Reading Exodus 34 this morning and verse 7 struck me. “I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations. I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But I do not excuse the guilty. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children and grandchildren; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations.”
This verse is referring to generational sins—not if I sin by lying to my boss about being sick when I’m not, then my children will pay for that sin. Children are NOT punished for the sins of their parents nor are parents punished for their children’s sin (see Deuteronomy 24:16 and Ezekiel 18).
Exodus 34:7 convicted me of those sins in my life that I see my children replicating. Sins that make me bow my head in sorrow because I see sinful behaviors in my children that they have learned by my example. Sins I commit that impact my children as a natural consequence of my disobedience. It’s hard having that mirror put up in front of my face and seeing my own sinful behavior playing out in my children!
I once noticed my daughter acting like a real brat in the way she was talking to someone and then it hit me—she sounds just like me! That is an example of a generational sin passed down to children and grandchildren.
The problem with generational sin is that it can get so deeply embedded into who we are that it can take several generations to reverse. (Exodus 20:5-6) We sometimes hear, “that’s the way my mama did things, or, that’s how my daddy did things.” Our job as believers is to evaluate those behaviors of our ancestors that we tend to imitate, determine if they are good or if they are sinful, and if they are sinful, we are called to break the cycle. It starts with ME. If I’m exhibiting sinful behavior, I have to recognize it, confess it, and repent of it. Repenting of it means turning and going the other direction. Stop it.
None of us are perfect and we will all mess up. But God is gracious and he lavishes His unfailing love on all His children—those who are called according to His purpose. I am so thankful for a forgiving Father!

Beautiful thoughts from my dear friend, Mitzie, on the sanctity of life
Before my devotions I love to read the Psalms and because this was already underlined in Rachel Mackenzie Wheeler’s Bible that I’m reading, my eyes landed on Psalm 139:13-16. I’ve read this Scripture many times before to affirm my value to my Heavenly Father or the value of another person to whom I’m speaking. But God often uses a Scripture to show me something entirely different. And this time, it was about Him not me.
“My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth,
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.”
God spoke the world into existence creating a beautiful masterpiece. He, an artist using His spoken Word as a paintbrush, created light and colors, and space and water and land and animals. But when He made man, He did not speak Adam into existence. He used His very hands to form him out of clay and then breathed into Adam His own breath of life. When He formed Eve, he fashioned her from Adam’s rib painting a beautiful picture of marriage when a husband and wife walk side by side.
And then He created the way that you and I came into existence. In these verses, I see a heavenly artist creating a baby yet to be born. Creating me. In secret. I was hidden from my mother and father for weeks before they knew about me. But in that time, really before that time, my heavenly Father was the only one to know this little secret that one day would be me. I can just see Him smiling, so proud of His creation waiting in anxious anticipation for the revealing of His artistic work that one day will be a masterpiece.
“Skillfully and wonderfully wrought.”
“Your eyes saw my substance being yet unformed.”
Can you see that artist working and reworking His masterpiece until He says, “Yes! You are the fulfillment of my vision! But you will be a work in progress. I will leave a spot open in my divine creation that only I can fill when you choose to know Who your Artist is.”
You and I were not spoken into existence. For nine months, We were knitted together. Kept in secret from the rest of the world. Until the Artist chose to reveal us. Our mother’s only getting a hint of who we might be.
His thoughts are of me. His thoughts are of you. We are His living masterpiece created for a relationship with Him.
“And in Your book, they were written, The days fashioned for me.”
Think about that! Each day of my life; each day of your life was written down before we were ever born because these works He fashioned would require ongoing refining. He knew we would need touching up from the dings and scratches He knew we would encounter. We need only to fill that missing spot with the knowledge of Him when we accept His Son as our Lord and Savior.
So today, I marvel at the Creator. My Creator. His heart is for us not against us. He had a plan and purpose for our existence. Our lives were not left to chance or coincidence or to be controlled by our circumstances.
The masterpiece is yet to be finished in us. We are still a work in progress. That work will not be made complete in us until we stand before the Artist, the Master, our Creator and He says, “You were always Mine. My work in you is complete, and you now have your rightful place with Me.”
Oh, how He loves you and me!
Discouragement and how to overcome it.
Ladies, do you get discouraged? I know I do. All of us deal with discouragement at some point in our lives. The definition of discourage is to deprive of courage or confidence. Some synonyms of discourage are dishearten, dismay, demoralize, and frustrate.
There are different levels of discouragement. Mild discouragement happens to most of us on a regular basis. This can be caused by minor problems in our daily lives that can affect our emotions but are usually not long-lasting and might not even be noticed by others. For me, discouragement happens when my expectations are not met. I expect certain things to happen a certain way, and when they don’t go how I expect, I get frustrated, disappointed and feel let down.
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
Strong discouragement happens when we are faced with more serious problems. Others probably notice when we experience this kind of discouragement. We will likely have physical or emotional indications that others can observe. We may lose sleep because we are worried. Strong discouragement can lead to doubt and feelings of despair. It’s important to get a handle on this before it turns into a more serious matter, because occasionally, strong discouragement can turn into disabling discouragement (depression) which makes us feel hopeless and physically and mentally exhausted. I’ve been here. Discouraged. Depressed. Hopeless. It’s a dark, dark place and it’s a terrible thing to feel that God doesn’t love you or care about you. It’s disabling. It’s crushing.
Discouragement can happen for various reasons, and always comes from Satan. The key is to recognize your triggers. Know when your emotions are sensitive and susceptible to going off the railroad. Satan loves to discourage—to attack our minds and make us feel useless, but God commands us to ENcourage. Put courage into. Build up. Strengthen.
Deuteronomy 31:8
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
My counselor showed me an exercise to do when I get triggered. I hold my hands out in front of me face up. My feelings are in one hand. My actions are in the other hand. The space in the middle of them is my opportunity to weigh the truth. If my feelings jump directly to action (hands clasp), I usually end up in a place of discouragement because I will more than likely react badly. I let my feelings rule. Instead, I have to remind myself to be slow to react. I take a deep breath and process my feelings before I allow them to dictate my emotions. Speak truth to myself. Sometimes, ladies, we have to encourage ourselves. Quote Scripture. Isn’t that what Jesus did when Satan came at Him? He simply quoted Scripture. Take the time to write out a few verses that will encourage you when life, people and situations discourage you. Memorize them and say them out loud when you get down.
It took me a long time to come out of my depression the first time it hit me. Years. I went through the motions of living, but deep down, I wanted to go to sleep and never wake up again. Thankfully, I didn’t give up my quiet time with the Lord during that season, but it still took me a couple of years to finally accept that God loved me and had good plans for me.
If you struggle with discouragement or depression, there is hope. I recommend you find a Christian counselor to help you process your feelings. Be sure the counselor is a Bible believer and Christ follower. There are a lot of people who claim to be Christian counselors but do not have a clue what the Bible says. Stay away from them! If you aren’t sure about what to look for, try checking out Focus on the Family’s website and let them help you find a counselor. https://www.focusonthefamily.com/get-help/counseling-services-and-referrals/
Jesus said we will have trouble in this world. Unfortunately, we will get discouraged. We will face trials and stress and persecution. But take heart! He offers His perfect peace and He has overcome the world! We are victorious!
Look up some Psalms and see how David dealt with his discouragement. Isaiah went through it, and so did Job. You are not alone. Life is hard. Being a mama is hard. Being a wife is really hard. But there is so much good in those things. Every good thing in your life comes from God. If you can only name one thing that is good right now, write it down and thank God for it.
Reach out here and I’ll be happy to pray with you and for you and I hope I can offer you some encouragement to keep on pressing on!
Be an Encourager
Titus 2:3-5 “Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.”
Sōphronizō (to encourage) literally means “to cause someone to be of sound mind and to have self-control.”
I realize I now fit in this category of “older women”. I am being convicted to do more of what Paul wrote to Titus about in these verses–be an encouragement to younger women. This is the main reason I started this blog (which is in its very rough beginning stage!), but I can’t keep putting it off. My insecurity (Satan’s taunts) mocks me daily, but I will do my best to keep listening to and acting on God’s prompting.
I encourage young wives and moms to keep on pressing on! If you have questions or need someone to listen, please reach out and we will dig into God’s word together for answers.
Being Unoffendable
Recently, I have been convicted of how offended I have allowed myself to become about every little thing I perceive as an offense. I ran across this blog post by a pastor from Alabama and thought this worth sharing. Visit his blog familyencouragement for more great articles.
Love isn’t Easily Offended
Posted on July 29, 2013 by familyencouragement
Most of the time when I speak at our church it is after special music by a soloist or a group. Many years ago someone sang a song that I had never heard before. I love music and it has had a major impact in my spiritual growth since my teenage years.
After the individual completed the song I came to the pulpit and thanked them and in addition said, “That was a very unusual song; I’ve never heard that before”. I said it warmly and sincerely.
I gave my message and immediately after the service was over the first person to meet me (accosted might be a better term) was the singer. “What was wrong with my song? Why didn’t you like it?”, they demanded.
I was stunned for a moment and then regained my thoughts and inquired as to why they thought I didn’t like it. They replied, “You said it was an unusual song”. I knew then that I was dealing with a person that was easily offended and also full of pride. Later as I reflected upon it I realized that they had sat through the entire message stewing and churning inside. (I may have preached an unusual message that day and they could have offered me the same sentiment to me!)
Graciously I tried to explain my comments. It didn’t work. It couldn’t have worked because in their eyes they had been embarrassed. Perhaps it was because they hadn’t received the commendation expected. With a red face from anger they stormed out of the auditorium. It wasn’t a month before their entire family left our church.
The leaving of our church wasn’t the problem. People leave for all sorts of reasons, many of them are not bad, it’s just life; it happens. However, this was not good. It was because of sin – on their part. Here were the two issues – pride and a lack of love. Rather than seeking to be a blessing and honor the Lord, this person’s motivation for ministry was to receive recognition and honor.
I can’t say it didn’t hurt me. Our church, especially myself, had ministered to this family during a very difficult time in their life. All of the hours of counseling, compassion, and encouragement were thrown to the wind – because I didn’t give the praise and adulation they had expected. (I don’t mind apologizing even when I don’t see how I was wrong in a situation, but this was different. This was a person like Diotrephes in the Bible, in III John 9, who loved to have attention and preeminence among the church congregants. It’s best to let people go in situations like that).
Love doesn’t take offense easily. It isn’t petty. It doesn’t look for an opportunity to be offended (for example, having unmet expectations of not being praised). That is what the Bible means when it says that love “is not easily provoked” (I Corinthians 13:5).
The primary way we respond when offended is to say something negative about the person or situation that has disappointed or hurt us. I discovered later that this individual had spoken negatively about me to some of my friends. At the root of it all was pride and a lack of love. It doesn’t take much to offend someone that is easily irritated.
Who are these people? They are highly sensitive to how others have done them wrong (at least, from their perspective). They react vehemently over insignificant, small issues that do not deserve attention. Petty people are not spiritual people and are selfish, unloving people.
However, it’s a tricky issue. People that are easily offended and petty don’t think they are petty. They think they are just in their protestations over not being honored or having something done exactly according to their desires. In their minds, they aren’t being petty, they are trying to set right a wrong. Their being wronged.
My second born, Jon, on his graduation from college. One of the things I especially love about him is that he is not easily offended. He loves people and they know it.
If God reacted as quickly over our offenses toward Him as we do, all of us would have no hope. And while He does “take offense” at our sin (He is holy and just) when we break His commandments, in His treatment of us He isn’t easily offended but “slow to anger” (Psalm 103:8). I’m grateful for that.
Perhaps another way to express it is that while God takes our sins very seriously and must punish us because of His righteous nature, He isn’t petty about pouncing on us and judging us immediately. “He knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust”. (Psalm 103:14) He is patient with us and gives us time to repent.
When the Lord Jesus was on earth He experienced being mocked, rejected, and falsely accused. Yet, He wasn’t easily offended though He had every right to be.
For example, He was accused of being born illegitimately (John 8:41) , being a Samaritan and possessed by a demon (John 8:48). All of these were not only untrue, but highly explosive in the culture in which He lived.
How did He respond? He didn’t. It wasn’t because He was a coward or guilty of wrongdoing. It was because He loved even those that hurled cruel and hurtful words toward Him and about Him to others. He was able to trust His Father to deal with His reputation and life rather than being easily offended.
Our response should be the same of that of Christ. The Bible says that “…when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously…” (I Peter 2:23)
Perhaps no other area are we deemed more Christlike than when we keep our mouths shut when we want to strike back. And we likewise express our lack of godliness by our taking offenses so readily. It’s wrong and when you love someone you won’t do it.
Isaiah the prophet records Christ’s response of silence to those that participated in His being beaten and crucified – “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth”. (Isaiah 53:7)
This example of our Lord in suffering is one that ought to encourage us not to quit when we experience personal offenses. We ought to think of how tolerant He is of us and cease from our petty ways.
The Bible exhorts us concerning Christ to “…consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.” (Hebrews 12:3) When I consider the kindness and mercy of God, His patience toward me in my own sin, how dare I become easily offended at other people. Hey, if they knew the truth about me it would be worse than what they are already saying about me.
Yes, one day Christ will return to punish those that reject Him (II Thessalonian 1:7-9), but today is a day of mercy. My God is not petty. I should not be either if I am to reflect His heart.
About ten years after the “singer with the unusual song” had left our church my wife and I saw this individual and their spouse in a store. I engaged them in conversation to catch up on how things were going in their lives. The singer’s spouse looked at me in the eyes with a pleasant expression and we had a nice chat. The singer looked down the entire time and mumbled some monosyllable when I addressed any questions to them.
Here’s what I know. I’m not the only person in her doghouse. People that are easily offended over silly issues accumulate them through the years. They keep score and have excellent recollection of what happened. When their expectations aren’t met (of being honored and recognized) then the fight is on. The issue is this: are you fighting back? Perhaps you are the one reading this that is harboring lots of offenses from others. Something is wrong.
Here’s a clue to help you discern if you are easily offended. If Rob has a problem with Sam, and Rob has a problem with Dave, and Rob has a problem with Bill, and Rob has a problem with Steve – Rob is the problem. The sad thing is, Rob almost always believes everyone else is the problem.
Consider this tough question to answer It’s tough because most of us are dishonest in answering it. Are you a petty person? Are you easily offended? Can you still recall hurts long ago and do you “keep score”? Do you quickly react negatively to your spouse, children, people at work, or at church? Remember, people that are petty don’t think they are.
The truth is, it’s a lack of love to constantly be easily offended. Love “…is not easily provoked” (I Corinthians 13:5). I close with this thought to ponder: Jesus said it was impossible not to be offended (Luke 17:1). It’s a part of life. Love enables you to overlook hurts and even not to be offended in the first place.
May today be a new day in your walk with the Lord as you allow Him to help you to be quiet and not defend yourself from a perceived hurt. And better yet, to repent of pettiness and being offended in the first place. You’ll enjoy life better and be much easier to live with.

Thank Me For the Fleas!
Last night I asked the Lord to give me an encouraging word— anything. This morning the phrase “Thank Me for the fleas!” came to my thoughts. I took a minute as I pondered this thought and said it out loud, “Thank You for the fleas?!” and then with a shout I said, “Thank God for the fleas!!” YES!!!
He reminded me of Corrie Ten Boom. Some of you know exactly what I mean when you read that phrase.
Corrie and her sister Betsie were in Ravensbruck concentration camp during WW2. They were Dutch not Jewish but had assisted in getting Jews away from the Germans. The 6 Jews they were hiding the day Corrie and her family were arrested managed to escape.
Corrie was about 52 years old and her sister 58 when arrested. Corrie’s father died 10 days later. When placed in the barracks, they discovered fleas. How were they to live in such cramped, unsanitary conditions? But Betsie remembered I Thessalonians 5:14-18 which says to give thanks in ALL circumstances! Betsie began giving thanks, even for the fleas. Corrie refused but Betsie insisted that God says to be thankful for everything.
Weeks later they realized the guards would not enter the area because of the fleas! They were free to sing, worship and do Bible studies with the other women! Betsie died in that camp but Corrie went on to have a remarkable ministry all over the world until she died at 93!
What we see right now looks like “fleas”, but for the grace of God! Oh how He will use those fleas!
In everything give thanks for this is the will of God!
Nothing happens that He does not first allow. We must trust Him and thank Him for all that we see no matter what it looks like. Because what we can’t see right now is going to be amazing when He allows us to see His plan!
The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the Name of the Lord!
Job 1:21
So I thanked Him for all those fleas this morning!

How do I know if I’m a Christian? How do I know if I’ll go to heaven when I die? 8 questions to ask yourself to have assurance of your salvation:
So, how do I know that I won’t be one of those people who claim to be a Christian and yet find out on judgment day that I was completely wrong?
I’ve been studying the book of Romans and here are some nuggets I’ve picked up from reading my Bible along with John MacArthur’s commentary on the book of Romans. (A good, trustworthy Bible commentary is an excellent resource to really go in-depth in your study. I highly recommend John MacArthur!)
We know from Scripture that no one is right before God on their own. Romans 3:23 tells us that “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:10 says, “No one is righteous—not even one.” If you aren’t as good as God, you aren’t acceptable to God.
Ask yourself these 8 questions and be completely honest with your answers.
- Do I love God and His Word and do I glorify Him with my life?
Deuteronomy 6:5 “And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.”
Psalm 1:2 “But they (believers) delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.”
I Chronicles 16:25 “For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;”
To love someone is to spend time with them and truly listen to them. Love is an action word. Who has first place in your life? God’s Word is His love letter to us. Read it.
What is the direction of your life? Do others watch you and listen to you and know you are different? Do you act like the bride of Christ and honor Him?
2) Have I repented of my sin and do I hate sin?
To confess is to acknowledge your sin and be in agreement with God that your sin is wrong. Repentance is to make a decision to turn from your sin—to go the opposite direction. Are you sorry for your sin, or are you mostly just sorry when you get caught? Psalm 51 is David’s confession of his sin. He tells God, “Against you, and you alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight.”
Sin is evil. Sin cost God His Son’s life. He takes it very seriously. He abhors it and we should too.
3) Do I spend time in real prayer?
By real prayer, I mean more than a sentence here and there of “God I need this” or “God I need that”; although occasionally that’s OK, too. We should pray without ceasing and let our requests be made known to God. It should be habitual to continually be in communion with God. But do you really spend time thanking Him, praising Him and seeking answers from Him and not just giving Him your request list? Do you pray with your Bible open so that you can hear (by reading) what He has to say?
4) Am I humble?
Does my sin convict me and show me how unworthy I am of His grace? Am I willing to suffer and give up what I want for Christ’s sake? Or is my sin/selfishness more important to me? We live in a self-saturated society. It’s all about what makes me feel good/feel happy. Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.
5) Do I love others selflessly?
Is your life marked by a loving spirit? Do you love others as I John 4:7-8 commands? “Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. 8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.”
6) Am I separated from the world?
I John 2:15-17: 15 “Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.”
What excites you? Hollywood? Do you know more about sports, music and movie stars (idols) than you do about the Bible and the life of Jesus? Who are your heroes? What does your life reflect?
7) Am I growing spiritually?
Do you read the Bible daily? Are you trying to get to know God better? Everyone makes time for what’s important. Is growing closer to God important to you? Do you want to know what He has to say about how to live your life? Be careful who you listen to—many false teachers are speaking heresy. You have to KNOW what the Bible says in order to spot counterfeit teaching.
8) Do I live in obedience to Scripture?
Love = obedience. John 14:15 15 “If you love me, keep my commands. I John 2:3-6 3 “We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 4 Whoever says, ‘I know him,’ but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 5 But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.”
While works do not save us, they are evidence of a life that has been transformed. James 2:14 14” What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions?”
To obey the commands, you have to know the commands. Again, read your Bible. Your good deeds (works) should glorify God, not you.
Matt 7:21-23 are some of the most terrifying verses in the Bible to me. 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’”
These people did good works. They called Jesus “Lord”. But HE didn’t know THEM. They didn’t spend time with Him. They knew ABOUT Him, but they didn’t have a personal relationship with Him.
Personal relationship is the bottom line. Do you have the kind of relationship with Jesus Christ that you can say you truly know Him and what pleases Him and He truly knows you and speaks to you? You must read Scripture. Know what you believe, why you believe it and know how to communicate it effectively.
Jude 24-25 “To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.”
If you have never trusted in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, or if you believe in Jesus, but your life does not show evidence that you are a child of God, please reach out through my email address to find out how you can have assurance that you are a Christian.
A Prayer for Our Nation
Father,
You are the King of all Kings. You are Sovereign over all. You have complete control of every situation, every action, every thing. You set kingdoms up and You take them down. Your name is to be praised above every name. You are deserving of all praise and honor and glory.
Oh God, I come before you in repentance, Lord, for being lazy. For keeping my mouth shut when I should have spoken. For speaking when I shouldn’t. For worrying about offending others with Your Word. For complaining and gossiping and sowing dissension. Lord, my mouth can get me into a lot of trouble. My words come out of a sinful heart. Luke 6:45b “What you say flows from what is in your heart.” Forgive me. Wash me clean and make me usable for your Kingdom.
Lord, our nation is in trouble. We as Christians have grown complacent. We have allowed the enemy to convince us to keep our mouths shut and our opinions to ourselves for the sake of peace. We have believed the lie that loving others means never confronting them with sin. We have let you know in so many ways that we don’t need you in our daily lives. We have turned our face away and allowed our schools and government to erase any mention of you and your Son, Jesus. And as a result, you have left us to our own devices. You have slowly been removing your hand of protection and we haven’t even noticed. We asked for it; You gave it. And now we are crying out to You to save us. We are losing the freedoms we have taken for granted so fast our heads are spinning and we are weeping like children who have been separated from their mama. Hear our cry, O God. Come to our rescue! Like a prince in a fairy tale, we long for you to save us.
This election is in your hands and You will declare the winner. Nothing is beyond your reach. No one can cheat their way past Your sovereign will. But I plead with you to have mercy for just a few more years. Now I see what is coming. Now I know that I had better prepare. Now I know I can no longer fear being mocked or being “cancelled” or persecuted. Tribulation and persecution are here in America. I just ask that you give us a little more time. Let your army of Christian soldiers rise up and fight the good fight!
To You alone be the glory, Father. The labor pains are getting stronger and closer together. This world is coming to an end. You have told us what to expect. You have a plan and a purpose and I have to trust You. You are coming soon. Come, Lord Jesus! Rev 22:20
