God Has a Plan Even When Confusion Overwhelms You
God has a plan for our lives. A good plan. Even when we are confused and overwhelmed. But, how do we go about following His plan?
Trusting God and Living Surrendered
Peace, joy, hope, love, and yes, strength comes through trust and surrender. The world may have given you a negative view of the word “surrender”, but in God’s world, it is an act of courage.
