Become Optimistic About Your Future
It’s OK to be optimistic about your future, because better days can be ahead. Psalm 30:5b tells us that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. The Lord is writing a new chapter, and you should walk forward optimistically into it. So allow yourself to remain hopeful, and look for […]
With God’s Strength, Overcome, and Walk into New Spaces!
When you look back and see the places that you have walked through, you realize that there is nothing you can’t overcome with God’s strength. As my husband and I reflected together this evening, we recalled some of our hard health challenges and their experiences and how the Lord not only walked us through but […]
