“Whoever digs a pit may fall into it; whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.” Ecclesiastes 10:8 I love this verse. Take a risk with God and expect results.

God and … Continue reading Ecclesiastes 10:8

“Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground,, and having done everything to stand.” Ephesians 6:13 I got to admit that I sometimes find it hard to just stand.

As my eyes opened this morning and the light came through the window, these words came to me.
