May your roots go down into the soil of God's marvelous love. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is!

Circumstances
In starbucks the other day I heard two guys talking. One was an older man the other was a man in his 20's. The older man asked the younger man if he would be able to say he will follow and believe in God till his last breath. The younger man said he was not postive he could say that because he never knew what circumstances may happen in his life. He went on to explain that he may have a child or spouse die, that he may have a life or death choice of proclaiming his faith, something tragic may test his faith, and so on. Right away I was quick to think I would never say that and how could this man who says he believes in God say that. But that little voice in my head said dont be so quick to judge. Really think about that question and all that it entails. Think of all the circumstances that could happen in someones life. Think about how strong your faith in me really is. Think about what it really means to follow me until I come back or you take your last breath. I had to say a prayer right there not only for that man to find his faith in God and not lose hold of it no matter what the circumstances but that I will and would be able to do the same thing. I want to follow and believe in God till my last breath no matter what circumstances I am dealt in life.
