church i can remember  attending in Buelah, MS to Olive Branch  SDA church wear i am a regular  visitor  and every church in between.  God shows  himself to be  amazing  to me. Grateful  for the Jennings  family and  Maywood  Community  SDAChurch to Sonja Wells-Woodard, the Hall family of Mont Calvary in Tampa, FL to Solomons Porch in Orlando, Fl where the nephew of my sister standing with me served as my Associate Pastor prior to me leaving Florida. to Journey Fellowship where my church membership is held currently. the brothers and sisters in Christ that God has exposed me to let me now that heaven is going to be a huge family reunion. I pray we all be ready.

Humility leads to healing

When pride stands in the way of getting help; you lose the battle. Humility asks for help and wins the war

Oxytocin

Care Bear tribe at large; you all get this hormone that makes baring long term illness possible flowing in me. Grateful for every opportunity I get to connect with members of my tribe.

On a biological level, our body creates a hormone called oxytocin when we connect (even virtually!) with others. Oxytocin is also known as the ‘love drug’ or the ‘hug drug.’ It calms you down, reduces stress, increases happiness, and can even ease pain. It turns out that just talking with your loved ones can actually improve your physical health and pain levels.

Surrender ed to Jesus

How does death change your perspective? death is only a resting period. grief over the death of a loved one hits hard; take no one for granted
