For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity,

Read MoreAs believers our greatest weakness is passivity. In our right hand is the sword of the spirit which is the word of God, for the attack, in our left hand is the shield of faith. We are equipped with weapons to fight on our own behalf and on behalf our families!
Read MoreEmbarking on a journey of faith is never easy. There are days I feel confident and ready to tackle the world and there are days when I wake up in a full on panic, overcome with fear and worry. I am sad to say I have had more of the later so far in 2018.
