my word

read and enjoy what God is teaching me everyday as I strive to be an imiator of him and as I long to live life to the fullest until the day that I will stand...no lie facedown...before my King, my Father. "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy." ~ 1 Peter 1:8

Words that come to mind when I think of God

When God works in your life how do you explain to those around you, you can't and shouldn't try because if he wants them to know/understand he will reveal to them, until then, praise him

That I start unfolding
And all I can say is
Hallelujah, hallelujah" - Bethany Dillon
