I just want to thank God for his blessings. I thank God that I have a roof over my head, I have food to eat, I have health and strength. Do you know that God says we should ask him for what we need? He will always provide for us. Sometimes he sends people in our lives to help us. I think our Jamaican culture teaches is it is shameful to ask for what we want. It is considered better to suffer than to ask someone for help. At this point in my life, all that shame is gone. When I need something, I ask for it. I don’t have time to be proud or worry about what people have to say or who is going to judge me. At the end of the day, if that person is not paying my bills, their opinion does not count.
Why Am I Here?

Everybody’s Life Has A Purpose
One day I was walking around feeling sorry for myself and questioning my existence and the meaning of life and whether my life had any purpose. I went to the park and I just happened to see a friend that I hadn’t seen for 3 years. We exchanged pleasantries and she asked me how I was feeling and I said I was ok ( even though inside I felt so miserable). I asked her how she was doing. She said she was doing fine. So I asked her where was she working, she said, Don’t you remember you told me about a job and I applied to it and I got it. I told you. I am still there! I was surprised! I didn’t even remember that I told her about a job opportunity and she had gotten it. Instantly with that comment she brightened my day and I felt happy for the rest of the day long after we had said our goodbyes and exchanged numbers. My life had purpose after all. At least I had helped even one person.

Numbers Chapter 11
Numbers Chapter 11
Verse 4 to 6
The People Complain
4 The rabble with them began to crave other food,(J) and again the Israelites started wailing(K) and said, “If only we had meat to eat! 5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic.(L) 6 But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!(M)”
Verse 18 to 23
18 “Tell the people: ‘Consecrate yourselves(AG) in preparation for tomorrow, when you will eat meat. The Lord heard you when you wailed,(AH) “If only we had meat to eat! We were better off in Egypt!”(AI) Now the Lord will give you meat,(AJ) and you will eat it. 19 You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, or five, ten or twenty days, 20 but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and you loathe it(AK)—because you have rejected the Lord,(AL) who is among you, and have wailed before him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?”’”(AM)
21 But Moses said, “Here I am among six hundred thousand men(AN) on foot, and you say, ‘I will give them meat to eat for a whole month!’ 22 Would they have enough if flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? Would they have enough if all the fish in the sea were caught for them?”(AO)
23 The Lord answered Moses, “Is the Lord’s arm too short?(AP) Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you.(AQ)”
The Lord Sends Quail
Verse 31 to 34
31 Now a wind went out from the Lord and drove quail(BD) in from the sea. It scattered them up to two cubits[b] deep all around the camp, as far as a day’s walk in any direction. 32 All that day and night and all the next day the people went out and gathered quail. No one gathered less than ten homers.[c] Then they spread them out all around the camp. 33 But while the meat was still between their teeth(BE) and before it could be consumed, the anger(BF) of the Lord burned against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague.(BG) 34 Therefore the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah,[d](BH) because there they buried the people who had craved other food.
35 From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth(BI) and stayed there.
