Church buildings might be empty but His word is being preached all across the world online. Today, my pastor preached about Daniel in the lion's den and how Daniel went to the end to prove his love and commitment for the Lord. He knew in his heart that God was sovereign. His character was tested but he came out victorious..

Bloomberg stated today that though there were 11 million Americans who were millionaires just two months ago, that number has gone down by 500,000 instantly. Material gains come and go, but if you put your hopes in God, you will never be disappointed.
It is nice to get earthly recognition for our work, but for me, the award I am so looking forward to is my God saying, "Daughter, well done." "If they stare, let them stare. You can't blend in when you are born to stand out."

~~Psalms 16:8 Today, while I was sitting outside my office to enjoy God's creation, someone asked me, "How can you relax at a time like this." My answer to them was the above Biblical verse. The person said, "I can't argue with that :-)." If you ever feel that you can't bear all the stuff that is going around you, you are not mistaken. Remember one thing though: God is still in control!
"God will give you more than you can bear, but NEVER more than He can bear." ~~Pastor Tim Lundy Venture Christian Church “A life without a lonely place, that is, a life without a quiet center, easily becomes destructive."
