It Was a Rough Day | A Test of Faith
If forced to sum it up in one word – despair. I felt a lack of hope, a heaviness of heart. All week it’s been a battle for my mind – wondering if I really am making a difference in a world cruel to even the most seasoned Christ-follower. Wondering if I had lost a step like a fog was hovering over my brain, struggling to remember details, to get the words “right”. Whatever that means. I made a decision to follow Jesus at the ripe old age of 9. That&rsquo…

Do you remember that moment when God spoke to you? You felt His presence like never before. He called you; as if He spoke your name with a megaphone! For some, that is how God worked in our lives. He knocked on that door of our hearts, ready to change our lives forever! That was absolutely true for me. In my case, I was a teenager. I remember back to that moment like it just happened. I was attending summer camp sponsored by our church. One day, during prayer, I felt that “calling.;…
