The reason why I am writing you all is In reference to something someone posted here earlier about how people proclaim to be something that they are not.
Anyway, after reading that I decided I would share with you all a little bit about why I Post the things I Post here.
Ok, what started me to posting the word of god here is that as you all have read. About four years ago, I lost my one and only daughter and grandson due to a car accident.
Well you see one day I decided to write about the things that occurred from the time that I learned of the accident to the day I lay them to rest.
Nevertheless, my intentions is to share my experience with others who are coping with losing Love ones and my hope is that what I share will be somewhat encouraging and a comfort to other people who have gone through the same experience.
So you see, as I begin to write and post the things I had gone through on my page, I begin to get somewhat depressed after I had written so many pages.
Well at that point I somewhat stop writing. You can say I got what they call Writer‘s block.
Anyway, every day at work when I go on brakes I always read the word of god or an inspirational book.
However as I continue to think about what I was writing I just could not get it together, so I could continue writing.
Well As I have say I had became somewhat depressed. Therefore, one day as I was reading the word of god it came to my mind to post and encourage people through the word of god that has been and that is a pillow of strength for me.
Nevertheless, all that I have said above is why I started posting God words of encouragement in comfort here on my pages.
I would like to share one more thing with you all and that is I will be completing my book this year. Because I really do believe the things I went through, the things I experience, and the things I had to indoor all along doing my grieving period.
The legendary story my daughter and grandson left behind.
Is necessary tell, On how many lives their deaths touched on the day I lay them to rest until now.
Therefore, I think it really do need to be told because I do believe it would touch many lives and I also believe that it would give encouragement and comfort to those who are grieving .
It is a sad story but somewhat a beautiful one also.
Anyway, friends I just want you all to know where I stand and where I am coming from here on the net.
Moreover, thank YOU all for all the comment and the response to what I am posting here.
And may god bless each and everyone Of you in a mighty way.
My heart mourns for your loss, you are very strong to offer encouragement others and write a book while grieving. I am blessed to be able to read your words of encouragement Thank you

Actually Nila, Horatio G. Spafford, a forty-three year old Chicago businessman, suffered financial disaster in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. He and his wife were still grieving over the death of their son shortly before the fire, and he realized they needed to get away for a vacation. Knowing that their friend Dwight L. Moody was going to be preaching in evangelistic campaigns in England that fall, Spafford decided to take the entire family to England. His wife and four daughters went ahead on the SS Ville du Havre, and he planned to follow in a few days. But on the Atlantic Ocean the ship was struck by an iron sailing vessel and sank within twelve minutes. Two hundred and twenty-six lives were lost-including the Spaffords' four daughters. When the survivors were brought to shore at Cardiff, Wales, Mrs. Spafford cabled her husband. "Saved Alone." SPafford booked passage on the next ship. As they were crossing the Atlantic, the captain pointed out the place where he thought the ship had gone down. That night, Spafford penned the words"When peace like a river attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea-billows roll; What ever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul" God Bless you and may this work out for your good. Romans 8: and Romans 5:2-4
