By now the fact is established...life can be hard. There you have it. But, remember what Paul said in Philippians chapter 1 ? His statement proclaimed PURPOSE in the middle of hard stuff. Today's Truth: Phil 1: 19, "What has happened will turn out for my deliverance" Deliverance? What is that ... READ the POST

Trusting God in the Hard Stuff, Day 4
This post is late today due to computer and internet problems...hard stuff. That might not seem like hard stuff compared to your hard stuff, but for today, it wasn't at the top of my list for my Thursday morning.

Trusting God in the Hard Stuff, #3
Sometimes the hard stuff seems like it will go on forever, doesn't it? When you are in the middle of it, nothing makes any sense. We can learn much from the story of Joseph in Genesis. I have taken some of this from a teaching by Bob Cull, Things I learned from the life of Joseph. That teaching has ... READ the POST
Trusting God in the Hard Stuff, #2

He not only fixes the broken areas of our hearts and lives, but He redeems anything that was broken to be an ... READ the POST
Power Displayed in Jars of Clay
In the study, Anointed, Transformed and Redeemed, Priscilla Shirer says, " God's goals and plans for us require His power. In our natural abilities we might be able to teach the class, mother the children, stay in the marriage, or write the book, but to fulfill the supernatural purposes of these ... READ the POST
His power working in us
Power is an amazing thing. Without it we would not have much of the convenience that we take for granted. Things like lights and electricity, music playing from our stereo, the ability to blow dry our hair, the joy of waking up to fresh coffee, or the ability to wash our clothes and dishes. ...
