Seasons In Us

"We're not meant for perpetual joy, I think. There are seasons in the world and there are seasons in us, and each have their own purpose.

We are made for winter as much as spring. Made for tears as much as for laughter.

And we are here not just to dance, but to endure."

Do You Have A Mountain To Move?

"The one who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones."

- Chinese Proverb

Holding On

"..I [have] preached about how we give things (relationships, situations, etc.) to God but when things don't seem to be going the way we think it should, we take it back.  Sometimes we take it back when we are on the edge of a breakthrough and we just need to hold on...when we hold on, we'll see victory and His glory at the end of the matter."

Are You Helping or Hurting?

"If we are empty and not taking time to allow God's grace and truth to nourish and replenish us, what do end up giving to the people were supposed to be serving? We may be able to fake it for a while or "press on" to keep things moving, but we are not helping anyone."

The Top of the Mountain

"Remember when you see a man at the top of a mountain, he didn't fall there."
