Morning Coffee With Renae

Jonah 2:5 – 6 “The engulfing waters threatened me,
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.

the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you brought my life up from the pit,
O LORD my God.

When I was a little girl, my family and I visited some natural [...]

Jonah 1:13 Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before.

I John 5:6-8 “This is the one who came by water and blood – Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood; and [...]

Well, I’m back. Sort of. For nearly two weeks, I have been in bed with severe bronchitis and laryngitis. The doctor gave me a z-pack and a codine cough suppressant. Needless to say, the codine did its job and I feel like the calendar skipped two weeks.
I have a voice now, though it’s still weak. [...]

I John 4:16-17 “And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgement, because in this world we [...]
