5 months

Are You testing me or am I just under attack?  I’ve been fine for 5 months and now I’m hit with reminders.  I can’t go a day without thinking about the past.  My attention is drawn to the moments I hated and how I am recreating those moments for my...

opposition

If you line up with God’s mission to the Church to further His Kingdom (Matthew 28:19, Acts 1:8), you will inevitably face opposition. Whether it be physical ailments, mental obstruction, or spiritual second guessing, The enemy will do anything to try to disrupt...
