I know that alot of people is saying that they are praying for you and your family so am I. I know a little something of what you are going through. You see I lost 3 of my family members all in 1 months time and a week behind each other. So don’t look at this time as a time to cry of sorrow, look at this as a time to make you stronger, and a better women. I know if i can get through it and keep my head up then I know you can. Look at you are famous, I am just a women in college and working with no kids. ‘WHAT NO KILL YOU CAN ONLY MAKE YOU STRONGER!’ You remember that and always keep God first the devil think he got you but you have to let him know who got the upper hand you or him.



Timothy Said on

To the entire Hudson Family ; I know you all must be trying hard to make sense of this senseless situation. Know that you are loved, and that God has your back. He’ll never put more on you than you can bear. Father in the name of Jesus I pray that the blood of Jesus Christ over the Hudson Family and the family of those who committed this, and all involved. I pray that you would give peace as only Lord Jesus you can give peace. Lift every heavy heart in the name of Jesus, and touch their mind body, heart and soul. Give them Joy, give them Gladness, and Above that Salvation and Peace that passes all understanding in the Mighty Name of Jesus I pray AMEN!
