Declaring All the Reasons You Can

It is easy and practically the given norm of humanity to find all the reasons why we 'can't' and shouldn't do a thing that has been burning in our hearts to do.

A Time to Grow & A Time to Rest by Briana Lassiter

Plan BIG!: A Word on Vision Casting

"When God is your partner, make your plans big!" ~ D.L MOODY Plan BIG! You'd think that that exhortation would make every person who heard it celebrate with a motivated fire for action when in reality it makes a lot of people shrink back in fear and hide under the heavy blankets of safety and [...]

Fire Through The Window: The Season of Preparation

  The Fall By Candice Coates, written September 28, 2015 The world looked like fire from the view of her bedroom window. The leaves on the trees had been set ablaze by the match called Fall.

Start with Fire: Start Here pt 2

Renewing Your Vision

*Revised from April 15, 2016 "Worse than being blind is to see and have no vision" ~HELEN KELLER Proverbs 29:18 says, "Where there is no VISION the people PERISH..."
