There is something strangely beautiful and wondrous about scars. If you’ve ever studied the body’s healing process, you can’t help but marvel at the mystery of it all.

when God speaks
there seem to be times in my life when God seems more active than at other times. I don’t know if this is just me, or if everyone feels this way. But at times, I feel God is silent, absent, missing or just simply uninvolved. Then at other times, I see such clear and precise [...]

A Mighty Fortress
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; our helper he amid the flood of mortal ills prevaling. For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; his craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate, on earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confide, our [...]

prayer request
Good morning all my online friends…

kept
i’m troubled but i’m not cast down
for you are here with me
though winds may blow and waves will roar
your love will never cease
i will trust you
i will look to you
i will find my rest in you
when the seasons change and storm clouds blow
i’m kept in perfect peace.

I wasn’t able to find a video of the song online, but here are the lyrics… and here’s the link [...]

great things
But be sure to fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.
1 Samuel 12:24
God has done COUNTLESS great things for me… so many that I’m not even aware of all He does to care for and protect me.
I love my Savior and am [...]

every tear
Every tear is in your bottle
Not one is beyond your grasp
God of mercy, grace and compassion
Won’t you answer my prayers at last?
For years I have been praying
For this dream to be realized
Many nights spent asking…yet
these longings seem to be denied.
Give me faith to trust in your mercy.
Give me hope to rest in your ways
Give me patience [...]

the motivation for forgiveness
“But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you” (Matthew 5:44, Luke 6:28).
Why? What’s my motivation to do this? After all, it’s not a natural human response to love those who curse you [...]
