I feel like sometimes I forget in the midst of the whirlwind the power we have in the secret place. We are told that when we pray, go to our room and shut the door to talk to our Father who hears us in secret but rewards us openly (Mat. 6:6). As Believers in […]
My Heart's Pondering
I ponder… a lot. I wonder about God, people, crazy things that happen in our world, and the promises of God. Blogs in this category will offer you a peek into the crazy brain of someone who chases metaphoric butterflies for fun.
