We all are going to face opposition in life with every opportunity we have. But, just as there is opposition to every opportunity, there is also an opportunity in the opposition we face.
The zig zag in our faith is the ability to keep pressing on even though we are facing opposition. We don't have to let the things that oppose us stop us dead in our tracks, we can zig and zag by faith.
It seems as though hope is something we constantly need to be fighting for. As it's been said, there are no hopeless situations, only people who have grown hopeless about them.

Everyone has fear, but fear doesn't have everyone. We can live confidently and courageously by faith and continue to face our fear!
We definitely all ask this question in our life. There is no easy answer for it, but we don't have to live like a victim to it.

Rejection is a very painful thing that we all experience in our lives. We want to be able to hold those hurts in a way that can bring healing into our lives and the lives of others.
This doesn't stop with death so you can step into life now. No matter what you're going through, continue to choose your faith over your fear.

The longest journey we take in life is the 18 inches from our head to our heart. It's there we find God's love and learn to love as God loves.
To know God is to know love. If we claim to know God we should show this same love to all people.
The cruelest thing we can do is close the door to God's love on others. We are called to love the world around us as Jesus loves the world around us.
Going forward is about first learning to go back to where it all begins.
