We are teachers, professionals, some retirees, some still working and others who are caregivers of the young and the elderly.  We are Bible Study leaders and writers who have walked with the Lord for many years. Some of our past paths have walked the challenges of growing up in homes without love, some in painful and dysfunctional surroundings, one of us has lived a life in an orphanage with siblings and a few of us grew up in healthy surroundings. Yet, there is one thing that has united all of us, and that is we have all been challenged by life and all it’s up and downs by the loss of loved ones and the heartbreak of wayward children and the broken lives of those we love and even our own. We have learned through all of this that this one thing we know, the Lord is our refuge and strength, a very present Help in times of trouble. He is our hope and joy, and He is our peace and comfort. In Him and Him alone are we able to walk this life with joy, true Joy, amidst all the hardships and struggles that this life has to offer. So we hope you are inspired in this website by our simple Bible Studies, lessons that we have learned over our years of living life with the Lord. May we share this verse with you and hope that it inspires you to open a Bible and hear His messages of love and truth He has for you! “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:7-8 NIV)
