    Favorite Scripture: 

    "Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4   

    “I like this verse because it speaks specifically to the identity and purpose of the individual that understands why they were created to live life on this earth. When we truly delight in God, our heart’s desires are fulfilled because our needs and wants have become the needs and wants of our Father in heaven.”

    Favorite Scripture:
    "    and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us." Romans 8:17-18

    "This verse keeps me grounded and focused upward. Jesus was judged and ridiculed daily for his teachings.  He suffered, yet he stayed the course. We are called to share those same teachings, and in doing so we will face the same ridicule and suffering. We will also receive the same heavenly glory which outweighs any earthly suffering we may endure. That is a day I look forward to with much anticipation."
