He Sees and Cares: Finding God in Our Pain
So I’ve been getting pretty deep in my reading the last few days on how I/we should try to get our minds and thoughts in order. I mean, we’re dealing with a lot right now but I know Job had it worse and God is in control, yet my mind still goes down rabbit holes. I know He is still there though....

God's Plan Through Our Suffering
You ever notice that when we finally get out of whatever it is we are suffering from it never seems to be the way we thought we would get out of it?

I was reading last night and came across an idea that I though was worth sharping. It’s about not treating Christianity like a “cause”.
