I have a confession to make. I think Apostle Paul was kind of crazy. Before you think I’M crazy too let me explain. Paul was beaten multiple times by rods. He was pelted nearly to death with rocks. He was shipwrecked three times. Wherever he went he was always in danger. He was in danger […] Read more…
She was broken and bruised running away from the place that she had once called home. She didn’t think twice about what she was doing. All she wanted to do was escape. So she packed her bag and ran as far away as she could so she wouldn’t have to face abuse anymore. Even […] Read more…
They had their hopes set for the Promised Land. Waking up every morning to take one step after another to reach that place they had only dreamt about. The place of freedom and a fresh new beginning.

We’ve all heard the saying: “When life gives you lemons make lemonade”. I think it’s pretty cute and all, but it’s one thing to say something and another thing to actually turn it into reality. “Making lemonade” literally is pretty simple.

Jesus could have come and healed Lazarus when he was still alive. Instead, He waited to raise him from the dead when he was already in his grave. God could have made David become king the day after he was anointed. Instead, He waited 15 years to rise to the throne, many of those years […] Read more…
