Jennifer Shares A Personal Experience About Her Faith Sometimes the best choices are the hardest to make. Sometimes wisdom appears foolish and faith fanatical. As a young mother striving to live for Jesus, I quickly learned just how contrary the things of God appeared to those who don’t understand Him. When I chose to stay home, there were those who thought I was lazy. When I attempted to follow the Holy Spirit’s guidance and guard our daughter’s influences, I was accused of sheltering her. I was told my actions would ultimately harm her and leave her maladjusted. My attempts to explain, or perhaps more accurately, to defend my choice, didn’t help. Although I shouldn’t have expected any different. My discussion of God’s leading—of His gentle voice, spoken softly yet clearly to my heart—a

Many times we chase after the things of this world, running to those chattels we think can make us happy…money, drugs, alcohol, sex. We seek after success, thinking it’ll fulfill us…recognition, fame, wealth.
