The uneven journeys of life can make us or break us. Not everyone comes through
these experiences a better person. It all depends upon a personal relationship with
Jesus Christ. In baseball lingo, life throws us many curves, change-ups, sliders,
knuckleballs, to go along with an occasional fastball. In hitting a baseball, the
batter has to make adjustments. In the Christian experience, adjustments have to
be made in order to navigate through difficult waters. Christians are promised the
PRESENCE of the Holy Spirit to help them be victorious through life, but even
Christians can fail if they do not dress in the full armor of God. Consistent study
of the Word, a mature prayer life, a faithfulness to the church body, and strong
discipleship are vital to coming through life's journeys. In military terms, a soldier
can have a helmet, fatigues, boots, and a good- looking rifle, but if he forgets his
ammunition, he will ultimately fail.
David and Cheryl have navigated through some deep waters, and with a strong
dependence upon God, have seen some wonderful successes. The Lord has been
their constant friend through life, and they have learned to trust and obey Him.
Yes, there are severe tests, bumpy roads, and relentless attacks from the enemy,
but together they have placed their faith in God's unchanging hand. They have
remembered, "The storm that satan sent to break you is the same storm that God
will use to make you." You are No, Never Alone."
