MtR: +/-

And what more can I say? Time is too short for me to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets, who by faith conquered kingdoms,administered justice, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched the raging of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, gained strength after being weak, became mighty in battle, and put foreign armies to flight. Hebrews 11:32-34
I so enjoyed the end of my day today...much more than the beginning.  God topped it off with His Word speaking to my heart and reminding me through the faith chapter, Hebrews 11, that He changes negatives to positives in my life just like He did in the lives of those named in verse 32.    
In verse 34, the focus is on the positive aspect of gaining strength instead of the negative of being weak.
I so needed this tonight.
God is good...no matter what.

My health journey to where I am today began back in 2010. It is amazing that things do not happen accidentally, even if they seem to in the beginning. Actually, as the pieces of my story have come together, this story begins w

anchored

My word for 2018.  Anchored. To keep from drifting. Representative of stability and strength. Connected. Held.  Grounded.  Positioned.  Fixed. Movable. Small, yet, essential part of a bigger entity. It is a standard by which to live; a goal for which to strive. Anchored.
