Thursday Thought - What if we Let Go and Let God?

What if, just for today, you decide to let go of something that you've been struggling with and let God take it on and lead you through it? Give it a try and see how God works things out. . .

Tuesday Truth - The Joy of the Lord is My Strength!

Though tears may fall My song will rise, my song will rise to You Though my heart may fail My song will rise, my song will rise to You While there's breath in my lungs I will praise You, Lord
