Michael Jordan said, “Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up.

You Can Trust God!
What does it mean to trust God? Many of us have difficulty putting our answer into words; when we investigate the Psalms, the Psalmist did not have difficulty articulating why he trusted God.

Yes! He Did It!
One of the most difficult things to do is wait. When you are on your way to work with public transportation, it’s annoying when the buses and trains are not on schedule.

Encourage Yourself
It’s sad when you have gone out of your way to help someone who needed help and they forget. It’s comforting to know that you are not alone.

God Never Disappoints
