Encouragement for Discouragement

God shields us from most of the things we fear,
but when He chooses not to shield us,
He unfailingly allots grace in the measure needed.
It is for us to choose to receive or refuse it.
Our joy or our misery will depend on that choice.
Elisabeth Elliot


We are hard-pressed on every side, 
yet not crushed; 
we are perplexed,
 but not in despair; 
persecuted, 
but not forsaken;
struck down, 
but not destroyed
2 Corinthians 4:8-9


To all my dear sisters who have and are walking with me through some tough times, graciously and lovingly giving me godly perspective and helping to keep my head above some very murky waters, all allowed by our Father's loving hand for my good and for His glory...I love you....thank you! You have no idea how much you are helping this sister. ~BIHP<3

THIS is what we do for one another, as sisters in Christ and women of God. :-)
