Running With Zebras

A powerful force of nature; fire was created for many practical uses. But when flames of destruction ignite, how can we grab hold to hope? Two words: LOOK UP! While walking through my own blazing furnace, I have been challenged with finding the peace that transcends all understanding. "Do not be anxious" are words difficult to live out when faced with an uncertain future and relentless fear. Recognizing that peace surrounds, even in the furnace of affliction, can be a challenge. By looking up, this daughter has found tools to persevere even when the temptation to quit was strong. Blessed by inspirations of strength, I have been honored to fight alongside fellow zebras unafraid to run their race, and through the strength of Christ, I am learning to run my own as He builds my banner of faith. I pray that my story will help you as you walk through your own blazing furnace.
