About this blog:

“For My Soul" is a very special place created to touch those around the world who can sometimes feel beyond my reach yet near and dear to my heart. Those in other parts of the world who wake up less than inspired about their tomorrows, and challenged to find words of hope and healing for today. This blog is a simple place inspired by an unlikely meeting with an amazing woman who lives on the other side of the world. Here is where I will share thoughts, scriptures, images, sermons, videos, etc. that have inspired my heart, strengthened my faith, and soothed my soul during the highs and the lows that life can bring. I hope you will enjoy!

The God Who Sees

As I am here in the United States with all of the changes that are occurring, I think about others around the world who will wake up today to a reality completely different from my own. But there is one thing we all have in common even in the midst of our differences…
