I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me – Philippians 4:13

“God has always been there for me, even when I felt I was not making the right decisions in my life. I have been telling myself to hold on a little while longer for years, just putting my trust and faith in Him.”

“I have worked 36 years as a civilian for the Department of Defense with the Department of the Navy. Not saying all days were the best, storms shall pass and you come out stronger; as long as you keep God first. I was blessed to have a job, but I was given a great opportunity to retire early so I’m stepping out on faith and I officially retired July 31, 2015.”

“My daughter, Kennise Baker is the great-granddaughter of the late George Lake. She will be 21 years old August 25th and will be graduating from Radford University in the spring of 2016. As a reward for her academic success, she was awarded a $5,334.00 scholarship to help pay for her tuition. Kennise is pursuing a degree in Social Work with a minor in Health and Aging and is excited about finishing her four year degree at Radford University.”

 Big Sister

Little Brother . . .

They are such a special pair

They laugh and play, have fun all day

With energy to spare

Oftentimes they disagree

But before the daylight ends

They are sitting side by side

The very best of friends

So we will hang these pictures

On the wall for all to see

A big sister, a little brother

Who are special as can be

“Recently I went on a trip to the Dominican Republic with some friends. It was a great time, we went to the beach, saw the night scenes, and had some real Dominican food. I also was awarded the Co-Chair position for a program I am in at Drexel University called BRIDGE. It stands for ‘Building Relationships in Diverse Group Environments’. As Co-Chair, I am the leader of Executive Board Meetings. I help plan trips (Spring break trip) and other meetings for the program. I will graduate this June, 2016 Thank you image5Jesus! But other than that, nothing much has changed. I plan on enjoying the rest of my year at Drexel and look forward to future endeavors.”
