We arrive with nothing at birth, and we leave with nothing at death. All of the in between is the learning process of living right or living wrong. Our strength comes from Holy Spirit within and not ourselves. Holy does not require abundance of wealth, hoards of things, prestigious reputation, or important careers. Those things we […]
Strength in Letting Go Read More »
In our personal struggles that we wrestle with in life, God is in the mix of it. Holy is there even when we do not realize it, for our purpose in this life is saturated with the ebb and flow of our Creator. Holy timing is always perfect. It is us who are impatient pining
