I spend so much time trying to conquer them - solve them. Although there is merit in solving the problems I can, it is important to not lose sight of what God may want me to discover in the dark. <br /><br />Thanks, friend! I'm always encouraged in my time here! And thank you for always joining me to share hope at #MomentsofHope! <br /><br />Blessings and smiles,<br />LoriLori Schumakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03146372328978894133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-43355741714725392422017-04-07T12:38:22.569-07:002017-04-07T12:38:22.569-07:00Yes and Amen!

I've been working with our youth on defining words inside the Bible to help us understand what God is saying. The thing is, we can't depend on our own understanding. Praise God that his Holy Spirit gives us what we need when we need it. <br /><br />Ps. I love your quote about unity. "But when we are in unity within us, Unity outside of us... beyond us... well, it's so much more possible!" So much truth right here as well. Onahttp://www.bereanjournal.comnoreply@blogger.com
