Glorifying the Lord! That is the main objective in my life. Following, trusting and listening to our Lord, Jesus Christ, is how I will accomplish this amazing gift of grace and mercy that I have been given as an adopted daughter of the Lord. I have been called to do something amazing in my life, not sure how it will all play out, but returning to college to reach a higher level of education is the path He has for me. I’m trusting God to reveal blessings and show me what I can do for Him with…

He was also expected to do his set of obligations to keep the feudal system running. He was expected to grant the lord a fief (Nardo 19). The most common form was an estate or manor. (Nardo 19) It included a house, maybe a small castle, and homes for resident peasants…

remained obedient to God’s will for his life. He grew in his personal relationship with the Lord and the relationships within his family. Joseph’s life is an excellent example and motivation of how Christians today should stay humble and trust that God is in control, no matter what may be awry. Staying steadfast for God in times of darkness will be rewarded with love and light, and most of all, the pleasure of the Lord. God tested his faith, and Joseph had stayed strong and even grew in his…

left a trail of angry noblemen and lords in their wrath. The Black Death caused Lords to no longer be able to manage, protect and produce what they otherwise would be able to and whole towns and cities shut down, causing a loss of necessary jobs. Things like the hue and cry and tithings no longer worked properly. It was certainly much harder to hold a manorial court with people who were afraid to leave their houses and so the system could not work as usual. As lords lost their power, peasants…

offered to oversee the construction, and built 52 beautiful new homes for these families, right on the same spots where the hurricane had destroyed their old “homes” (mud huts, small lean-to’s and some very small block buildings). Then we painted the houses and bought brand-new furniture, sheets, pots and pans, and everything these families needed to start their lives again. This was all possible because of YOU!

The House on Orange Road We didn’t always live in the house on Orange Road. Before that, we lived on Gibbs with a backyard always full of life, before that on Catherine Street, apartment #2, which was like heaven on earth squashed in a 40 by 80-foot apartment. Before that, we lived on Main Street in a smaller apartment, which was the exact opposite, and before that I was not born yet. You could say I moved around a lot in 15 years, but all of our focus while moving around was a 3-acre lot, next…

the backyard. On a whim before going out I decided to let all three of our cats outside. However, I kept one with me by putting a harness and leash on her. I decided so that she could keep my friend and I company while we figured out our tree house. When I finally got her situated I turned to my brother and tried to join me. I thought since it was just the two of us we could use all the help we could put the plywood into the tree. Nonetheless, he was immovable. I was at least able to…
