Functioning through a Storm…
As I write this post I am sitting in the airport. As I was traveling making my way to the airport I was in the midst of a real heavy storm. As I was driving I was praying. I was asking God for safety in the storm and I was asking God for a timely arrival so I wouldn’t miss …
It is Not About Me…
Why do we go through trials and tribulations? Why do we endure the hardships of life? Why does it seem like we are being punished? I am sure many of us who have had to endure rough times have asked these questions. Many of us are tricked by the devil into believing that what we have gone through is always …
The Struggle of Faith…

God says that he will never leave …

Spiritual Graduation…
As I am sitting here at my son’s graduation from Elementary school my mind began to think on how he is moving from one level to the next.
