“Now that the worst is over,
we’re pleased we can report that we’ve come out of this with conscience and faith intact,
and can face the world—
and even more importantly, face you with our heads held high.
But it wasn’t by any fancy footwork on our part.
It was God who kept us focused on Him, uncompromised.”
~2 Corinthians 1:12 MSG~

Heart to Heart with Holley: Walk On
God not only walks with us through hard times…
…he turns them into stepping stones that take us
places we never could have gone without them.
Two words for today: Walk on!This is not easy or what we would have chosen, but this is the path we are on.Anna Lee
