A Leap Of Faith [COMPLETED]

5. Encouragement

I think we can all admit it's been an overwhelming year. For me, when everything shut down, my sister was in another state and I was terrified of what was going to happen.

But the coolest thing happened, when I read my Bible each morning I found so many versions where it talked about God being there for us, helping us through crazy times.

And so since I know that you've been facing crazy times as well I wanted to share with you the versions I found most encouraging!!

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1-2 (KJV)

For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord. Psalm 117:2 (KJV)

I hope this was encouraging to you and that you saw how much God loves and cares for us and will be with us in times of trouble!

I love you, Noodle!
