Just a quick encouragement for you today – it just so happens that whatever thing that is in your life today causing you to stumble… causing the pain… causing the disappointment… causing the grief, is most likely the very thing God is using to give you a great victory. In other words it’s the catalyst for triumph. But first, you need to stumble… you need the pain… you need the disappointment … because that’s how we grow. Make sense? Consider this…
“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” Romans 8: 37
“But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.” Genesis 50: 20
Those things that fight against us actually help us. If we allow them to, thorns can become our servants.
“So the LORD blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning. For now he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.” Job 42: 12
“And He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 2 Corinthians 12: 9
It’s my passion to write about my personal experiences to make you realize that Almighty God is indeed in the intricate details of your life. Mostly I am here to share things I’ve learned so far in my “race of faith” with you. I am here to encourage you, and let you know that there is hope...

Hi Yvette. Blessings to you and your family also!
Thank you Lori! I needed this today. I am in such a huge battle right now and have been discouraged the last few days. Thank You Lord for never ever leaving our side.
Hi Cherie, it just amazes me how God knows what we need to hear and when we need to hear it to grow and encourage our faith! Thanks for telling me that. Blessings to you, and may you and yours have a great Christmas and a happy New Year
