So. As you may or may not know, my biggest desire is to be able to help you to find and keep peace in your soul. Finding this peace will cause your mind and body to begin to heal itself physically, spiritually, and mentally.

I can tell you this is so because I have experienced it in my own life. Time and time again, I have found myself in a place of unrest. I have sought the Lord through prayer, scripture, Bible studies of many kinds, and fellowship with believers who have experienced the same issues, and found relief.

In fact, that is the very reason I created my course “Significant Encounters – A Soft Place to Land”.

Recently, in fact currently, I find myself in this place again. My sleep has been disrupted by pain in my knees so intense, that it awakens me several times each night. Deep, restful sleep has eluded me for more than a month.

Why am I telling you this? So that I can tell you this;

There will always be storms. There will always be times when we wonder if all of our efforts have been worthwhile. Time when we want to give up. There will always be things that want to take our attentions away from the things that we feel passionately about.

I firmly believe that at times, the things that happen to us are simply tools to make us stronger. Can I pass this test again, only a level higher? A little bit stronger?

2 Corinthians 4:1 in the Easy to Read version of the Bible says this – God, with his mercy, gave us this work to do, so we don’t give up.

So, we do just that. We don’t give up. We will trust God. We will persevere. We will wear our tenacity like a robe. We will gain wisdom. We will gain strength. We will reap if we faint not. (Galatians 6:9)
