Believing That You Can
He tells me his love exceeds the deepest pain...
So then I dare
To give the Lord my every care; this pain I cannot bear.
Time spent with my father is worth the loss.
Surrender the fruits, it’s worth the cost.
Oh, these eyes will see a better day.
Thank You Lord for blessing me, loving me.

Our Amazing Journey
Once we were ambitious, easygoing, strong, driven,
impressive out-of-the-gate team players. We would do/did
do anything for anyone. We were full of laughter, life, love.
We were used, abused, shattered, hopeless, faithless, living-
in-fear women. Now, we play the lead in our life stories,
live on the edge of reason, show off our strengths and
purposes, defying anything. When we are in doubt, we
always take the high road, We are living life to its fullest
potential. Somewhere, somehow with renewed focus, we
have made it from living hopeless, faithless, fearful, lives to
living in hope, faith, with no fear. We found our “perfect
partner.” This “perfect partnership” is being built in our
spiritual lives, faith to faith with God. What’s in store for
our lives now? We are triumphant over tragedies, standing
strong. Understanding when we trust and obey God,
knowing that He is the only Source we need. He will show
us how to get done, what we need to do. We have perfect
faith. We know God is the true, whole solution. When we
believe in God’s Word, standing in faith, sometimes we find
ourselves wondering what is going to happen next or if God
is going to help us through this next obstacle course.
Remember: It is impossible for God to do nothing!
