The past five months have stretched me more than anything ever has in my life. When the Lord began to take us on a journey of pruning last spring, He took away so many things that we held onto. He called us to lay the dreams on our hearts upon the altar—things we yearned for and things we would’ve done anything to see come to fruition. He called us to take our greatest desires and every passion … [Read more...]

And of … [Read more...]

So if your faith remains strong after being tried by fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world." ~~1 Peter 1:7 I know, it's … [Read more...]
