Chatting Faith

Life is full of uncertainty, obstacles and anguish. Some days, it seems like we are merely surviving. But wouldn’t you rather LIVE life? A life full of hope, peace and joy?
Come alongside me as I share my experiences of: failure, sorrow and shame. Yet, coming alive, I’ve encountered God’s grace, mercy and redeeming love!

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught and overflowing with thankfulness.” - Colossians 2:6-7
