This blog is intended to encourage you to use your God given voice--good or bad.  We have all heard the voice of Creation--trees rustling, birds singing, waves crashing, etc., as it praises God.  I believe God wants to hear from us as well, especially in songs of praise.  "Praising God has power to change our thoughts, our hearts, and our lives."

Our relationships with each other are important to God.  He specifically guides us in our relationships in six of the Ten Commandments.  Relationships are built upon respect for one another and suffer severely when it is lacking.

We all move at our own pace.  If we are hurried, we often are more likely to make mistakes.  If we are slowed down, we are often impatient and snippy

Wherever you are on your journey...young, middle aged, or old...are you wiser from your mistakes?  Are you living closer to God and relying more on God than ever before?  Have you reached out to God for His forgiving and saving grace?

Strength comes from the hope we believe in through Christ's resurrection.  We are not suffering in vain, but for God's glory to be revealed.
