And so in this new year are you remaining steadfast in what you are facing? We all face life’s problems in different ways…….but HIS way is truly the best way. There is … More REMAIN STEADFAST
If you are like me………you don’t enjoy pain. Pain can be physical, mental and spiritual. There is a deep pain that happens within us that can be far more damaging than we can imagine, but only if we allow it. GOD has us in HIS perfect provision, but often we need to wrestle honestly with … More HONEST WRESTLING
Our wants and our needs are two different things. Sometimes what we want may not be good for us. And often what we need we tend to ignore.

I have found myself often at the end of myself this past week. I have felt overwhelmed and weak. How about you? When I am at the end of myself, GOD begins just there……HE begins where I cannot. GOD HOLDS US IN A WAY NO ONE ELSE CAN And my own sin is an end … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
So it’s not a religion………it’s a relationship. Did you know? The LORD calls us first in HIS own unique way, a gentle and kind way too.

If you want to know whether GOD is the GOD you have faith to believe HIM to be, then you must go to your Jordan……alone. Oswald Chambers says we all must do this, the struggling of our faith and feeling totally alone, except for GOD. Sometimes I find when I think I need to talk … More ALONE AT YOUR JORDAN
