Somethings do not always turn out the way we expected them to.
God is the author and finisher of our faith, but He’s not obligated to finish what He didn’t author.
Learn how to enjoy where you are on the way to where you're going.
ABOUT JOEL AND JOYCE
Joyce does small acts of kindness when she's out and about in her daily life. She figures that anything she preaches
she should put into practice herself. She shows you how to line up your attitudes in a way that helps you to win in life
and believes that if healthy emotions have helped her, they will help anyone. Joyce had an upbringing that was anything but easy__ and she has wholeness now that she likes to pass on to others.
Joel is about the most grace giving un-judgmental person I have had the privilege of knowing in a lifetime - through his preaching and conversations on-line. He has had the privilege of growing up in a positive happy family in Jesus and has a contagious bright outlook of his own. He loves to take those things that have blessed him and share them with everyone__ especially those who may not have had such a good start in life.
Both Joyce and Joel in their special way will help you to feel good about yourself and God.
