My life scripture is Psalm 40:1-5  "He brought me up out of a horrible pit... and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps, He has put a new song in my mouth- Praise to our God...."

 I am refreshed by being thankful, enjoying the outdoors; rivers, beach, walking, mountains, spending time reading God's word and hearing from the Holy Spirit, and daily devotional reading, and letting God's love flow through me to others.

PEG BONNICE

Two Scriptures I am striving to embrace are  "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"-Romans 8:1 and "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”- Romans 8:38-39

 I am refreshed by doing a creative sewing project or listening to a good audio book.
