"DO ALL THAT YOU HAVE IN MIND, HIS ARMOR-BEARER SAID. GO AHEAD; I AM WITH YOU HEART AND SOUL."
~ 1 SAMUEL 14:7


The path that God has had me on these many years now have been everything save void of surprise. My times of comfort have been few, for I believe now that God is in the business of continual life renewal, not simply one-night stands. In other words, He never wants me to remain the same as the day we first met, but rather, to continually step closer to Himself through a life surrendered and palpable in His artistic hand.

Though comfort has been minimal, those friends God has placed in my life have been many and great. Some have remained my steadfast companions to this very day. Others remain cherished God-divined appointments at specific moments in my life when support, guidance, tears and laughter were most needed. Yet all remain one thing: blessings.

In the moments, days, weeks and yes, even years, that I find myself attempting life's complexities as a solitary sojourner, I am reminded by the Lord that we were never meant to journey alone. Not only can I have confidence that the Lord goes with me, "heart and soul," but that also He equips me with those individuals who stand beside me to encourage and strengthen me along the way. I'm humbled and truly amazed as I look down my growing list of those who have made a marked and lasting impression upon me. Truly, it is a high honor to be grafted into the fellowship of Christ and to be connected through the body of believers that are not only co-heirs in Christ, but also fellow brothers and sisters, whom share a common purpose and end destination. Amazing!
