Looking for Answers
I don’t know about you, but I’m looking for answers on a number of things. I have a tendency to ponder the way some things are, to question why they have to be a certain way, wonder what role God needs me to play in a given situation, etc. And I think that’s a totally […]

You Never Know What Is Preparing You
You never know what is preparing you. Seriously, it is rather fascinating to consider. Do you ever look back at certain things in your past and suddenly have an epiphany of what that was preparing you for? Or even realize that if it weren’t for the experience you had had in one area, you never […]
Delight Yourself in the Lord
“Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart.” -Psalm 37:4 Do you take time to delight yourself in the Lord? To build a closer relationship with Him and get to know Him more personally? Church and church groups are nice, but if you don’t already, learn to look […]
