I am taking a little sabbatical from posting. I am about to go overseas for a few weeks on back-to-back mission trips and need the time and energy channeled toward those endeavors. I\u2019ll start posting again in September. Thanks for reading and enjoy some of my previous posts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traveling Partners<\/a> \u2013 \u201cWe have a traveling partner; He is always with us. He will never abandon us. Not everyone has this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lessons in Love<\/a> \u2013 \u201cLove can make your brain forget to breathe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impossible to Unbelievable <\/a> – \u201cGod wants to take you from the mundane to the impossible to the unbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A life Worth Living <\/a> – \u201cThe reality is that God puts people in our lives as part of His plan for us. Through them, He can speak to us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 1:1-6<\/strong>, \u201cHappy are those who reject the advice of evil people, who do not follow the example of sinners or join those who have no use for God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the Lord, and they study it day and night. They are like trees that grow beside a stream, that bear fruit at the right time, and whose leaves do not dry up. They succeed in everything they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But evil people are not like this at all; they are like straw that the wind blows away. Sinners will be condemned by God and kept apart from God’s own people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The righteous are guided and protected by the Lord, but the evil are on the way to their doom.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
