FREE PDF Verses Against Fear

Here is where I share my life lessons to encourage you, maybe make you laugh, maybe you might learn something, and maybe you might feel better about who you are!

I draw from the Word (the Bible) and share Scriptures and pictures that I feel help enhance what I'm talking about.

My thoughts might be random, and I hope that they will give you food for thought and remind you of your own experiences and lessons that you have learned yourself.

Habakkuk 2:2

And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that everyone who passes may [be able to] read [it easily and quickly] as he hastens by.

For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day. (AMPC)
