The title Liquid Sunshine is a symbolic expression derived from
simply taking the trials throughout life (rain) and merely
perceiving them as growth from the Lord (sunshine). Understand this
is the reason why sunshine and rain, good days and bad ones, have
been given to us from God-so we can grow in moderation as plants
do, trusting in him. In this story of love, life, and fi nding the
will of God, Jayden Rockaway, a charming senior in college,
struggles to maintain a healthy relationship with the Lord, while
involved with his girlfriend and an unwanted third party. After
multiple breakups and much tension between the three of them, the
Lord's will for his life is found. Throughout this challenging
experience, God paints a beautiful work of art and only by Jayden's
willingness was it created. Once he stopped chasing the temporary
and meaningless things of this world and pursued the perpetual and
everlasting things that God wanted for him, he mentally saw a
completed image, what many call the big picture, right before his
very eyes. Now, we can all agree that hindsight is a wonderful
explosion of revelation; however, to receive a glimpse of a
painting before it is fi nished is a gift like none other. Step
into this story and share my umbrella, if you will. See how the
good and bad weather of a particular season can blend together and
create one beautiful day.
Sand between my toes, the salt air wrapping around me like a
warm, summer blanket, the crashing of waves, and the meeting of sky
and water. The beach is where I see the handiwork of God. As a
young child, it was there that I wished that I could walk on the
water as Jesus and Peter had in Matthew 14. It was there that I
learned of faith, the faith that requires you to not only step out
of the boat but also to focus on Jesus and learn to walk toward Him
daily. It is not enough to just get out of our comfort zones, but
now we need to learn to grow and walk toward Him constantly. The
Faith to Walk on Water takes a look at why standing still in our
faith is no longer an option, how doubt and fear are overcome by
Jesus. He does not watch from a distance, but He is always there
holding out His hand for us to take hold. So what are you waiting
for? Take that step, and walk on the water
Ezekiel 31:7 "Thus it was beautiful in greatness And in the length
of it branches, Because its roots reached to abundant waters."
Romans 11:13 "For if the first fruit is holy, the lump Is also
holy; and if the root is holy, so Are the branches." Ephesians 3:17
"that Christ my dwell in your hearts through Faith; that you, being
Rooted and grounded in love." By the Grace of God I have recently,
with the passing of my father, been able to realize and understand
my roots through the tribe of Aaron. As a result of this blessing I
have been inspired by my church and family to write this devotional
of Communion Messages. Hopefully, this devotional will be a
blessing to anyone that can use it for Communion in Church, or at
home. With this blessing I sign my name; Bruce Allyn Cohen
This book informs the readers about the life of a Southeastern
Kentuckian and his struggles with 17 years of religious teachings
coupled with, once into real world employment, corruption in the
government of the United States of America and treasonous acts by
members of the executive and legislative branches of the federal
government.
The author will try to explain and encourage those that are
seeking to marry that marriage is a holy estate instituted by God.
Marriage was ordained for the life-long companionship, help and
comfort which husbands and wives ought to have for each other. The
author's deepest focus points are: Life-long Marriage and Finding
the Right Mate.
Many married couples do not keep the marriage vows they made.
Because of that, I recommend marital counseling before marriage.
The author does not focus too much on divorce because of his
disbelief in divorce. It was Moses that executed the bill of
divorce. He did it to protect the women because husbands would
divorce their wives for anything just to marry another woman.
Women have a moral personality and are not a thing that men may
hand over to another, and then take her back again at his
pleasure.
The author believes there is not law instituting or commanding
divorce. Most people use Matthew 19:9, where Jesus was only
explaining what Moses meant. The marriage that God wants is a
marriage of a life-long commitment; a forever happy home

Jill Gebhart Campbell's passion for poetry, writing, and drawing
prompted her to write this book, utilizing these creative genres,
in order to portray her bipolar illness in a more personal way. It
is also a reflection of how the devastating effects of bipolar
disorder shaped her life. The author's story is about a young
woman's odyssey of triumph and sorrow and her journey to find
herself again. Before her diagnosis, she was a beautiful,
compassionate young woman who excelled in both athletics and
academics. After her diagnosis she gained more than 120 pounds-due
to health issues, sick children, psychiatric hospitalizations, and
unsuitable medications. She became depressed, self-consumed, and
bitter. The debilitating depression and hauntingly real
hallucinations forever impacted the way she sees life and how life
sees her. Her faith in God proved to be her ultimate anchor through
her heart-wrenching circumstances. After admission to solitary
confinement, due to hallucinations, she experienced an even more
profound depression. "The white walls, barred windows, cold cement
floors, and white bedding only exacerbated my feelings of isolation
and left me swirling downward in an even deeper depression."
However, the Lord's unconditional love has allowed her to walk on
the bright side once again. She overcame all the odds to become the
woman she longed to be. She has attained the serenity one reaches
when they've been to the very end, beyond hope, yet made it back.
Some inspiring words to help you face the storms in your life,
whatever they may be, and give you insight into bringing you to a
deeper and richer life in Christ.
With each diagnosis, she comes up with new and intriguing
articles on what God is trying to tell her and what she needs to do
to understand the situation. There are personal reminders that we
are all on our individual journeys and there are powers greater
than ours to help if we just open up to it. God gives us
opportunities in the most unusual circumstances. We must follow in
the dark, we must follow not knowing why, we must follow with
absolute faith. We must be aware, mindful, steady, like a pack
mule. We all are battling adversity. Her encouraging approach to
honoring herself, her God, and others can also help you.
