Have you been in a situation where issues in your life are getting rough and you do not know where to turn or what to think? How are you responding to your situation?
I have tried everything, but I have not made serious progress. At times, I am doing too much, but I feel that if I do nothing, I will get bored, and I cannot afford to let that happen. I have …
It is true that God takes you by the hand and helps you through your difficult life. I have seen this in my own life. If I did not make Jesus my Lord, and entrust my entire life to Him, I would have thought of a million things to make my life more enjoyable. Since God has given me a second chance at life, I owe my life in service to Him.
The Bible states in Psalm …
When you and I are going through difficult moments, some of us feel alone, hopeless, and wonder whether our problems can ever be solved. We forget that we are not alone, for God is always with us (Isaiah 8:10; Ps 139:7-10; Ps 46) and He promises never to leave or forsake us (Deut 31:6). Although He knows our difficulties (Ps 139:4), He desires to communicate with us. We feel …
In the weeks to come, I am going to keep you posted on what is taking place with our daughter Jo-an. I am thrilled to see how far she has come. God gives me the strength to care for her and the faith to expect great things. With Him, all things are possible (Matt 19:26). Yesterday, my assistant Ali and I took Jo-an for her voice lesson. Remember the angel that I met at …

About two months ago, I ran into a special lady at Staples store who owns a music school. She explained what the school was all about and we exchanged numbers. Within a month or so, I was calling this angel after deciding that Jo-an will attend her school on Saturdays. At the same time, I had an assistant working with me who will help me to make this possible. We got lost …
It is so interesting that life goes on regardless of our situations. It has been two decades since our daughter, Jo-an, faced special challenges. Everyone I have spoken to, has asked me about her mental condition. I do not know how a mental state begins but I know that God does not want me to dwell on the unknown. We must look to the future because God has promised a future for …

Today, I promise to take our daughter to Church, but the way things are going, it doesn't seem that I will accomplish this. The enemy is adamant that he wants to keep her in this mental state, but God wants to set her free. The state that she is in does not indicate that she will ever be set free. She is not focused on the things of God and she does not always obey …

My daughter is doing so much better now. I tell her how well she is doing and how much God loves her. When she repeats, " Am I okay?" I help her understand how important it is to feel confident because God never leaves or forsakes us. He is forever walking with us and helping us through many life issues, even her issues. For those who are also care-givers, I suggest that you …
My journey helping my daughter began when my daughter was a baby but I do not want to go back that far. When she was thirteen and a half, she became mentally ill and was diagnosed with Schizophrenia. That was the most difficult part of my journey as a mother. My life was turned upside down as I became her advocate coordinating all aspects of her care. I found comfort in …
