They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint! (Isaiah 40:31) One of the hardest moments in life is the space between believing God’s promise and the fulfilling of a promise. Waiting for God’s timing is never wasted time. When we walk by faith, our sight is limited or we cannot see it, but this process is important in growing our faith. Even though we can’t see it, we believe! (Hebrews 11:1, 2 Corinthians 5:7, Hebrews 11:6) You may be facing a situation that seems like an uphill journey or maybe seems impossible, but I encourage you to look beyond your limits, your storm, your condition and celebrate the big and small victories!

I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for!" (Jeremiah...

Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not promised, so at this moment—today is all you have. ( Psalm 90:12) Yesterday was for choices, learning and growth and tomorrow or the future will be for reaping what you plant today.
