Job 23:1-17 [1]THEN JOB answered, [2]Even today is my complaint rebellious and bitter; my stroke is heavier than my groaning. [3]Oh, that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come even to His seat! [4]I would lay my cause before Him and fill my mouth with arguments. [5]I would learn what He would answer me, and understand what He would say to me. [6]Would He plead against me with His great power? No, He would give heed to me. [Isa. 27:4, 5; 57:16.] [7]There the righteous [one who is upright and in right standing with God] could reason with Him; so I should be acquitted by my Judge forever. [8]Behold, I go forward [and to the east], but He is not there; I go backward [and to the west], but I cannot perceive Him; [9]On the left hand [and to the north] where He works [I seek Him], but I cannot behold Him; He turns Himself to the right hand [and to the south], but I cannot see Him. [10]But He knows the way that I take [He has concern for it, appreciates, and pays attention to it]. When He has tried me, I shall come forth as refined gold [pure and luminous]. [Ps. 17:3; 66:10; James 1:12.] [11]My foot has held fast to His steps; His ways have I kept and not turned aside. [12]I have not gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have esteemed and treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food. [13]But He is unchangeable, and who can turn Him? And what He wants to do, that He does. [14]For He performs [that which He has] planned for me, and of many such matters He is mindful. [15]Therefore am I troubled and terrified at His presence; when I consider, I am in dread and afraid of Him. [16]For God has made my heart faint, timid, and broken, and the Almighty has terrified me, [17]Because I was not cut off before the darkness [of these woes befell me], neither has He covered the thick darkness from my face.

Supernatural Woman, Rosina Akinola is the founder of Save Our Families Incorporated non-profit organization for families who have lost loved ones due to violence. We are taking back our joy, by the Blood of Jesus. My oldest son Sidney Maurice Jackson Jr. was robbed and murdered on November 21, 2015. He was 19 years old, 6 months away for getting his Associates Degree in Business Management. He was also a new father, who was gunned down one day before his son Jaiden turned one month old November 22, 2015. Sidney was taken from us two days before my 37th birthday November 23rd. Sidney made one bad choice, which, cost him his life. I didnโt find out until he was dead and gone. And by that time it was too late and I didnโt want to hear it. Knoxville, Tennessee is a small city that is dying slowly. This city has lost so many young men and women due to senseless violence. There are so many families hurting as a whole. No one ever realizes that the mothers arenโt the only ones hurting. The Fathers, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends hurt as well. But, everyone grieves differently, because of their own personal relationship with the deceased loved one. But, most of all our youth hurt the most. They do not know how to handle grief at all. Weโve got to be more careful, when it comes to them. They will become severely depressed right in front of your eyes without you knowing it. How can I say this? Well, itโs because it happened to me. I was so wrapped up in the loss of Sidney, two months to the date January 21, 2016 I almost lost my only daughter to suicide. I had to learn the hard way. Iโm trying to prevent other families, from experiencing the same things my family has experienced. I want to be the voice for the mothers who are hurting too badly to SPEAK UP and SPEAK OUT. Iโm trying to help families stay together and support each other. So, many families fall apart after the loss of a family member, especially a child. The Lord is my strengthโฆ View more posts
