An inspirational thought for the day

by

Good Monday Morning everyone,
I wanted to stop in and leave you with an inspirational thought. When things seem to go wrong, no matter hard you try to make them work, instead of getting angry and frustrated at the situation, give it to God. When you feel that you’ve lost all hope, remember that no matter what, God is with you.
This is the message I want to convey by sharing A Journey of Faith, the story that God laid upon my heart, with the world. Please help me touch the life of someone in need of God’s love, and the hope that is found when you ask Jesus to come into your heart and be the Lord of your life. Please cast your vote for A Journey of Faith at http://soopllc.com/blog/book-ideas/journey-faith-ann-harrison.
Please feel free to add a positive comment if you have any thoughts on what I’ve said in my recent blog posts, or any blog posts that I have published here.
Love and prayers,
Ann
