Welcome.  I don't know why you're here but I don't believe in coincidences.  Maybe we know each other, maybe we don't.  Either way, I hope you find encouragement in my posts.  This blog is not about my life's story up to this point and it's not about my current woes.  No - this blog is about what I am learning through reading the Holy Bible . You won't find practical advice in this blog.  Instead, you'll find reflections from my daily devotions and what the Lord is teaching me.  Our situations may be different but I believe we all experience many of the same feelings throughout this life. I pray you'll be blessed. Sincerely, Brandalyn It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in Him. Lamentations 3:22-24 KJV  "...
