Some words of wisdom...

If we seek an easier route to avoid the pain or challenge, we miss out on discovering more of the God who wants to companion us, in and through, the mystery and uncertainty.

When life is stripped away to it's lowest state, it is the people in our lives that are most important to us. It's during difficult times when we remember that our family, our friends and a close community, make life worth holding on to when it would be very easy to let go.

While some people believe the power of prayer is demonstrated by strong faith and sinless lives, it is more about trusting God when our prayers seem to go unanswered. The jouney of prayer is about asking for and gradually gaining confidence in God's justice and mercy and holiness. It's learning to trust God in spite of the time when our prayers go unanswered.
