Antonio starts his first day at UCF (University of Central Florida) on Monday. May he find his way on this new chapter in his life.

Pastor Jessica's sermon today about the unpredictability of life and how water symbolizes the discomfort we all experience occasionally really had me thinking about this man I met at the beach about a month ago. I don't know this man personally but I saw him sitting alone on the beach with a 12 pack of beer. I was there to take photos of my friend's proposal and I thought to myself " this guy's enjoying life" and when I wrapped up my photoshoot I said to him "it's a good day for that." He began asking me if I had seen the other family on the beach with their daughter and how they let her run around in the water by herself while they collected stones. I said yeah but before I could get another sentence out he begins to loudly speak about how unsafe it is to let her out there alone. He told me he yelled at the family to keep a close eye on her but they shrugged him off and proceeded to leave. At this point I was thinking this guy was just drunk and I can see why the others left. But then he proceeded to tell me that his son drowned right there on that same beach 16 years ago. My heart sank in that moment. I was unsure what to say. I don't remember my exact words to the man but I tried my best to offer my condolences before I also left. I thought of this man today and prayed for him. I hope he finds his peace.

My grandpa had heart surgery, he made it out alive but is not feeling too hot. I was asked to have some people at church pray for him. Thank you so much

My sister Monica who has cancer hasn't been feeling good at all please pray for healing from cancer

Update on Financial Aid: They have updated their system and collected all of the required documents for the application so now we are on the home stretch they said about 7-10 days before I hear what their offer is should I receive one Lord knows I need a break financially so I really need prayers I get this Pell grant for my schooling and maybe even get more than I need so I have a financial cushion so I don’t have to worry about not making rent or other bills while I’m going through school given some days will cut into my work schedule making my checks shorter than they already are. I hate making prayer requests about finances God has been so good to me this past year and I feel closer to Him day by day and I am so thankful for those blessings. I know He is proud of how far I have come and I am never going to stop pursuing Him. Satan has lost me. The only dancing I do now is with Jesus. Thank you all for your continued prayers.
