Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah were tried by fire. Literally. Their faith was put to the test as they were thrown into the furnace for bowing to their GOD. The men who bound them and who threw them into the flames were immediately burned by the roaring fire. Yet these three calmly walked in the midst, … Continue reading Fires

Faith and Confidence
We all know the story of Daniel in the lions’ den. How his enemies conspired against him to put him there. How his GOD shut up the mouths of the lions and protected him. How even the king at that time was concerned with Daniel’s survival… Oh to have that faith, especially when the trials … Continue reading Faith and Confidence
All Over the Place
So, I’ve been doing a good bit of soul-searching lately. And I’m quite confused. Part of me is like “Oh, okay, that’s gotta be it…” and another part is saying “But wait, what about this…?” Do you ever feel like you take one step forward and five steps back?

Because I think sometimes that the more I talk about some things, the madder I get. It’s really just adding fuel to the … Continue reading Roots
Wanting…
When my oldest child was a baby, the doctor said what goes in will come out…liquid in, liquid out. You know, those words have stuck with me all this time. We are what we consume. Sometimes I go back and read through my posts… and there are things I see that I’ve learned, but never … Continue reading Wanting…
Temporary
Life is temporary. We do not have any guarantees or assurances in life. None. The joke is the only sure things are taxes and death. I can promise you that life is full of heartache. It is full of happiness. Life is a blend of all different types of people coming into your presence and … Continue reading Temporary
