SPEAK TO THE DARKNESS: Looking back, looking ahead...

The suddenlies!

Welcome to my November post! God moves in the suddenlies! Treasures Of Hope image From little things, big things grow. When a door of opportunities closes, l ittle grace becomes enough grace. We grope in the darkness of the valley until a glimmer of light appears. Hope! Ju st a little hope, is enough hope, so you hold on to that. When the unexpected happens, will my mustard-seed faith move the mountain that blocks the way forward? Jesus said, " if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you" Matthew 17:20.

I had prayed about goin g to this in the past but I'd been so consumed with work and other commitments that I'd forgotten about it. U ntil now, and I thanked G

God is on our side

WELCOME TO MY BLOG! "If God is for us, who can be against us? " Romans 8:31 (image source: stephensizer.blogspot.com) What a great promise to believe God for in 2012!

It's time to look ahead! One of the values I had learned from my late father's life was that of ' perseverance. ' He believed in hard work ("if you don't work you don't eat... you become poor").
