You are a part of the solution, destined to bring hope and joy into places where darkness currently appears to rule.
Appearances can be deceptive. You really mustn’t believe everything you read, Instead, engage in all things with me. Let me be your filter as you navigate this journey. When you do that, I can show you the solutions, give you ideas that will be just what is needed at any given moment in time.

“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:19 NIV
