Be Careful What You Pray For

Sometimes, we pray so fervently for what we want, God actually gives it to us, even though He had a better plan. 1 Samuel 8. We weren’t created for everything to go our way here on earth.

Warmth in the Winter Seasons of Life

Have you ever experienced a harsh, lonely time in your life? Winter seasons often come unexpectedly.
