Today my devotional reading took me to Hebrews 11:8-12. I love the way Abraham is described in verse 12-
“Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.”

This led Wally and me to build a cross in our front yard strung with Christmas lights to serve as a testimony of encouragement to passersby.
This week I’m continuing to pray through the PIC I shared in last week’s post, More Than Getting Through–
In this passage endurance is a key word. God allows times of trial to produce endurance in me, and I should rejoice in this. Continue reading “One Word is ENDURE”
My connect group is currently studying through the book of Romans, and yesterday’s lesson brought a scripture to mind that I had memorized a few years back when going through Margaret Feinberg’s study, Fight Back with Joy. Let me take a moment to highly recommend this study-
In it Margaret dives into the Word through study, scripture memorization, and journaling to share how we were meant to fight life’s toughest battles- with JOY! Continue reading “More Than Getting Through”
