BE CAREFUL!!

Be careful that you do not forget the LORD your God…

Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied,

when you build fine houses and settle down,

and when your herds and flocks grow large

and your silver and gold increase and all you have is

multiplied, then your heart will become

proud and you will forget the

LORD your God,

Deuteronomy 8 : 10 - 14

She was one of the biggest female artists of

her generation — with a string of ’80s and ’90s

Hit singles like I Wanna Dance with Somebody

And more than 100million albums sold.

Millions of fans will find it hard to believe that

THIS was once the wholesome girl admired

for her stunning looks and amazing voice.

• She ended up a paranoid wreck; hopelessly hooked on crack.

• Drugs devastated her once-famous beauty.

• She turned haggard, with dark circles under her eyes and a deranged look on her face.

• She regularly disappeared for days and weeks at a time — holed up in seedy crack dens in dangerous parts of town.

• She blew much of her multi-million pound showbiz fortune on her drug habit.

When high on drugs, she imagines she

Sees demons and is being beaten by

them. The sad truth is that she bites and punches her own body without

realizing it.

The artist who started out aged 11 in a church gospel

choir, encouraged by a family of top singers like her mother

Sissy Houston, first cousin Dionne Warwick

and godmother Aretha Franklin.

Tragically, drug-crazed Whitney has refused all offers of help to get clean and has had failed spells in rehab.

BEFORE

AT THE END

MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING

Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,

for they will surely sprout wingsAnd fly off to the sky like an

eagle.

Proverbs 23 : 5

JESUS IS MY WEALTH

This is what the LORD says: "Let not the

wise man boast of his wisdom or the

Strong man boast of his strength or the

rich man boast of his riches.”

We all, at some point in our lives loved this woman or her music and still do.

Let us not judge or mock her.

We all have been there, just under different circumstances, falling off the wagon is easy, it's how you get up that matters most.
