Encouragement for you :)

Dear Blog Readers,

You were on my mind today and I thought, "What can I do to brighten their day and send light into their night?" And after speaking with one of my friends concerning relationship issues, I remembered what a great resource the stories shared on Bianca Juarez's blog, "In the Name of Love," are for everyone and anyone who is struggling, disappointed, depressed and ready to throw in the towel and call it quits! Bianca has been there and she's emerged victorious and happily married too. :)

So without further ado, here's a true love story that shows how God is in the details and He's willing to write your own true love story if you just let God have the pen and allow Him to author the greatest romance. :)

A WORD for YOU :)

Have you ever heard a word that spoke to you? I mean a word that completely touched on EVERY SINGLE ONE of your issues that you've gone through or thoughts you've pondered lately? I just experienced that today when I watched "The Other Side of Victory" sermon by DeVon Franklin, Senior Vice President of Production for Columbia Pictures, author and preacher. A-mazing! Truly a God-appointment for me! And by "God-appointment" I mean I knew within the first 5 minutes of this Vimeo recording that THIS is the MESSAGE God wants me to hear for the season of life I'm experiencing at this time.

SO powerful is this preaching all based off a Bible passage (Matthew 9:27-33) and so diverse is DeVon's take on tying in practical reality with this Bible story of the two blind men who were healed by Jesus that I KNOW you will be BLESSED when you watch it!

So without further ado, this is for YOU! :)
