“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” – John 16:33 There is so much that can be learned from this one verse. In this verse, we are being told that even though we will have trouble throughout our time here in this world, we should have peace within our hearts. We shouldn’t live in worry or fear, we shouldn’t be afraid of what may come tomorrow, instead, we should live in peace. The Lord has overcome all that …
Godly Leaders
Scripture: Exodus 5: 21 “May the Lord look upon you and judge you. You have made us a stench to Pharaoh and his officials and have placed a sword in their hands to kill us.” Moses was leading the Israelites and interceded for them: He asked God why He had brought so much trouble on His people: for ever since he went to Pharaoh and spoke in God’s behalf, Pharaoh has brought trouble on his people and God has not rescued them.

A Rough Patch?
It was just going to be a simple fix up downstairs in our open living area and kitchen. We looked at lots of flooring but there was that idea that we could just have the floors stained since we’re on a slab. That was a great idea. Until we began to pull up the flooring in the kitchen area. What we found was a rough patch of concrete that was flaking off. Because of this small area of trouble we would have to completely skim coat the entire downstairs area – over a thousand square feet. We went back to …
