"Adding Value To Your Life!!!"

Ok you guys!I have been here at the Honor Academy for two and a half months and it already feels like two and a half years! It is amazing how God is continuously growing you and preparing you for the future. God has gotten me through every day so far, literally by helping me put one foot in front of the other. These days have not been easy, but as Nehemiah reminds me, the joy of the Lord is my strength!I am also reminded to "consider it pure joy my brothers whenever you face trials of many kinds. Because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. And when perseverance finishes it's work, you are perfect and complete, lacking nothing. These verses get me through the extra long days and I say yes, I will choose joy! Funny, when you come into his presence, all of the day's stress or happenings are washed away and you are just immersed in his cleansing and refreshing presence! My coremate told me, "when you behold God's glory, you reflect it!" Inspiring huh!I would like to first thank all of you...
