About Me

I think one familiar short, yet most powerful statement a believer can say is "I’m “Walking by Faith”. At my age, I have been through countless storms, some small and some big. Nonetheless , my faith continues to carry me through. This is my life’s testimony. The world wants you to believe that there is something wrong with a life like mine because I've gone through and I’m still going through. They want you to believe that if you have what the Jones’s have then you are living a fulfilled life. Pretty funny, huh? Well, I walk by faith, and I know I’m God’s best. That should be fulfilling enough, and God is still completing me as I happily tell my story about how more complete my life is. As you walk by faith, you will be strengthened. You need to understand that challenges are merely new opportunities for you to reach your greatness. Finally, know that your life will truly be blessed when everything that you touch will provide you with a blessed life and no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. "Whatever I go through, whatever happens, "Either Way I Win"; whether God heals me here on earth, or heals me by calling me home to be with Him, "Either Way I Win"!

Happy Thanksgivimg

This is the day that is celebrated because of the discovery of America, but it's always a season of giving thanks to God for giving. The food for our survival, family for our support and a Father who gave us His Son.

Remember there are some who have met their threshold of suffering and their struggle might indicate to them that suicide would be the easy way out. The enemy knows that and will test your faith. Remember to look to the Son for your salvation not the sickness of your situation. We have heard this before, but I think it works now, each one reach one, reach out this time of the season and extend the love of Jesus and help encourage someone that there's still hope and He, Jesus can turn anything around.

May God grant His grace to each one who is facing trials today (Psalm 67:1). And may each of us take hope in the promise, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13).

So I leave this with you.
God is the giver of life. He gives, and He takes away (Job 1:21). Suicide, the taking of one’s own life, is ungodly because it rejects God’s gift of life. No man or woman should presume to take God’s authority upon themselves to end his or her own life.


God is the only one who is to decide when and how a person should die. We should say with the psalmist, “My times are in your hands” (Psalm 31:15).

Remember whether God heals you here on earth or calls you home to be with Him, say this to yourself, Either Way I Win. EWIW. In your preparation this holiday season, reach out to your family, friends and those who may not have either, we are all family in Gods eyes. Have a Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving. James Cruse
