Empowering Children's Lives Through Stories

As I said this is the seventh blog, the Lord has told me to start and I think it may be the most important right now. Like many of you, I am on a wilderness journey and in this blog He is saying tell people how your journey looks. Hopefully, it will be an encouragement.



As I look back over the year, I'm relieved that those times have past and looking back they don't seem that hard. Maybe that is the point of those times that stretch you. The next time you are confronted… Continue

This spirit comes in when we commit idolatry. Yes, us. We may call ourselves Christians but we still sin and commit idolatry.

If you follow God, people will think you’re crazy. I don’t know how many of you out there are listening, but God is talking. All the time. Not only through flowers, trees, a child’s smile, the soft wind, but He is talking to you into your spirit, or with an audible voice you can hear. If you get still enough, you will hear Him talking.
