Calculated Blessings: Every Tear Counts
()
About this ebook
With a new decade of my life quickly approaching, it is time to write the next chapter. With my main focus in life being geared toward encouraging, empowering, and enriching the lives of others, I have neglected to fully apply these principles to my own life. I want to walk in my destiny and next chapter with boldness and courage. My faith will be the shield to protect me from fear, doubt, and defeat. My positivity keeps me excited, and I live in expectation every day!
Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. (Psalm 40:5)

To those who are wearing the uniform of hurt, disappointment, or shame,
wipe your tears, and change your clothes!
Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord. (2 Kings 20:5)
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? (Psalm 56:8)
I am weary with my groaning, all the night make I my bed to swim, I water my couch with my tears. (Psalm 6:6)
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. (Psalm 126:5)
And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe, help thou mine unbelief. (Mark 9:24)
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto the fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. (Revelation 7:17)
This book is dedicated to four groups of people who have affected my life in a most profound way.
To the Holy Trinity;, because of You, I live and move and have my being. You are my protector, my guide, my healer, my provider, my everything…
To my friends, I can only hope and pray that I have been as good of a friend to you as you have been to me: …inspirational, loving, and supportive among other things…
To my family, especially my daughter and her crew;, Mr. J. (was not the man of my dreams but certainly turned out to be my knight in shining armor—, my prince charming);, my mother;, my father, who fell asleep in April 2014;, my siblings;, and my aunts and uncles;, my cousins;, my nieces;, and my nephews…there are so many that I dare not begin to name them one by one lests I forget one or run out of paper, but please know that I love each and every one of you.
To my former Pastor, Reverend Jim Charles Foster, who has fallen asleep, you will always remain in my thoughts and in my heart. I thank you for
