Graced For This…Provoked

Graced For This: Contingency
“…And you shall be a blessing [a source of great good to others]” Genesis 12:2c AMP One of my favorite past times is reading. Books have always been my means of escape… as a child when I could not physically remove myself from unfavorable situations, was in need of a challenge I’d pick up a…

It Will Make Sense
Moments when life and love start to make sense help us appreciate the times when we dared to trust God and hoped against hope when it made no sense. We are so glad we didn’t give up, throw in the towel or forfeit. God is so faithful, so gracious and true to His Word. God…
