6 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. Philippians 1:6 NLT As a child I always felt lost — like I didn’t belong anywhere. I knew of God, but thought He sat as a statue […]
Testimony Thursday: “It’s Personal”

Testimony Thursday: “A Season of Wonder without the Wander”
I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4 ESV “I cannot come back to this, Lord … I just cannot do this anymore!” Ever felt these words come bursting out of your chest? For some of us, not just once but maybe two or three or four times over […]
