Do You Have Grit Like Faith?

Do You Have Grit in Your Faith?

Posted on July 10, 2020July 20, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

Do you have the grit to grow in your faith? Or, is your time with God just ho-hum? During the days of COVID-19, have you grown closer to God….or farther away?

I️ Want More! Can't Get No Satisfaction

I Want More!

Posted on January 16, 2017May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

I want more! Can’t get no satisfaction in this world anymore. As I stand in our driveway nonchalantly watching as my son swings nearby, I can’t help but notice my neighbor pull into the driveway in a brand-spanking’ new car. It’s white and sparkling, not a dent anywhere. I can only imagine the clean smell… Continue reading

Hey God, Why in the World Am I️ Here?

Hey God, “Why am I Here?”

Posted on March 28, 2016May 22, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

How Do You Respond When God Unsettles You?

Posted on April 11, 2015May 25, 2020 by Cheerful Soul
