A couple of weeks ago I asked for people to share how their faith in Christ has allowed them to overcome their difficulties.  Kris Stevens shared her story in a comment and many of you wanted to see the video.  Here is her comment and a link to the video. 

This past weekend was one of the most rewarding weekends of my life.  It all started with my birthday on Friday.  I turned the big 40.  Its true and I am no longer in denial—I’m getting older but I felt special the entire day.

We all face challenges in life.  These challenges can be overwhelming and leave us feeling discouraged and fatigued.  This is one reason the Body of Christ is so essential to us all.  We help each other through connection and encouragement.

When things seem to worsen we must not only be at our best we must also trust God’s sovereignty.   As a young man God gave Joseph a dream of making an impact with his life.  For 30 years his life seemed to head straight downhill at breakneck speed.
