As we walk the walk of faith, remember THIS life is not the destination, we are on the way to the promised land. And when we fail a test of faith, go to the cross. Jesus has paid for every fall we've made.

What's Your Crocodile? It's hard to let go and not be in control. But we get to trust God more than we trust ourselves!
1) Are we teaching those around us, including little kids, to live by faith or by fear?
