COT:
Q discussed the secret message of the Thang
Discussion about kicking cancers @$$ especially Q who was diagnosed with leukemia over 7 years ago and the importance of battling through every hard thing.
Q shared battle cry of Psalm27: 1-3 and Philippians 4:13
On the way to work this morning while listening to a podcast a discussion about Philippians 4 was held. Most people think of that verse as if we rely firmly on God we can accomplish things, but if you look one verse prior it talks about through the highs and lows, good, bad and in between, we praise God. Let’s not forget that important piece and Praise God with every difficulty just as much as every good thing.
